Letter From Hervé Fages
Pelco Customer Satisfaction at a Five-Year High
I
’m very pleased — but not surprised — to report that
Pelco™ by Schneider Electric™ recently achieved an excellent
milestone within our quarterly Customer Net Promoter Score
(CNPS). For Quarter One 2014, we reached a five-year high
in our CNPS customer satisfaction score with 97% of Pelco
customers reporting that they are “Extremely Satisfied” and
“Very Satisfied”. Congratulations to all. This is great news!
Because of the value we place in employee empowerment
and involvement, Pelco has always been able to provide a very
unique and personal level of service for our customers, and
this is as true now as ever before. Not only do we continue to
empower and support employees to do whatever it takes to make
the customer happy, we also now have excellent informationsharing systems and many online support tools and services
in place to ensure that all our customers receive the highest
level of support available — and they have taken notice.
Being IP driven and customer focused is a reality reflecting
our successful migration from analog to IP, as well as our extreme
focus on the customer. Over the past several years, we have made
immeasurable advances to our product and services offering, and
the rewards of that work are coming to fruition. Understandably,
we must continue to prove this through our actions, not our words,
but I’m confident that our team will always deliver the cradle-to­
grave support that Pelco customers (and their customers) expect.
As for the product side of our business, I’m equally proud
to report that we made a great showing at ISC West earlier this
year. I’d have to say that it was the showing of our new IP cloudbased recording solution that created the most excitement.

“I WON
THE RACE
AGAINST
CANCER…
BUT I AM
STILL
RUNNING”
A TRUE INSPIRATION
COMPLETING A MARATHON OR MAJOR
RACE BRINGS UP A RANGE OF EMOTIONS
FOR ALL RUNNERS. BUT FOR SAMUEL
CHETTIAR, JUST BEING ABLE TO
STAND ON THE STARTING LINE OF THE
SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC PARIS MARATHON
WAS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT IN ITSELF.
MWIA-9HXGV3
In 2008, Chettiar was diagnosed with a stage-4 cancer
called Hodgkin's Lymphoma, originating from a dysfunction
of the white blood cells. Facing this very serious illness, near
unbearable pain, and the huge shock, Chettiar decided
to fight and began his 12 chemotherapy sessions. After
a six-month battle, the disease went into remission.

The India Product Manager for Pelco™ by Schneider Electric™
said that he then went back to normal life, but did gain a lot of
weight. “After what I had been through, I decided I just wanted
to enjoy the time with my family and relatives,” he said, “and I
progressively moved to a sedentary life, eating what I wanted,
when I wanted and without exercising.” Chettiar hit a breaking
point when one day he realized he could not bend to tie his
shoelaces. “I understood I could not continue this way, that I did
Pelco Press Summer 2014
not fight a serious illness to
deteriorate my health like
that afterwards,” he said.
In February 2013, Chettiar was
introduced to road running by
one of his colleagues who he
saw running every morning on
his way to work. “The first runs
were very difficult; I could not
run more than two kilometers,”
he said. “But I held on it.”
A few weeks later, Chettiar ran
his first 10k, and in May 2013,
he was one of the few stage-4
cancer survivors in India to
run a half marathon. With the
goal of running a marathon
on each continent, Chettiar
was on the starting line of
the 2014 Schneider Electric
Paris Marathon in early April.
But crossing the finishing line
in Paris is not his only goal.
“I hope my story will give hope
and encourage all runners and
all people within Schneider
Electric to go beyond their own
limits,” he said, “I am existing
proof that if you are dreaming
of something, you can reach it
if you put passion and strength
in it. People often believe that
after a battle against cancer,
your body is too weak to bear
activities such as a marathon
— but this is not true, and if I
can do it, everybody can do it.”
He also wants to use this
opportunity to raise awareness
of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and
funds for non-governmental
organizations that are working
to improve people’s lives: “I
ran the Schneider Electric
Paris Marathon for the 'LOVE,
JOY and HOPE' foundation,
dedicated to working with
children, families, and their
communities to help them
reach their full potential
by tackling the causes of
poverty and injustice.”

CASE STUDY: SARIX THERMAL
Thermal Imaging Technology for
Unprecedented Port Security
MWIA-9HXGSL
Millions of tons of cargo. Billions of dollars in goods. The activity of a small
city with miles of perimeter fencing, uneven infrastructure, blind spots,
and ever-changing weather conditions. Port security is no small task, yet
increasingly, security operators are asked to assume more responsibilities
with static, if not shrinking, budgets. As drivers of a global economy, the
demands placed on port security continue to grow and with them, the
challenges and complexity increase exponentially.

Pelco Press Summer 2014
“
It’s exciting to bring technology that was once
limited to high-end military applications to
mainstream video security.
“
Leveraging Existing Infrastructure
The Thermal Advantage
Unlike traditional retail, commercial, and many industrial
applications, ports present unique security issues that
must be anticipated and addressed. Typically, high-security
installations rely on a variety of solutions, including video
security and surveillance. The combination of legacy analog and
more modern IP-based video cameras, recording and video
management systems, PSIM, analytics, and more provide a
digital extension of security personnel.
Once restricted to the military due to prohibitive cost, thermal
imaging is an increasingly relied upon technology for an evergrowing array of security — as well as process and operations
management — applications. As price points have dropped,
integration of thermal technology into today’s video security
and surveillance camera systems has become more prevalent,
providing a wealth of information and functionality previously
unavailable.
Port security, however, is anything but typical. From miles
of unguarded, unlit perimeters to ever-changing lighting and
weather conditions, traditional video security has a difficult time
providing the comprehensive intelligence demanded by such a
high-security facility.
As David Dorn, applied technology engineer manager at
Pelco™ by Schneider Electric™ said, “Due to significant
improvements in fabrication technologies, we are seeing dramatic
price reductions in those thermal imaging core components
[image sensors and lenses] necessary to build thermal cameras.
In the last 18 months, for
example, we have seen a
2x cost factor reduction
in the image sensors
themselves. This means
that thermal technology
is no longer confined to
high-end military and
government applications.”
Because many
applications that rely
on video security are
challenged by a number
of external, uncontrollable
factors, including ambient
light and weather, thermal
imaging has cemented its position as a must-have technology to
detect and observe the persons and vehicles on and near a facility
— information necessary to make immediate, informed decisions.
Pelco Press Summer 2014

