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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

OPERATOR WORKSPACE TOPOLOGY
The Ops Center supports up to six monitors: one connected directly to the workstation itself, and the other five driven independently by Enhanced
Decoders. The Enhanced Decoders enable each monitor connected through a workstation to display up to 16 high definition video streams or
independent plug-ins 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.
