Is Pelco still manufacturing cameras?

Yes. Pelco was acquired by Motorola Solutions in 2020 but continues to manufacture the Spectra Enhanced PTZ line, Sarix Professional and Enhanced IP cameras, and VideoXpert VMS. Motorola Solutions has expanded Pelco's distribution and support network while maintaining the product engineering roadmap.

What's special about Pelco Spectra PTZ cameras?

Pelco invented the modern outdoor PTZ dome camera, and Spectra Enhanced 7 is the seventh generation of that original platform. Spectra cameras have metal-body mechanics, heavy-duty gear trains, and duty cycles rated for continuous patrol operation — which is why transit authorities, casinos, and airports continue to specify Spectra for critical PTZ positions.

How long does Pelco support cameras after end-of-sale?

Pelco supports cameras for 15-20 years past original ship date — unusually long for the IP surveillance industry. The company still provides firmware updates and service parts for Spectra III and IV cameras deployed 15+ years ago. This long-support posture is why Pelco is specified for infrastructure buyers on 20+ year asset cycles.

Is VideoXpert required, or can I use another VMS?

VideoXpert is Pelco's enterprise VMS but is not required. Pelco cameras support ONVIF Profile S and G for integration with Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon ACC, Exacq Vision, and others. VideoXpert is typically specified for large-scale transit, gaming, and city-wide deployments where its distributed architecture and N+1 redundancy match operational requirements.

Are Pelco cameras NDAA Section 889 compliant?

Yes. Pelco is a U.S.-based manufacturer (now part of Motorola Solutions) and all Pelco cameras are NDAA Section 889 compliant and manufactured outside of restricted countries. Pelco is an approved supplier for U.S. federal, state, and critical infrastructure projects.

What's the difference between Sarix Professional and Sarix Enhanced?

Sarix Professional is the general commercial tier — fixed domes, bullets, and box cameras with 140 dB WDR, Smart Compression H.265, and standard IR. Sarix Enhanced is the premium tier with ruggedized housings, heavy-duty power options, and specialty features like integrated audio analytics — designed for harsh environments like transit platforms, loading docks, and industrial facilities.

About Pelco

Pelco was founded in 1957 and is now part of Motorola Solutions following Motorola's 2020 acquisition. Pelco's product heritage is rooted in heavy-duty PTZ dome cameras and enterprise matrix switchers, and the modern catalog reflects that pedigree — Spectra Enhanced PTZ cameras are industry benchmarks for 30x optical zoom range and ruggedized housings, while the Sarix Professional and Sarix Enhanced fixed camera lines bring Pelco engineering to dome, bullet, box, and multi-sensor form factors.

Pelco VideoXpert is the company's flagship video management platform, designed for large enterprise deployments — transit authorities, casinos, airports, petrochemical facilities, and city-wide surveillance systems. VideoXpert integrates with the full Pelco camera range plus ONVIF Profile S and G cameras from third-party manufacturers, and supports hybrid analog-to-IP migrations via Pelco encoders for legacy CCTV assets.

Pelco's core market differentiator is enterprise longevity — the company still maintains firmware and service for Spectra III and IV PTZ cameras deployed 15+ years ago, making Pelco a preferred choice for facilities with 20+ year asset lifecycles and zero tolerance for sensor replacement cycles.

Where Pelco Fits

Pelco fits enterprise deployments where asset lifecycle extends beyond typical commercial timeframes — transit systems, casinos, airports, ports, petrochemical facilities, municipal-scale surveillance, and large corporate campuses. Pelco is also a default choice where PTZ range, duty cycle, and ruggedization matter more than the lowest per-camera cost — Pelco Spectra cameras still outperform lower-tier PTZ products on mean time between failure and long-range tracking accuracy.

Why Choose Pelco

Pelco invented the modern outdoor PTZ dome and maintains the industry's longest continuous PTZ engineering program — Spectra Enhanced 7 is the seventh generation.

20+ Year Asset Lifecycle

Pelco maintains firmware, service parts, and warranty programs for cameras 15-20 years past ship date — critical for infrastructure buyers on long-cycle budgets.

VideoXpert Enterprise VMS

Purpose-built for transit, gaming, and city-wide deployments — handles multi-thousand camera counts with distributed architecture and built-in failover.

Motorola Solutions Support

Full Motorola Solutions service network including on-site engineering, system commissioning, and multi-year managed service agreements.
