Pelco Introduces Sarix Thermal Imaging
with H.264 Compression

Clovis, CA (March 23, 2010) – Pelco is pleased to introduce the Sarix Thermal camera product line, designed to provide customers with advanced network video security functionality in a high-performance thermal imaging product. It will be exhibited at ISC West 2010.

“The power of Sarix imaging science has allowed us to produce a thermal camera product line with industry leading image quality and system performance,” says Dan Scroggins, Senior Product Manager.

The Sarix imaging platform offers an exceptional level of image quality with up to 640 x 480 resolution, 25-micron pixel size and H.264 compression. Compared to MPEG4 compression, H.264 offers much better compression and is more efficient for optimized video quality and minimal bandwidth consumption.

Pelco Thermal Imaging Scientist David Dorn says, “The powerful combination of Sarix image processing and advanced proprietary microbolometer control technology allows us to deliver unprecedented image quality and target acquisition distance for the most demanding surveillance applications.”

Sarix Thermal cameras are compatible with both Pelco and third-party analytics.  According to Scroggins, “Video security algorithms work exceptionally well with thermal imaging cameras. Sarix Thermal cameras have been designed with the ability to deploy advanced algorithms that can take advantage of the thermal data characteristics.”

Like all Pelco Sarix imaging products, Sarix Thermal imaging cameras are based on an open architecture for easy integration into existing platforms. Sarix Thermal imaging cameras are compatible with all Pelco and third-party applications that currently integrate with Pelco Sarix-based fixed and PTZ products.

Typical thermal imaging products sold in the video security market have been designed by traditional thermal imaging manufacturers for a variety of uses. Sarix Thermal was designed specifically with the security professional in mind and is ideal for a variety of applications including port installations, public utilities, critical infrastructure, transportation, and city center surveillance.

The Sarix Thermal camera product line will be available later this year.
