Built upon the Esprit SE positioning system platform, the system now features dynamic window blanking, auto tracking, internal scheduling clock, electronic image stabilisation, and multilanguage menus – all formerly reserved only for high-speed domes.

Designed and built for continuous use featuring an integrated camera and lens, pan-and-tilt unit, multiprotocol receiver, and Sarix-based H.264 encoder, Esprit SE IP offers dynamic remote positioning capabilities and is capable of remaining completely operational in up to 90 mile-per-hour wind conditions. This integrated system offers responsive, high-speed positioning capabilities, fully configurable video streaming, easy browser-based set-up, weather protection, aesthetic design and ease-of-installation.

With the ability to control and monitor video over IP networks, Esprit SE IP offers H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG compression. The system meets global IP physical standard, and ONVIF compliance and also features an encoder, receiver, pan/tilt, and enclosure with integrated optics package (IOP), or pressurised integrated optics cartridge (IOC), NTSC/PAL and a tilt range of +36° to –85° from horizontal for optimal visual surveillance. It also has an on-screen compass and tilt display to track the angle of the picture.

The system also offers durability, especially in extreme weather conditions - it is operational in wind speeds of up to 90 mph and can withstand wind speeds of up to 130 mph. It features an integrated window wiper that does not interfere with the viewing range, along with a built-in heater that defrosts and defogs the window and also serves as a sun shroud and insulation blanket. The system is designed for minimal maintenance with no gears to adjust and the system’s IOC contains dry nitrogen pressurized to 10 psi, which protects the environment inside the cartridge, eliminating internal condensation or corrosion.

“Pelco by Schneider Electric products are long respected for being innovative, well-built, and reliable,” said Charlie Shilling, product manager, Schneider Electric. “Building off this strong foundation, we realise our customers are demanding open IP-based solutions to meet their evolving security needs. We’re addressing the high-performance, environmental PTZ requirement with the Esprit SE IP system.”
