Ocularis redefines the way surveillance video is accessed, monitored and investigated. With simple map-based navigation and advanced human engineering (patent pending), Ocularis' enables operators to reach proficiency within minutes of training. It's as easy as touch, drag, slice and send.
Camera and camera group icons, within scalable, linkable maps, allow easy navigation to cameras and sites, with no need for camera or location codes.
Any camera or camera group can be instantly sent to any display or video wall, local or remote simply by dragging its icon to the desired panel.
Instant camera or camera group previews allow you to view camera streams that were sent to remote video walls or monitor displays, complete with full playback and PTZ control (optical and digital).
Investigation
Camera views seamlessly transition between playback and live monitoring, and can be investigated using optical and digital PTZ into both live and recorded video.
Drag the kinetic timeline to instantly access a recorded event, and apply the most sophisticated Motion Smart-Search algorithm - even within digitally-zoomed recorded images.
Ocularis' Smart Search can be configured for motion sensitivity, size of object, and time spacing, greatly reducing false detection rates.
Ocularis' revolutionary Time Slicing (patent pending) feature enables immediate access to recorded events. Automatically generated time-interval thumbnails allow drilling down in time to identify the exact moment an event occurred. In seconds you can access events, apply digital PTZ and motion detection, export a video clip and distribute it to law enforcement and other users.
Allow access to alerts and video sequences of incidents generated by content analytics, access control, physical security, and point of sale systems.
Open Architecture
Ocularis' open-architecture technology enables the integration of best-of-breed video intelligence, physical security, IT and POS systems.
Video content analytics applied to both live and recorded video provide automated detection of multiple targeted events and behaviors.
Alerts from disparate security systems, or composite alerts generated by Ocularis' Event Fusion functionality, are automatically pushed to command centers and users' video clients for shared event handling. By receiving filtered, events-only video, fewer operators are needed to monitor a far greater number of locations, greatly reducing costs while improving overall efficiency.
Ocularis' open APIs and the optional Software Development Kit (SDK) enable seamless connection with video content analytics, access control, fire alarm, POS and other physical security and IT systems.
The Ocularis platform supports practically every IP camera and encoder model by all leading manufacturers, and all common compression formats - MJPEG, MPEG4, H.263, Wavelet and H.264* - enabling you to retrofit your existing analog installation, and providing the most flexibility in camera selection
Video Wall Add-On
The Ocularis Video Wall add-on allows control of an unlimited number of video walls and remote displays anywhere on the network, all from the Ocularis Client's intuitive, map-based controller interface.
Replaces bulky analog multiplexing hardware with efficient virtual video matrix switching software
Ideal for enterprise-scale command and control centers, central station and remote alarm monitoring operations
Push any camera stream to any display simply by dragging camera or camera group icon to the video wall panel
No need to remember camera, server, site or display codes
Requires minimum training to proficiency
Significantly reduces operating costs.
Control camera streams pushed to remote or public displays with optical and digital PTZ
Instantly investigate and export video for evidence
Events generated by analytics, access control or transaction systems sent automatically, on-event, to any desktop display or video wall, together with graphical and/or textual metadata describing the event.
Accommodates any number of cameras, displays and simultaneous operators at multiple sites
Operators have access to common dynamic events list for shared notification, reviewing, commentary and confirmation/acknowledgement of events.
OnSSI's video content analytics modules support cameras with on-edge analytics capabilities.
Multiple detection rules can be applied to individual cameras.
Analytics Add-Ons
Ocularis Video Content Analytics enable the accurate detection of movements and behaviors, both human and vehicular, corresponding to highly configurable rules
Fewer operators than ever before can efficiently monitor larger camera arrays
Analytics-generated alerts can be pushed automatically to users' Ocularis Video Clients and/or video wall displays
Graphical metadata overlays indicate object or movement that triggered the event
Multiple rules, for a variety of behaviors, can be applied to a single camera Complex detection. Scenarios can be created by linking analytics rules, based on a predefined sequence of events
Ocularis Analytics integrate with cameras and video encoders which perform the analytics processing on-edge
Fully scalable, with no limit on the number of connected cameras, analytics modules per camera or analytics servers
Event Fusion capability enables generation of composite alerts by linking analytics-generated events to events generated by third-party access control, transaction or other system
Meeting the needs of a wide range of industries and organizations, Ocularis Video Content Analytics detection rules include:
Crowding
Tailgating
Loitering
Grouping
Object Counting
Stickiness
Moving Water Vessel
Suspicious (Abandoned) Object
Illegally-Parked (Stopped) Vehicle
Road Obstacle
Object Removal
Asset Protection
OnSSI's video content analytics modules support cameras with on-edge analytics capabilities.
Multiple detection rules can be applied to individual cameras.
Ocularis' open APIs and the optional Software Development Kit (SDK) enable seamless connection with video content analytics, access control, fire alarm, POS and other physical security and IT systems.
Shared Event Handling
With Ocularis, your surveillance system can be controlled from multiple locations with unlimited redundancy, even on multiple networks.
Automated, on-event push-video to users' Ocularis Clients or video wall displays, as well as manual (peer-to-peer) push-video, enable efficient 'blank screen monitoring'.
All operator locations, from desktop-based to command center video wall, are connected to a common dynamically-updated alerts database, allowing shared handling of events and greatly enhancing productivity.
Video of alerts, corresponding to a video content analytics rule, an access control card swipe, motion detection or other, can be launched directly from the Alerts List at each operators' Ocularis Client. Based on authorization, users can change the alerts status, add tags, classification and comments, and further investigate the incident.
Ocularis Clients' graphical bookmarking enables users to bookmark video segments of interest, to be included in a case file. Video clips of bookmarked video can then be exported as still images, distributable AVI file or multi-camera secure video database for court evidence.
Analytics
Delivers accurate, automated detection of incidents with video pushed on-alert to users' video client displays or video wall monitors.
Provides audible alerts to assure that incidents never go unnoticed.
Allows monitoring and managing alerts from any number of cameras by fewer operators, greatly reducing costs while improving overall efficiency.
Provides detection and analysis of industry-specific motion and non-motion patterns, for transportation, security, retail, education and more, including:
Crowding
Tailgating
Loitering
Grouping
Moving Water Vessel
Suspicious (Abandoned) Object
Illegally-Parked (Stopped) Vehicle
Road Obstacle
Object Removal
Asset Protection
Supports cameras with on-edge analytics capabilities.
Allows multiple detection rules for individual cameras.
Event Fusion
Event Fusion enables easily combining events generated by two or more disparate systems for further filtering and qualification of alerts, reducing overall false-positive detection rates. For example, by combining data received from a video content analytics tailgating module and an access control system, it is possible to detect 'legal' tailgating instances, saving the need for further investigation.
