Motorola Solutions unveils new Pelco security line

Motorola Solutions announced the new Pelco, an innovative portfolio of artificial-intelligence-powered devices that are purpose-built for enterprises operating in some of the most challenging environments, like oil and gas and ports. 

Backed by the company’s deep engineering expertise and significant investments in research and development.

Smart surveillance

The portfolio brings together specialised security technologies from the strategic acquisitions of VideotecPelco’s device lineup features fixed cameras, ruggedised and long-range cameras, smart sensors and AI analytics that easily integrate with a broad set of third-party video management systems (VMS).

Since acquiring Pelco in 2020, Motorola Solutions has completely transformed the camera line, which has more than doubled in breadth since the company brought engineering and design in-house. 

Under a contemporary new Pelco mark, the portfolio brings together specialised security technologies from the strategic acquisitions of Videotec, IP Video and Silent Sentinel. 

Advanced threat detection

“Pelco provides security operators with robust AI-powered security solutions capable of performing across a wide range of environmental conditions,” said Hamish Dobson, corporate vice president, Pelco. 

“We’ve purposefully created Pelco to combine rugged hardware, state-of-the-art sensing and AI-powered analytics for a VMS-agnostic device portfolio that is driving higher standards in critical infrastructure security.”

Expanding security solutions

Expansions to the portfolio broaden growth opportunities with enterprises and critical infrastructure verticals like transportation, aviation, maritime and utilities. Such operations routinely endure extreme weather, corrosive elements and other hazardous conditions where standard security cameras and devices would quickly be damaged. 

Precision in protection

Pelco’s new specialised portfolio includes: 

• Esprit Anti-Corrosion cameras that can withstand the harsh elements of maritime environments.
• The ExSite Enhanced Thermal 2 fixed camera, which gives hazardous sites like power plants a thermal imaging security camera with global explosion-proof certifications.
• The Halo Smart Sensor, an all-in-one intelligent sensor that protects privacy while detecting events like vaping, gunshots, abnormal noises, motion and emergency keywords like “help.”
• The Aeron and Jaegar cameras, which offer detection capabilities at distances of up to 20 miles in extreme environments associated with military, aviation, maritime and critical infrastructure.

All Pelco devices are supported by Elevate, a cloud-based camera support platform. Elevate assesses camera health and expands the sensing capabilities of the camera with cloud-based AI.

Future-ready surveillance

Pelco devices are engineered to be compatible with Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) -conformant systems, simplifying installation, enabling flexible integrations and alleviating costly system overhauls. 

Pelco IP cameras enable regulatory compliance with the current National Defense Authorisation Act (NDAA) Sec. 889 rules for the procurement of secure equipment. Experience the new Pelco at booth #14059 at ISC West from April 2-4 in Las Vegas.
