Samsung Techwin America's Cameras Integrate Ocularis

  • Dec 03, 2010

Samsung Techwin America, a global supplier of video surveillance and security products, has announced the integration of Samsung network video cameras with the Ocularis IP video management software platform from OnSSI.

This integration incorporates the image quality and advanced functionality of the company's line of network cameras with the Ocularis video management software. Ocularis enables users to monitor and manage events from multiple vendors' security products under a single umbrella.

“Meeting our customers’ needs is our No. 1 priority. This integration increases the value proposition for both Samsung and OnSSI by combining the strengths in each respective portfolio,” said Frank DeFina, Samsung Techwin America’s senior vice president of sales and marketing North America. “Two basic components of an effective video system are superb image quality and easy access to video when and where it is needed. Together, OnSSI and Samsung provide this combination.”

OnSSI's non-proprietary software platform enables the user to benefit from the capabilities of cameras as part of a networked video system. The investigative capabilities of OnSSI’s software allow users to review captured video in detail, analyze it frame-by-frame, fast-forward or view events in a compressed timeframe.

“A core feature of Ocularis is its open architecture, which gives us the opportunity to work with technology leaders like Samsung,” said Gadi Piran, president and chief technology officer, OnSSI. “Image quality is at the core of any video surveillance system, and Samsung brings quality and value to the equation.”

Samsung supplies advanced video surveillance solutions for IP-video, analog and hybrid systems. As a subsidiary of a $117 billion international market maker, Samsung is committed to the continued development of innovative systems products for professional security applications.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
