Ocularis-X User Guide
Introduction
Ocularis-X provides full framerate video from multiple megapixel cameras over limited bandwidth connections.
Ocularis-X brings the experience of desktop video surveillance to browsers and mobile video clients. With the
increasing popularity of bandwidth intensive megapixel cameras, web and mobile users face the need to compromise
either on the number of cameras viewed (often limited to a single camera), the quality of the video or the smoothness
of the video delivered. This can result in choppy, low framerate live viewing and playback.
Ocularis-X, an add-on to Ocularis, delivers up to nine HD video streams simultaneously using OnSSI’s HDIS (High
Definition Interactive Streaming) technology. Frame rates up to 30 frames per second can be delivered over limited
bandwidth networks such as 3G, 4G and broadband.
Ocularis-X extends the look and feel of OnSSI’s award winning Ocularis Client to web browsers and mobile devices. It
allows security personnel in the field to perform live monitoring and synchronized playback of multiple megapixel
cameras through a standard web browser.
Ocularis-X Components
There are two components to Ocularis-X. One is the Ocularis-X Server, which typically resides on a stand alone
server and is used to communicate with an installation of Ocularis Base. The second is the Ocularis-X Client. This
client is used to view the video delivered by Ocularis-X and can be used on any number of devices or platforms.
Ocularis-X works with Ocularis Base versions 3.0 or later.
The Ocularis-X Client works with a standard web browser. It is run by logging into a website on the Ocularis-X Server
which subsequently logs into Ocularis Base. Ocularis Base authenticates user credentials and permissions and
passes the appropriate video streams from the recorder(s) to the Ocularis-X Server to be transcoded and sent to the
requesting Ocularis-X Client. The device using
Ocularis-X Client
may be inside or outside the local area network.
