Scallop Imaging, a video imaging technology company that introduced the revolutionary distributed imaging technology, announced several developments that are set to propel the company toward continued growth and development of new technology, including investing in key sales personnel.
Scallop continues to grow its line of distributed imaging technology with the new horizontal D7-180XR, a 7-megapixel surveillance camera that records in full-color high resolution throughout its 180-degree field of view.
The technological advancement has broad implications for the transportation market —the camera is ideal for mounting on buses, trains, and emergency or military vehicles— as well as other specialty markets where a horizontal form factor is required.
The new form factor may also be deployed in traditional stationary settings.
While all of Scallop’s vision systems capture video up to 15 fps, Scallop has increased their Full Resolution (5180 x 1280 pixel) stream from 1-fps to 3-fps for all of the company’s surveillance products, providing an even clearer picture for managers, security personnel and investigators.
To conserve bandwidth, the displayed video stream may be the 15 fps High Definition (1280 x 720 pixels) stream, with the up to four zoom windows “extracted” from the full resolution video stream.
This unique combination provides the highest zoom capabilities (up to 4x) and lower bandwidth usage.
Along with this change, comes changes to the price of the D7-180 and M6-200 cameras – pricing for the D7-180 has changed from $1,500 MSRP to $1,299, and pricing for the M6-200 went from $3,499 to $2,999 MSRP.
“Scallop Imaging continues to develop cutting-edge, scalable, affordable and applicable technology to aid in real-world problem solving in vertical markets,” said Steve Gorski, Chief Sales Officer, Scallop Imaging. “Our focus has remained on continually innovating and positioning ourselves for sustained growth for the next evolution of the company.”
Scallop Imaging added Account Executive Mike Guarino to the team, bringing years of inside sales, business development, and data analysis experience with him.
Previously, Guarino worked with as an Inside Sales Channel Account Executive and Sales Development Representative with Axis Communications in Chelmsford, Mass.
He also has worked as a Data Analyst for Craneware Insight. Guarino has a bachelor’s of science degree in marketing from Roger Williams University.
Scallop also has partnered with several new manufacturer’s rep firms to aid in market growth and offer expertise in expanding Scallop’s market reach, including FM Valenti, Inter-Mountain Marketing, AE Sales Midwest, and Charles & Associates Marketing.
Additionally, Scallop has added two new distributors: GA, which will serve the Caribbean and Latin America, and Communications Supply Corporation (CSC).
Scallop Imaging will showcase their new horizontal D7-180XR at the 2014 ASIS International Expo at booth #2250, Sept. 29 through Oct. 1, in Atlanta, along with the company’s other distributed imaging technology innovations.
