Press Release: Basler IP Cameras Supported by LuxRiot
Basler and LuxRiot
Ahrensburg, February 18, 2009 – Basler Vision Technologies has teamed with LuxRiot to present their combined solution for IP video surveillance management. All Basler IP megapixel camera models are supported by LuxRiot’s IP video surveillance management software.
Customers can choose from five different LuxRiot versions, ranging from Personal to Enterprise. The versions vary in the number of allowed cameras and remote client connections, as well as in some features. They all have the same user-friendly interface and are upgradeable from a lower to a higher version. On the camera side, customers can choose from three different models with one to two megapixel resolutions. A bundle of the latest technologies tailors these cameras for excellent image quality and outstanding reliability. Customers can also benefit from the flexibility of their image compression abilities.
“The integration with LuxRiot is another puzzle piece in our continuous efforts to increase the number of compatible software products. LuxRiot is an experienced company offering a user-friendly software product and great service. It is a pleasure to work with them”, states Gerrit Schreiber, Product Manager, Basler Vision Technologies.
“We are more than excited to add support for the Basler megapixel cameras,” says Frank Calipari, LuxRiot’s Sales and Account Manager. “Our technical team finds that Basler’s device can be easily managed by any end user.

Press Release: StarDot Megapixel IP Cameras Integrated into LuxRiot DVR Software
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20080908006603/en
BUENA PARK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–StarDot’s megapixel IP cameras have been integrated into the LuxRiot video recorder software. StarDot Technologies, a manufacturer of megapixel IP video cameras and servers, specializes in hybrid IP video products designed to ease the transition from analog CCTV cameras to the world of IP cameras. LuxRiot is a Digital Video Recording (DVR) software package designed by A&H Software House, Inc. DVR software is the next step in security camera recording technology, replacing current standalone hardware DVRs and older VCRs.
The NetCam SC megapixel cameras provide up to fifteen times the resolution of even the best analog CCTV cameras. The video clarity goes beyond high definition and is excellent for facial recognition and capturing license plate data.
“One of the biggest concerns about migrating to megapixel camera technology is the amount of bandwidth used,” said Vance Kozik, StarDot’s product manager. “The NetCam SC camera employs video-on-motion, which puts the motion detection technology at the edge, eliminating the need to continuously send video of an empty scene across the network. The LuxRiot software takes full advantage of this technology, which not only reduces bandwidth but also reduces the CPU load, allowing the software to record additional cameras.”
“LuxRiot is excited to add support for the StarDot megapixel cameras,” said Frank Calipari, LuxRiot’s sales manager for Europe. “StarDot’s cost-effective technology solves even the most difficult image capture problems. LuxRiot is looking forward to working with customers using StarDot devices.”
In addition to video-on-motion, the LuxRiot DVR software also supports visualization of NetCam’s motion and control over resolution, quality and frame rate though the LuxRiot software interface.
