OnSSI continues to add new capabilities and enhancements to its flagship Video Management Software (VMS) platform with the release of Ocularis 5.6. This release enhances overall VMS performance and operator functionality, delivers heightened system security with fortified dual authentication measures, and provides enhanced mobile and web access capabilities.
Ocularis 5.6 bolsters system security by allowing administrators to require dual operator authentication when logging-in, along with the ability to specify system permissions for Ocularis Client or Ocularis Web/Mobile. Every login activity into Ocularis Client is also logged and auditable for documentation and compliance where applicable.
Ocularis 5.6 also improves operator functionality. For example, operators can create, edit, save and delete views directly from Ocularis Client, giving them the control to create the views they need to perform their roles and meet their security objectives.
The Ocularis Client also provides users with the ability to view camera names from any number of views that are listed. Additionally, it includes a performance mode that allows larger views to be downscaled for bandwidth efficiency. Furthermore, Ocularis Client includes a database update to select all feeds for exporting, as well as the added ability to select audio from a different source when exporting.
Changes have been implemented for Ocularis Mobile as well, including the ability to display multiple cameras in live mode while also disabling the IOS idle timer to ensure continuous remote viewing. System administrators can also now designate which specific users and user groups can log in to Ocularis Mobile and Web to control access to video from outside the company network. Additionally, Ocularis Media Server has been improved with architectural enhancements that improve overall performance, scalability and reliability.
Ocularis 5.6 improves overall system resilience and performance in several ways. Master Core Redundancy (failover) support has been automated, so if the Master Core is unavailable when a user logs in, the user will still be able to access video via a Slave Core. Added performance enhancements include Smart Camera Drivers for Vivotek cameras, extended support for H.265, and extended two-way audio support.
