Oncam Announces Integration with AMAG Technology

  • Apr 07, 2015

Oncam, the security division of Oncam Technologies and leading provider of 360-degree camera technology, announced today a new integration for its patented dewarping camera technology with AMAG Technology’s Symmetry platform.

The SDK integration allows AMAG’s Symmetry Security Management System customers to take advantage of Oncam’s dewarping capabilities from the client perspective, giving end users the ability to flatten the hemispherical images that are produced by the 5 megapixel, 360-degree Evolution camera series. These advantages apply to both live and recorded video, affording clients ultimate flexibility and image clarity for situational awareness.

“Oncam’s integration with AMAG allows joint customers to realize greater situational awareness and enhanced image quality benefits from Symmetry’s virtual matrix, which displays up to 36 cameras per viewing monitor with display options that include panorama 180º and 360º camera views,” said Jim Murray, senior product manager-video, AMAG Technology. “Oncam’s 3D de-warping technology, combined with Symmetry’s full integration with access control and alarm notifications, ensures that end users can cost-efficiently provide a well-rounded, advanced security system.”

Oncam’s 360-degree surveillance technology solutions give end users the ability to monitor an entire 360-degree field of view, with no blind spots. This allows organizations to be prepared for every eventuality.

“The ability to flatten video using 3D rendering on recorded video is important for end users looking to gain greater situational awareness of any given scene,” said Jeremy Gaylor, director of partners and integration, Oncam. “The AMAG integration will also enhance many of the advanced features of the Evolution cameras, such as multiple orientation support for wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted orientations, dual stream support and audio recording. We are excited to be able to deliver new levels of functionality to our customers through the integration of leading software providers in today’s market.”

AMAG Technology will have an Oncam 360-degree camera on display at their booth #8053 during ISC West 2015, April 15-17, at Sands Expo in Las Vegas.

  • 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.
