Access Client Overview
OnSSI provides two client solutions types – browser-based remote monitoring via NetGuard, and application-
based (i.e. client software is installed on user’s computer) via Ocularis Client Lite and NetGuard-EVS. In
addition, video can be monitored and controlled via NetPDA and NetCell, OnSSI’s portable (handheld)
clients.
Ocularis Client Lite, OnSSI’s new, high-performance client, provides an array of features beyond those
included in NetGuard-EVS. NetGuard-EVS can be used in parallel with or in place of Ocularis Client Lite.
Server-End Access through OnSSI Video Clients
The Image Server
Recordings viewed by Ocularis Client Lite, NetGuard and NetGuard-EVS users are provided by the
NetDVMS surveillance system's Image Server. The Image Server runs as a service on the NetDVMS server;
it does not require separate hardware.
The system administrator uses the
to manage Ocularis Client Lite,
NetGuard and NetGuard-EVS access to the surveillance system.
Download Manager
All three video clients – Ocularis Client Lite, NetGuard-EVS and NetGuard – can be downloaded through the
download manager. The welcome page will list the available clients and language versions.
The system administrator uses the
to control which clients and language versions should
be available to users on the welcome page.
Access Through NetPDA/NetCell Client
Use of the NetPDA/NetCell Client requires that a matching NetPDA/NetCell Server is installed on the
surveillance system.
The NetPDA/NetCell Server is installed on an Internet Information Services (IIS) server, and is used as a
front-end to the NetDVR system's Image Server, on which user rights are defined.
The NetPDA/NetCell Server handles login and session requests between the NetPDA/NetCell Client and the
Image Server. The NetPDA/NetCell Server also handles resizing of surveillance video to fit the screen layout
of the NetPDA/NetCell Client.
