SightLogix Inc., a smart thermal camera manufacturer for perimeter security applications, announces integration of their SightTracker® pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera controller with Videotec’s ULISSE line of positioning devices. The integration gives users an accurate and cost-effective video security solution for comprehensive detection, tracking, and assessment over outdoor areas.

“ Security managers need fast, detailed information about the location and nature of an intrusion in real time,” said John Romanowich, SightLogix President and CEO. “ The integration of SightTracker’s GPS-based PTZ positioning with ULISSE systems provides the necessary domain awareness that is critical for accurate perimeter intrusion detection. ”

The SightTracker solves the challenge of an operator trying to manually locate a target outdoors using a PTZ camera. SightTracker auto-steers PTZ cameras to follow detected targets for greater detail without any human intervention.

Targets are visually displayed on the customer’s video management system with great detail while the target’s location is presented on the SightMonitor map or a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system.

The result is a comprehensive security solution that provides the “what and where” of an intrusion for making fast decisions while capturing the event for evidence.

The integrated solution from SightLogix and Videotec has been proven in real-world deployments. At a Canadian oil refining facility, fixed SightSensor® video analytic thermal cameras provide long-range detection around the refinery’s perimeter, while SightTrackers automatically steer Videotec ULISSE IR360 cameras with infrared illuminators to light the target.
