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. But VideoXpert
Enterprise is more than a VMS, it is an enterprise video-centric data
management solution, designed to bring in data from any source and
reference it to other data, to provide predictive capability to every
customer.

VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise.

Designed for Windows platforms, VideoXpert Enterprise is easy to
install and quick to setup. 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. Using the powerful VX Toolbox utility,
users can configure the system, manage the database of devices,
configure users and permissions, and assign cameras to recording
devices.

VideoXpert Enterprise 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. Aggregation can even aggregate other
VideoXpert Enterprise systems, tying multiple VideoXpert Enterprise
systems into a single interface.

As distributed systems, VideoXpert Enterprise with Aggregation
architecture ensure that there is no single point of failure that would
compromise the system or video recording services. The system is

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

designed with multiple levels of redundancy through sophisticated
failover and redundant recording schemes, maximizing system
uptime.

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, VxOpsCenter, and Storage. VideoXpert
Enterprise components are described in the following sections.

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.

video. Through the VxOpsCenter, 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 VxOpsCenter 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 VxOpsCenter 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.

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.

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
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, a single, combined, Core and Media
Gateway will support most VideoXpert Enterprise environments. You
can run both software applications on a single server, providing the
complete range of VideoXpert Enterprise functionality that you would
expect for systems with fewer than 2000 cameras and 100
simultaneous users.

VXOPSCENTER

The VxOpsCenter is a Windows-based application, providing an
optimal environment from which users can watch live and recorded

STORAGE

VideoXpert Storage software (VxS) is the recording platform that
captures recorded video for your VideoXpert Enterprise 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 Enterprise.

VideoXpert Storage natively supports third-party IP cameras via
ONVIF Profile S and driver packages, so you can bring your cameras
into VideoXpert Enterprise without expensive translation interfaces.

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.
