Optelecom-NKF Debuts Siqura(TM) IP Surveillance Solutions
GERMANTOWN, Md., April 5 / -- Optelecom-NKF, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPTC), a leading global provider of advanced IP video network solutions for security, surveillance, and remote monitoring applications, today unveiled Siqura(TM), the Company's innovative, advanced, and versatile platform for building integrated, intelligent IP surveillance solutions.
Siqura(TM) features flexible architecture and uses a highly scalable modular approach that can be quickly tailored to meet the requirements of any video surveillance application. Siqura(TM) provides users with all of the components necessary, from camera to console, to quickly move a surveillance application from project design to full field deployment.
"Ongoing threats to our safety, relaxed privacy rights legislation, and growing public acceptance of surreptitious camera surveillance are reflected in increased government public safety budgets," said Edmund Ludwig, Optelecom- NKF's president and CEO. "Camera surveillance is a proven, cost effective, and increasingly ubiquitous monitoring solution for traffic flows, public spaces, industrial areas, subways, and airports. Siqura(TM) is the foundation for our future IP technology, but it's much more than an advanced product line. Siqura(TM) represents a comprehensive solutions approach based on consultancy, design expertise, supply, system integration, and ongoing support.
"As our markets move toward integrated solutions to serve security and surveillance requirements, Optelecom-NKF will take the burden of specifying and integrating individual components off of our customers. That way, they can concentrate on establishing a secure facility and leave the tools of providing it to us. This is in line with our strategy to continually move up the value chain for customers.
"Customers want effective, efficient, flexible fully integrated solutions," Mr. Ludwig continued, "Siqura(TM) lets fewer operators manage more cameras, store and retrieve more video images, and perform advanced video content analysis from motion detection and license plate recognition to object and behavior detection. We incorporate easy-to-use software with ruggedized network components that deliver the best video quality, reliably, in extreme environmental conditions -- all supported with topflight, worldwide service."
SIQURA(TM) components include:
Cameras -- available soon
Codecs/servers -- available in a number of versions, from cost-effective, low-bandwidth video servers up to temperature-hardened, multichannel video codecs.
Network -- integrating network services, especially streaming applications such as video, audio, and data. Optelecom-NKF also works with equipment from third-party manufacturers.
Storage -- efficient storage and reliable retrieval of video images, without compromising image quality.
Software -- interfacing with the operator to install and configure network components and software to manage and maintain the system during operation.
Video content analysis -- applied as embedded intelligence in the Siqura(TM) components.
