Edesix, the body worn camera (BWC) company, is showing its new camera streaming gateway software, ONStream, at the ISC West 2018 exhibition. The annual show runs in Las Vegas from April 11 to 13.
ONStream integrates the company’s wearable cameras with Video Management Systems (VMS) traditionally used for viewing footage from fixed IP cameras. This new software enables ONVIF compliant VMS to work with body worn cameras. Cameras integrate with VideoManager and some CCTV Video Management Systems, meaning captured footage can be hared and viewed by security staff.
Richie McBride, managing director of Edesix, says: “Body Worn Cameras have been proven to help improve the safety of those in public facing roles, whilst producing compelling legal evidence when needed. One of the most important recent innovations in the body worn camera market has been the ability to integrate the cameras with existing video management systems, enabling organisations to unify a site’s security and monitoring system, and create mobile and first-person viewpoints and add contextual detail to footage.
“Fixed security cameras connected to a Video Management System are a powerful tool for monitoring and securing many different environments, from retail floors to distribution centres. By integrating wearable cameras, it gives security teams the ability to view unparalleled detail of incidents as they unfold. Our software furthers the potential of VMS, protects valued staff, and captures concrete and secure footage for future review. It enables immediate response by control rooms and later review by supervisors. It also means live streams can be recorded as evidence, which can then be securely shared with third parties, including the police. The service is fully encrypted with audit trails to protect the evidential quality of footage stored.”
