“The combination of Bosch cameras and IP devices with ONSSI’s Ocularis video and event management platform provides our customers with the advanced capabilities they need to get the most out of their video surveillance applications,” said Mulli Diamant, VP of International Business Development, ONSSI. “Additionally, by integrating Flexidome IP panoramic cameras with Ocularis, we are also able to provide installers and systems integrators with powerful new solutions they can use to address a greater variety of video applications.”

Flexidome IP panoramic cameras provide a complete 180- or 360-degree overview of an area in a single view. Ocularis performs dewarping on the streams to eliminate video distortion caused by the cameras’ fisheye lenses to produce highly detailed images.

“Our Flexidome IP panoramic cameras provide operators with an overview image of an entire area – eliminating blind spots and improving surveillance operations,” said Brad Eck, Integration Manager, North America, Bosch Security Systems, Inc. “The powerful dewarping capability of Ocularis 5 makes it easier for our mutual customers to gain more insight and intelligence about critical events from their panoramic video images.”

This latest integration is part of a continued partnership between ONSSI and Bosch Security Systems to deliver enhanced capabilities. Ocularis already supports video analytics, as well as the Intelligent dynamic noise reduction (IDNR) feature of Bosch IP cameras, which reduces storage costs and reduces bit rate by as much as 50 percent to relieve the strain on network bandwidth. Other supported features include edge recording to prevent video loss during network outages or server failures, multi-streaming, tamper- and motion-detection and more.
