SightLogix Outdoor Video System Receives Avigilon Certification

SightLogix, a supplier of automated outdoor video systems for area and perimeter security, has partnered with Avigilon to provide compatibility of SightSensor intelligent video cameras with Avigilon's Control Center high-definition video management software.

SightSensor thermal and visible video intrusion detection cameras are designed for accurate, automated video detection and low nuisance alarm rates in a wide-range of outdoor environments. When combined with the Avigilon Control Center software, customers across a range of end-user markets, including petro-chemical, airports, seaports, mass transit/rail, public safety, government, data centers and other critical facilities gain an integrated situational awareness platform for protecting outdoor assets of any size.

“SightLogix' technology provides accurate and cost-efficient security over outdoor areas which require constant vigilance,” said John Romanowich, president and CEO, SightLogix. “When deployed with Avigilon’s system, customers gain an automated video surveillance solution for real-time incident management and response. SightLogix’ open-architecture approach facilitates an easy integration with video management systems such as Avigilon's.”

“The integration of SightLogix' outdoor video analytic cameras with the Avigilon Control Center software will be a great benefit to our customers who need to protect expansive outdoor areas and site perimeters,” said Dave Tynan, vice president of global sales and marketing with Avigilon. “SightLogix' technology offers a unique video surveillance solution for perimeter protection in critical security applications and represents a compelling addition to an Avigilon Control Center system.”

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