CASE STUDY: SARIX THERMAL
How it Works
Whereas a visible-light camera uses light reflected off objects
to build an image, thermal imaging cameras capture an object’s
emitted heat to provide a high-contrast image — eliminating the
need for any light source.
Using special materials like Germanium that transmit thermal
energy, lenses focus a thermal image onto a thermal image sensor.
Microbolometers, the sensors used to create a thermal image,
feature either Vanadium Oxide or Amorphous Silicon coatings on
a silicon wafer. “Similar to CCD or CMOS imagers in visible-light
cameras, the microbolometer has an array of pixels with each pixel
receiving heat energy proportional to the heat energy present in the
scene at that point,” Dorn said.
“Because today's advanced thermal
cameras can detect even minute
differences in temperature, visual
information that was never before
available is now at a security
operator's fingertips.”
The thermal contrast among objects in low-light and no-light
conditions provides the information necessary to quickly make
informed decisions — information that standard visible light
cameras cannot deliver. And thanks to this technology, thermal
imaging is also a powerful tool for applications beyond security
— providing the capabilities to spot leaks, ruptures, or hot spots
across bridges, dams, refineries, and power plants.
For many security applications, the ability to detect if a person
or vehicle has entered the scene is critical. Thermal excels in this
regard since the temperature of a person or vehicle is typically quite
different than the background temperature of the scene. This makes
people and vehicles easy to detect in thermal images, even from
very long ranges. The ability to accurately and reliably detect people
and vehicles is also very useful for video analytics.
10 |
Pelco Press Summer 2014
Even in complete darkness or in areas obscured by fog, foliage,
or other obscurants, thermal cameras alert security personnel to
potential threats that may not be captured by a standard visible light
camera. And this is nowhere more important than port applications,
where security personnel are faced with a variety of challenges,
from distant, poorly lit perimeters to unguarded waterfront access.
Thermal imaging is quickly becoming a common, tried, and trusted
technology, independent of or complementary to visible light
cameras, to ensure 24-hour protection.
Lower Installation and Operating Costs
Interestingly, although thermal cameras still typically cost more
per unit than a traditional visible camera, deployment of a thermal
imaging solution in a port environment can be much more cost
effective than traditional video. For one, thermal cameras have
longer detection ranges, necessitating the use of fewer units,
overall. Additionally, because thermal cameras do not need lighting,
their use can eliminate the need for installation of light poles
and their associated infrastructure. Finally, with operating costs
continually under pressure, thermal cameras are attractive because
they can eliminate the ongoing electrical costs of powering lights for
security every night of the year.
Video Analytics
A major advantage of thermal imaging is in its ability to deliver
high-contrast images in the most challenging lighting conditions.
Since thermal imaging uses heat from objects to form its image,
no illumination source is needed. This means that thermal imaging
works equally well in all lighting conditions — day or night under
normal light, low light, or even no light conditions.
Importantly, thermal cameras provide an optimal platform for the
use of video analytics. Since visible-light cameras are dependent
upon reflected light, image quality and accuracy can degrade
throughout a 24-hour period due to shadows, inconsistent
lighting, glare, and other lighting effects over which neither security
operators nor technology have control. But since thermal cameras
Sarix TI: The Premier Thermal Imaging
Camera System
Sarix™ TI is the first thermal camera specifically designed to be an integrated
part of any end-to-end video security solution. Completely operable with both
Pelco and third-party video management and recording systems, Sarix TI is
quite simply, the evolution of thermal imaging. Available in both IP, analog, fixed,
and pan/tilt models, Sarix TI is as easy to install and use as any traditional
dome camera. Bringing an all-digital design with advanced thermal imaging
capabilities to mainstream video security applications, the result is an affordable
camera system that delivers high-quality video, as well as the power and
flexibility that only comes with thermal imaging technology.

capture an object’s thermal emission, it ignores common light
conditions (whether too little or too much), which challenge traditional
video analytics. The high-contrast image enables the predictable use
of analytics with extremely low false-alarm rates at all hours of the
day.
Thermal cameras, especially those with built-in, integrated analytics,
enhance the flexibility and performance of any security system. The
ability of thermal imaging to immediately detect threats — typically
before even the human observer — coupled with the automatic
notification of suspicious activity, makes you more prepared than
ever to keep their property secure.
A popular example of such a deployment is virtual fencing and
automated perimeter security, taking advantage of “trip wire” and
other behavioral analytics. A thermal camera looking down a fence
line with a virtual trip wire, people-detection analytic employed, will
give a very accurate alarm if someone crosses the fence line over
a long distance, day or night, under any lighting conditions. This
“thermal fence” solution is much more accurate and cost effective
than existing visible camera solutions, traditional deployments of
microwave detectors, and even existing motion/perimeter proximity
sensors.
“The ability to deploy thermal with
analytics in such a cost-effective
fashion opens up many new
applications for this technology,” Dorn said.
“It’s exciting to bring technology that was once limited to high-end
military applications to mainstream video security.” PP

Mission 500 as Flagship Charity
12 |
Pelco Press Summer 2014
The security industry in general, and Pelco™ by
Schneider Electric™ in particular, has a long history
of protecting and saving lives, as well as a list of
heroic achievements for the communities in which
we live. For us, community partnership and civic
engagement have always been a driving force
of our culture. From our September 11 Memorial
and annual observance to Toys for Tots, Special
Education Kids Day, scholarship programs and
more, Pelco is committed to using our global
footprint to help the lives of others.
And now, we are proud to announce that Mission 500, a nonprofit
organization in partnership with World Vision, is our new flagship
charity. Dedicated to helping children and communities in crisis,
in just the last six years alone, the security industry has donated
more than $1 million in cash and in-kind contributions to meet
the vital needs of some of the most disadvantaged children in the
world. And recently, the organization reached its namesake goal
through the sponsorship of 500 children.
Experience: Kisongo Trek — a multimedia journey into the heart
of an African village. The 1,000-square-foot interactive exhibit
recreates the experience of a donor or child sponsor who heads
to Africa to see how their contribution is creating real and lasting
change for children and families in need. During the visit, Pelco
employees and visitors worked together to build over 1,000 refill
kits, which included much-needed school supplies for local-area
children.
Mission 500 continues to strengthen its position in the security
industry as the “charity of choice,” while significantly increasing
the number of sponsored children. As part of this plan, Mission
500 created advisory and executive boards composed of
strong teams of security industry leaders. They include two
representatives from Pelco: Herve Fages, senior vice president,
Video Line of Business, serves on the Advisory Board, and
Jenna Wardle, director, Regional Marketing, North America
Sales, serves on the Executive Board Marketing Committee.
“We are honored to work with an organization like World Vision
and support Mission 500 in hosting the Kisongo Experience,
which gives our employees and community the opportunity to
see how organizations like this are helping families in need,”
Fages said.
“Throughout the year, Pelco looks for opportunities to
incorporate Mission 500 into both internal and external events
to raise awareness and funds for this important charity,” said
Wardle. “We have brought the Kisongo Trek experience to our
headquarters and have participated in a number of activities
so that our employees, customers, and the industry in general
understand the great work that World Vision and Mission 500
do day in, day out.”
Here are Some of the Ways Pelco Works With
Mission 500
Kisongo Trek
Last fall, Pelco hosted the “Kisongo Experience” at our Clovis,
Calif. campus. The World Vision Kisongo Experience is housed
inside a high-tech expandable semi-truck, which virtually
“transports” visitors to Tanzania. More than 30,000 visitors have
already been through the free, family-friendly, new World Vision
World-Wide Sales Meeting
Support for Mission 500 has also become integrated into Pelco
events. In January, during our annual World Wide Sales Meeting,
teams from around the globe kicked off the year by building 500
backpacks full of supplies for Mission 500 sponsor children.
ISC West
Mission 500 had a large footprint at ISC West. In the Pelco
booth itself, through a simple spin of the wheel, customers were
able to win a donation of food, money, and farm animals to
impoverished villages.
Be A Part of Mission 500
By supporting Mission 500, you can join the legions of security
professionals who are donating their time and resources to help
improve the lives of children around the world. Just $35 a month
provides food, education, and healthcare services to a child in
need. A small investment in our collective future. Together with
Mission 500 we can make a difference. Find out how you can
help by emailing at pr@mission500.org, or by calling George

