This enables organisations to unify a site’s security and monitoring, and create mobile and first-person viewpoints which add contextual detail to footage.

Onstream is a software interface that integrates Edesix Videomanager with existing video management systems (VMS) for fixed IP camera networks. This new software enables ONVIF compliant video management systems to be compatible with Edesix body cameras, streamlining the management of footage for users. Cameras integrate seamlessly with Videomanager and leading CCTV video management systems, meaning captured footage can be instantly shared and viewed by security staff.

“Fixed security cameras connected to a VMS is a powerful tool for monitoring and securing many different environments, from retail floors to distribution centres,” explains Richie McBride, Managing Director of Edesix.

“Onstream, in conjunction with Edesix’s Videomanager software, enables any ONVIF compliant VMS to be unified with Videobadge and Videotag cameras to provide unparalleled detail of incidents as they unfold. This software furthers the potential of your VMS, protects valued staff, and captures concrete and secure footage for future review. It enables immediate response by control rooms and later review by supervisors. It also means live streams can be recorded as evidence, which can then be securely shared with third parties, including the police. The service is fully encrypted with audit trails to protect the evidential quality of footage stored.”

McBride adds: “Edesix body worn cameras are capable of streaming live video and audio feeds from multiple perspectives and viewpoints to a control room, whilst simultaneously recording footage in HD quality locally to the device for the creation of complete evidence packages.”
