Dave Stanfield: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here. I’ve been with Pelco for more than 14 years, holding positions in Product Management, Product Marketing and International Business Development. My current role is as Senior Product Marketing Manager for the product lines we call positioning systems. Effectively my position is to manage the messaging for systems that can be remotely positioned. This includes such iconic brands as Spectra and Esprit, and includes the new high-definition PTZ dome Spectra HD.
SecurityStockWatch.com: What are the trends you’re seeing in HD video and how does Spectra HD satisfy these needs?
Dave Stanfield: Customers are demanding end-to-end, high-definition IP video security systems, so that is clearly the direction the industry is moving towards. For Pelco, Spectra HD represents the final piece of our end-to-end HD solution so now our customers have access to a complete offering that includes megapixel fixed cameras, HD monitors and video management systems like as Endura and DS-NVs.
