International. OnSSI continues to add powerful new capabilities and enhancements to its flagship Video Management Software (VMS) platform with the release of Ocularis 5.6. This latest release improves overall VMS performance and operator functionality, offers enhanced security with enhanced dual authentication measures, and provides enhanced mobile and web access capabilities. These latest enhancements included in Ocularis 5.6 combine to give users even more power with the best-in-class VMS solution and experience.
"Software vendors face the ongoing challenge of increasing user access and scheduling capabilities while strengthening security measures to help prevent unauthorized access. This latest version of Ocularis achieves both goals while improving overall workflows," said Ken LaMarca, VP of Sales and Marketing, OnSSI.
Ocularis 5.6 strengthens 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. Each Login activity in Ocularis Client is also recorded and auditable for documentation and compliance where applicable.
With the enhanced security measures in place, Ocularis 5.6 also improves operator functionality. For example, operators can now create, edit, save, and delete views directly from the Ocularis Client, giving them the control and flexibility to create the specific views they need to perform their roles and meet their security goals while maximizing effectiveness and efficiency.
The updated Ocularis Client also gives users the ability to view camera names from any number of views that are listed. In addition, the Customer includes a new performance mode that allows you to reduce the scale of the views to improve bandwidth efficiency. In addition, ocularis Client includes a database update to "Select all sources" to export, as well as the additional ability to select audio from a different source when exporting.
Significant changes have also been implemented for Ocularis Mobile, including the ability to display multiple cameras in live mode while disabling the IOS idle timer to ensure continuous remote viewing. System administrators can also designate which specific users and user groups can log in to Ocularis Mobile and Web to control access to video from outside the company's network. In addition, Ocularis Media Server has been further enhanced with architectural enhancements that improve overall performance, scalability, and reliability.
Ocularis 5.6 improves the resilience and overall performance of the system in several ways. Master Core Redundancy (failover) support has been automated, so if Master Core is not available when a user logs in, the user will still be able to access video through Slave Core. Additional performance improvements include Smart Camera drivers for Vivotek cameras, extended support for H.265, and extended two-way audio support.
