Hello All, I am aware of sightlogix but are their any others?

The goal is to be able to do Geo-based visual tracking.

Thanks Greg. So this is Geo pointing only, correct? Are you able to share the MSRP for PTU-E46-17?

Sorry, there is a sales person for it named Lisa.  There are many versions based on requirements.

I don't sell it, I just get asked about it often.

I may be taking the simplistic approach, but wouldn't panning/tilting/zooming to a target area be set up as part of a tour or PTZ alarm presets? In that case, GPS coordinates would be an aid to the techs setting up the presets, not something intrinsically required in the camera.

Usually when people are referring to this functionality it is in reference to a PTZ that is used in conjunction with some other sensors (video analytics, ground radar, etc) which can identify a target and calculate GPS coordinates of the target. Those coordinates are fed directly to a PTZ, or through some VMS application, which can then compute a P/T/Z position for the PTZ to center on the target and get more detail.

In the IPVM Camera Calculator example below, the green camera would be a PTZ (as well as a 'spotter' camera itself), if the fictitious video analytics application running on these 4 cameras (3 fixed, 1 PTZ), spots a person on the golf course after hours it would compute the GPS coordinates of the person and send that data to the PTZ or VMS. Then the GPS coordinates would be used to move the PTZ to the location of the person to get increased detail for the guards monitoring the system.

Not sure of your exact application, but if you have a radar we can offer Slew-to-Cue tracking of targets with our long range PTZ cameras.

Yes. We have a radar that can do that. What is your contact info?
