VANCOUVER, CANADA – March 26, 2012 – Avigilon (TSX: AVO), a leader in high-definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance solutions, today announced at ISC West 2012 its next-generation H.264 camera technology, the H3 platform with enhanced High-Definition Stream Management™ (HDSM). Requiring four times less bandwidth in challenging lighting conditions than previous generations of H.264 cameras, H3 takes full advantage of Avigilon’s innovative HDSM technology.