Pelco Press Summer 2014
Without efficient tools for answering such questions, many must
go unanswered.
Until now.
Introducing MultiSight™ Video Service
MultiSight is a game-changing video service designed specifically
for multi-site retailers, convenience stores, and restaurants.
“We began development with months of customer research, and
found that many retailers were attempting to use their security
systems to perform ‘operational’ functions within their businesses,”
says Greg Millar, chief technology officer and senior vice president
of Schneider Electric’s Video Line of Business. “We decided to
include those functions in MultiSight from the beginning, building
a video service tailored to the unmet needs of retailers.”
You’re running a retail business, with multiple
stores spread across hundreds of miles and a
number of states. You have a security system with
cameras, and alarms, and motion sensors. But
what about the actual operation of your business?
In a company with hundreds or even thousands of
locations, how do you monitor customer service and
employee performance day-in and day-out?
Even with a well-executed store auditing program, you and your
managers simply cannot be everywhere, all the time. And, as a
result, things may be happening that shouldn’t be:
• Did all of your stores open on time? Did any close early?
• Are your employees preparing food correctly and safely,
greeting customers promptly, and keeping the store clean
and organized?
• Is marketing material displayed correctly, or not at all?
• Which locations are extra busy? And which ones aren’t busy,
and why?
• Are managers following proper cash-handling procedures?
• What was the source of the inventory shortage in this location?
Operational questions like these are almost impossible to
answer using the tools currently available to multi-site managers.
Other questions can be answered, but only by investing significant
time, effort, and maybe even a trip to the store to locate and
retrieve the video.
MultiSight is a complete solution — the high-definition cameras,
gateway, apps, and cloud-based services are designed to
work together and are all included in the price of the service.
And the service is completely optimized for mobile viewing.
Imagine being able to see directly into any store, any time,
from anywhere — your office, at an airport, or stopping to
get your morning coffee. Imagine having instant access
to what’s going on right now, and what went on last night
during a busy shift, just with the swipe of a finger.
This is the vision of MultiSight.

marketing, human resources. The more users you add, the
more value you will see from the system. And user management
is easy through our Web-based administration tool.
Easy to use – Designed for mobile access from the outset,
MultiSight delivers high-quality video through an intuitive, userfriendly interface. Training time is minimized — which is key, in the
high turnover environment of retail and quick-service restaurants.
Even better, this is a system managers actually want to use.
Views – Check on the same view (i.e., front
door, back office) across all of your locations, for super-fast operational spot checks.
Shifts – To facilitate quick reviews of
periods, create shifts — predefined time
ranges (i.e., opening, lunch rush) to save
you the trouble of entering the start and
end times each time you review.
Easy to share video – We make it easy to create clips and
share them, both within your organization and with outside
agencies (i.e., insurance, law enforcement). Use the mobile
app to quickly mark a clip, then send an email with a link to
the video. All shared video is retained in the cloud for a year.
IT-friendly – MultiSight requires no special network
configuration. And the video is designed to stream without
slowing down or disrupting network traffic — crucial
for keeping business-critical transactions flowing.
No worries about downtime – MultiSight’s support
team monitors your system’s health, as part of your
monthly service. When an incident occurs you can
rest easy knowing that the video will be available.
Low-energy – In retail, every penny counts. Our
cameras and gateway require about 25 percent
of the energy of a typical security system.

MWIA-9HRK7G
Thank you very much for sending Garth Hubbard to
us! He checked many things that no one else had
previously checked, and he figured out the issues. I’m
extremely grateful for your assistance. Replacing those
competitor boxes with actual Pelco equipment will go a
long way to making the customer happy. I am very glad
that we have you, Andrew Strong and Garth, now to
contact should we have questions in the future. I would
also like to get my guys into a more advanced training
class if you have something available for contractors.
I don’t like to install equipment that we cannot fully
support or where we have to “wing it” every time there
is an issue. Let me know. Again, THANK YOU, THANK
YOU, THANK YOU for your help!!
Problems Solved
I would like to express my appreciation for the hard
work and diligence shown by members of your staff,
especially Jose Perez. In the beginning of April we
purchased 10 of Pelco’s new IMP cameras; after
installation we began having issues. Opening a service
request and receiving immediate technical support
from your staff really helped avoid having to remove
those cameras until a solution could be found. Not
satisfied with a simple software patch, Jose and
two other members of Pelco ventured to the great
Northwest to verify the problem was corrected. During
their visit they witnessed first-hand other problems
we were encountering. Satisfied they understood
our issues, Jose and team returned to Clovis with
data necessary to correct the new issues. Their
relentlessness to resolve these issues has renewed
my faith in Pelco customer service. Please extend my
appreciation to Jose and all your product support staff.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: ETHERNET OVER COAX
Connect With Powerful
Ethernet Over Coax Solution
The Pelco™ by Schneider Electric EthernetConnect™ Ethernet over coax (EoC) solution allows
customers to use existing coax or UTP/Cat5 infrastructure for IP data runs of up to 5,000 feet —
with PoE+ power injection or pass-through PoE over both medias. Having the ability to connect
directly to a PoE+ source power, these devices can also effectively become PoE midspans, saving
critical space in racks and other mountings, which can be critical for video installations.
Leveraging Existing Infrastructure
The EthernetConnect system has two primary uses. First
is to be able to leverage existing infrastructure for a retrofit.
This is important when an installer can’t remove an existing
system and can’t install new cabling. EthernetConnectvc
makes it easy to place media converters on either end and
utilize the existing coaxial analog system for IP video.
Extending Your Total Reach
The second primary use has to do with extending the IP
signal past the Cat5, 100-meter limitation, and still be able
to provide power up to the media. The EthernetConnect
system allows all of this to happen in a cost-effective manner.
And because fiber cannot pass power, many installers are
replacing fiber with Cat5 extension in new installations.
Guaranteed Video Security Performance
MWIA-9HRKA7
By providing an entire mix of transmission solutions, we can test,
certify, and guarantee compatibility across all platforms, and we
can make sure the systems are robust enough for 24/7 video
use. Beyond that, since we control the technologies within our
transmission strategy, we can integrate these technologies closer
and closer to the camera system. And in some cases, include
it in the camera — once again adding to the confidence level
that our systems are tested and guaranteed to interoperate.

Pelco Press Summer 2014
The EthernetConnect Series supports up to 16 channels of
10/100 Mbps Ethernet with PoE+ power injection or pass
through PoE over coax or twisted pair cable (Cat5 or above).
Having the ability to connect directly to a PoE+ source (midspan
or switch) and to generate PoE+ power with a 48-volt input at
either the master or remote end, the EthernetConnect Series
provides ultimate flexibility for extending powered or nonpowered IP cameras over long-distance copper wire types.
Pelco transmission systems are engineered and tested to
support all of the necessary media protocols for video security
transmission compatibility and operation, and the technologies
are applied with compatibility in mind. Our power systems
meet the appropriate range of power requirements for video
systems, and we have cross-tested all our systems with each
other, assuring optimum performance for all systems. This not
only makes our systems easy to quote, easy to install, and very

