Third-party offerings include longer video retention times, and wireless systems providing superior image

At ASIS 2012 OnSSI is sharing space with several third-party suppliers displaying solutions to enrich and expand the integration choices for Ocularis customers. OnSSI often collaborates with third-party technology providers to complement the functionality of the Ocularis open-architecture, intelligent IP video platform with additional integration options and capabilities.

New third-party offerings being featured at ASIS include high-performance storage, longer video retention times, and wireless systems providing superior image quality. Other systems enable video interface with IP devices such as point-of-sale (POS) systems and with biometrics systems. A compact edge-based device being shown is suitable for small to mid-sized systems or as an add-on to existing enterprise systems, and a 3D visualisation platform provides operators immersive navigation through three-dimensional environments, including multifocal camera stitching.

“Open architecture and collaboration with third-party vendors expand the benefits of Ocularis to end users,” said Gadi Piran, President and CTO, OnSSI. “Integration of Ocularis with third-party vendors enhances the resulting system to provide additional cutting-edge technologies, including several being unveiled at ASIS.”

• ConvergenceTP, which unifies video surveillance with a variety of IP appliances including point-of-sale (POS) cash registers and automated teller machines (ATMs).
