Feeling Software Releases Omnipresence 3D Pro Design

  • Jul 22, 2010

Feeling Software has announced the latest product in its Omnipresence 3D suite of advanced physical security applications. Designed for architecture and engineering firms, security integrators and security directors, Pro Design provides a new approach to surveillance planning using 3-D floor plans and maps.

Using Omnipresence 3D Pro Design for surveillance planning, countless hours spent back-and-forth between the facility and the office are eliminated. With instant 3-D previews of what each camera covers, planning can now be accomplished more effectively from the comfort of one’s desk.

For instance, Omnipresence 3D Pro Design helped identify the optimal location of more than 300 cameras at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal, a large Canadian University. The new 3D Pro Design tool provides system integrators and site engineers the ability to move, add or configure cameras incredibly fast, which saves time and money.

“At our most recent project, we spent almost two weeks of full-time work to define the exact positioning of cameras in several buildings. However, when we started using Omnipresence 3D Pro Design, we averaged two hours per building that averaged 100 cameras each,” said Daniel Jeanson of SGPTI, the integrator for the Ecole Polytechnique project.

“This is a tool that quickly pays for itself, in time saved” said Christian Laforte, President of Feeling Software. “Security budgets today are tight, so Pro Design makes sure that you are getting the most out of your cameras’ viewing zones, before a penny is spent on hardware or installation.”

Each Omnipresence 3D Pro Design license includes 40,000 square feet of custom 3-D mapping.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • 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.
