Intelligent, Automated Video Surveillance for High-Volume Roadways, Bridges, Tunnels and Toll Plazas
The high stakes and enormous complexities in monitoring and securing transportation facilities require a higher magnitude of size, power and sophistication than practically any other industry. OnSSI’s Intelligent IP Surveillance Solutions, providing automated detection, intelligent video delivery and unlimited scalability, have proven to be the platforms of choice for larger-scale integration in roadway, toll plaza and traffic control deployments.
The Challenge
The prevalence of IP Video technology has shifted the challenge from capturing video to extracting meaningful information out of volumes of video content, received from thousands of cameras in multiple sites and facilities – effectively, accurately and in real time.
Accidents in tunnels, stalled vehicles in unmanned toll lanes, acts of vandalism or a car driving in the wrong direction down the highway – for all, the process of detection, content analysis, push-video delivery to the control center, alerting responders and video-assisted response has to be streamlined to the second.
Automated detection – OnSSI’s Network Video Recorders (NVRs) provide powerful native video motion detection (VMD). For event-specific detection, users can choose between many available content analytics modules including directional movement, unattended object/vehicle detection, theft detection, license plate detection, unauthorized parking/standing and many more.
Built for Convergence – OnSSI’s IP Video Platforms were designed from the ground up for interoperability with external security and IT systems (access control, contact closure switches, roadside emergency phones, loop detectors and others) for immediate response to events and exceptions, whether received from external systems or self-generated.
Powerful investigation and evidence extraction tools – Taking full advantage of megapixel, 360-degree and other specialty camera technologies, OnSSI’s NVRs and video clients enable PTZ investigation into recorded images from long stretches of roads, bridges and tunnels. Tamper-proof evidence can be then extracted, and exported on-the-fly. OnSSI’s Universal Camera Support practically every camera and encoder by all leading manufacturers - allows integrating both best-in-breed and legacy analog equipment.
Unparalleled Access to Video OnSSI enables delivering video of any event – live or recorded – to whomever needs it, wherever, whenever. OnSSI offers an unmatched array of powerful tools for accessing video, answering every need or situation:
- Web Access - Using the NVR Web Server, security and law enforcement personnel can access cameras directly from their cruiser-mounted laptop and investigate an event, with no software download required.
- NetPDA - Toll Plaza security personnel are able to access video and control cameras via their handheld PDA clients, with PTZ and advanced playback control.
- NetCell - State DOT officials can view any camera located at any bridge or tunnel directly from their Windows® CE/Mobile-powered cellphones.
- NetGuard-EVS Remote Client - With up to 64 cameras per display monitor, intelligent viewing features and advanced after-the-fact investigation tools - including synchronous playback of all cameras, PTZ into recorded images and graphical events timeline - the bridge site manager can monitor hundreds of cameras, or review and investigate an accident from his office PC, and easily export video for court evidence.
- NetSwitcher - At the District, County or State level, cameras located at multiple transportation facilities and sites can be viewed and controlled using the NetSwitcher centralized, 100% end-to-end IP Command and Control Center video wall management platform. NetSwitcher supports an unlimited number of cameras, controllers and display monitors, with Push Live Video and Black Screen Monitoring features, as well as advanced camera control and playback investigation capabilities.
Automated Video Delivery A key component of OnSSI’s Intelligent Viewing model is instant, streamlined notification and distribution of events. In case of an accident or any event that requires response, authorized personnel, as well as law enforcement users, will receive not only emails and IM alerts - the event will actually be pushed to their PC monitor or wireless laptop as a popup live video window, for video-assisted response.
Optimizing Your Resources and Infrastructure OnSSI’s IP-based solutions allow you to take advantage of your existing IP network infrastructure, saving you the need to run dedicated coaxial or fiber optic cables for video applications. What’s more, OnSSI non-proprietary technology provides universal camera and hardware support - thus reducing your investment in hardware, sharply improving system reliability and uptime, and significantly saving on maintenance.
Protecting Your Investment In today’s dynamic IT environment, choosing a future-proof solution is key. OnSSI’s optional Software Upgrade Plans (SUP) allow you to stay ahead of the curve at all times, preserving the value of your investment, and avoiding any “forklift upgrades” typically used by old-school DVR manufacturers.
The Choice of Security and IT Professionals OnSSI’s Video Delivery Solutions have been chosen by dozens of tunnels & bridges, light rail, toll systems, airport, traffic control and state transportation authorities nationwide, and have been installed in more citywide deployments than any other IP Surveillance Software platform, with proven results.
