Video Surveillance Control

Directed Perception Inc. introduces its PTU-DGPM Geo-Pointing Module. The module provides automated aiming of attached pan-tilt units using standard geo-coordinates — latitude, longitude and altitude. The device includes a built-in Web interface for configuration and accepts commands over an Ethernet/IP application interface.

The unit is calibrated using a simple landmark process. Once installed, applications can send latitude, longitude and altitude coordinates to the unit and the module will automatically aim the attached pan-tilt unit (with camera, laser, antenna, or other equipment) at the specified location. Commands can be broadcast to multiple units to coordinate aiming multiple sensors at a single location automatically.
