Vicon unveils video surveillance system controller

May 13, 2009--Vicon Industries Inc. has introduced a new surveillance system controller that offers compatibility with both traditional Pilot matrix switching systems and ViconNet digital video management systems. It may also be used with ViconNet's Virtual Matrix Controller that simulates the operation of a crosspoint matrix system.

The V1500X-SCCS controller, housed in a modern silver enclosure, features a touch-sensitive LCD screen that provides control of the various systems through the use of changing menus that vary by mode. A joystick, jog/shuttle wheel, and traditional keypad work in tandem with the touch screen. The unit provides the ability to select cameras, monitors, presets, tours and salvos and to control standard PTZ, lens, auxiliary relay, lens speed, auto-pan and auto-iris functions. Up to eight macros can be set and recalled, each featuring up to 32 steps.
