Reduce Costs and Get Real-Time Monitoring

With an IP video surveillance system like Omnicast, you will benefit from real-time monitoring capabilities and wireless video transfer, always having access to video footage when you need it. And, Omnicast manages multiple resolutions and supports many video compressions including H.264, giving you superior video quality without overloading your network.

Have The Freedom to Choose Your Own Hardware

No need to lock yourself into proprietary solutions. Choosing an open-platform video system like Omnicast allows you to build your onboard video system just how you want it. Select your cameras and servers, or go serverless by opting for cameras with edge-recording capabilities.

Unify Your Fixed and Onboard Systems in One

Imagine following a suspect from the vehicle through the terminal during an investigation or in real-time without switching applications. Omnicast lets you do just that. Manage all your fixed and onboard systems under one platform and get a complete view of what is happening throughout your entire mass transit operation.

Share information across your entire fleet

Whether you have hundreds of vehicles or thousands of cameras, Omnicast can manage it. And, this robust system will allow you to monitor all independent systems as if they were one from your operational control center. You can also share video footage with authorities during emergencies and even access system data from your phone for enhanced situational awareness.

Integrate Video with All Your Business Systems

Integrate Omnicast with GPS and accelerometer systems for vehicle tracking, or incorporate third-party video analytics to be alerted of objects left behind or people crossing over tracks. Use interactive maps integrated into your Omnicast system for ease of navigation and quick access to video

There are two ways to deploy Omnicast in an onboard video transit system. You can either choose the server that best suits your needs and budget, or simply go serverless.

Server-based deployment

How does this work? Choose either IP cameras or analog cameras with IP encoders and connect them all back to your onboard server where video is managed and stored by an Omnicast system. You will then be able to automatically offload the video back to a central server through a wireless network for long-term archiving and video verification.

What’s the result? You get a powerful onboard surveillance system, benefit from added flexibility during future hardware upgrades and run other applications like in-vehicle advertising on the same server.

Serverless deployment

How does this work? Using IP cameras with edge-recording capabilities, you can store video directly on the camera. Omnicast’s Video Trickling feature will then enable the wireless transfer of the video to your central server so you can access recordings from your entire fleet, instantly.

What’s the end result? You get a reliable and advanced IP video management system, reduce your total cost of ownership and save on hardware maintenance for years to come.

Transit authorities worldwide have already deployed Omnicast to help monitor their operations. Here are a few key features of the IP video surveillance system that benefit our customers.

• Get the highest video quality with the support of various compression formats including H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG.
• Configure different video settings for live viewing, remote live viewing, recording, etc., for storage flexibility and bandwidth optimization. 
• Unify all Omnicast fixed and onboard systems under a single virtual system for ease of global live video monitoring and playback, alarm management, and reporting. 
• Configure or trigger alarms based on different events such as when an event is detected and associate each event to specific users and required actions such as acknowledge, forward, snooze, trigger start/stop recording, send email notifications or show the procedure.
• Have access to cameras during live events from hand-held devices such as iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry or Android.
• Provide secure access to the system to law enforcement, first responders and other authorities for enhanced situational awareness in an emergency.
