6237 AMG-Panogenics and 6659 Cathexis have launched a fully integrated surveillance system said to be ideal for mining and construction industry firm security and infrastructure management needs.

The combined system is based on South Africa-based Cathexis’s CatVision IP Surveillance Software Suite and UK company AMG-Panogenics’s 5 Megapixel PanoCam360.

Mark Ross, director of Cathexis’s European subsidiary based in Derby, central England, said: “We see a big potential in the integration of the 5 Megapixel PanoCam360 with our CatVision software suite.

“Our market covers anything from single sites to major retail chains, complex organisations with outlets across borders and continents, and some of the world’s largest mining organisations with very specific requirements, often with thousands of cameras.

“We can already see a number of projects where PanoCam360 will be appropriate, and the flexibility provided by the 360° functionality makes this AMG-Panogenics camera an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.”

David Myers, of AMG-Panogenics, said: “PanoCam360 streams 12.5 frames per second and the on-board de-warping reduces the processing requirement back in the control room. Offering up to 14 de-warped video streams/independent camera views simultaneously alongside the full-resolution fish-eye view makes PanoCam360 the most powerful and versatile 360 degree camera range available.”

Cathexis’s feature-rich CatVision VMS is said to provide an extensive range of sophisticated surveillance options, tools and functionality to satisfy all security and infrastructure management requirements across a wide variety of market sectors.
The open architecture Windows and Linux variants are said to enable IP cameras, recording and viewing servers to be integrated seamlessly, thereby providing clients with the best solutions and maximum return on investment.

Coming in four software levels, CatVision’s several licensed add-ons are said by Cathexis to allow for bespoke customised solutions. The software’s backward compatibility supports a hybrid platform said to make upgrading easy and cost effective, while also ensuring a future proof solution.
