Ocularis - the platform for IP video management

As the convergence of physical security and traditional IT applications continues to evolve, security professionals require a new set of tools to help facilitate the seamless integration and implementation of legacy and new technology solutions across the enterprise. OnSSI's current market leading IP-based video surveillance solution set continues to evolve with the introduction of Ocularis. Ocularis is a truly innovative IP-based video surveillance management and control software solution that provides the functionality, scalability, and lower total cost of ownership required to move to a truly integrated IP-based security operating platform.


Ocularis is different than traditional video surveillance systems because we approach the application from a true IT perspective, reflected by the open architecture and hardware agnostics of our solution, as well as its extensive software-driven functionality and ease of operation. This provides an ideal gateway for users looking to take advantage of the inherent benefits offered by IP technology using their existing systems, and for new IP based deployments.


The intelligence built into our IP video surveillance management solution crosses several operational parameters. In addition to standard access to video-on-demand, we are focused most on what security professionals 'need' to see and record, versus seeing and recording everything. By utilizing advanced analytics, and Event Fusion, to detect and filter events, Ocularis employs “push” technologies similar to those found in diverse IT management and reporting applications. Thus, alert-based displays are pushed to subscribers on an ‘as needed’ basis. This provides a more pragmatic approach to IP video and integrated physical security systems without any sacrifice of performance or security operations. As a result fewer operators effectively monitor several to hundreds and thousands of cameras in control room and desktop environments, substantially reducing operating costs.


Ocularis’ open-architecture, non-proprietary solution platform supports virtually any IP camera and/or encoder on the market, allows for the utilization of off the shelf hardware, and facilitates the integration of new technologies. Our clients are able to choose ‘best-of-breed’ components as they evaluate and identify the appropriate physical security surveillance solution. These powerful software applications can be combined in any configuration for any size application, with advanced analytics, so users can best manage the functionality of their physical security systems while enforcing security policies. The intuitive user interface enables all users to realize the tremendous productivity and performance enhancements delivered by Ocularis.


Ocularis is a continually evolving needs-based intelligent IP video surveillance solution set meeting our clients’ requirements today, and assuring their ability to move forward in the future.


Ocularis, OnSSI’s intelligent IP video surveillance management platform, represents a quantum leap in video detection, analysis, delivery and response.

Ocularis, OnSSI’s flagship product, is an open-architecture, non-proprietary, video-centric PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) software platform that allows you to view, manage, and record video from an unlimited number of IP and non-IP video surveillance cameras. Ocularis enables you to manage short and long term video storage, and correlate and fuse video and non-video events and alerts, resulting in automatic video delivery to subscribers of interest. Optional Ocularis Add-On modules, and 3rd party applications, enable you to extend the functionality of your Ocularis solution.


Ocularis provides one of the most advanced, intuitive and user friendly unified client applications to access video and event information, either on-demand or as a result of events. It is also compatible with OnSSI's prior generation NVR and management solutions, providing a seamless migration path for current OnSSI users.
