Absco Speaks: trusted resources on physical security

Vicon has announced the addition of the Roughneck Pro PTZ to their renowned NDAA-compliant Roughneck Series.

The Roughneck Series has changed the way businesses deal with numerous federal guidelines. With a range of powerful camera options for all installations – at aggressive price points – Vicon introduces this PTZ as the latest addition to the lineup. With 2 MP resolution, stunning 30X optical zoom, and superior features such as Starlight low-light imaging, Adaptive IR, advanced AI-analytics, and more, it is easy to see why this PTZ is quickly gaining attention.

The Roughneck PTZ is engineered to withstand challenging environments and is IP66 and IK07 rated. It is ideal for installations in need of sophisticated perimeter protection, at a fraction of the cost.

Some of the truly exceptional features are the diverse processing options. It is engineered to capture crisp images day or night, providing operators with peace of mind and 24/7 surveillance. With True WDR, users can capture crisp details in both bright and dark areas of the scene. Powerful IR illumination reaches an astonishing 492 feet (150 meters) to provide clear details of your environment at night.

Not wanting to settle, Vicon takes this PTZ a few steps forward and packs it with both Adaptive IR and Starlight imaging. With just these two features alone, users are given the opportunity to enable rich image processing and strengthen the reliability of their security operation. Adaptive IR intelligently distributes IR light providing clearer backgrounds for great attention to detail; Starlight low-light provides sharp, vivid colors versus traditional black-and-white processing.

Vicon couldn’t just leave the PTZ with powerful imaging. It also includes extensive AI-driven analytics that can be tailored to meet the needs of any operation. Some of these analytics include line cross, loitering, intrusion, object left/removed, and more.

With all of these incredible features meticulously engineered and tested, the Roughneck Pro PTZ is truly an exceptional contender in the NDAA arena.

The Roughneck PTZ is now available for immediate ordering and shipping.

Talkaphone’s new WaveSense technology is designed to reduce bacterial and viral spread in facility entryways. With the WaveSense solution, employees, vendors, and visitors have a touch-free method to initiate two-way communication. 

The technology behind WaveSense is innovative and uses infrared sensors to detect the presence of a person up to 6 feet away. When someone approaches the call station, the sensors activate, allowing for two-way communication without the need for physical contact. This minimizes the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses, making it a smart solution for organizations looking to enhance the hygiene and safety of their facilities.

In addition to new installations, the WaveSense technology can also be retrofitted to existing Talkaphone call stations, including the VOIP-200, VOIP-500, and VOIP-600 Series IP Call Stations. This provides organizations with an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade their existing infrastructure with the latest technology.

Moreover, the WaveSense Contactless Solution can also be integrated with an access control system. This provides a touch-free method for door access, further reducing the risk of bacterial and viral spread.

It is important to note that WaveSense is not just limited to facility entryways. It can also be used in other high-traffic areas, such as elevators, lobbies, and public restrooms.

For new installations, the VOIP-200 Series IP Call Stations are available with built-in WaveSense technology and support audio and/or video provided by the call station. The WaveSense Contactless Solution can also be installed next to existing Talkaphone call stations including the VOIP-200, VOIP-500, and VOIP-600 Series IP Call Stations.

The contactless solution can also be installed independently and interface with an access control system—providing a dry contact for door access or contactless door opening.

Absco Solutions is dedicated to helping organizations find the right solution for their needs.
