The company, which positioned most of its surveillance solutions under the Siqura brand name, made the change official on 1 April.
“Optelecom-NKF has always been an adept player in the global industry of video networking, both through its innovative IP solutions as well as its established and extensive fiber optic line,” Tom Overwijn, CEO of Siqura and TKH Security Solutions USA, said.
“In becoming a member of TKH Group and giving our company two different names, we are able to promote Optelecom-NKF’s promising potential in ways that better ensure the success of our customers.
“TKH Security Solutions USA will be an accessible portal through which the entire range of solutions comprised in the TKH security sector will become available in the Americas.
“Throughout the rest of the world, the now well-known Siqura name will continue to safeguard and endorse our longstanding commitment to quality and reliable surveillance solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers and partners. Through this merger and name change, we expect to more effectively serve and benefit our customers and the industry.”
Seawolf product
Its latest cameras have been fitted with image sensor software from Pixim, dubbed the Seawolf.
They have been designed to give ‘superior performance in extreme lighting and low-light conditions’, and 690 HTVL effective resolution.
Solution rocks around the clock
Using the traditional box-style housing, Siqura’s BC14 Seawolf image sensor uses Pixim’s Digital Pixel System technology, which processes each pixel individually. The camera, built with line wide dynamic capability as well as has been designed not smear, bloom, or generate color noise, Siqura said.
A spokesman for the security company said: “its images are extremely clear in both indoor and outdoor applications. This makes the Siqura BC14 ideal for applications using video analytics algorithms, such as automatic incident detection. Moreover, video codecs can take advantage of the Siqura BC14’s progressive scan output for smooth motion video without the need for deinterlacing.
The camera can be powered from AC or DC, and can be accessed remotely via RS-485 or up-the-coax systems, while users are able to optimise the imaging controls or configure features such as privacy masks.
