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.

    Long-term roadworks pose particular problems for temporary surveillance installations. Converting the hard shoulder to a running lane, either full- or part-time, is the UK Highways Agency’s solution to ease motorway congestion. This is leading to a number of long-term projects where large stretches of the hard shoulder are closed off by temporary concrete barriers and during these roadwork programmes, temporary CCTV cameras are deployed to monitor and record vehicle traffic and workers.
