OnVu360 www.oncamgrandeye.com/products/OnVu360 enables total situational awareness, wherever you are, at your fingertips— literally. Never before have customers had this kind of experience, enabling 24/7 access to the information that is business critical.

"Until now, the 360 experience was reserved for professional-grade systems and didn't allow for a truly immersive mobile experience. The OnVu360 mobile app is the first patented technology that enables users to harness the speed and processing power of Oncam Grandeye. It is an important first step in providing total situational awareness anywhere, anytime, on any platform," said Adam Pineau, Director of Systems Engineering, Oncam Grandeye.

The app features zero latency as the user navigates by utilizing the pinch-to-zoom features of any iOS device. The OnVu360 app can stream up to a full 5-megapixels and supports Oncam Grandeye's Halocam and recently released Evolution line of cameras. Streaming over wi-fi, 3G and 4G connectivity, one can also take a "snapshot" to save precious data if used over a cellular-data network.
