With Omnicast™ Federation™, you can connect multiple Omnicast™ 4.x systems into a single virtual system. Users on the central Security Center system can access entities that belong to the remote systems.
How Omnicast™ Federation™ works
You view, monitor, and control remote entities from a central system called the Federation™ host. On the Federation™
host system, you create a Omnicast™
Federation™ role for each independent Omnicast 4.x system
that you want to federate. The role connects the remote system to the Federation™ host.
NOTE: Omnicast™ 4.8 has reached End of Life. For more
information, see the Genetec™
Product Lifecyle page.
Limitations with Omnicast™ Federation™
Federating an Omnicast™ system has the following limitations:- Some playback capabilities are not supported on federated cameras. Smooth reverse playback is not available and the rewind speed is limited to -10x, -20x, -40x, and -100x.
- Camera sequences are federated, but they behave as a single camera on the Federation™ host. This means that the users on the Federation™ host cannot unpack nor stop the camera cycling on camera sequences () federated from Omnicast™.
- Sites () are federated as areas () in Security Center.
- Sites with a Map (URL) property () are federated as areas () with a web page tile plugin attached.
