“Clearly, 360-degree cameras provide increased surveillance area coverage, but the images can be difficult to view without dewarping solutions,” said Mulli Diamant, VP of International Business Development, ONSSI. “With the integration of Acti’s dewarping plug-in, images from their wide angle cameras can be more seamlessly integrated onto our Ocularis 5 VMS platform.”

The Acti plug-in allows Ocularis users to dewarp images to receive distortion-corrected live video from Acti 360° cameras for better comprehensive viewing of a surveillance scene. Stored 360-degree streams can also be dewarped for situations such as forensic investigation of video in case of emergency. Additional key features of the integration include digital pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ), quad and panoramic views, and multi-view streaming with dewarped views.

“ONSSI’s high-performance Ocularis 5 VMS significantly expands Acti’s ability to deliver comprehensive video surveillance solutions,” said Jessica Ho, Software Integration, Acti Corporation. “Ocularis 5’s open platform provides us with seamless compatibility to deliver a powerful and cost-efficient surveillance solution for a multitude of applications.”
