Scallop Imaging D7-180 Camera Integrated with Avigilon Control Center Video Management Platform

BOSTON and VANCOUVER, June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Scallop Imaging, the market innovator in high resolution, panoramic video cameras, and Avigilon (TSX: AVO), a leader in high-definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance solutions, today announced the integration of Scallop Imaging's D7-180 camera with the Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management platform. The D7-180 generates seven megapixel resolution across a panoramic, 180 degree field of view, and features H.264 compression and Power over Ethernet (PoE). The ACC software, with High-Definition Stream Management™ (HDSM) technology, delivers full situation awareness and indisputable image detail, delivering faster response times, reduced investigation times, and superior overall protection.

"The Avigilon Control Center platform captures, manages and stores high-definition, multi-megapixel surveillance video while efficiently managing bandwidth and storage. By integrating Scallop Imaging D7-180 cameras with ACC, businesses can now choose to deploy Scallop Imaging's patented distributive imaging technology with Avigilon's intuitive video management software," said Peter Jones, President of Scallop Imaging.

"At Avigilon we pride ourselves on our openness and ease of integration. Our partnership with Scallop Imaging is a testament that we easily integrate with leading manufacturers," said Keith Marett, vice president of marketing and communications at Avigilon. "This partnership will allow users to easily access and search video generated by Scallop Imaging's cameras."

Scallop Imaging's D7-180 seven megapixel digital camera distributes the imaging task across multiple, small image sensors, processing over 100 megapixels per second to calibrate, synchronize and merge video in real time. The result is two simultaneous video streams: a 720p HD stream composed of a true 180 degree, non-fisheye, situational awareness view at 15 frames per second, and up to four instantly repositionable zoom windows at full pixel resolution at 15 fps; and a full resolution (5120x1280 pixels) video stream at one fps.
