Hands-Free Control for Target Assessment

SightLogix Inc. announced that the SightTracker pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera controller has been integrated with Pelco Spectra and Esprit cameras to automatically zoom and follow detected targets. SightLogix and Pelco customers can benefit from hands-free PTZ tracking to assess intrusions over outdoor areas and site perimeters. The SightTracker solves the challenge of an operator trying to manually locate a target outdoors using a PTZ camera. SightTracker automatically pans and zooms PTZ cameras to follow detected targets without any human intervention. This also solves the latency problem of controlling PTZ cameras over a network or from distant locations. Detected targets are visually displayed on the customer’s VMS, while the target’s location is presented on the SightMonitor map or a PSIM system.
