OnSSI Receives Lenel Factory Certification Under OpenAccess Alliance Program

On-Net Surveillance Systems, Inc. (OnSSI) has received factory certification from Lenel under the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program. OnSSI’s Ocularis version 5.1 video management software (VMS) now interfaces with the latest versions of Lenel OnGuard 2013 SP2 and OnGuard 7.0 SP1 to enable seamless functionality between the systems. This certification expands on OnSSI’s previous interface with the OnGuard system and Ocularis, providing customers a more comprehensive and effective physical security system option.

“OnSSI has completed required factory testing at Lenel to validate the functionality of its interface to the OnGuard 2013 and OnGuard 7.0 systems. This certification strengthens the existing relationship between these two technologies, allowing management of multiple cameras and event handling through the OnGuard system,” said Ross McKay, director of product management, Lenel. “We look forward to OnSSI’s continued involvement in the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program.”

OnSSI’s Ocularis offers comprehensive video surveillance and access control event management for streaming, recording and managing an unlimited number of cameras per system with PSIM functionality. Ocularis’ work flow provides a collaborative environment in which video and alerts from across the organization are organized into meaningful events for efficient shared handling and documentation.

“Achieving Lenel certification for Ocularis ensures seamless interaction between the latest versions of Ocularis and Lenel’s OnGuard platform to deliver a comprehensive video security and access control solution,” said Mulli Diamant, VP of International Business Development, OnSSI. “As Ocularis and the OnGuard system are updated, we will continue to work with Lenel to ensure that users can continue to take advantage of the strengths of both solutions.”

Ocularis is offered in three levels: Professional, designed for organizations operating multiple locations with small- to mid-sized camera counts; Enterprise, built for a wide range of mid to large IT-centric organizations; and Ultimate, created for large organizations with extended command and control needs and recording server failover.
