Wisenet WAVE

Wisenet WAVE is a professional video management software (VMS) application for centralized security system control. This mobile app provides direct access to live and recorded video from a connected Wisenet WAVE server. Users manage multiple sites and camera feeds, conduct forensic video searches, and control PTZ functions. Wisenet WAVElication is designed for security professionals and system administrators who require remote, on-the-go monitoring and evidence gathering from their surveillance infrastructure.

Connecting Systems with WAVE Sync

Users begin by adding their Wisenet WAVE server to the mobile application. This is done through WAVE Sync, a cloud-based service that eliminates complex network configuration like port forwarding. Administrators simply enter their server credentials and the system establishes a secure connection. This allows users to instantly see all their connected sites and camera groups. The primary action is monitoring a unified system from anywhere, providing a streamlined workflow for accessing a security ecosystem remotely. The result is immediate, secure connectivity to the entire surveillance network.

Monitoring Live Video Feeds

Upon selecting a site, users can view live video streams from any connected camera. The interface displays a grid of camera feeds that can be tapped to enter a full-screen view. Within the live view, users can control digital zoom, take snapshots, and start local recording directly to their mobile device. For operators, this function is critical for real-time situational awareness. The Wisenet WAVE app ensures that monitoring a live event is both intuitive and immediate, replicating the control room experience on a mobile device.

Conducting Forensic Video Search

This feature enables users to find specific recorded events quickly. Users navigate to the search section, select a camera, and define a time range. The Wisenet WAVE application then displays a timeline with motion-based thumbnail previews to visually scrub through hours of footage efficiently. After locating the relevant clip, users can play it back, extract it, or share it directly from their phone. This workflow is essential for security investigations, turning a mobile device into a powerful tool for video evidence review without requiring a desktop computer.

Controlling PTZ Camera Functions

For cameras with pan-tilt-zoom capabilities, Wisenet WAVE provides full control. Users select a PTZ camera feed to access a virtual joystick and a set of preset positions. The primary actions include moving the camera left/right/up/down, zooming in and out, and triggering predefined camera views with a single tap. This allows security personnel to actively track a person or vehicle of interest in real-time or to quickly survey a large area. The Wisenet WAVE interface delivers precise PTZ control that matches the functionality of a full desktop client.

Applying Fisheye Dewarping

The Wisenet WAVE mobile app includes a universal fisheye dewarping algorithm. When viewing a feed from a 360-degree fisheye camera, users can tap the dewarping icon to transform the distorted circular image into a standard, rectilinear view. Users can then select different viewing modes, such as panorama or specific digital PTZ sectors, to see a clear, undistorted picture. This built-in functionality allows for effective monitoring of wide-area scenes without requiring any special server processing, making the footage immediately intelligible on a mobile screen.

Optimizing Playback with Transcoding

The WAVE Server handles heavy computational tasks like video transcoding. When a user requests a video stream, the server can transcode it into a format that is optimized for mobile bandwidth and decoding capabilities. This process happens automatically in the background. The user’s primary action is simply selecting a video to play; Wisenet WAVE and server work together to deliver a smooth, low-latency playback experience even on cellular networks. This ensures that reviewing evidence with the Wisenet WAVE app is both fast and reliable.
