Demonstrating a new commitment to IP-based video surveillance, GE Security has acquired intellectual property and video systems technology from CoVi Technologies. The former CoVi team, best known for developing cutting-edge high-definition surveillance systems, will remain based in Austin, Texas, with its technical support, product management and engineering employees joining GE Security. Anticipating rapid growth in the areas of high-definition and megapixel surveillance cameras, GE now has the technology and an experienced engineering team to further explore that market.
GE Security has unveiled the latest version of its CyberDome II camera line. The GE CyberDome II PTZ is designed to be a cost-effective solution for continuous video surveillance in locations such as schools, airports, stadiums, and retail outlets. Enhancements to the GE CyberDome IP camera include more options for different types of lighting conditions, improved indoor and outdoor housings, and expanded third-party compatibility.
Along with pulling off a surprising march to the AFC East division title, the Miami Dolphins’ successful football season also included an upgrade to their stadium surveillance system. The Dolphins recently deployed an IP-based video security system to monitor Dolphin Stadium. The system features IP video products from GE Security, and is used to protect and enhance the game-day experience of the 900,000 fans who pass through the gates during the regular season, playoffs, and other large events held at the venue each year.
