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.

    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:

The fire left over 30 dead and many more injured. At the time, the Mont Blanc tunnel disaster was the world’s worst tunnel fire.