CASE STUDY
Pelco IP Cameras
IMPROVE SECURITY AND EFFICIENCY AT
BRAZILIAN CUSTOMS PROCESSING FIRM
22 |
Pelco Press Summer 2014
The Port of Pecém is one of two large ports in the state of Ceará, in northeast Brazil. Its position on
the Atlantic coast made it the ideal location for Brazil’s first Export Processing Zone, which opened
in 2012 and is now protected by a comprehensive security solution that includes hundreds of Sarix™ IX
Series and Spectra™ IV IP cameras from Pelco™ by Schneider Electric™.
The Export Processing Zone of Pecém (ZPE Pecém) is a free-trade area where companies focused on the production of goods to be
exported can benefit from government incentives. The area sees a tremendous amount of vehicle and cargo traffic, which must be
inspected at the customs clearance area before it is allowed entry.
With so much cargo coming in and out, there were both processing and security challenges. Additionally, theft had become a major
concern, since no comprehensive security system was in place.
The Solution
The Results
The management division of the Export Processing Zone of
Pecém SA (ZPE Ceará) sought a solution that would reduce
processing times and make it easy to track trucks in and
out of checkpoints, as well as provide a bird’s eye view of all
secure areas.
ZPE Ceará realized improved efficiency and reduced processing
times with its comprehensive video surveillance solution. Video
analytics and weight scale integration have helped reduce the time
it takes for a truck to pass through a checkpoint from 7.4 minutes
to three minutes.
ZPE Ceará worked with Intelligent Security Systems (ISS),
a leading video management and video-analytic software
company with a history of success with seaports and customs
operations. ISS provided ZPE Ceará with a comprehensive videomanagement and video-analytic system that meets the security
requirements of the Brazilian government.
“We are already seeing a seismic improvement in both processing
times and overall security,” said Marcelo Costa Caldas, technical
director of ZPE Ceará. “We have license plate and container
recognition on every gate. This allows us to reduce the staff
needed at the gates, minimize mistakes, and increase the
throughput of our operations.”
“THE PELCO CAMERAS, TRUE TO THEIR REPUTATION, ARE PROVING
TO BE QUITE RESISTANT TO THE SALT AIR OF THE PORT. THIS IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE OURS — CLOSE
TO THE OCEAN WITH VERY HIGH CORROSION.”
LPR and container-recognition
analytics allow Caldas and his
team to know what trucks are
coming in and when, all the
identifying information about their
cargo, who the driver is, and how
long it takes them to get to their
destination.
– Marcelo Costa Caldas, technical director of ZPE Ceará
Speed Sistemas of Brazil handled the integration of the videomanagement solution and Pelco cameras with several third-party
systems, including Brazil Customs management system, access
control, Southwest Microwave perimeter control, fire, audio, the
Public Safety Department system, and I/O Advantech.
The deployment involved six servers (fully redundant and
virtualized), 200 Pelco IP cameras, 264 third-party cameras,
Web access, 34 channels of license plate recognition (LPR), 36
channels of container recognition (18 side/18 top), and LPR and
container cameras with infrared illuminators. All information is sent
to the Port Authority management system and is readily available
to Brazilian Customs authorities.
Caldas said they can now
monitor the entire perimeter
from their control room and act
instantly if a threat is detected.
Additionally, they now have high-quality video evidence for all
cases that is easy to export and send to long-term archives.
“Both employees and outsiders are now aware of the system we
have in place, which is already having a deterrent effect in relation
to theft,” Caldas said.
Pelco Sarix and Spectra cameras were selected based on their
reliability, image quality, and ability to withstand the corrosive
elements of salt air.
“The Pelco cameras, true to their reputation, are proving to be
quite resistant to the salt air of the port,” Caldas said. “This is
extremely important in an environment like ours — close to the
ocean with very high corrosion.”
ZPE Ceará already plans to expand its system throughout 2014 to
accommodate two new gates, and it’s preparing for 450% growth
in the next five years.

now also has 3D noise filtering, smooth
response to illumination changes, and
improved tone mapping to retain color
accuracy and overall image contrast. This
allows Sarix to automatically deliver the
best possible image in the most complex
and changing lighting conditions — bright
areas, shaded areas, and intense light.
ONVIF Profile G compliant this summer
and the Sarix Professional Range will
be ONVIF Profile G compliant this fall.
The ONVIF Profile G specification sets a

SureVision 2.0 has gotten very positive
reviews from industry experts. When
comparing Sarix Enhanced Range with
SureVision 2.0 against previous versions
of SureVision and against competitors,
SureVision 2.0 excels at WDR performance
and 3 Mpx/1080p low-light performance.
SS&I commended the Sarix Enhanced
Dome on its “excellent video quality” and its
ability to “easily switch from color to black
and white, providing a very good image in
low-light conditions.”
When set to use CVBR, Sarix Enhanced
had some of the lowest bandwidth
consumption at all light levels, and in
some cases it beat out previous leading
competitors, according to IPVM.

Q&A: Next Generation of Sarix Cameras
Q: WHAT IS CVBR? IS IT
AVAILABLE IN BOTH SARIX
ENHANCED AND SARIX
PROFESSIONAL RANGES?
A: Yes, Constrained Variable Bit Rate
(CVBR) is available in both Sarix Enhanced
and Sarix Professional Ranges. CVBR can
be thought of as Variable Bit Recording
(VBR) with a cap. CVBR makes accurately
calculating and managing bandwidth
usage and storage requirements more
predictable, while also ensuring lower
bit rates for less complex scenes. Sarix
Enhanced and Professional Range models
default to CVBR to optimize bandwidth
utilization and storage efficiency. Our
current implementation of CVBR in Sarix
Pro and Enhanced, offers much greater
variability in adjusting bandwidth as a
function of scene complexity, compared to
CVBR in the previous generation of Sarix
cameras. Now, when scene complexity
is lower, bit rates are much lower – using
less bandwidth and less storage. Sarix
Enhanced also supports VBR, and users
can select this if they desire.
Q: HAVE YOU HAD ANY
INDUSTRY FEEDBACK ON
THE SARIX PROFESSIONAL
RANGE YET?
A: The Sarix Professional Range
cameras are currently being reviewed
by industry experts. We have not gotten
their feedback yet. However, there are a
couple of areas where we know that these
cameras differentiate themselves. First, the
Sarix Professional Range cameras have
exceptional image clarity when you zoom
in, especially in the 5 Mpx cameras. These
fine details provide better information for
making decisions in security situations.
Secondly, the adaptive IR feature in
the Sarix Professional Range cameras
provides superb detail, even as objects
approach the camera. Many competing
cameras struggle with using IR as a source
of illumination since it is easy for objects
to become oversaturated and evidentiary
detail to be lost as objects come closer to
the camera.
The wide range of Sarix Professional
products at very competitive price
points is rapidly gaining market attention
and traction.

MWIA-9HSH95
Total Situational Awareness
Technology that captures a 360-degree image is unique.
Technology that enables a user to retrospectively track an
incident back in time is even more unique. This combination
provides customers with total situational awareness.
Pelco Press Summer 2014
| 35
PRODUCT OVERVIEW: 360º CAMERA
In applications that only have traditional cameras, several narrow
field of view (NFOV) cameras and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras
need to be sprinkled throughout the scene, which requires much
higher infrastructure and installation costs because of the number
of cameras required. Furthermore, standard PTZ cameras are
positioned only to cover key areas (such as doors, passages,
sitting areas, counters, etc.) and will only record where the PTZ
is pointing — always leaving a number of blind spots and an
inconclusive evidence trial.
Even though a PTZ can be programmed to respond to an event
trigger, it will arrive at and show video after the event has taken
place. Wouldn’t it be nice to see what happened before the alarm?
One solution is to combine the Evolution™ 360-degree camera
with your NFOV camera and PTZ cameras. When the Evolution
360-degree camera is mounted onto walls it creates a floor-to­
ceiling bubble effect around the area of interest. Any event or
activity, taking place within this bubble, is visible to the camera,
which provides total situational awareness. This “blanket of eyes”
may be replicated by using a number of NFOV cameras and
stitching the video together, but the use of multiple cameras adds
both cost and complexity that a single multi-megapixel 360-degree
camera solves.
clarity, much like a virtual PTZ experience. Contrast this with a
NFOV camera or with a motorized PTZ that only records the spot
where the camera is pointing.
Limitless Possibilities
There really are no limits on how the Evolution 360, coupled with
the best dewarping technology and integrated into the VMS, can
add value. With retrospective dewarping and analysis, customers
have the best forensic tool available on the market today. That
being said, the following customer examples illustrate where
customers are installing 360-degree technology to provide added
value to their business or operation.
Retail
This first example demonstrates where a retail group,
with more than 10,000 retail franchises, is successfully
utilizing Evolution 360-degree cameras to provide
additional marketing and business intelligence.
Customers are using the technology for two main
reasons: First, for situational awareness because
360-degree technology provides the end user with
coverage that has no blind spots and retrospectively
analyzes a scene with speed and accuracy that no
number of traditional cameras could accomplish.
Retrospective Immersive Experience and Client
Side Dewarping
The most efficacious benefit from a fisheye camera comes when
the end user sees a dewarped client viewer that creates a flat,
two-dimensional image, or images, from the original fisheye. If
this is done on the network video recorder (NVR), it provides an
immersive experience similar to a digital or ‘virtual’ PTZ with one
very important exception — users are able to go back in time and
retrospectively review a scene after an event has happened. This
immersive ability gives users a forensic tool to look for evidence
because the fisheye view is recording the entire scene constantly,
and it can be played back thanks to dewarping software, with

