exacqVision Software Overview

exacqVision software is based on a client/server architecture in which every computer is a client, server, or client/server

combination. These configurations are defined

A client computer provides access to a remote service on another computer over a TCP/IP network. The

exacqVision Client software is a thick client, and the web browser is a thin client.

A server computer provides services to client computers

receives and stores video from cameras; provides audio, video, and data as requested by thick clients; and hosts

a web server (if enabled) for thin clients. The exacqVision Server software does not have a grap

interface; only the client software allows interaction. A server can serve multiple simultaneous client

connections, within hardware limitations.

A client/server combination simultaneously operates client and server software. A loopback TCP/IP a

allows the client software to communicate with the server software on the same

computer. exacqVision servers are configured at the factory as a client/server combination to provide a
