The Pelco Sarix Pro 4 Series is the first line made by Motorola since it acquired Pelco in 2022. Motorola aims to "bring Pelco back", as it will be one of just 2 brands they are focusing on in physical security.

However, it has been more than a decade since Pelco was strong in video surveillance. Can Motorola make Pelco competitive again?
