VideoXpert is a video management solution designed for scalability, fitting the needs 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, enabling the system to support the additional resources and perform to your expectations.

Designed for Windows platforms, VideoXpert is easy to install, quick to setup, and should be familiar to most users. Simplified interfaces ensure that users can pick-up and use the system with relative ease. From the Web-based 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.

VideoXpert Ultimate can also aggregate other VideoXpert systems, tying multiple video management systems into a single interface. Through aggregation, administrators can build and maintain a concerted video management system despite distributed resources across networks.

•Extensible through plug-ins including mapping, video information overlays (eConnect), and license plate recognition (PlateSmart)

•Create and assign tags, organizing network resources as you see fit

•Includes advanced search capabilities for cameras and recordings

•Investigation mode enables operators to synchronize video playback and export investigative playlists covering scenes of interest

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 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 schemes – maximizing system uptime. The architecture also allows individual components to continue operating in the event of failures elsewhere in the system.

VideoXpert can integrate with other physical security systems and 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 manager. 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 manager (VSM) records video and provides access to recordings.

CORE

The Core is the heart of the VideoXpert system. It maintains the database of cameras and recording devices, and provides 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.

Beyond simple device and user management, you can assign resources to recording pools through the Core’s Admin Portal interface. The browser also provides basic access to video streaming resources, ensuring that users with appropriate permissions can view video from the system even without a hard client.

The Core also stores video that operators elect to export from network storage devices for safe keeping. By exporting video, users can store video clips relevant to an investigation independent of standard recording devices. Other users can easily access and download exported playlists from the Core as necessary for distribution and investigative purposes.

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 16 video streams simultaneously. Through the Ops Center, users can configure and recall complete workspaces, enabling operators to quickly log in and get to work.

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 views – window arrangements, camera selections, and so on – with other users, enabling easy 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 individual clips or entire playlists to the Core, 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.

VIDEOXPERT STORAGE

The VideoXpert Storage Manager (VSM) captures recorded video for your VideoXpert system. You can create pools of up to six storage servers with failover and redundant recording services, maximizing recording availability and preventing recording gaps. The VSM is also compatible with Endura systems, providing a migration path from Endura to VideoXpert.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SYSTEM TOPOLOGY

VideoXpert Ultimate allows for expansion at any level of your security environment. Your system can begin with a single server, hosting both the Core and Media Gateway. 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.
