Pixim Powered Security Cameras Protect Australia's Ports
Patrick, Australia's Technology Leader in Port Security, Teams with One Security to Install All-Digital Port Security System Based on Pixim® DPS Technology.
Pixim Inc, a leading provider of image sensors and processors for enterprise security cameras, has been chosen as a key technology by Patrick, Australia's largest operator of shipping and container terminals. Patrick teamed with One Security International Pty Ltd, a premier provider of security solutions, for installation of an all-digital Pixim-powered video security system in six Australian ports.
Patrick is converting its analog CCD-based video camera system to an all-digital security and management system, utilizing Pixim-powered cameras. With a fully updated security system slated for six maritime facilities consisting of four terminals and two stevedores, Patrick will have more than 500 Pixim-based cameras in place. These maritime sites will incorporate Pixim-powered box and dome camera formats, placed inside Patrick's buildings and lobbies, as well as outdoors to protect the perimeters and acreage.
Pixim's award-winning Digital Pixel System® (DPS) technology is the only video image processing technology to employ hundreds of thousands of pixels, each acting like an individual camera. These self-adjusting pixels eliminate image-compromising visual noise and deliver high resolution, natural color and clarity ~ even within highlights and shadows. Pixim's all-digital system overcomes typical impediments of existing analog CCD technologies to provide positive subject identification.
John Monti, vice president of marketing and business development, Pixim said: "Pixim makes it possible for video security systems to deliver data without doubt. The wide deployment of our technology across Patrick's port security installation demonstrates the tremendous versatility of Pixim-powered cameras - the ability to capture and deliver superb image quality and crucial details in all lighting conditions. At port access points, a person's face is no longer obscured by back light, shifts in lighting throughout the day or glare from water. In addition to identifying perpetrators 24/7, Pixim-powered cameras deliver superior data to the video analytics system for more accurate forensics and other investigation"
