Thanks to its years of experience with PTZ cameras, Videotec has contributed to, and continues to be active in, the development of procedures, especially when it comes to positioning systems for cameras in harsh environments.
Videotec president Alessio Grotto said: "We welcome this important recognition with great joy and satisfaction and we thank Ottavio for his work. Videotec has always recognised the importance of open, standardised procedures to ensure maximum interoperability of video surveillance devices."
