Thermal camera manufacturer SightLogix has partnered with Videotec to integrate its SightTracker PTX~Z controller with Videotec’s Ulisse compact HD PTZ cameras, providing users with real-time detection for tracking and assessing outdoor intrusions.


The integration enhances SightTracker from supporting 1950 Videotec analogue cameras to controlling Videotec IP-based compact HD PTZ cameras, using ONVIF profile S. When used in conjunction with SightLogix smart thermal cameras, users can detect intruders over large areas and instantly verify targets with HD video from Videotec’s Ulisse compact domes.

The Ulisse compact HD offers a full HD image coupled with fast and accurate positioning and a 30x motorised zoom lens. In low light environments the camera’s coverage is up to 180m (600ft).

SightTracker uses GPS-based target information provided by an associated SightSensor detection camera to automatically guide the Ulisse compact HD to follow detected targets for greater detail without human intervention.

    David Crawford investigates new cost-benefit analysis of red light cameras. US states can now realistically calculate the economic benefits of using red light safety cameras, alone or in combination with other measures, to cut road traffic accident levels. The results could be of material value in making the case for the cameras as a number of state legislatures continue to debate their acceptability.
