2 Jun 2012 Opgal Optronic Industries announced that it had entered into a strategic partnership with Ngaro Intelligent Solutions. This agreement, which is a key component in Opgal’s European expansion, creates a new breed of security cameras providing unparalleled performance. The result is notable reduced cost and complexity for both perimeter and site security and surveillance.

Perfecting its image processing capabilities for 30 years, Opgal’s innovative thermal imaging solutions are recognized for its unparallel image quality and strong signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These features enable Ngaro’s market leading analytics algorithms to provide detection, surveillance and control functionality -far beyond what one may expect from intelligent surveillance systems based on infrared imaging. One immediate benefit is that customers are able to secure a variety of sites at a substantially lower cost.

The combined Opgal and Ngaro platform offers a unique solution to Spanish security forces, security service companies, fire departments, nature reserve management entities and civil protection forces. Moreover, Ngaro’s intelligent surveillance and control systems complement Opgal’s thermal cameras to deliver intelligent solutions to Spanish and global system integrators. “Opgal’s image quality enables us to offer a high-quality, high-accuracy, comprehensive product portfolio addressing key requirements of the security market,” said Alvaro Mocholi, International Sales Manager of Ngaro. “Our customers are seeking innovation led smart cameras that can be tailored for cost and performance requirements. We look forward to a successful partnership.”

“We are excited about our partnership with such an outstanding and well-respected technology provider in Spain,” said Yair M. Sakov, Vice President of the Security Business Unit at Opgal. “Ngaro’s product architecture and independently operating modules enable the design of a variety of solutions to protect infrastructures, facilities, processes and people against terrorism, theft, sabotage, fire, intrusion or any other type of threat which is identifiable by its thermal signature.”
