OmniCompressor overview

The Omni product family

One compression engine, packaged for live video, recorded video, satellite links, telecom streams, still images, medical scans, drone video and 5G edge computing.

OmniCompressor

Real-time video compression with encryption. It takes the stream from any camera and shrinks it before it travels.

90%less bandwidth and storage

Works on top of existing H.264, H.265 and MJPEG feeds, including 4K and 1080p
Adapts automatically to the network it is on
Streams live over 3G/4G/5G, private femtocell, Tetra and radio, and satellite
Lower latency, with built-in AES-256 encryption
Compressed feeds play in any video management system

Key capabilities and operational benefits

90% bandwidth and storage reduction

Compresses real-time video by 90%, cutting what you need for edge storage, central storage and network bandwidth.

Edge and central recording

Built-in recording at both edge and central nodes, with full web-based NVR functions and operational features co-developed with US law enforcement agencies.

Tamper-proof edge storage

Stored footage stays fully encrypted and unreadable, even if devices are stolen or compromised.

FIPS-validated encryption

Video transmissions are protected with FIPS 140-2/3 validated 256-bit key encryption over public and private networks.

Interleave algorithm

A unique agency-based "Interleave" algorithm makes packet transmission more stable and reliable on noisy, high-jitter networks.

Better central AI analytics

Less network congestion and frame loss means high-fidelity video reaches central AI engines. Smaller payloads also speed up AI processing and improve accuracy.

MFA and access control

Multi-factor authentication and granular user roles enforce strict security and support audit compliance.

Future-proof codecs

Supports MJPEG, H.264 and H.265 today, plus next-generation codecs such as AV1, to protect your long-term investment.

Omni Secure Gateway

An edge box that takes in camera streams, compresses and encrypts them locally, and sends them to the data center with no open ports and no standard protocols on the wire.

90%additional compression, even on H.265

Accepts MJPEG, H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) from any standard camera
Compresses without lowering resolution or dropping frames
Encrypts and stores video locally the moment it arrives, so a stolen unit cannot be read
No ONVIF discovery, no RTSP streaming and no open web configuration on the local network or WAN side
Runs on Linux-based Intel or NVIDIA Jetson hardware

The edge processing pipeline

OmniCompressor-Embedded engine

Takes the incoming codec, even highly optimized H.265, and applies an additional 90% compression without lowering resolution or dropping frames.

Anti-theft local encryption

The stream is encrypted instantly and saved to local storage. Because the encryption is proprietary, the data stays protected even if the physical unit is stolen.

Interface stripping

The edge device closes all traditional listening ports. Nothing is exposed to the local network or the WAN side.

Dark WAN transmission

Zero open protocols

Instead of RTSP or HTTP packets, which can be intercepted, mapped or exploited through known vulnerabilities, the gateway wraps compressed data in a secure, dark container.

Invisible in transit

To a packet sniffer the transmission looks like random cipher blocks in an encrypted tunnel. It does not respond to port scans, so the route is hidden from perimeter attacks.

OmniStream

A video optimization toolkit for the high storage and bandwidth cost of high-resolution video. It produces standards-compliant, ultra-compressed files without compromising visual fidelity.

90%file compression with under 1% perceptual quality loss

License plates, faces and fast-moving objects stay sharp and usable as evidence.

Lower storage costs. Keep footage longer in the cloud or on premises without buying more hardware.
Less bandwidth. Stream over cellular, satellite or remote networks with files 90% smaller.
Standards compliant. Output plays without special decoders or proprietary players.
Security first. Runs offline as a native Windows application, so sensitive footage stays in your secure environment unless you authorize otherwise.

Compression or speed

A dual-mode engine lets you favor maximum compression or the fastest processing, depending on how urgent the job is.

Light and portable

No bloatware and no server-grade graphics hardware needed. Runs natively on Windows.

Where it is used

Smart city surveillance

Compress archived footage by 90% and store up to ten times more video on existing servers, for deeper retrospective analytics and longer evidence retention.

Tactical and field operations

Compress drone or bodycam footage in seconds and send it over limited or degraded satellite links.

Corporate archives

Cut recurring cloud storage fees by compressing legacy and high-resolution footage to sub-gigabyte sizes with no visible loss.

OmniMedia

Compresses IP VoD telecom MPEG-TS streams and simplifies delivery to over-the-top boxes.

Compress at the edge. Watch anywhere.

Omni sits between your cameras and your network, so the data is small before it travels. Your cameras, links and viewing software stay as they are.

Any camera

Feeds in H.264, H.265, MJPEG or a smart codec go straight in. No camera replacement.
Omni at the edge

OmniCompressor shrinks the video in a rugged box, a PC, an embedded board or the camera itself.
90% smaller
Any narrow link

Cellular, private radio, satellite or a congested network. Video stays encrypted end to end.
AES-256
Command center

Video is decoded and recorded, then viewed on PCs or a video wall through any VMS.

Remote site, one rugged box

For investigative and field units. A small rugged box beside the camera compresses the feed, which crosses a 3G, 4G or 5G link at 90% compression to PCs and a video wall.

CameraRugged box with OmniCompressor3G, 4G or 5G WANPCs and video wall

Multi-camera site

For ports, critical infrastructure and special services. Many cameras feed OmniCompressor, which compresses and records on site. A decoder at the command center decodes and records again.

CamerasOmniCompressor and recorder3G, 4G or 5G WANDecoder and recorder

A command center with a wall of video screens and operator desks — Compressed feeds arrive at the command center and play in the VMS you already run.

Any codec in, any VMS out

Inputs can be any codec, including smart codecs. Compressed feeds can be viewed by any video management system.

Centralized or distributed

Run the compressor and decoder in one device, or put them in different places.

Built to keep working

Recordings stay protected if a device is stolen, links are made more robust with interleaving, and the design avoids a single point of failure from camera to command center.

Built by people who ran security and defense systems

SCS developed its own neural-network compression algorithm for real-time video. It was selected by federal and national police agencies after jitter and noise testing.
