Surveillance enhanced with smartphone

Integration between OnSSI’s Ocularis video management software (VMS) platform and the Elerts software solution enables security personnel to receive immediate, actionable incident information via smartphone.

Integration between 677 OnSSI’s Ocularis video management software (VMS) platform and the Elerts software solution enables security personnel to receive immediate, actionable incident information via smartphone. On receiving an incident report, the Elerts cloud-based software matches the GPS location of that smartphone with a database of camera field of view polygons. Information is instantly sent to Ocularis, which then automatically pushes live footage from the camera closest to the incident to a command centre or other display.

OnSSI claims the Ocularis-Elerts integration delivers a solution that enables better, faster communication of incidents, saying the open architecture of Ocularis enables them to work closely with developers of industry-leading technology to create practical and useful new applications for video management solutions.

    Enhancements to the Digital Ally DVM-250Plus Video Event Data Recorders (VEDRs) now enable the recorder to utilise up to eight different cameras while maintaining a dual recording feed. Users can customise the automatic record triggers to activate specific cameras, providing the best angle for each type of event while minimising video file sizes and making current or post-event review easier. The automatic trigger can also activate the integrated monitor hidden behind the glass of the rear-view mirror, esp

With millions of commuters relying on their services daily, mass transit agencies are faced with the unfortunate reality that their operations are susceptible to threats. A single incidence of unauthorised access to restricted areas and buildings could be the catalyst to damaged property, endangered lives or other unfortunate events. Unlike an international airport

    October 26, 2017
    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so
