Omnicast open and distributed architecture gives you ultimate system flexibility. You can set up your video system over the network the way that suits your organization best. You can leverage existing hardware and infrastructure investments and cut costs. You can even choose from a myriad of third-party solutions to enhance your video surveillance system.

High Availability and Security

High-end redundant and failover archiving features in Omnicast ensure that your system is online and recording at all times. You can count on having live and recorded video available to your team when you need it most. Password-protected logins, encrypted communications, and other security features ensure there is no threat of system or video tampering.

Ease of Use and Installation

Because Omnicast Enterprise was made specifically for large-scale applications, installation is simplified. IP unit discovery tools and setup wizards ensure deployment is quick and upgrade downtime is minimal. Simplicity also extends to the user interface. Being part of Genetec’s Security Center unified security platform, Omnicast offers avant-garde operator tools for quick decision making and a smooth learning curve.

Remote Site Expansion

Features

Omnicast Enterprise is packed with powerful features. Here are few IP video surveillance features that will strengthen your large-scale IP security system.

Federation: Bring together multiple independent Omnicast systems under a single virtual system for ease of global live video monitoring and playback, alarm management, and reporting across all time zones. Federation can be used to tie in Omnicast Standard and Pro systems as well.

Multicasting: Allow many users in various locations to view the same video feed simultaneously, without overcrowding the network, by using the bandwidth of each network segment only once.

Multistreaming: Configure a camera’s multiple video streams for specific video usage, such as live viewing, remote live viewing, recording, etc., for storage flexibility and bandwidth optimization.

Metadata Engine: Receive correlated real-time or archived information from Omnicast and other third-party systems such as video analytics, access control, and points-of-sale solutions.

Security Center Mobile: Connect back to your security platform over any IP wireless network and remotely monitor and control your systems with BlackBerry®, Apple® and Android-compatible devices.

Active Directory Integration: Centralize the management and synchronization of Windows user accounts with Omnicast’s user accounts and provide single sign-on capabilities.

Failover and Redundancy: Ensure access to all live and archived camera feeds using Omnicast’s failover and redundancy servers, even in the event of a failed component.

Software Development Kit (SDK): Integrate building management systems, intrusion and fire detection systems or develop custom business applications with a mature software development kit.

Plan Manager Feature  

Plan Manager is an interactive map-based command and control feature of Genetec’s IP video surveillance system, Omnicast. Operators can create and integrate interactive maps into their video surveillance system to efficiently manage their security environment including multi-site and multi-level maps, cameras, encoders, and other solutions, such as sensors and video analytics systems.

Beyond the capabilities of a regular map feature, Plan Manager offers customers multiple options for controlling video image display including advanced navigation tools, various methods of organizing maps and incorporating predefined or operator-defined high-security zones called hot spots. At the mouse-click of one of these hot spots, Plan Manager will automatically prompt the closest cameras to pan, tilt and zoom to the requested area and display the videos of the zone.

 Other functions that make Plan Manager a must-have feature for larger installations:

  • Easy mouse-controlled navigation
  • Quick access links to different building levels or other maps
  • Bookmarked favorite views
  • Multiple map display options
  • Advanced search functionalities
  • Alarm triggering
  • Possibility for custom integration

Ultimately, Plan Manager ensures that operators are working at their peak level of efficiency, enhancing the overall response to critical situations.
