Pelco
Open-platform CCTV hardware since 1957, built to integrate rather than lock customers into a closed ecosystem.
Pelco is one of the oldest names in CCTV, tracing back to 1957 in Fresno, California, and has passed through Schneider Electric and private-equity ownership before Motorola Solutions acquired it in 2020 — placing it alongside Avigilon in Motorola's video security stable. Pelco's core proposition for integrators is an open-platform philosophy: intelligent IP cameras, AI-enabled sensors and specialty devices designed to interoperate with third-party VMS and access control rather than forcing a closed ecosystem, which matters on mixed-brand retrofit jobs common in commercial and government contracts.
Its camera lines cover fixed, PTZ and panoramic form factors with onboard analytics for perimeter and object detection. A long deployment history at high-profile sites reflects a reputation for rugged, serviceable hardware and well-documented parts support on long-lived installations.
