VideoXpert is a video management solution designed to fit
surveillance operations of any size. Whether your operation has 100
cameras or 10,000, VideoXpert presents a solution to display, record,
and manage your video resources.
VideoXpert servers can be clustered to provide redundancy and
scalability within a single environment, enabling the system to grow
in tune with your surveillance needs. As you add cameras, users, or
recording devices, you can add servers and storage, enabling the
system to support the additional resources and perform to your
expectations. VideoXpert Ultimate can even aggregate other
VideoXpert systems, tying multiple VideoXpert systems into a single
interface. Through aggregation, administrators can build and
maintain a concerted video management system containing multiple
sites.
Designed for Windows platforms, VideoXpert is easy to install, quick
to setup, and should be familiar to most users. The system supports
unicast and multicast transmission modes, making it easy to adapt to
your current network scheme. Simplified interfaces ensure that users
can adopt and use the system with relative ease. From the Webbased Admin Portal, you can configure the system, manage the
database of devices, configure users and permissions, and assign
cameras to recording devices. Through the Ops Center software,
operators gain access to high quality video and powerful
investigative tools.
Administrators can migrate current Endura and Digital Sentry
hardware and environments to VideoXpert, re-purposing hardware
and reusing current video management infrastructures while gaining
the benefits of VideoXpert. VideoXpert can also utilize
NSM5200/NSM5300 and Digital Sentry storage hardware as
recording solutions, preserving the video stored on those devices
while providing access to VideoXpert features.
As distributed systems, VideoXpert Ultimate and Enterprise
architecture ensure that there is no single point of failure that would
compromise the system or video recording services. The system is
designed with multiple levels of redundancy – through both purposebuilt hardware and sophisticated failover and redundant recording
schemes – maximizing system uptime. The architecture allows
individual components to continue operating in the event of failures
elsewhere in the system.
VideoXpert can integrate with physical security systems and other
building systems to deliver situational awareness and control. Built
around open standards, VideoXpert includes a complete application
programing interface (API), software development kits (SDKs), and
dedicated technical support, allowing other systems’ manufacturers
to develop interfaces leveraging VideoXpert’s capabilities.
VideoXpert also supports third-party IP cameras, allowing users to
choose across hundreds of camera options from Pelco and third-party
partners when configuring a system.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
VideoXpert consists of four major components: Core, Media
Gateway, Ops Center, and Storage Server. The Core performs central
management operations, maintaining the system database,
administering user rights and permissions, routing traffic, and other
central operations. The Media Gateway handles all requests for
video, ensuring that users at all levels of network access, LAN, WAN
and even cellular, receive the right type of video for their application.
The Ops Center Client is the operator console, providing an intuitive,
but powerful interface from which users can access and investigate
video throughout the system. The Storage Server (VXS) records video
and delivers recorded video to users.
CORE
The Core is the heart of the VideoXpert system, it maintains the
database of cameras and recording devices. The Core also hosts a
convenient Web interface called the Admin Portal, from which you
can configure and manage the system. Through the Admin Portal,
you can administer user accounts and permissions, determining the
system functions and devices users can access. You can create and
assign “tags” to quickly organize cameras and devices within the
system. You can also configure and respond to events within the
system.
The Core browser provides basic access to video streaming
resources, ensuring that users with appropriate permissions can
view video from the system even without a hard client, using just a
standard web browser.
The application provides mechanisms to sort cameras by tags and
other criteria, making it easy for users to find the cameras they need.
Users can switch between live and recorded video on the fly,
ensuring a seamless viewing experience. With appropriate
permissions, users can also share workspaces and even use the
same tabs simultaneously, enabling collaboration within your
surveillance operations.
The Ops Center also provides an Investigation Mode, through which
users can create playlists from multiple video clips encompassing
important scenes from an investigation. Users can export and
encrypt their investigations, storing clips relevant to their
investigation independent of the system’s network video storage for
evidentiary safe-keeping and quick access.
