Full-IP PTZ for IP Cameras

Full-IP PTZ for IP Cameras

Videotec have launched the ULISSE2, a new Full-IP generation of the renowned ULISSE PTZ range for outdoor surveillance, a range which has been respected by the video surveillance market for more than ten years.

Completely reengineered to give the absolute maximum performance, the new ULISSE2 PTZ offers complete management of all IP ONVIF-S third-party cameras, both visible and thermal imaging, with direct access via a browser to the camera’s interface for setup and diagnostics, as a single IP address.

The full-IP connectivity, with ONVIF-S protocol, allows you to control P&T positioning plus all camera functions, including the wiper, washer pump, presets, illuminators activation and setup through the network using the most popular VMS on the market.

ULISSE2 offers 60 Mbit/s video streaming for 4K cameras.

ULISSE2 is the most robust and reliable outdoor PTZ system on the market, having successfully passed stringent quality tests and shown an unbeatable operational range, even in the harshest conditions.

The  state-of-the-art  technology used for ULISSE2’s development has allowed certain characteristics of the system to be enhanced, such as the unrivalled temperature range of -40°C (-40°F) to +65°C (+149°F). The demisting and temperature control functions are always active, thus preventing condensation and guaranteeing an ideal operating temperature range for the camera. For extreme environmental conditions there is also the added option of temperature controlled, self-heating, de-icing glass. ULISSE2 is quieter and more fluid in its movement, with unmatched positioning accuracy.

The new, intelligent LED lights management means that they can even be fitted post-PTZ installation, with any power supply and without the need for additional power sources.

The efficient automatic self-test rapidly detects the state of the system and all reported events are stored in the internal log. A complete system backup is possible via a designated Micro SD slot.

Improved accessibility to connections means that wiring and diagnostics can be carried out quickly and easily, without having to dismantle the product. ULISSE2 can be put together in its entirety using a single hex key (supplied).

    • 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.
