Zaun
buys CCTV expert
The founders of EyeLynx, Jay M Patel
and Francisco Feijoo, have delivered
comprehensive solutions using their
SharpView software and have
collaborated with Zaun for more than
two years, making the purchase the
natural next step forward for both
companies.
Zaun co-founder and director Alastair
Henman said: ‘They are great guys with
an exciting product and the synergy
with customers is plain to see, so we
look forward to helping the tie-up to
thrive.
‘We are giving them all the support
they need to develop state-of-the-art
perimeter protection solutions that
integrate with Zaun’s fencing products.
As well as growing EyeLynx, this moves
Zaun towards an integrated perimeter
security systems offering.’
EyeLynx, which has offices in Chessing-
ton in Surrey and Zaragoza in Spain,
has created SharpView, the highest
performance system for HD, MegaPixel
CCTV. Built-in capabilities for Video
Content Analysis mean that SharpView
is also the smartest recording and
management system in the security
industry.
EyeLynx’s Pharos system is the only
true Rapid Deployment High
Definition (HD) surveillance system
on the market with Edge Recording
Cluster ERCTM capability to
incorporate an intelligent recorder,
management software and wireless
communications all in the same unit.
Using the SharpView recording engine,
Pharos can accommodate multiple
slave PTZ cameras of any make con-
nected into the master.
Cameras record HD 24/7 and when-
ever the perimeter is compromised or
a potential intruder approaches too
close to the fence, Pharos will send a
snapshot alert to the control centre for
visual verification – or even to assigned
personal mobile devices, such as
the police chief or nearest constable to
the breach.
Zaun and EyeLynx have developed a
rapid deployment CCTV tower with
embedded cabling and an integrated
power cabinet in the post base to
enable quick and easy on-site
deployment without the need for
heavy machinery.
With the lowest power consumption
in the market, remote connectivity is
achieved over wireless 3G or 4G and
only the master unit needs a SIM card,
which beams the video
intelligence to a workstation or mobile
device into which anyone authorised
can dial-in to view live footage, or
rewind and replay from any of the
cameras.