Secondly, Evolution 360 cameras provide customers
with marketing intelligence. They are no longer limited
to counting people as they come through the front
door. Instead, with a broader 360-degree view, they
can analyze pathways, count people standing in line,
and calculate shopping time. This is all valuable data to anyone
efficiently running a business and trying to maximize ROI. The ability
to put this intelligence into a report that makes sense and is easy
to work with is a major advantage of analytics, and the ability to
place “eyes” over an entire store has led global interest to grow
exponentially over the last 12 months.
Imagine a store owner or manager sitting at home with his tablet
PC in the evening and being able to access not only the live images
from the store, but view any part of the store at any time in the day
by having access to 360-degree images that he can see as though
he was there. It is tomorrow’s technology today.
Gaming
There are many national and state regulations in the gaming
industry, and to become a critical part of the security solution in
a casino requires a thorough understanding of these laws. The
Evolution 360 can be installed across the gaming floor, integrated
right into the video management system (VMS) and can be used
for forensic purposes. It is, as Ted Whiting, surveillance director
at MGM Resorts International, said, “the best forensic tool ever,”
and has become an integral part of the MGM Aria’s surveillance
operations.
As Whiting explains, the cameras replace traditional surveillance
methods used by some casinos, in which hundreds of pan/tilt/
zoom (PTZ) cameras are deployed, all recording to 16-channel
multiplexers in an attempt to maximize coverage of the casino floor.
The 360-degree cameras record at four frames per second. “That
actually works out well. We couple this technology with what I
call choke-point cameras [for entrances, exits, and other areas],”
Whiting said.
“For us, 360-degree cameras exist for one reason — it’s a chase
camera — but chasing someone in the past. The PTZ is a live
chase camera. Someone is walking through the casino; you follow
them with the PTZ,” he said. “But let’s say they stole somebody’s
iPad yesterday. The 360-degree camera allows me to chase them
through the casino back in time. At some point when we’re chasing
them, they walk through a choke-point camera, and then we get a
perfect ID shot of them.” Not only that, the recorded video from the
360-degree camera allows Whiting and his team to track a criminal
back in time, enabling identification. The two cameras work in
tandem to achieve the common goal — identification.
Whiting said that he believes there are many security professionals
who expected that 360-degree cameras would supplant PTZs. But
that’s not how he sees it evolving. “I would never use a 360-degree
camera for live view,” he said. “It’s a forensic, investigative tool.
And that’s the hardest thing for people to understand.”
City Centers
Ever wonder why some intersections have four, six, or even eight
cameras? It’s because traditionally they’ve needed them to see every
angle or perspective. But 360-degree technology can revolutionize
the way cityscapes are surveyed by providing situational awareness
like never before. With dewarping software integrated into the VMS,
users can create as many views, and have as many controllers—
live or retrospective — as they need. In other words, they are not
limited to the four, six, or eight traditional cameras, or to the four
virtual cameras you get from on-board dewarping.
Ideal Camera Placement
To get the best possible situational awareness, mount the
Evolution 360 in an area that is open and away from obstructions.
Outdoors, 360-degree cameras work well when mounted on the
corners of buildings using a parapet mount. When placed on an
external corner of a building, the camera can see around corners.
When mounted on a light post in a parking lot, the field of view
could be upwards of 300 feet in any direction. When mounted
indoors, the ability for a 360-degree camera to show all four
directions of a cross hallway, or three directions of a “T” hallway,
are superb applications.
One alternative purpose for a 360-degree camera is the ability to
provide a panoramic view in a wall-mounted orientation. With a
panoramic view, two 180-degree views are displayed side by side
to show both directions of a street or hallway with just one camera.
Ceiling-mounted fisheye cameras are strategically positioned in
the center of a scene to maximize the video coverage of large
areas. Since the camera sees a complete 360-degree picture,
100 percent visual coverage with no blind spots is obtained and
can provide a conclusive evidence trail.

SPECIAL MODIFICATION REQUESTS (SMR)
More Choices for Customization Via
Special Modification Requests
For years, Pelco™ by Schneider Electric™ has worked tirelessly to meet the needs of customers,
and that includes customers with unique requirements that demand customized solutions.
The Pelco Special Modification Request (SMR) program is designed to meet such needs, by
adapting our industry-leading products to fit unique applications. In turn, the SMR program
allows Pelco dealers and integrators to deliver powerful differentiated solutions to customers.
“
Users can browse
through our most
popular SMRs and get
ideas for how an SMR
could meet their specific
application challenge.
Explore SMRs Online
”
Increasingly, as customers are pushing IP video into new
applications, the need for the kind of customization available
through the Pelco SMR program is greater than ever. To make
it even easier for customers to explore and utilize SMRs in their
projects, we have recently launched an online SMR Catalog.
MWIA-9HXGW7
“The online catalog gives customers a first-hand look at the
kinds of things we can do through the SMR program,” said
George Blackwell, director of Board of Change and SMR for
Pelco. "Users can browse through our most popular SMRs and
get ideas for how an SMR could meet their specific application
challenge. They can filter by different criteria – by type of
mount, type of enclosure, camera model, or name." Users can
also enter a search term, for example “marine,” and see a list
of SMRs suited for a particular application or environment.
38 |
Pelco Press Summer 2014
While a lot of the interest in
SMRs pertains to mounting
and related hardware, of equal
interest is the opportunity
to paint Pelco products in
a certain color, to match
aesthetic requirement. By
clicking on the Custom Colors
tab of the online catalog,
users can view the list of Pelco
products that can be finished
in a custom color, and then
pick from any of nearly 200
RAL colors or from four Pelco
colors. “An advantage of doing
color match with Pelco is that
we have our own paint booth,
so if a customer calls for it we
can finish an SMR in multiple
colors," Blackwell said.
Whether picking a physical
SMR or a color-match option,
users can then generate
a detailed PDF, including
a description of the SMR,
suggested applications,
warranty information, the
SMR number, and technical
and application notes. They
can share the PDF with
their customers, include it
in bids, and also send to
their Pelco representative
to initiate an order.
“All SMRs start with a
request,” Blackwell said, “and
customers initiate that request
with their Pelco representative.
Even if customers don’t see
exactly what they are looking
for when they browse the
catalog, we encourage them
to contact their representative.
We will work with the reps
to identify the best way to
accommodate a customer’s
specific need.” PP
What’s New in SMRs
“At recent trade shows, customers have shown great interest in new and customized
mounts,” Blackwell said. “Some have expressed a need to mount multiple fixed cameras on
an existing mount, where previously there was a single PTZ. Many others are looking for ways
to mount multiple PTZs and/or fixed cameras on a single arm or pole. We welcome these
kinds of challenges.”
Often, if one customer requires a certain customization, others will benefit from it as well. That
kind of growing need has driven the usefulness of the online catalog, and it’s also driving the
development of new popular SMRs. Let’s take a look at some of the latest SMRs from Pelco:
• Corner mount for Sarix™ IL10 Value Box
Camera: As IP cameras continue to be
installed in more and more places, this
SMR is ideal for deploying IP cameras in
an elevator.
• Stainless surface-mount and pendantmount Sarix IME Domes: This SMR
delivers Pelco’s newest Sarix Enhanced
Range IP Cameras in a stainless steel
body designed for harsh and corrosive
environments.
• Pressurized Spectra™ HD 1080 Pendant:
Similar to familiar pressurized Spectra
analog systems, except now with full
high-definition 1080p imaging, this
SMR provides ultimate protection of
the camera optics and electronics from
moisture, corrosive gases, and airborne
contaminants.
• Smoke Detector Covert Mount: Ideal for
law enforcement and corrections, this SMR
provides a discreet mount for deploying
cameras in interview rooms.

