Pleora Technologies Inc. is a leading supplier of Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connectivity solutions for high-performance machine vision, broadcast video, and security/surveillance applications. The company was founded in 2000 by George Chamberlain and Alain Rivard.

Pleora offers a broad portfolio of hardware and software products for streaming video and imaging data in real-time over standard GigE networks. It specializes in high-value, performance-oriented solutions.

In 2002, Pleora was first to market with GigE connectivity products for the machine vision and surveillance/security markets. The company's flagship family of iPORT IP Engines quickly attracted - and continues to win - the lion's share of GigE business in these sectors. The engines are used in such applications as industrial inspection, post and parcel sorting, high-end surveillance, homeland security, X-ray systems, and intelligent traffic monitoring.

In 2003, Pleora teamed with other industry leaders to form the GigE Vision Standard initiative. Now managed by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA), the initiative is defining an open GigE transport platform for vision applications.

In 2004, Pleora expanded into the video-over-IP sector with innovative products that exploit off-the-shelf GigE networking equipment to drive cost and complexity from video distribution networks.
