Pelco by Schneider Electric presents its new Sarix Enhanced range with integrated video analysis

With new features, such as 24x7 network video surveillance and on-device video analytics generation, Pelco by Schneider Electric has announced the availability of its new Sarix Enhanced range with SureVision 2.0.

The manufacturer of video surveillance systems Pelco by Schneider Electric has added new functions to its Enhanced line, comprising high-end Sarix IP fixed cameras (including Professional and Value series), as network video surveillance 24×7, on-device video analytics integration and Onvif Profile G compliance.

As Herve Fages explained, vice president of the video division of Pelco by Schneider Electric, “Last year we completely redesigned our IP cameras and now offer more than a hundred different models of devices, that place the Sarix range with the most ambitious and innovative systems in the entire history of Pelco. “We added new features to the Sarix Enhanced line to meet the needs of our customers in the face of network video security challenges.”.

One of the most notable features is the integration of video analysis software on the devices, that uses intelligent algorithms to monitor various critical scenarios and environments continuously and without the risk that comes with human error, even in difficult lighting conditions.

All Sarix Enhanced cameras with firmware version 2.1 or later include eight intelligent video analytics. These tools identify potential threats captured on camera and send an alarm to notify system operators of anomalous activity., facilitating decision making.

These devices use an advanced storage system to record videos, audio and metadata on an SD card, directly on camera, and offer uninterrupted video surveillance, even if connection to the VMS is lost. This enhanced functionality allows any Onvif Profile G compliant VMS to recover lost videos when the network connection is restored, which is of vital importance in critical environments, like an airport, where advanced storage is a critical part of the strategic backup plan.

Other advantages of Sarix Enhanced cameras, in their interior models, exterior, houses, box type and anti-vandal, is the incorporation of SureVision technology 2.0, offering advanced capabilities even in low lighting conditions, advanced dynamic range (WDR) and high anti-glare image quality through 3D noise filtering, that responds to light changes and improves tone mapping to maintain color accuracy and overall image contrast.

These devices offer up to two Full HD videos (1.080p a 30 ips) with H.264 compression to optimize bandwidth and storage efficiency, as well as two independently configurable simultaneous video streams for critical applications, as in casinos and urban video surveillance.

As far as mission-critical applications are concerned, These cameras offer uninterrupted operation and fault tolerance, with operating temperatures ranging from -40º to +50ºC to work in extreme weather conditions, like the desert and the arctic. Dome models include IP66 rating (with dust and water protection), to be mounted on the ceiling and allow impacts of up to 50J vandal-resistant.

All new Sarix Enhanged cameras integrate with third-party video management systems through the Pelco API and with third-party software using Onvif S and G protocols..