The Ops Center supports modular plug-ins, exposing additional
functionality for operators as required by your surveillance
operations. The Mapping plug-in enables operators to arrange and
find cameras on maps. Through mapping, operators can find and the
camera providing the view they need, when they need it. The
PlateSmart plug-in exposes license plate numbers, to track vehicles
as they come and go. The eConnect plug-in displays real-time
gaming information as a video overlay.
MEDIA GATEWAY
The Media Gateway routes video traffic to appropriate users as
requested. When a user requests a video stream, the Core fields the
request and determines whether the user possesses the appropriate
permissions to view the video stream. If the user can view the
stream, the Media Gateway connects the user with the appropriate
device — camera, encoder, or recorder as necessary.
Like Core servers, Media Gateways can be added to VideoXpert
modularly, allowing a system with 1000 cameras to support 20 users,
or a system with 100 cameras to support 200 users. You can add
Media Gateways to the system in tune with media delivery needs.
CORE/MEDIA GATEWAY COMBINATION
While you can leverage separate Core and Media Gateway servers
for systems of sufficient scale, most systems can easily support a
single server acting as a combined, Core and Media Gateway for
your VideoXpert server. The double-duty server provides the
complete range of VideoXpert functionality that you would expect for
systems with fewer than 2000 cameras and 100 simultaneous users.
OPS CENTER
The Ops Center is a Windows-based application, providing an
optimal environment from which users can watch live and recorded
video. With the support of Enhanced Decoders, the Ops Center
supports up to six monitors, each capable of displaying up to 25 video
streams simultaneously. Through the Ops Center, users can configure
and recall complete workspaces, enabling operators to quickly log in
and get to work.
STORAGE
VideoXpert Storage (VXS) is a RAID 6, high-availability recording
platform that captures recorded video for your VideoXpert system.
The system’s operating system is contained on an SSD, freeing more
space for video and ensuring higher reliability; hard drives belonging
to the RAID array are front-loading, making it easy to remove and
replace failed drives. Storage servers also maintain performance
levels in both normal and RAID error conditions, preventing dips in
performance and ensuring that users can always obtain the video
they need through VideoXpert.
VideoXpert Storage natively supports third-party IP cameras via
ONVIF S and driver packages, so you can bring your cameras into
VideoXpert without expensive translation interfaces.
You can configure Storage through Admin Portal or VX Toolbox,
making it easy to set recording schedules and assign cameras to your
storage servers. Storage supports motion, alarm, and bump-on-alarm
style recording, so you can always capture events relevant to your
environment at high quality. Storage also supports redundant
recording, ensuring that VideoXpert continues recording video even if
a single Storage server falls offline.

Y
SYSTEM TOPOLOGY
VideoXpert Ultimate allows for expansion at any level of your security environment. Your system begins with a single server hosting the Core and
Media Gateway. In addition your system requires the OPS Center and Storage Server. As your surveillance needs grow, you can add servers to expand
modularly within a single environment, or you can aggregate multiple VideoXpert systems to provide a single point of access for distributed video
management networks.

OPERATOR WORKSPACE TOPOLOGY
The Ops Center supports up to six monitors: one connected directly to the Ops Center, and the other five driven independently by Enhanced Decoders.
The Enhanced Decoders enable each monitor connected through a workstation to display up to 25 video streams while maintaining a seamless user
experience.
Enhanced Decoder-driven monitors operate just like native monitors; users can move windows across monitors seamlessly. But, when the user
requests a video stream or plug-in, the Enhanced Decoder communicates directly with VideoXpert servers to get and decode video. This enables
operators to maximize the display-capabilities of the Ops Center without complicating the user experience.
ADVANCED OPERATOR CONTROLS
In addition to the standard keyboard and mouse, Ops Center workstations support an Enhanced Keyboard, and Enhanced Mouse, and the
KBD5000.The Enhanced keyboard includes programmable keys to which operators can map shortcuts to their favorite tabs and workspaces; The new
Enhanced Mouse or your existing KBD5000 are mapped to the full range of Ops Center controls; an operator can perform any and all operations using
either control.
