VideoXpert Enterprise is a video management solution designed to fit
surveillance operations of any size. Whether your operation has 100
cameras or 10,000, VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise 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 Enterprise 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 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.

Administrators can migrate current Endura and Digital Sentry
hardware and environments to VideoXpert Enterprise, re-purposing
hardware and reusing current video management infrastructures
while gaining the benefits of VideoXpert. VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise
features.

As a distributed system, VideoXpert Enterprise architecture (with or
without aggregation) ensures 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 purpose-built 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 Enterprise can integrate with physical security systems
and other building systems to deliver situational awareness and
control. Built around open standards, VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise also supports third­party IP cameras, allowing users to choose across hundreds of

camera options from Pelco and third-party partners when configuring
a system.

VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise 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.

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 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 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
Enterprise 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 Enterprise 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

New for version 2.5, VideoXpert Enterprise supports Pelco Camera
Analytics as overlays in Ops Center. Operators can get real-time and
playback support for Pelco camera analytics to quickly identify
threats and respond appropriately.

STORAGE

VideoXpert Storage (VxS) is a RAID 6, high-availability recording platform that captures recorded video for your VideoXpert Enterprise 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
Enterprise 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 Enterprise continues recording video even if a single Storage server falls offline.

SYSTEM TOPOLOGY

VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise 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, 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.

SOFTWARE LICENSES, SERVERS, AND WORKSTATION MODELS

While Pelco servers, workstations, and recorders do not require activation licenses, certain software features and platform upgrades do. Aggregated cameras and
cameras recorded to VideoXpert Storage require a single license per channel. Consult Pelco Sales to ensure you obtain all the necessary equipment and licenses
required to support your environment.

Due to the complexity of network and system design for larger distributions, VideoXpert Enterprise with aggregation requires either training certification, or that the
installation be performed by Pelco Professional Services. While not required for Enterprise distributions, it is strongly recommended that system installers and
administrators be Pelco-certified.
