Securely Store and Search Video in the Cloud

exacqVision 9.8 supports the newly introduced exacqVision Cloud Drive storage, a new way for users to easily store, access, and search critical surveillance video in the cloud. This solution allows customers to store an offsite copy of video as a safeguard against natural disasters, theft and other events, all while reducing capital expenses and increasing accessibility. exacqVision Cloud Drive storage helps security and IT teams lower their Total Cost of Ownership by eliminating some of the unnecessary hardware costs and management of storage infrastructure.

More Meaningful Information and Better User Experience

Stronger integration with Axis Perimeter Defender analytics

Many Exacq customers leverage Axis Perimeter Defender analytics as part of their video management solution. The latest exacqVision release helps to strengthen the forensic analysis of essential video by allowing customers to display those analytics – including bounding boxes, object trails, and object overlays – in live video and video searches.

 

More detailed audit trail information

Administrators can now better monitor server activity by logging more detailed system information, such as which segments of a recorded video clip were watched and by whom, and then export that information in a variety of report formats. 

Better user experience creating layouts from Groups/Views 

When creating layouts from a particular Group or View, users can now enable or disable auto-populating of cameras in the exacqVision Client. The ability to enable or disable this auto-populate feature gives users ultimate control over which cameras make up their layouts without disrupting those from other Groups or Views.

More Powerful and Efficient User Management for Enterprise System Manager

Highly customized device level permissions for specific user groups on ESM

Administrators can now assign highly customized device level permissions – whether video, audio, serial, or soft triggers – for specific user groups in ESM. For example, an administrator can grant ‘Live Only’ permissions for certain cameras, without allowing search capabilities. Setting device permissions is extremely intuitive with the list of devices grouped by NVR. NVR groupings of cameras are collapsible and expandable for fast configuration, allowing administrators to quickly and easily find and select specific cameras by name across all NVRs.

Seamless camera inspection in Enterprise System Manager

Camera inspection inside ESM is much more intuitive, now requiring zero setup to receive video streams. Enable live video viewing without complex steps such as setting up and configuring web services. With this release, ESM can natively display video from cameras, making it a breeze to perform camera inspection.

UNPRECEDENTED DATA INSIGHT, CONTINUOUS UPTIME, AND INTUITIVE EXPERIENCE THE FOCUS OF EXACQVISION 9.6

Having access to the massive amount of data that is generated by surveillance cameras and security systems is only part of the equation; understanding and reacting to that data is the most effective way to keep employees, visitors, and assets protected. exacqVision 9.6 allows users to harness the power of their data with reporting capabilities that provide unprecedented event insight. The latest version also provides important new features and integrations that ensure continuous surveillance and an even more intuitive user experience.  

v9.6 Feature Highlights: 

Complete Security to More Effectively Protect People and Property 

  • Visualization of data and trends provides actionable insight  
  • Integration with DMP intrusion panels offers more options for complete security solution
     

Ensure Undisrupted Security  

  • Continuous recording with Axis cameras, even in network loss 
  • Encrypted video streams from Axis and Samsung cameras  

 

More Intuitive, Global Experience 

  • Select Default Client Language 

 

Feature Details: 

Complete Security to More Effectively Protect People and Property 

Visualization of data and trends provides actionable insight  

A new Report Mode option within the exacqVision Search page gives users the ability to interpret events captured by the VMS and make more effective business decisions based on potential trends. By better visualizing analytic, recording, and event data, security operators can more efficiently evaluate and respond to events such as aberrant ‘door open’ alarms in restricted areas or unusually high numbers of motion detected events for a certain camera. This insight provides the high level of awareness required to mitigate potentially dangerous trends.  Data sets are also exportable in a CSV format and can be imported into other BI applications, which means users aren’t limited to analyzing data solely within exacqVision.g 

 

New integration with DMP intrusion panels strengthens exacqVision as a complete security solution 

exacqVision now integrates with DMP intrusion panels, giving users more options to build their complete security solution. By leveraging this powerful integration, users can arm, disarm, and bypass zones and partitions from the exacqVision client, as well as use DMP alarms to trigger other events within exacqVision. The ability to seamlessly execute arm/disarm actions vs. simply receiving alarm system events is an important distinction from other VMS systems’ intrusion integrations, and allows customers to better protect their businesses.   

 

Ensure Undisrupted Security  

Continuous recording with Axis cameras, even in network loss 

exacqVision 9.6 now supports direct SD video recording capabilities with Axis cameras, minimizing lost video due to unexpected network or NVR outage.  With this feature enabled in Axis cameras, motion events are always recording to the SD card.  If connection is lost between the camera and NVR, the video that was recorded during that time will transfer back to the exacqVision NVR upon reconnection and is automatically stored at the correct date and time. This offers peace of mind to customers who use one of the industry’s most popular camera lines to maintain a safe and compliant work environment. 

 

Encrypted video streams from Axis and Samsung cameras  

The growing complexity and interconnectivity of security systems has driven the need for more secure communication between cameras and video servers, and exacqVision 9.6 now offers an optional feature to encrypt the video streams from Axis and Samsung cameras to the video server. Encrypting the video stream ensures data can only be interpreted by the server itself, meaning any third-party that intercepts this stream is unable to decrypt or make use of this data in any way. This additional layer of security offers the cyber protection necessary to keep a customer’s system continually secured. 

More Intuitive, Global Experience   

Select Default Client Language  

Already known to be an intuitive VMS, exacqVision 9.6 further simplifies the experience by allowing users to specify the language they want the exacqVision Client to display in, as well as easily switch languages without requiring complicated changes to the computer settings. Not only does this eliminate tedious and error-prone processes for the user, it simplifies region-specific installation and support for integrators.   

Exacq Integration With DSC PowerSeries Neo

exacqVision 7.4 introduced a new exacqVision native integration with DSC PowerSeries Neo intrusion devices. This integration gives users greater control to operate all security operations at once, reducing complexity for security personnel while saving time and money.

Our new video shows you how to add a DSC Security PowerSeries Neo intrusion device to exacqVision VMS software. Once set up, users can utilize exacqVision CameraLinks to arm and disarm the system.
