OnSSI Partners with Seneca Hardware

  • Oct 03, 2011

OnSSI, a provider of open-architecture, intelligent IP-based video surveillance software, announces the partnership of Seneca 's xVault server optimized for use with Ocularis, OnSSI's flagship video surveillance software. xVault for Ocularis has been custom-configured to comply with the software's specific needs to ensure compatibility for a practical turnkey solution. Seneca pre-installs Ocularis software providing integrators immediate out-of-the-box functionality saving them valuable time and simplifying deployment.

All servers, workstations and storage products are assembled in an ISO 9001-certified production facility and are engineered to meet the necessary demands of video surveillance systems. Seneca’s xVault servers undergo thorough testing to ensure quality and compliance to the high standards for Ocularis.

“Hardware and software are two elements of a single solution in the eyes of video surveillance integrators and end-users,” said Gadi Piran, president and chief technology officer of OnSSI. “Seneca provides an excellent hardware option for customers of Ocularis, and we have worked closely with the company to ensure that the performance of the total integrated solution meets customers' high expectations and maintains the reputation of Ocularis in the market.”

Seneca coordinates with OnSSI to install a customer's chosen version of Ocularis and related software before shipment to the customer site. Taking software installation out of the hands of the integrator eliminates human error and delivers a system that is ready to operate on arrival.

“Our world-class digital security and surveillance engineering laboratory has allowed us to optimize OnSSI configurations to deliver performance that is superior to off-the-shelf solutions at competitive prices,” said Steve Maser, vice president OEM services at Seneca. “We are pleased to be a certified OnSSI partner and look forward to innovating solutions for the digital security marketplace.”

The Ocularis solution by OnSSI is an open-architecture, intelligent IP-based video surveillance platform that is easy to use and provides the functionality and scale to match for any system need. The latest version of Ocularis offers infinite scalability and enables users or integrators to choose among multiple feature sets to match any application.

  • 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.
