American Dynamics Adds Industry’s Fastest PTZ to HD Camera Line

High-Speed Illustra 625 HD PTZ ideal for accurately tracking criminal activity in retail environments

WESTFORD, MA. August 1, 2013 –– American Dynamics, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco (NYSE: TYC), has introduced the Illustra 625 PTZ High-Definition (Full HD) IP camera, designed for retail applications where locating, tracking and zooming in on subject details are critical. The high-performance Illustra 625 is the fastest HD PTZ on the market, delivering crystal clear images quickly, whether used in live monitoring or in forensic investigations.

Based on latency testing standards used by the U.S. Air Force and NASA, the Illustra 625 PTZ camera delivers analog-like precision without compromising megapixel resolution. The Illustra 625 PTZ sets a new standard for low latency response. It has tested 20%-30% faster than the major competition and represents a quantum leap in bridging the performance of analog PTZ with 1080p megapixel resolution. This helps loss prevention professionals precisely follow subjects through a store, warehouse or loading dock and apprehend them before they remove merchandise from the premises, falsify trip and slip claims, or participate in other criminal activities. Fast and accurate tracking can mean the difference between making a handsome profit and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars each year through theft.

The Illustra 625 HD PTZ camera actively modulates the pan and tilt speed in proportion to the amount of zoom used and surpasses the maximum speed and return-to-position accuracy of competitive HD PTZ cameras.

“The exceptionally low latency for controlling an analog PTZ camera that retailers have grown accustomed to was our benchmark in developing the Illustra 625 HD PTZ camera”, said Joel White, senior product manager for American Dynamics. “With the new Illustra PTZ, retailers can more accurately track individuals to aid in the reduction of shrinkage and other criminal activity which will strengthen their bottom line and ultimately improve the overall customer experience.”

American Dynamics provides a superior end-to-end solution with Illustra IP cameras and the VideoEdge video management system, and is available through our worldwide channel of dealers and integrators.
