OnSSI Integrates VMS with Lextech Labs' iRa C3 Mobile Video Surveillance Application

OnSSI has announced that its flagship video management platform, Ocularis, has passed Lextech Lab’s compatibility testing. As a result, Lextech’s iRa C3 mobile video surveillance application will support OnSSI’s software and meet the mobile viewing requirements of the security and law enforcement industry.

“The successful integration of iRa C3 further extends OnSSI’s user base,” said Mulli Diamant, vice president of sales for OnSSI. “In addition to the obvious benefits of heightened situational awareness, being able to use a video surveillance system in conjunction with today’s most widely used mobile devices capitalizes on a user’s investments in IP-based systems.”

Using Lextech Lab’s mobile video surveillance application, iRa C3, users can access and control multiple video feeds, as well as view recorded video in a split-screen format on an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch or Blackberry mobile device. The application allows the iRa C3 to log in to the OnSSI system for quick and portable viewing and control of cameras located anywhere on the network.

“Pairing the functionality of OnSSI’s platform with iRa C3’s intuitive mobile video interface broadens the value of an OnSSI investment by extending back room systems into the hands of a new user. Not only do those new users now have access to critical video anytime, anywhere, they are also inventing ways to use the video,” said Alex Bratton, founder and CEO of Lextech Labs.

OnSSI’s Ocularis IP Video Management solution is an open-architecture, non-proprietary software platform that allows viewing, management and recording of video from an unlimited number of IP and non-IP video surveillance cameras. Ocularis also allows for video storage management and can correlate and fuse video and non-video events and alerts resulting in automatic video delivery to subscribers of interest.

  • 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.
