Motorola Solutions Unveils Pelco: A Revolutionary AI-Powered Security Device Portfolio for Extreme Environments
CHICAGO, March 26, 2025—Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) has officially launched Pelco, a new range of cutting-edge security devices driven by artificial intelligence, designed specifically for industries operating in some of the world’s most demanding environments, such as oil and gas sectors and ports. With its robust engineering capabilities and heavy investment in research and development, Pelco’s range includes fixed cameras, ruggedized long-range cameras, smart sensors, and advanced AI analytics that seamlessly integrate with various third-party video management systems (VMS).
Since acquiring Pelco in 2020, Motorola Solutions has completely reimagined its camera lineup, expanding its offerings more than twofold. This transformation, with in-house engineering and design, has been marked by the introduction of a fresh Pelco brand identity. The new portfolio also incorporates specialized security technologies acquired from Videotec, IP Video, and Silent Sentinel.
"Pelco was built with one goal in mind: to deliver security solutions that excel in challenging environmental conditions. These devices are not only tough but are enhanced by AI-powered analytics, making them adaptable to a wide variety of systems," said Hamish Dobson, Corporate Vice President of Pelco. "Our aim with Pelco is to raise the bar for critical infrastructure security, providing security operators with tools they can trust across demanding conditions."
The expanded portfolio is designed to support a wide range of industries, including transportation, aviation, maritime, and utilities—sectors that often face extreme weather, corrosive elements, and other hazardous conditions where traditional security cameras would quickly degrade. Pelco’s devices are purpose-built to thrive in these environments, ensuring high-quality performance even in the harshest conditions.
Pelco’s specialized offerings include:
-
Esprit Anti-Corrosion Cameras: Built to withstand the brutal maritime conditions, these cameras offer unrivaled durability in the face of saltwater, extreme temperatures, and other corrosive factors.
-
ExSite Enhanced Thermal 2 Fixed Camera: Designed for hazardous locations like power plants, this explosion-proof camera provides thermal imaging with global certifications, ensuring reliable surveillance in dangerous settings.
-
Halo Smart Sensor: This all-in-one intelligent sensor can detect a wide array of events, including gunshots, abnormal noises, vaping, motion, and emergency phrases like “help.” It also protects privacy by focusing on event detection without compromising security.
-
Aeron and Jaegar Cameras: These high-performance cameras have detection capabilities that extend up to 20 miles, making them perfect for military, aviation, maritime, and critical infrastructure use in remote and hostile environments.
Each Pelco device is supported by Elevate, a powerful cloud-based platform that ensures cameras remain operational and fully optimized. Elevate assesses camera health, provides real-time insights, and enhances camera performance through cloud-based AI, offering invaluable support for operators.
Pelco devices are engineered to be compatible with Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF)-conformant systems, making them easy to install and integrate into existing systems. This compatibility minimizes the need for costly upgrades and ensures smoother transitions for businesses and critical infrastructure operations. Additionally, Pelco’s IP cameras comply with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Sec. 889 rules, which mandate the procurement of secure equipment.
