Pelco, Cisco To Develop HD IP Cameras

  • Sep 28, 2009

Pelco by Schneider Electric, and Cisco recently announced a strategic technology agreement to pursue the joint development of new high-definition IP video security cameras built upon Pelco's award-winning Sarix technology platform.

The new co-branded video security cameras will bring together Pelco's leadership in imaging with Cisco's IP networking expertise to deliver the next generation of high-definition IP video security cameras. These cameras will be sold globally by Cisco Authorized Technology Providers and are currently projected to be available from the end of 2009.

"The combination of Cisco's IP networking expertise and Pelco's imaging expertise is a win-win for customers. After conducting an extensive evaluation of current technologies, we found that Pelco has developed one of the most advanced IP HD imaging systems in the global security marketplace," said Bill Stuntz, general manager and vice president of the Cisco Physical Security business unit. "When this product has been provided, we can take advantage of our expertise to deliver best-in-class solutions for customers."

"Pelco and Cisco are natural partners to help drive the next generation of physical security systems,” said Dean Myer, Pelco president and CEO. “We're excited to work closely with Cisco to combine their deep understanding of IP networks with Pelco's industry-leading Sarix technology to drive innovative HD IP camera development for the global security market. Our shared commitment to our customers and proven success in working together will allow us to deliver new features and capabilities that meet the needs of today's safety and security professionals."

Pelco will initially supply Cisco with a complete line of HD imaging technologies that will be used to extend Cisco's existing camera line and network-centric video surveillance systems. Cameras co-branded by Cisco and Pelco will feature the powerful functionality of Sarix technology, including full-frame-rate video, H.264 compression, advanced low-light performance, embedded analytics, auto focus, and easy installation. As joint development proceeds, best-in-class IP networking features will be embedded into the co-branded cameras.

A Confidence Gap survey reveals that 86% of employees feel confident in their ability to identify phishing attempts. But things are not as rosy as they appear; the more significant part of the report finds this confidence misplaced. Read Now
