The market for cameras capable of transmitting images over the Internet has entered the growth stage. IP cameras, also known as Internet cameras, network cameras or Internet video cameras, transmit live video images that can be viewed remotely on a computer or Internet-capable cell phone. Relatively low cost and easy to install, network cameras are being used increasingly in the homes, office, factories, schools etc for real-time monitoring, surveillance and security.

Retriva’s Oculars fulfills the requirements of a video management software that is able to retrieve and manage images feeds derived from the (network) cameras. Oculars is currently designed to work with Axis Communication network cameras.

Oculars emphasizes on the usability of the surveillance software or the technically specific term; the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) aspect of video management. Oculars focus on HCI is to allow security guards, business & home owners, school patrons etc with minimal ICT backgrounds to be able to manage network camera software solutions for surveillance and thus allowing the enforcement authorities to focus sublime intelligence and guarding key installations of cities in a country.
