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.

    Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    Smart cameras offer real-time alerts
    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
