Cisco To Jointly Develop HD IP Video Security Cameras With Pelco

San Jose, California-headquartered Cisco Systems Inc has entered into a strategic tie-up with Clovis, California-headquartered Pelco Inc, a Schneider Electric Company. The tie-up is for development of a product in the domain of video security cameras.

Pelco is a leader in the design, development and manufacture of video and security systems. Cisco is a leader in IP networking technology. Together, the two aim to bring out the next generation of high-definition Internet Protocol (HD-IP) equipment aimed at the high-tech surveillance market. Pelco will supply Cisco with a complete line of HD imaging technologies that will be deployed by the latter to extend its existing camera line and network-centric video surveillance systems.

The video security camera shall be co-branded. The product will feature full-frame-rate video, H.264 compression, advanced low-light performance, embedded analytics, auto-focus and easy installation which are elements of Pelco’s Sarix technology. Cisco’s own IP networking features will be incorporated in this technology.

With security and surveillance becoming the need of the hour for both governments and private corporations, the market is likely to see more such collaborations in the near future.
