• Video Verification - OzVision security solutions seamlessly integrate with most of the industry’s on-premise alarm panels. Service providers can now use OSN video to verify an alarm, and avoid false alarm penalties and lost productivity. The central station operator can remotely view real-time activity on premise, whether triggered by alarm or during a scheduled look-in. Additionally, they can simultaneously view up to four video streams to check for false intrusion alarms.

• Customer Access – An important goal of OSN is providing a positive user experience by enabling access to powerful, yet easy-to-use, video monitoring tools by central station operators and the end-user customer (through a central station-branded site). Through Microsoft Internet Explorer, users can access SecureView, the OSN web-based interface, which features four active video windows that allow the operator to view live and recorded streams at the same time.

• Security and Encryption - OSN has two levels of protection. The first firewall opens only the ports required to connect. The user database is then protected behind a second firewall on a separate local area network to limit access for passwords and administration. The video streams are encrypted using the strongest encryption algorithm available today, the Advance Encryption Algorithm (AES 128).

• Offsite Recording - OSN stores video off-premise that can be scheduled on continuous record or by time, event, motion or relay by the user or the central station, with real-time images available 24 hours a day. This capability provides a distinct advantage over digital video recorders (DVRs) that are traditionally housed on-premise and are at risk of being stolen or vandalized.
