Pelco has developed a new imaging and color technology platform, known as Sarix. This powerful color and imaging technology delivers advanced lowlight capabilities in megapixel-class imaging, H.264 compression, innovative features like Auto Back Focus (ABF) and a flexible platform to adapt for additional processing power.

In addition to amazing image and color quality, the Sarix technologies are evident in a completely new Pelco camera industrial design, where the goals of improved aesthetics and ease of installation are paramount.

“We developed the technology and the features that customers need today, and a platform that will allow us to efficiently provide even more solutions in the future,” says Sara Scroggins, Pelco Product Marketing Manager. “Designed exclusively by Pelco Engineering, the Sarix platform was created for security and IT professionals, by the world leader in video and security systems.”

“In our design cycles, we listened when our customers told us that they need solutions with an open-architecture,” says Scroggins, “Our intent is to provide full connectivity to the camera, and analytics through an open API.”

Pelco dedicated their efforts to the development of innovative technology for network cameras that not only addressed, but resolved, many of the issues that industry professionals are presently experiencing.

Both High-Definition (HD) resolution and Standard-Definition (SD) resolution Sarix-based Mega-Performance Network Cameras deliver greater and more-detailed recognition of objects near or far. Sarix sets the new standard for low-light performance and sensitivity. Furthermore, Pelco has deployed color science techniques that allow the company to deliver consistent detailed color across all levels of camera products that deploy the Sarix platform. This consistency provides precise color reproduction in the entire installation regardless of the camera choice and allows for accurate subject tracking throughout the system.

Sarix technology delivers H.264 compression for optimized image quality, along with the flexibility to also use MJPEG or MPEG 4 compression to meet system requirements. A use of higher performance processing results in high frame rate options and real-time images. This additional processing power also unlocks the ability for options that include on-board use of analytics with no compromise in the video performance. Every camera in the Sarix line has one analytic behavior available for free, with additional analytic suites available as options.

Pelco’s new camera design incorporates a number of innovative features and will be a large part of future offerings. With Auto Back Focus (ABF), advanced network camera setup options, local service jack for ease of setup, and standard Power over Ethernet (PoE), Sarix-based Mega-Performance Network Cameras are exceptionally easy to install and easy to focus. This new camera design also complements contemporary and classic building architecture, and features a modern, aesthetically pleasing design.
