Embedding the Video Synopsis module from Briefcam inside the Ocularis Client provides significant advantages when compared to a VMS solution that is simply integrated. With the embedded solution, the customer saves the cost of acquiring additional dedicated hardware needed to run the Video Synopsis application. Even more significantly, the Video Synopsis application runs inside the Ocularis viewing client as an embedded video, similar to the other video surveillance camera streams, rather then in a separate window running as a separate application.
BriefCam's Video Synopsis is a proprietary image-processing technology that creates a summary of original full-length surveillance video and gives users the ability to review hours of footage in just a few minutes time. Video Synopsis enables the rapid review and indexing of captured video footage -- with an index to the original source video; real-time video feed online and archival video footage offline -- for on-the-spot event tracking, forensics and evidence discovery. BriefCam can provide a complete representation of all events occurring during 24 hours of video footage in a condensed clip, as short as a few minutes long. The synopsis is made possible by simultaneously presenting multiple objects and activities that have occurred at different times.
