Latin America. Motorola Solutions introduced its innovative range of Pelco devices, powered by artificial intelligence and created specifically to operate in extreme environments, such as the oil industry, the maritime industry and ports. This launch is the result of a solid investment in engineering and development, offering fixed cameras, robust long-range devices, smart sensors and advanced analytics tools with artificial intelligence, all compatible with a wide variety of third-party video management systems (VMS).
Since acquiring Pelco in 2020, Motorola Solutions has completely revamped its camera lineup, doubling its portfolio by integrating key engineering and design areas. Now, under a modernized Pelco brand, the company has brought together specialized security technologies from strategic acquisitions such as Videotec, IP Video and Silent Sentinel.
"Pelco provides security operators with robust, AI-powered solutions capable of operating in a wide range of environmental conditions," said Hamish Dobson, corporate vice president at Pelco. "We created Pelco to combine rugged hardware, next-generation detection and AI-based analytics for a VMS-agnostic portfolio of devices that is raising the bar for security in critical infrastructure."
A portfolio designed for extreme circumstances
The growth of the Pelco line represents an opportunity for development for key sectors such as transport, aviation, maritime and utilities. These areas are often met with unfavorable weather conditions, exposure to corrosive elements, and other elements that can quickly deteriorate standard safety devices.
Among the innovations are:
• Espirit anti-corrosion chambers, created to withstand ocean components in maritime environments.
• ExSite Enhanced Thermal 2 Fixed Camera, a protection solution that provides certified explosion-resistant thermal imaging, perfect for infrastructure such as power plants.
• Halo Smart Sensor, a built-in sensor that offers security without recording, safeguarding privacy while identifying actions such as vaping, gunshots, atypical noises, movement and emergency words such as "help".
• Aeron and Jaegar cameras, capable of identifying hazards up to 32 kilometers away, created to operate in extreme situations in areas such as military, aviation, and vital infrastructure.
Elevate, a cloud platform that monitors the status of cameras and improves their detection abilities through artificial intelligence, provides support for all Pelco devices.
In addition, Pelco solutions are compatible with the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) standard, which facilitates their integration with other systems and avoids costly technological renewals. Likewise, Pelco IP cameras comply with the regulations of section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), guaranteeing their acquisition under the highest security standards.
