Oncam announced the next phase of its evolution an end-to-end, direct-to-cloud video platform designed to simplify deployment, empower integrators, and redefine enterprise surveillance. This marks a new era for the company as it builds on its long-standing expertise in intelligent imaging to create a connected, cloud-first ecosystem.
Developed by Oncam’s engineering teams in the UK and US, the platform integrates AI-enabled cameras, intelligent IoT devices, and cloud-connected video management software to deliver smarter performance with reduced complexity. It is designed to accelerate cloud adoption while preserving the openness and interoperability that have long defined Oncam’s approach.
“This marks an exciting new chapter for Oncam,” said Scott Brothers, Chief Operating Officer. “We’re combining two decades of imaging innovation with a modern approach to AI, cloud, and connectivity, always with our channel partners in mind. Our channel-first strategy remains central as we invite select integrators to join as Founding Partners and help shape what’s next for the industry.”
The Technology Behind Smarter, Safer, Simpler Surveillance
At the heart of the roadmap is Oncam Core, a unified web and mobile platform that delivers real-time visibility and actionable insights across the surveillance ecosystem. Built on open standards and fully ONVIF-compliant, it integrates seamlessly with third-party cameras, while Oncam’s edge-optimised devices are the preferred choice for unlocking the full power of the platform’s cloud-native architecture.
The next-generation camera family, including bullet, dome, turret, and panoramic form factors, is being engineered for plug-and-play direct-to-cloud deployment. Fully NDAA and TAA compliant, the range features dual SD slots for edge resilience, multiple power options (PoE and USB-C), integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and on-device AI acceleration to support analytics at the edge.
Technology Partners and Infrastructure
To enable this evolution, Oncam is working with several leading technology providers.
Qualcomm Dragonwing™ processors power the system’s on-device AI capabilities, enabling advanced analytics such as behavior detection, facial recognition, and anomaly alerts while reducing bandwidth impact.
“By combining Qualcomm Dragonwing processors with Oncam’s imaging expertise, we’re unlocking a new generation of smart cameras capable of advanced analytics and real-time insights at the edge,” said Sebastiano Di Filippo, Senior Director, Business Development, Qualcomm Europe, Inc.
Sandisk® edge storage provides high-endurance local recording designed to eliminate the need for traditional NVR infrastructure.
Russell Ruben, Director, Technical Segment Marketing, Sandisk added, “Our collaboration with Oncam demonstrates how high-endurance edge storage can transform surveillance, making intelligent video systems more reliable, cost-efficient, and scalable.”
The platform’s cloud services are built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure global reliability and scalability.
“We’re designing for resilience at every layer, from intelligent devices at the edge to a secure, scalable cloud backbone,” said Jon Marsh, Chief Technology Officer at Oncam. “That combination will give integrators and enterprises faster deployment, lower maintenance, and a clear path toward full cloud adoption.”
Commitment to Existing Partners
As Oncam introduces its direct-to-cloud strategy, the company remains committed to its current strategic alliance and technology partners, including those who bring Oncam cameras to market today. Existing product lines, support programs, and integrations will continue as Oncam’s roadmap expands.