Fortified System FAQ
HOW IS THE ENCLOSURE
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
TESTED AGAINST HEAT?
We rely on the polycarbonate
manufacturer's specification for
performance data of the actual material.
The temperature that is important to poly
carbonate is the “glass-liquid transition
temperature.” The temperature on this scale
where the polycarbonate becomes less
than stiff is 295°F (147°C). The temperature
at which the polycarbonate melts is 310°F
(155°C). These numbers come directly from
the manufacturer of the polycarbonate
material. In addition, the product itself has
been tested at continuous 158°F (70°C) for
three days with no deformation issues.
WHY ARE FORTIFIED ENCLOSURES
AVAILABLE ONLY AS SYSTEMS?
Our Fortified systems have been engineered to provide
customers with a completely tested and certified system that
we guarantee will meet our published specifications for the full
three-year warranty period and beyond. All Fortified systems are
fully tested — including the camera and lens and all other internal
accessories — and carry full certification and compliance. By
providing a completely tested and guaranteed system, we save
the installer time and money by eliminating the guesswork and
“trial and error” process of trying to mix and match together an
extreme-environment system.
HOW RUGGED IS THE ENCLOSURE AGAINST
HARD RAIN AND SANDSTORMS?
The camera enclosure compartment and the data compartment
in the wall arm are IP66 rated. The arm is IP54 rated for the power
connections area, and the H series power supply itself is IP67
rated and potted in epoxy. For the H Series, the fan itself is IP54
rated. The end result is a robustly sealed and certified system that
offers excellent, guaranteed protection for the camera, lens, and
components.
WHAT IS THE VANDAL
PROTECTION AVAILABLE FOR THE
ENCLOSURE? VANDAL OR IMPACT?
The unit can withstand an IK10 impact = 20 joules of energy.
This test was performed at -22°F (-30C) and at 140°F (60°C). In
addition, a subjective test at -22°F (-30C) was performed, with a
strong man swinging a 15-pound sledgehammer to the enclosure
with a full swing, and no breakage of the enclosure was seen.
IN THE CASE OF FH UNIT OVER
TEMPERATURE, CAN THE USER
BE NOTIFIED VIA THE VIDEO
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?
Yes, cameras can be interfaced to Pelco and third-party VMS
for over-temperature alarm. The interface specifics regarding
Endura™, Digital Sentry™, and third-party VMS systems may be
different, but there is ample documentation available to assist
in the process. Additionally, Pelco does expose camera alarms
in our API, so any third-party potentially can process the alarm
should they want to write the appropriate driver. The Pelco Partner
First website (partnerfirst.pelco.com) shows which partner VMS
systems currently can process alarms from Pelco cameras. PP

The proliferation of digital and mobile
technologies is accelerating data growth
worldwide, giving rise to new large-scale data
centers and increased capacity in existing
ones. These technologies are transforming the
business environment and bringing beneficial
innovations to the world. But, what’s the cost to
our environment? And for businesses, how can
they keep their data secure in an ever-evolving
marketplace?
Pelco Press Summer 2014
“For data customers, quality and security are
non-negotiable factors. And with high energy
costs, CO2 neutrality becomes a decisive factor
when choosing a data vendor,” says Knut Molaug,
CEO of Green Mountain. So they chose flexible,
scalable Schneider Electric™ data center solutions
to help meet their aggressive sustainability and
security goals.
Sustainability Plus Security Equals Peace of Mind
Given that data centers currently account for 2 percent of global CO2 emissions,
trends toward larger data centers with more
capacity are fast-becoming a major source
of concern when it comes to global sustainability. In response, Green Mountain embraced sustainability strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. Their data center is a 21,000-million-square-foot
facility built 328 feet inside a mountain in Norway
adjacent to the North Sea. It is located in a
former high-security NATO ammunition facility,
which means that there was minimal impact on
the environment during the construction and
development phases. And its location also keeps
it safe from even the most damaging man-made
and natural forces.
“The surrounding natural resources,
combined with flexible, scalable, and reliable
Schneider Electric data center solutions allows
Green Mountain to tap into different power
grids, while ensuring power supply safety to its
customers,” says Arild Bjørkedal, vice president
of IT Business of Schneider Electric in Norway.
He adds, “Green Mountain had to have the best
security to exploit a completely unique location.”
But to further enhance their sustainability, they not only needed the right cooling and management solutions, but also a partner with the expertise to make their infrastructure optimally efficient and reliable. The Heart of the Data Center
“After a thorough assessment, we decided to select
Schneider Electric as our IT infrastructure, cooling,
and management solutions supplier,” says Molaug.
“We knew building a super-efficient data center
required solutions from a provider experienced in
making the most effective use of architecture and
technology.”
Schneider Electric solutions help Green Mountain to:
Schneider Electric Symmetra™ UPS provides
power to all servers in the mountain if the external power supply (consisting of three independent power supplies) and its backup (two massive diesel generators) should fail. Combined with the mountain’s security systems, it helps to ensure uptime of 99.99997 percent.
“
We knew building a super­
efficient data center required

In case of a power outage event,
Schneider Electric battery backups deliver enough
emergency power to maintain operations
running, from the instant the power outage
event occurs to the moment the emergency
generator starts up.

The data center’s one-of-a-kind location allows
it to take advantage of natural conditions to
provide stable energy with near-zero emissions.
Green Mountain Data Center utilizes power from
renewable sources only. As a result, the company’s
customers can also achieve a carbon footprint

For many video security
professionals, openness
is as important as
reliability. In the same
manner that the IT world
evolved from a legacy
of proprietary, closed
systems to distributed
computing and open
architectures, video
security is undergoing
an IT-fueled shift toward
open platforms and
interoperability.
Pelco Press Summer 2014
IT users have become
accustomed to an
endless array of hardware
and software choices to
assemble the solution
they desire. So it naturally
follows that, as physical
security cements
its presence on the
network, customers are
demanding similar choice
and flexibility in their
solutions.
That’s why Pelco™ by
Schneider Electric™ is
committed, more than
ever, to delivering open
and integrated solutions
— to give customers
the flexibility they need
without sacrificing the
system performance
they require. As such,
we take a multi-pronged
approach to delivering
on this promise of
guaranteeing solutions
that meet the needs of
today’s video security
marketplace.
↘
By defining and providing
interoperability through
industry standards,
the development of
strategic alliances and
partnerships, and a
growing suite of Pelco
integration tools, we
are committed to
an industry-leading
approach to opensystems design and
delivering fully integrated
video security solutions.
“We have a team that focuses 100 percent
on building integration tools — APIs and/
or SDKs — that are best-of-breed and make
integration with Pelco products easy to do.”
A Foundational
Approach
Interoperability is a key pillar of
our product development strategy,
and Pelco has made significant
investments in this area. “We have
grown our integration support team
to ensure that we are effective in
communicating and working with
other manufacturers, and every
product-development effort includes
a focus specifically on integration
with other manufacturers,” explained
Stuart Rawling, Pelco director of
partnering and integration and vice
chairman ONVIF™ communication
committee group. “Our development
teams work with other manufacturers
to ensure that new features and
capabilities of next-generation
products are exposed and available
for integration. We have a team that
focuses 100 percent on building
integration tools — application
protocol interfaces (APIs) and/or
software development kits (SDKs)
— that are best-of-breed and make
integration with Pelco products easy
to do.”
In addition to our own integration tools,
Pelco has prioritized implementation
of industry-leading standards, such
as ONVIF Profile S. Pelco Sarix™ and
Spectra™ IP cameras already have
ONVIF Profile S conformance, which
enables users to easily identify specific
interoperable features by profile, and
includes features such as pan-tilt­
zoom control; audio streaming, and
relay outputs.
Partner First
Our groundbreaking Partner First program marks a new level of
openness as we identify and bring to market additional features,
capabilities, and solutions to our existing portfolio of video
security solutions.
“Partner First is our way of establishing a formal relationship with
other manufacturers that enables our development teams to work
together to establish and maintain a high level of interoperability
between products,” said Dave deLisser, Pelco director of integration
business development. “Additionally, it allows us to work together to
ensure successful deployment of our joint solutions.”
Pelco is constantly seeking new integration partners. “In addition to
component APIs and product-to-product integration, we recognize the
need to identify and ally with strategic partners to bring new solutions
that deliver value to our customers,” deLisser said. “As such, we are
focused on partners whose expertise and technology complement
Pelco’s strengths. Together with a strategic partner, we can offer better
solutions than neither of us could offer alone – powerful, new solutions
that make a difference for our customers.”
Across a range of product lines, Pelco is expanding interoperability
with other manufacturers — from IP cameras and storage systems to
video management software, recording systems, and more — to make
field integration of critical systems easy and worry-free. With more
than 300 partner companies, Partner First is delivering the advanced,
integrated solutions that drive our industry forward.
And, of course, there is the Partner
First program.

