Complete Customizability
The Vega is our most customizable camera system and can be designed to accommodate multiple sensors, special cabling requirements, specific video outputs, weight restrictions, power restrictions, control APIs, custom paint colors, and much more. Let us know your project requirements and we’ll do everything we can to meet them. See the images below for examples of various Vega builds.
Rugged and Robust
The Vega is comprised of military grade, precision engineered components and manufactured using unique processes to offer absolute performance. It uses military-style connectors to supply power, video, and communication over a single cable, increasing reliability and the amount of time required to install the system. The pan/tilt is MIL‑STD‑810F/G tested and is sealed to a minimum of IP66/67 making it water and dust proof. It is able to withstand temperatures from –50°C to +65°C and uses a tough anti-corrosion finish for operation in the most brutal and harsh climatic conditions.
Remote Connectivity and User Friendly
The Vega can be viewed remotely in real-time from anywhere in the world on a PC using Infiniti’s VMS or web client, or on your mobile device with our iPhone or Android apps. It is also controllable by touch screen, mouse, VMS systems, DVR/NVR or PTZ joystick.
Octagon Platform
The Octagon Platform HTTP API is an IP interface for accessing Ascendent and Infiniti Octagon platform devices. This API acts as a unified point-of-contact for client software and services to access the sensors and devices within a system. The goal is to provide consistent, logical, and reliable connectivity to our web server(s) that exposes deep integration capabilities while simplifying interactions with our multi-faceted architecture.
Communication is also available via Serial, using the industry-standard protocol Pelco‑D. This performs regular PTZ operation of the devices with the standard command set. It exposes advanced and peripheral functionality via a list of ‘Special Function Presets’, for any commands not available natively in the Pelco‑D specification.
