New York Jail Upgrades To Hybrid System Using OnSSI Technology

  • Apr 26, 2010

Facing the need for a scalable system with video recording and archiving, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office in New York has updated its county jail’s video surveillance system with a hybrid analog/IP system that includes Ocularis Recorder NetDVMS and Ocularis Client software from OnSSI.

Ocularis allows jail personnel to access video and recordings at almost every workstation on the network, and can expand as the facility and need grows.

The old system used black-and-white cameras controlled by a matrix switch and had no recording or archived video storage. Since the original system was not scalable, over the years several more small systems had been added. With the new system featuring Ocularis and NetDVMS software, Wayne County has a scalable platform that provides the video storage needed along with real-time views of inmates, visitors and personnel. The sheriff’s office is also planning to use OnSSI to replace outdated map control boards completely so they will be able to control all functions with the Ocularis platform.

“Wayne County’s forward-thinking approach is creating a system that will serve them well into the future. They’ve really embraced the ability of IP technologies to deliver vastly improved functionality,” said Gadi Piran, OnSSI's president and CTO. “In choosing OnSSI, Wayne County is going to leverage the value of video to mitigate liability issues related to disputes with inmates and boost the effectiveness of security and building management.”

Jerry Boublis, sales engineer for Securitronics, worked closely with Sheriff Barry Virts and Maj. Lester Carr to understand their needs and then called on the additional expertise of product engineers and sales reps to design the system. Adam Williams, sales representative for The Atkins Group, provided conceptual design, specifications, commissioning for the completed project and client training.

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
