Motorola Solutions recently unveiled its new Pelco portfolio, a cutting-edge lineup of artificial intelligence-powered security devices designed for businesses operating in demanding environments, such as oil and gas fields and ports. With a focus on resilience, these devices promise to deliver reliable performance even under the harshest conditions. Supported by Motorola's extensive engineering expertise and substantial research investments, the Pelco range includes fixed cameras, rugged long-range cameras, smart sensors, and AI-driven analytics, all easily integrated with a variety of third-party video management systems (VMS).
Since Motorola Solutions acquired Pelco in 2020, the company has completely transformed the brand. The new camera lineup has more than doubled in size, a result of bringing engineering and design in-house. Under the refreshed Pelco brand, the portfolio now includes specialized technologies from strategic acquisitions such as Videotec, IP Video, and Silent Sentinel, all combined to offer enhanced security capabilities.
"Pelco provides security operators with robust, AI-powered solutions that excel in diverse environmental conditions," said Hamish Dobson, Corporate Vice President of Pelco. "We've carefully designed Pelco to combine tough hardware, advanced sensing, and AI analytics, creating a device portfolio that is not tied to any specific video management system, while setting higher standards for critical infrastructure security."
The new Pelco portfolio also extends its reach into industries like transportation, aviation, maritime, and utilities—sectors where businesses face extreme weather, corrosive elements, and other hazardous conditions that would quickly damage standard security equipment. With Pelco, these industries now have a reliable solution that withstands the toughest environments.
Key features of Pelco’s new offerings include:
-
Elevate Cloud Platform: This cloud-based service monitors camera health and enhances the device's sensing capabilities through AI-powered cloud analytics.
-
Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) Compatibility: Pelco’s devices are compatible with ONVIF-compliant systems, simplifying installation and integration while avoiding costly system overhauls.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Pelco IP cameras meet the requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Sec. 889, ensuring the procurement of secure, compliant equipment.
Attendees can see the latest Pelco innovations firsthand at ISC West, booth #14059, in Las Vegas from April 2-4.
