Introducing the Pelco Sarix Modular Camera

Flexible, Smart, and Discreet Security Solutions

Security challenges require adaptive solutions, particularly in environments where space is limited and discretion is crucial. The new Pelco Sarix Modular Camera, available from MCA and our partner Pelco, offers a versatile, intelligent, and low-profile security solution designed for seamless integration into any security infrastructure. With its interchangeable form factors, AI-powered analytics, and flexible deployment options, the Sarix Modular Camera delivers unparalleled performance in a compact design.

Flexible Deployment for Any Environment

The Sarix Modular Camera is engineered for spaces that require unobtrusive yet effective surveillance, such as:

  • ATMs and bank counters
  • Retail checkout areas
  • Casino gaming tables
  • Building entrances and elevators
  • Police interview rooms

Its customizable design allows for one or two imager modules to be connected to a single processor unit, with flexible mounting options that ensure optimal coverage of critical areas. The modular components can be placed in different orientations, capturing the best views without being obtrusive.

Smart Analytics Powered by Motorola Solutions

Equipped with Pelco Smart Analytics, powered by Motorola Solutions, the Sarix Modular Camera provides real-time object detection and classification, even in crowded or complex scenes. Its intelligent features include:

  • Detection of people and vehicles with high accuracy.
  • Loitering detection, alerting security teams to unusual behavior.
  • Object counting provides insights into foot traffic or occupancy.
  • Directional violation alerts identify objects moving in restricted directions.

These analytics help improve response times, enhance situational awareness, and streamline forensic investigations.

Optimized Performance with Smart Compression

The Sarix Modular Camera utilizes H.264 and H.265 Smart Compression Technology, optimizing video storage while maintaining high quality. Adjusting compression levels for different regions within a scene reduces bandwidth usage and storage costs, making it an efficient choice for high-volume surveillance needs.

Durable and Reliable Design

Built for indoor and outdoor use, the Sarix Modular Camera is:

  • IP66-rated for dust and water resistance (available on the Micro Bullet imager module).
  • Wide Dynamic Range (up to 120 dB) ensures clear images even in challenging lighting conditions.
  • Aluminum body and stainless-steel housing provide durability in high-traffic or harsh environments.
  • Operating temperatures range from -30°C to 60°C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme conditions.

Seamless Integration with ONVIF-Conformant VMS

The Sarix Modular Camera supports ONVIF Profiles S, G, T, and M, ensuring easy integration with:

This ensures that your existing security infrastructure can easily incorporate the Sarix Modular Camera, providing scalable and future-proof security solutions.
