– Leading the security industry with end-to-end IP High-Definition systems, Pelco is pleased to announce many new additions to its product line that will be featured at the upcoming ISC West 2010 show in Las Vegas. As the security industry moves toward HD, this year Pelco is showcasing its innovation in High Definition with a dedicated HD presence in its booth. The following are among the new products slated for display at the show (Pelco booth No. 14041).

High Definition Cameras and Dome Systems

Pelco has taken its industry-leading Spectra PTZ dome into the world of high definition. When the best possible
quality image is your number one priority, Spectra HD delivers crystal-clear images via IP for live streaming to a
standard Web browser (Microsoft ® Internet Explorer or FireFox ®), Endura, DS or other HD Video Management
System. The dome features open architecture connectivity for third-party software recording solutions allowing
you to integrate Spectra HD into virtually any IP-based HD system.

Setting a new standard of performance and usability for fixed HD dome systems, the new Pelco Sarix ID Series

The new update offers increased camera performance on extended platform models to 1080p 30 images a second with H.264 compression. It also offers additional features for all Sarix-based cameras including motion detection and advanced image sharpening. Users can also now run simultaneous analytics without having to lower resolution or images per second.

Raytec IR Wins Race for 2010 Winter Olympics

Following extensive testing of their latest generation RAYMAX Infra-Red illuminators, Raytec have been chosen to help protect the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver, Canada.
The Integrated Security Unit which is responsible for all security at the Olympics selected the Raytec IR units over competing products because they give the best possible night-time images around all the venues.

Among other applications, they will be used to provide high quality illumination at the site perimeters throughout the 17 day Olympic and 10 day Paralympic Games.
“Throughout the rigorous testing undertaken by the client, the RAYMAX illuminators were clear winners because of their even coverage and performance to the distances required,” says Paolo Polano of Raytec’s Canadian office.

The newly built Whistler Olympic Park includes four outdoor venues plus over 50km of trails and is playing host to many prestigious events including ski-jumping, cross country skiing and biathlon.
Among the priorities of the security planners, in addition to time and budgetary constraints, was the determination to have as small an environmental impact as possible.

Raytec’s RAYMAX Infra-Red illuminators score highly on all counts. Over a number of years Raytec has led the industry in maximising energy-efficiency and reducing waste.
As well as consuming significantly less power than traditional CCTV and security lights, Raytec’s RAYMAX and RAYLUX illuminators deliver the benefits of low running costs, zero maintenance and longer product life.

In addition, the use of Infra-Red in the Whistler Olympic Park means that the highest quality CCTV monitoring is possible without any unnecessary light pollution. Because the Infra-Red light from the RAYMAX IR units is not visible to the human eye they have been deployed in environmentally sensitive locations worldwide.

They are also tough enough to function perfectly in challenging temperatures and weather conditions. “Raytec illuminators operate efficiently and reliably in all environments,” adds Paolo Polano. “In short, these are proven, robust units that are ideal for the most demanding applications.”

Dortronics Systems Inc. introduce the 4700 Series Economical Mantrap Controller.

The 4700 series PLC door interlock controller provides an economical mantrap solution, factory programmed to allow only one door, in any defined area, to be unsecured at a time.

Simultaneous requests for access or requests for access while another door is unsecured are denied to maintain the highest level of control. It’s also compatible with any access control system.
