SightLogix demonstrates accurate, cost-effective video security for perimeters

The 2012 ASIS show was an opportunity for SightLogix to meet with customers and partners, to discuss ongoing perimeter security projects and expansion of current deployments, and to demonstrate the SightLogix system’s accuracy and lower costs as powerful drivers for the solution’s growing adoption.

At the show, SightLogix presented their automated outdoor thermal video analytics system, spotlighting its superior performance around waterside applications such as bridges and ports, making affordable security available for a broader range of customers. There was also information about a new integration between the SightTracker auto-steering PTZ controller and Pelco PTZ cameras.

Critical infrastructure facilities located in waterside environments create some of the toughest challenges for automated intrusion detection. SightLogix' solutions have proven their functionality in these environments, providing superior detection accuracy at a price commensurate with less capable solutions. SightLogix systems can detect intruders despite background water movement or reflections, making them a uniquely capable solution for waterside assets.

Recent SightLogix installations demonstrate the value of SightLogix thermal analytics in waterside applications, including several bridges across the Hudson River which together serve more than 1 million Hudson River crossings each week. Other customers using SightLogix thermal analytics solutions include the Port of Jacksonville (FL), the Alabama Port Authority, Port of Brownsville (TX), Houston Ship Channel, Virginia Port Authority, Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and the Merrimac Bridge Tunnel.

In addition, SightLogix offers the SightTracker pan-tilt-zoom controller, which automatically positions PTZ cameras to zoom and follow detected targets. A new integration between SightTracker and Pelco Spectra and Esprit cameras enables Pelco customers to benefit from hands-free PTZ tracking to assess intrusions over outdoor areas and site perimeters.

Additional system solutions from SightLogix discussed at ASIS included the Video Security Trailer (VST), a self-contained rapidly deployable perimeter security solution for temporary or long-term surveillance applications, and SightMonitor target mapping and configuration software which overlays camera positions, detected alarms and locations, and camera fields-of-view onto a geo-positioned aerial map of the surveillance area to provide users complete situational awareness. The open-architecture systems work seamlessly with approximately 30 technology partners, including many video management, access control and physical security information management (PSIM) systems who also exhibited at ASIS.
