Ovation Systems Ltd

Ovation Systems Ltd, based in Oxfordshire is an established designer and manufacturer of some of the world’s leading advanced covert video surveillance products which help police, military and other government organisations in the fight against terrorism and organised crime.

For the past 20 years the company has achieved an excellent reputation throughout the UK and overseas security market for supplying superior products that are reliable and perform well in the field.

Video Stabilisation

One common problem with high zoom surveillance camera installations is movement caused by wind and vibration. Ovation Systems' StableEyes improves the operational appearance of high-zoom cameras by using ultra-fast video motion analysis technology to remove shake and leave the operator with a clear and steady video. StableEyes is ideal for a range of applications such as town centre monitoring (CCTV), long-range covert surveillance, mobile recording and video post-processing.

Video Scrambling

Ovation Systems provides a full range of advanced video scrambling and video encryption products for securing police and military wireless surveillance links from interception.

Ovation's leading encryption system, ViewLock-II, has been optimised to operate with demanding transmission environments and uses highly secure line cut and rotate video encryption with programmable encryption keys to provide outstanding protection of video surveillance transmissions. The range of video encryption systems also includes micro-ViewLock-II, which is a miniature version of ViewLock-II and is ideal for ultra covert and body-worn applications.

Rugged DVR

FlashBack-2 is a range of miniature rugged and compact digital video recorders utilising the highly efficient MPEG-2 compression technology to deliver high quality video and audio recording directly to a single or dual compact flash CF memory card. When ready, the CF card can be removed and viewed on a PC or media player and then archived to DVD using standard software applications.

FlashBack-2 contains no moving parts and is therefore able to operate with extreme levels of shock, vibration and temperature. With its ruggedness, coupled with very small dimensions, FlashBack-2 is ideal for covert, body-worn and mobile recording applications.

Covert DVR

FlashBack-3 is a new rugged and miniature H.264 covert digital video recorder designed by Ovation Systems for covert video surveillance applications. FlashBack-3 uses the effective H.264 video compression format, which is sometimes known as AVC (Advanced Video Codec) and typically offers over 1 hour of record time per GB at full resolution, longer when using its configurable time-lapse modes.

FlashBack-3 can be operated over an IP network for easy streaming of live images and configuration of the unit. With images direct to your laptop, FlashBack-3 offers a secure and effective security solution when working on remote and challenging locations. FlashBack-3 is available with either single or dual SD slots. With the single being the most smallest and compact, it is ideal for body-worn surveillance operations.

Time-Lapse DVD Recorder

Five years ago, one of Ovation's largest customers, the National Crime Squad (now the Serious Organised Crime Agency), were concerned their VCRs were becoming obsolete and products from the CCTV market were not meeting their quality and operational needs for police evidence gathering. They wanted to migrate to DVD recording, but one of their key requirements was the ability to operate in time-lapse mode, increasing the record time from the usual 3 hours per DVD to 24 hours or more. Following years of design and development, Ovation Systems created AfterBurner, the world's first DVD video recorder with time-lapse capability.

AfterBurner DVD Video Recorder

AfterBurner operates in real-time or time-lapse allowing 24 hours or more of video to be burnt to a single disk that is viewable on any standard DVD player. Since its introduction, several thousand AfterBurners have been sold worldwide.

Ovation Systems' dedication to design and development has led to the company winning a number of product awards including the Queen's Award for Innovation 2008, for the development of AfterBurner, a time-lapse DVD recorder, for police video evidence gathering.
