  1. EasyConnect EasyConnect allows users to find, address and connect multiple IP cameras to their network automatically.

  1. SpeedSearch – Searching video in exacqVision is now radically faster and much more intuitive than ever before. Video frames automatically populate on the screen upon conducting a search and advance as the timeline cursor is moved. This new feature allows users to start investigating video while it’s still downloading, providing faster access to needed evidence. Ideal for users with low bandwidth connections, exacqVision users can conduct investigations without waiting for an entire video stream to download.SpeedSearch
  1. VideoPush – More than just a video wall, VideoPush gives exacqVision Enterprise users the ability to instantly push selected cameras, layouts, tours, groups or entire views to another exacqVision client monitor, such as a public view monitor (PVM) or a video wall. Ideal for retail applications, VideoPush adds the opportunity for collaborative viewing of video between multiple locations and users.VideoPush

The upload button initiates the online Support Request Form with several fields pre-filled for you.

Increased PTZ Control Responsiveness

exacqVision Joystick

Version 6.0 of the exacqVision VMS included smoother control and faster response for a number of IP PTZ cameras. With the 6.2 release, these improvements have now been expanded to include more camera manufacturers including Pelco, ACTi, Hikvision and UDP. You’ll really notice these improvements when using the exacqVision Surveillance Keyboard.


Expanded Support for Client-Side Dewarping with Panoramic/Fisheye Cameras

Exacq continues to build on its list of supported panoramic or “fisheye” cameras that allow for client-side dewarping. With client-side dewarping the entire panoramic field of view is always available–whether the user is in live or recorded mode. This works with the exacqVision client, the web browser client and even with the Exacq Mobile app. Client-side panoramic dewarping is more resource efficient, recording one video stream and eliminating the possibility of redundant recording. Version 6.2 of exacqVision adds client-side dewarping for the Illustra 825 and the Samsung SNV-7010 fisheye/panoramic cameras.

Client-Based Panoramic Dewarping

Supported client-based dewarping cameras and technology partners include:

New IP Camera Support