Open Standards
Pelco is involved with multiple industry alliances, but over the last couple of years we have
invested heavily in participation with ONVIF, the global leading standardization initiative for
IP-based physical security products. As a full member of ONVIF, our video and software
experts are able to work with colleagues across the physical security industry to help define
and drive interoperability forward. We believe industry standards like ONVIF are very important
to the growth and long-term success of the video security industry, and we have employees
participating in each of the ONVIF working groups. Our goal is to keep the momentum moving
forward and influence the standard in a direction that is best for the overall industry.

PELCO CONSULTANT
It’s Not What You Scale –
It’s the Way That You Scale It
Overcoming the Challenges of Multiple
System IP Video Management Solutions
In recent installments of Pelco Consultant, we’ve discussed the benefits of
aggregation as an approach for accessing and administering multiple remote
IP video surveillance systems. In this installment, we will look deeper into the
complexities of video system scalability, and we’ll consider a few approaches.
A Basic Scenario
A regional or national retail chain is a great example of an enduser customer that would have multiple sites, with multiple video
cameras at each site. Let’s suppose that each retail location is
roughly 3,000 to 3,500 square feet, and each has from nine to 24
cameras per site. The cameras watch entries and exits, provide
coverage of the showroom floor to watch over merchandise and
people, exterior cameras monitor parking lots and entrances, and
inside a few cameras are dedicated to capturing image detail at
the cash register/transaction desk.
MWIA-9HSJKB
First and foremost, the video system records activity inside and
outside the retail location, providing a record of what happens, so
that, in the event of an incident (theft, vandalism, slip and fall) we
can review the recorded video and hopefully find evidence that
will identify “who did what” and will lead to appropriate decisionmaking and resolution: arrest and prosecution of a burglar,
settlement of an injury claim, etc. To meet these purposes, a
relatively few number of people actually need access to video
– the manager of each location, a regional supervisor, security
staff, and maybe someone in corporate facilities. If the number of
locations and the number of users are relatively small, traditional
video management systems (VMS) can offer sufficient flexibility
to manage those users’ permissions and privileges. As a general
guideline, with 10 or more systems to manage, administration
begins to get unwieldy.
58 |
Pelco Press Summer 2014
Growing Complexity…
More, More, More
Use of video in organizations,
like the retail chain in our
example, is growing, and
it’s growing in any way that
you measure it. More sites.
More users. More reach.
More sites. Suppose an
individual in the organization
needs to access the local
video system at each location.
Your master system has to
account for that individual
user at each site. If that
person needs access to 10
sites, you have to manage
10 accounts for that person.
That means either: that
user needs to remember
10 different logins (one for
each system she/he needs
to access), or the system
manager needs to manage
the synchronization of this one
user’s account across all those
10 sites. If an administrator
is managing across all
these remote systems,
then she/he has to do this
synchronization for each user.
More users. As we’ve noted
in the past, a growing trend is
that organizations are realizing
that video data can be used
for more than just security
and surveillance. Sales and
marketing professionals
can use video to analyze
traffic flows, to ensure that
local stores are displaying
appropriate, timely promotional
materials. Facilities managers
can look for safety compliance
and potential issues. And so
on. With just a little thought,
it’s easy to imagine a growing
number of non-traditional
users — all seeking video
data to improve their decisionmaking and improve the
organization’s operations. That
means there will be a need to
support more and more users.
More reach. As an
organization grows, the
reach of a single employee is
continuing to expand. She/he
needs to see more and more
sites, and access more and
more systems. Additionally,
the people who report to this
individual now need access
to additional sites. His direct
reports need video – this
expands the user base.
We are also broadening
the types of users. We’re
introducing new user profiles
that require different sets
of permissions. We need to
set additional parameters
— who can access video?
Which cameras can they
access? What frame-rate
can they stream? How
do we accommodate law
enforcement access to video?
How do we provide video
for regulatory oversight?
This brings increasingly
complex sets of user
roles and permissions.
With each new site and each
new user, the administrator’s
job becomes complex
and burdensome.
How to deal with it all?
One possibility is that every
time you add a site, you
could add staff to deal with
administration, but this is
fraught with risk: It’s costly
to hire new people, it opens
you up to multiple humanerror mistakes across all
your systems, and without
careful controls, permissions
can lapse, and people
who’ve left the company
can still access video.
Another choice is to deploy
a centrally managed VMS
(Video-Management System)
solution, in which the core
head end is in your central
location, with satellite/remote
systems. The advantage of
this approach is a single user­
store-repository, a single set
of permissions to manage,
a single set of accounts
to manage. However, this
approach requires a very
reliable connection between
remote systems and central
system, because every time
remote users log in, they
need to authenticate to
central system. This type of
approach is very networkdependent and tends to
be very expensive. (Think
high-end, enterprise class).
Another approach would be
a mini-federation, by placing
a federated server at each
location. This approach
mitigates the real-time
network-dependency problem;
however, when network
connection goes down,
you still have to deal with
reconciling any conflicts that
occur when people change
records/data while the central
system is down. Also, this
tends to be expensive —
because it requires adding an
expensive high-end federation
server at each site in addition
to the existing remote system.
These servers tend to be
at an expensive, high-end,
enterprise-class price.
You could try to purchase a
bunch of DVRs and network
video recorders (NVRs) and
create your own system to
centralize the management
of those accounts. You could
write to each DVR’s/NVR’s
application programming
interface (API) to coordinate
with some sort of user
database you create based on
LDAP (Lighweight Directory
Access Protocol). It’s similar
to a centrally managed system,
but you benefit from use of
software development kits
(SDKs) for automatic updating.
There are costs, and you’re
limited by the capabilities of
the NVR SDK you use. There
can be limits to the granularity
of permissions control offered
by a particular NVR’s SDK.
For it to work successfully,
you must have a strict
process in place for when and
how you do system updates,
permissions updates, etc.
An Aggregation
Solution
The solution that Pelco™ by
Schneider Electric™ is moving
forward with is aggregation.
System aggregation uses
a virtual machine (an
aggregation server), which
can be installed anywhere in
your network, to unite various
remote systems. The benefit
of the aggregation server is
that it allows you to deploy
individual (remote) systems,
but at run-time, you can
access all systems and pull up
the current state of permission
access. You can add users,
change users’ roles, and
you can push updates out to
remote systems.
System aggregation
leverages the data store at
each remote system. You
don’t have to maintain one
single, centralized system
representation. Instead,
you’re always getting the
latest state of the system
when you log in and call
up the permissions store,
because it’s the aggregate of
the permissions on all of the
systems you’ve aggregated. PP

