All Star-Navi XHC Series surveillance cameras now support ONVIF and PELCO protocols with AES128 encryption, a 64-channel VMS client, and single-channel web browser access.
Interoperability has become a deciding factor in fixed surveillance procurement as integrators consolidate cameras from multiple product lines onto shared video management infrastructure. A sensor that speaks a proprietary protocol, however capable its optics, adds integration overhead that programme offices increasingly refuse to absorb. Star-Navi has moved to close that gap across its entire XHC Series camera line with a coordinated protocol and security update.
ONVIF and PELCO Compliance Across the XHC Line
All XHC Series surveillance cameras now support the ONVIF standard alongside the PELCO pan tilt control protocol, allowing the full product line to interoperate directly with third party video management systems and control keyboards already deployed at customer sites. Video and command traffic across the line is now secured with AES128 encryption, addressing a requirement that has moved from optional to mandatory across border security and critical infrastructure tenders over the past two procurement cycles.
VMS and Web Browser Client Options
Two client applications accompany the update. A dedicated VMS super night vision computer client allows an operator to manage up to 64 camera channels simultaneously from a single workstation, suited to control room deployments overseeing layered perimeter or border networks. For smaller installations or field verification tasks, a web browser client provides direct single channel access to an individual camera without requiring the full VMS software stack, giving technicians and site supervisors a lightweight path to check status or adjust settings from any networked device.
Focus Control for Field Maintenance
The update also extends automatic focus control and electronic focus control across applicable XHC Series models, with the corresponding hardware version selected at order time to match the deployment requirement. Both modes are aimed at reducing the debugging and maintenance burden at installation, allowing focus to be verified or corrected without the manual mechanical adjustment that longer focal length cameras have historically required after mounting.
Fleet-Wide Rollout
Because the protocol, encryption, and focus control updates apply across the XHC Series rather than a single model, customers operating mixed XHC deployments gain a consistent integration profile across their entire camera fleet without needing to manage per-model exceptions. Star-Navi is making the updated firmware and client software available to existing customers and distributors through its standard support channels, alongside full ONVIF and PELCO compliance documentation for system integrators planning new VMS integrations.
