 Systems Analyst

Omnicast has several functionalities, enabling integration with other systems and large-scale monitoring. However, the setup is complicated. I believe that there are other tools with better cost benefit in the market.

Manager

I liked Omnicast much because I can manage and view videos from one place. It provides great security and surveillance features. It easily integrates with other security systems. It works with many different IP cameras and hardware.
