Feeling Software’s patent-pending 3D algorithms, such as its 3D Video Fusion and Fast Track, present operators a realistic view of their facility. The 3D Fusion allows operators to see many videos at once in their actual locations. “It feels more like flying over a facility and seeing through the roof,” explained Laforte. “A standard GUI shows an abstract interface. When people solve problems or monitor and investigate a complex situation, they don’t think in terms of 2D floor plans or individual cameras. They think in terms of real-world objects (their facility) and threats.”

Omnipresence 3D is integrated with OnSSI’s Ocularis Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) platform. The 3D map interface of Omnipresence 3D is combined with the live and archived video from Ocularis to provide a solution with an enhanced level of situational awareness.

Additional features such as 3D pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) tracking and Fast Track (the ability to go from camera to camera with one click) “are the features that make the difference between eye candy (a simplistic 3D map) and actually delivering operationally useful benefits such as monitoring many cameras at once, more easily time-tracking suspects across cameras, and more,” confirmed Laforte.
