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 products are available as software distributions that you
can install on your own hardware, even existing video management
hardware. This allows you to repurpose your own hardware and
bring existing systems forward into VideoXpert.

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.

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.

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 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. 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. And Storage (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.

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 and audio 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, a single, combined, Core and Media
Gateway will support most VideoXpert environments. You can run
both software applications on a single server, providing 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. Through the Ops Center, users can configure and recall
complete workspaces, enabling operators to quickly log in and get to
work.

STORAGE

VideoXpert Storage software (VXS) is the recording platform that
captures recorded video for your VideoXpert system. Storage
software is designed for high availability and maintains 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 the same Web interface you use
to configure the rest of your VideoXpert system, 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.

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,
