Now any individual with a smartphone can be an active participant in maintaining a more secure environment. When an individual with a smartphone submits an incident report using the Elerts application, 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.

“The Ocularis-Elerts integration delivers a solution that enables better, faster communication of incidents,” said Gadi Piran, President and CTO, Onssi. “The open architecture of Ocularis enables us to work closely with developers of industry-leading technology to create practical and useful new applications for video management solutions.”

“The Elerts system, in combination with Onssi Ocularis video management software, creates a breakthrough in usefulness for a surveillance network,” said Ed English, CEO, Elerts. “We’re pleased to work with Onssi to empower this new technology.”
