SightLogix Introduces New Line of Thermal-Color Smart Cameras

/0 Comments/in , /by

SightLogix has introduce a compelling new line of thermal-color detection cameras, specifically designed for the mainstream perimeter security market.

The SightSensor TC4 is a dual-imager smart camera that combines the power of thermal detection and visible color to detect targets with exceptional reliability over critical, industrial, and commercial perimeters.

Featuring a 384×288 high-clarity thermal array, the TC4 offers 44% more pixels and a higher resolution than standard 320×240 thermal cameras, delivering economic benefits as well. Long-range and wide area detection means fewer cameras are needed to protect large outdoor areas. And combining thermal and visible in one device means one camera on the pole instead of two, with a single network drop, one mounting bracket, and simpler installation overall.

“The new SightSensor TC4 line solves the most pressing challenges for outdoor security, delivering outstanding performance, high reliability, and ease of use, offering an extraordinary value for our customers,” said John Romanowich, SightLogix president and CEO.

Like all SightSensors, the TC4 works at the edge and includes integrated video analytics, automatic stabilization, and a toolbox of filters to manage application conditions, analyzing the scene for security threats, and communicating alerts and video of the event in real time. TC4 is IP66 rated and built for high reliability and longevity in harsh environments.

Unlike other dual-imager security cameras, SightSensor TC’s thermal and visible imagers are optically aligned to create a rapid, real-time assessment tool. This also empowers Dual-Sensor Analytics (DSA), a SightLogix innovation that analyzes detected targets from both thermal and visible sensors simultaneously for improved detection accuracy and reduced false alarms. By placing a red alarm box on both thermal and visible streams, users get comprehensive details about the intrusion and can make a quick and informed response.

SightSensor TC4 is available now, with three models that detect inbound targets at 50 meters (164 feet), 110 meters (360 feet) and 160 meters (525 feet). Both thermal and color video streams are viewable through a wide range of third-party VMS systems.

Chad Wright Named Rapid Response CTO

/0 Comments/in /by

Jeffrey Atkins, president of Rapid Response Monitoring Services, Inc., announced the promotion of Chad Wright, currently Vice President of Technical Services, to Chief Technology Officer. As CTO, Chad will oversee initiatives in Information Technology and Software Development and will plan the future of technical development at Rapid Response. Chad joined Rapid Response in 2017 as Vice President of Technical Services and was responsible for the management of the Information Technology, Programming, and Project Management teams. He managed the 99.999% uptime SLA across two data centers, and he led development for commercial applications. He has held the position of Chief Technology Officer previously at MicroAutomation and at Salesblade.

Upon joining Rapid Response, however, he almost immediately faced challenges as our headquarters and monitoring center expanded in Syracuse, the COVID pandemic made evident the need for dispersed and remote work connections for non-monitoring personnel, and the need for a broader based Operations team led to the development of our new Henderson facility. His efforts in meeting these challenges, and many others, were critical in keeping the company in position to be highly competitive, particularly in what continues to be an uncertain economic environment.

“There is no stronger or clearer indication of a company’s sophistication and competitive strength than the level of expertise exhibited by its employees. I am confident that in his new role as Rapid
Response CTO, Chad will provide and inspire the very highest level of excellence in supporting Rapid Response as a leader in this industry,” said Atkins.
