mobiDEOS Integrates with OnSSI for IP VMS Applications

  • Mar 04, 2015

mobiDEOS announced that its ONVIF-compatible, IP- and cloud-enabled surveillance platform, UCNE, now integrates with Ocularis 4.1 video management software (VMS) solutions from OnSSI.

Ocularis, OnSSI’s flagship IP video surveillance and security platform, combines powerful network video recorders (NVRs) with physical security information management (PSIM) functionality. The latest generation of the brand offers five models for streaming, recording and managing cameras across organizations of any size or structure.

The integration of Ocularis with UCNE ensures that video images from any analog camera or DVR can be obtained and stored for network-based VMS applications. mobiDEOS’ open-systems approach ensures a plug-and-play transition to IP and cloud-based VMS applications for Ocularis users, at the lowest possible cost (one-quarter of the industry average) for technology and systems integration.

Moshe Levi, product manager, OnSSI, stresses its relationship with mobiDEOS is ideal for its customers based on both companies’ hardware- and software-agnostic integration strategies. Levi adds that its customers in transportation, education and law enforcement facilities will particularly benefit from the integrated solution.

“In the VMS universe, most manufacturers sell their own appliances that force customers into proprietary systems with limited options for pricing and scalability,” said Levi. “OnSSI provides the option to Mix & Match different recorders within the greater VMS architecture, thereby lowering the cost and even enabling the customer to tailor the system to specific sections of a deployment. And with our integration to mobiDEOS’ UCNE encoding platform, our customers aren’t forced into an immediate, all-at-once transition. They can test the IP waters and migrate as gradually as they please, leaving as many existing analog channels intact for any length of time.”

mobiDEOS has been gradually incorporating more cloud technologies from its surveillance ecosystem into UCNE. Most recently, the company announced support for video verification solutions. This simplifies how alarm dealers work with central monitoring stations by leveraging the end user’s investment in existing analog systems.

“Our integration with OnSSI ensures that users are not burdened by expensive video encoder costs to leverage the power of IP for the analog infrastructure they currently have,” said Sri L. Palasamudram, chief executive officer (CEO), mobiDEOS. “This is especially important as it gives customers the freedom, flexibility and higher video quality that comes with IP-based VMS, without a massive upfront investment.”

  • 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.
