Pelco by Schneider Electric Releases Optera Series

May 21, 2015

Pelco by Schneider Electric announced the release of the new Optera panoramic cameras with SureVision 2.0 WDR imaging technology. Officials stated that the new Panomersive experience provides seamless situational awareness with blended panoramic views, creating a unique and effective panoramic immersive surveillance experience.

“While other multi-imager solutions can be disjointed with separate video streams that are sometimes out of order,” said Kevin Saldanha, senior product manager, Pelco by Schneider Electric. “Optera cameras transparently integrate video across all sensors in the camera, presenting a seamless high-quality user experience. These cameras also allow users to zoom in to the scene for excellent image detail in multiple intuitive immersive views from a VMS. Optera cameras capture 12 megapixel video, at up to 12.5 frames per second at full resolution.”

Optera offers outstanding, industry-leading image quality with SureVision 2.0 technology delivering excellent low light performance and true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) at the same time — all the time. With superior WDR, anti-bloom technologies, 3D Noise filtering and advanced tone mapping, SureVision 2.0 enables the cameras to deliver outstanding image quality in very challenging lighting conditions.

Pelco is releasing the Optera 180⁰ cameras now and plans to release the 270⁰ and 360⁰ models later this fall. All models include a camera and a mount (in-ceiling mount, surface mount, or pendant enclosure) that is ready to install. All models feature a robust, metal, tamper-resistant design, and carry an IK10 impact rating for vandal-resistance.
