On-Net Surveillance Systems Inc. (OnSSI), the professional security industry’s leading developer of non-proprietary, open architecture intelligent IP-based video surveillance software solutions, continues to drive the industry’s migration to networked operations with innovative network management solutions. The company’s new software solution – Ocularis – establishes a new platform for IP video surveillance control with unprecedented control and scalability, built around a unique user-intuitive interface. OnSSI’s core expertise in Information Technology (IT) and focus on professional video surveillance applications further differentiates the company from conventional system control solutions and providers. 

 

“The convergence of physical security and traditional IT applications is more than a trend, it is clearly the future of the security industry. It is also no longer a question of when this transition will take place, as it is already in full motion with IP video surveillance and security system deployment experiencing double digit annual growth based on the inherent benefits that networked systems provide,” said Gadi Piran, President and CTO of OnSSI. “OnSSI continues to pursue new ways to help accelerate this process from a true IT perspective with more advanced IP video surveillance management solutions that increase security and response time and reduce operational implementation costs.”

 

With the introduction of Ocularis, OnSSI’s new comprehensive video surveillance management solution, the company is introducing a “new platform for IP video,” according to Mr. Piran. “The functionality of Ocularis’ unique human interface simplifies even the most complex operations. It looks, feels and responds like no other IP video management and control solution.”

 

OnSSI’s new Ocularis IP Video Surveillance Management and Control platform combines an intuitive, advanced human interface, enhanced functionality, and the company’s existing IP Video Surveillance Management solutions into a single suite of products that runs as a unified platform. The innovative non-proprietary, open architecture solution enables integration of comprehensive physical security and video analytic functionality. It allows fewer operators to effectively monitor thousands of cameras in control room and desktop environments, substantially reducing operating costs. With significant advancement in human engineering, Ocularis’ touch-screen, map-based interface delivers powerful investigation tools providing immediate access and response to captured events. This is accomplished with advanced system performance features and functionality to more effectively monitor, analyze, control and record system cameras with unlimited scalability.

 

“The intelligence built into Ocularis crosses several operational parameters,” continued Mr. Piran. “While everything is recorded for archival use, we are focused most on what security professionals need to see at any given moment. By utilizing advanced analytics to detect and filter events, Ocularis employs push technologies similar to those found in diverse IT management and reporting applications. Fewer people are required to monitor live activity as the events that are important and meet established criteria are pushed to the video screen. As a result, clients save money and are more effective. We believe Ocularis may be the tipping point that security professionals have been waiting for in IP video surveillance management that will further accelerate the industry’s migration to networked operations.”
