Fat video over skinny links.

OmniCompressor cuts surveillance, satellite, telecom and medical imaging data by 90%. It works with the cameras you already own, and it encrypts everything with AES-256.

5partner products shipping with SCS compression

Three global partners developed OmniCompressor into cameras, body-worn systems and recorders, and many large systems integrators deploy it.

The Omni product family

One compression engine, packaged for live video, recorded video, satellite links, telecom streams, still images and medical scans.

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.

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.

  1. Any camera

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

  2. Omni at the edge

    OmniCompressor shrinks the video in a rugged box, a PC, an embedded board or the camera itself.

    90% smaller
  3. Any narrow link

    Cellular, private radio, satellite or a congested network. Video stays encrypted end to end.

    AES-256
  4. 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.

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.

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.

Runs on the hardware you already use

Omni software supports Windows and Linux on Intel, Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson. Qualcomm support is being ported.

Small enough for a drone

Embedded OmniCompressor runs on compact compute modules and connects directly to the sensor for high quality and low latency.

<1 WHD video
4 to 6 W4K, multi-camera

Runs on Linux or Windows platforms, including Intel SMARC and Raspberry Pi CM4 modules.

Cameras and body-worn systems

Partners have launched cameras and body-worn systems with OmniCompressor, recording, encryption and AI built in. An Australian partner has launched solar-powered cameras with compression.

Where Omni is already working

Every deployment follows the same pattern: compress at the source, store locally, send over whatever link is available.

Surveillance vehicles

Camera feeds are compressed on board, stored locally and sent over radio and SATCOM.

Grow your VSaaS without growing the cloud bill

Cloud surveillance is limited by two costs: the bandwidth to upload video and the storage to keep it. OmniCompressor removes both limits, using the cameras your customers already have.

Before

  • High bandwidth
  • High storage cost
  • Limited scale

After

  • Low bandwidth
  • Low cost
  • Massive scalability

Per-camera licensing

Pay as your camera count grows.

Cloud and SaaS partnerships

Integrate with your existing VSaaS platform.

Edge device integration

Embed Omni in the hardware you ship.

  • Smart city surveillance
  • Retail chains
  • Transportation and fleets
  • Critical infrastructure

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.