The Future of Video Surveillance —
Panoramic Cameras
64 |
The big video surveillance camera category to watch in 2014 is the 180/360 degree
panoramic network cameras, with global unit shipments forecasted to increase by
more than 60 percent year-on-year, according to IHS, the industry leader in video
surveillance trends. In particular, 180/360 degree cameras are predicted to gain
market share in verticals such as retail, airports, and casinos, where monitoring
wide indoor areas is a key requirement of the video surveillance system. In these
scenarios, the cameras can reduce capital expenditure as fewer cameras are
required to cover the same area.
Pelco Press Summer 2014
180/360 degree panoramic cameras are available in two
general configurations:
• Multi-sensor cameras where multiple image sensors and
standard lenses are arranged in either a unidirectional or
multidirectional array. Separate images can be stitched together
either on the edge or at the
central server.
• Lens-based megapixel
network cameras are typically
paired with either a fisheye
lens or a panomorph lens.
“
the network video recorder (NVR), such as Pelco’s Digital Sentry™
or other compatible platforms, provides an immersive experience
that allows you to go back in time to retrospectively view the total
scene in its original form and then pan, tilt, and/or zoom within the
360-degree image — just like you can on a live image.
This is an exciting partnership. We are delighted Pelco has
recognized the quality of our 360-degree technology and
the value it brings to its customers as it seeks to meet the
growing demand for this technology in the marketplace.
While opportunities exist for
both configurations, the lensbased panoramic camera market is predicted to be the faster
growing of the two markets.
Historically, lens-based panoramic cameras have suffered from
the need for proprietary dewarping software. However, with the
development of dewarping technology, panoramic cameras now
have a much wider compatibility into video management software
platforms. New integrations, combined with increasing availability
of panoramic cameras, will help the product category meet
increasing customer demand.
What is a Retrospective Immersive Experience?
The best way to explain the retrospective immersive experience
is to imagine stepping back in time and having the ability to pan,
tilt, and zoom around the scene — just like you would on a live
image. If an incident or event occurred yesterday, you would have
the ability to play back the clip from the time just before the event
took place, and just like you would when viewing a live scene,
you could pan, tilt, and zoom around the scene as the video clip
played. You would play the clip forward and backward as you
unraveled and analyzed the detail.
While panoramic cameras provide a complete video surveillance
picture, other camera types are often required to provide more
detailed images. Therefore, IHS predicts that panoramic cameras
will increasingly be combined with pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) dome
cameras. In these cases, the panoramic camera can be used
to provide a constant overview to identify points of interest and
supply coordinates for an optical zoom PTZ camera to focus
on, providing the more detailed images. According to IHS, the
combined panoramic camera and PTZ camera solutions will
increase operational efficiency and reduce PTZ operator errors.
Taking the Next Step in 360-Degree Total
Situational Awareness
Pelco™ by Schneider Electric™ and Oncam Grandeye have
partnered to provide the Evolution 360-Degree camera range. This
exciting joint venture combines Oncam Grandeye’s award winning
360-degree cameras and technology with Pelco’s extensive
service and support, product delivery, and warranty fulfillment.
With client-side dewarping and retrospective analysis, you have
the best forensic tool available on the market today. Dewarping on
This unique ability to investigate and establish facts of interest
in relation to a past event or an incident that is happening now
enables security, loss prevention, and health and safety personnel
to forensically analyze what happened leading up to, during, and
after the event, across the entire scene as if you were there.
The entire history of the scene is accessible for you to interrogate, in
a way that is both familiar and user friendly to CCTV system users.
Advantages of Client-Side Dewarping
Panoramic cameras are offered with either dewarping on the
camera or on the client application. Experience has proven
that there is a significant advantage when the dewarping is
performed on the client-side application versus doing the
dewarping in the camera.
Pelco Press Summer 2014
| 65
NEW TECHNOLOGY
As technology moves forward,
improvements are being made in image
quality and user experience. Likewise,
technology is becoming more simple,
flexible, and interactive to use. And like
everything else, video management
systems (VMS) are advancing. Dewarping
on the client side allows for retrospective
viewing, which enables the user to go back
in time to view the total scene in its original
form and then pan, tilt, and/or zoom within
the 360-degree image as desired. The
patented Oncam Grandeye approach to
dewarping uses the graphics processing
unit (GPU), which significantly reduces the
impact on the processing required by the
central processing unit (CPU), and gives a
seamless user experience with zero latency.
An additional advantage to dewarping
on the client side is the ability for multiple
clients to view the same image, with
different perspectives, concurrently; there
is no time slicing required as with traditional
PTZ cameras or 360-degree cameras with
dewarping on the camera. Dewarping on
the camera lets the customer create virtual
views or narrow-field windows that create
blind spots similar to conventional cameras.
The windows may be moved using PTZ
commands over the network, and will then
have latency similar to what is currently
associated with mechanical PTZ cameras.
use as much as 20 percent of the CPU’s
power, based on the size of the image and
frame rate. Traditionally, with hardware
dewarping and PTZing, the images do
not require additional dewarping and this
further reduces the CPU load.
The result is that by using GPU/OpenGL
there is no latency when the client uses
PTZ commands for a different perspective,
and the bilinear filtering, which is used in
the dewarping process, ensures minimal
resolution loss on the dewarped images.
Lenses
There is a lot of confusion when it comes
to representing the true resolution of a
360-degree camera. However, there are
some simple mathematics that can help
end users and integrators check exactly
what resolution they are getting. Most
manufacturers use a 5 Mpx sensor, or
2592 x 1944 pixels, and the image is then
cropped to the size of the lens, or a circle
within a rectangle. The circle, therefore, has
a diameter of 1944 pixels and the following
equation is used to calculate the true
resolution.
A = (RxR) x PiOR A = (972x972) x Pi
when A = 2.9 Mpx
Dewarping on the camera does not allow
the ability to retrospectively view the
360-degree image, which is one of the
biggest advantages of using 360-degree
cameras. In addition, and similar to a
conventional PTZ camera, all users need to
view the same image at the same time or
request a time slice to control the camera,
severely limiting its usefulness for remote
viewing by different clients at the same time.
Oncam Grandeye has developed SDK’s for
multiple platforms that can be integrated
into any client-side application. In the
Oncam Grandeye case these come with
patented dewarping technology using
OpenGL and 3D modeling techniques to
project a texture map of the image onto
p-surface (a 3D object, generated by a
computer graphic system). This takes
advantage of current state-of-the-art
GPUs, which reduce the load on the CPU.
Performing dewarping on the CPU could

Oncam Grandeye, with more than 10 years
experience in developing 360-degree
technology, matches the sensor to the lens,
maximizing the resolution and providing
the very best 360-degree solution. It uses
the same 5 Mpx sensor and crops it first
to 2144 x 1944, and then matches the lens
to the diameter of 2144. This gives Oncam
Grandeye cameras a true resolution of
3.5 Mpx, providing a clearer image and
Figure 2: 5 Mpx sensor with 3.5 Mpx image

manufacturers.
In Conclusion
There really are no limits on how
360-degree technology, coupled with the
best patented 3D dewarping technology
and integrated into the VMS, can add
value. The many facets of the Evolution
