To show how straightforward a complete Siqura solution can be, Siqura will demonstrate a total security system at Ifsec. Siqura security cameras and codecs will be configured to Siqura’s intelligent IP video management system (VMS). Siqura IP fixed and PTZ security cameras as well as Siqura codecs use dedicated DSPs to implement analytics locally on unprocessed images. This ensures the best results from analysis software while streamlining bandwidth consumption. Siqura’s VMS specializes in facilitating the control of and access to devices that compress and process information at the edge of the network.

Due to the reliable and secure nature of fibre optic networks, Siqura is now offering its IP PTZ dome cameras with a plug-and-play fibre optic connector option. This feature simplifies the setup, maintenance, and appearance of camera installations where a fibre network is utilised to overcome long-distance limitations. At the ISC West 2011 trade show earlier this month, these pioneering new security cameras won the New Product Showcase award for the best IP camera in video surveillance.

Siqura is currently developing pressurised IP and analogue PTZ dome security cameras to offer a robust solution for the most taxing situations. It is capable of withstanding intense levels of solar heat (945VA UV protection) and providing high-quality video in environments with extreme levels of moisture, dirt, or pollution (IP67 Ingress Protection). This pressurised dome camera will be commercially available in the summer of 2011.

ATEX certified explosion-proof versions of the Siqura fixed and PTZ analogue and IP security cameras will soon be available. These resilient assemblages are essential for the chemical and petro-chemical industries.

At Ifsec Siqura will also show its high-definition, ONVIF-compliant security camera line, a collection of six cameras providing HD (720p) and Full HD (1080p) resolution images in H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG.

Siqura will put its Camera Health Check video content analysis (VCA) application on display, a programme that guarantees the availability of quality video material the moment you need it. The Camera Health Check continually assesses the status or well-being of the attached security cameras by monitoring the cameras’ positions and image quality. When something is amiss, the application triggers an alarm to promptly alert operators, thereby ensuring images are on hand while at the same time reducing unnecessary maintenance costs.
