ULIS seals IR sensors deal with Schneider Electric in US
The deal is ULIS’ first major contract win in North America and marks a growing trend in infrared technology among makers of visible cameras, who produce an estimated 20 – 25 million units per year, globally, according to industry insiders.
Pelco chose ULIS’ IR sensors for their performance, resistance to sun exposure, sensitivity and compatibility with Pelco and third party analytics (security algorithms that detect, locate and monitor intrusions). This is a much sought after feature since it improves the ability to assess threats.
David Dorn, director of thermal imaging at Pelco. “Pelco picked ULIS’ image sensors for their incredibly low noise while offering sun-safe operation and high reliability operation necessary for security applications. The high sensitivity of ULIS microbolometers are also a great combination with Sarix’s powerful image processing capability. The ULIS/Pelco partnership allows us to provide industry leading thermal image quality, integrated video analytics capability, and Pelco network connectivity while setting price points that enable cost effective deployment for most security applications.”
Under the agreement, ULIS will deliver off-the-shelf TV 640×480 and 1/4 TV 384×288 format IR sensors. ULIS’ IR sensors will be used to provide round-the-clock surveillance in all weather conditions for a variety of applications, including port installations, public utilities, and critical infrastructure surveillance.
