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. 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.
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.

VideoXpert Enterprise v 3.0 Software
Product Specification
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 VxToolbox utility, 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 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.
VideoXpert consists of four major components: Core, Media Gateway, VxOpsCenter,
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. VxOpsCenter 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 system, it maintains the database of cameras
and recording devices. The Core works with VxToolbox, from which you can configure
and manage the system. Through VxToolbox, 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.
VxPortal 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 traffic to appropriate users as requested. When a
user requests a video stream, the Media Gateway fields the request and determines
whether the user possesses the appropriate permissions to view the video stream. If
C4037S-C | 9/18/18 3
VideoXpert Enterprise v 3.0 Software
Product Specification
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.
VxOpsCenter
The VxOpsCenter 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 VxOpsCenter supports up to six monitors, each capable of displaying
up to 25 video streams simultaneously. 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 plugins,
exposing additional functionality for operators as required by your surveillance operations.The Mapping plugin 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
plugin exposes license plate numbers, to
C4037S-C | 9/18/18 4

track vehicles as they come and go. The eConnect plugin displays real-time gaming
information as a video overlay.
Storage
VideoXpert Storage (VXS) is a RAID 6, high-availability recording platform that captures recorded video for your VideoXpert 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 without expensive translation interfaces.
You can configure Storage through VxToolbox, 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.
System Topology
VideoXpert Enterprise with Aggregation allows for expansion at any level of your
security environment. Your system begins with a single server running Core and
Media Gateway software. Your system can use dedicated VxOpsCenter Clients to
view live and recorded video, or it can use VxPortal, which fully utilizes HTML5
browser technology to deliver a similarly rich experience with no client software
required. As your surveillance needs grow, you can add servers to expand modularly
within a single environment, or you can aggregate multiple VideoXpert Enterprise systems to provide a single point of access for distributed video management networks.

VideoXpert Accessory Server
You can install the VideoXpert Accessory Server to provide NTP, basic DHCP, active
failover, and load balancing services for smaller networks. The Accessory Server
offers a native, multipurpose solution to control your time and addressing services
from within VideoXpert.
When acting as a load balancer, the Accessory Server bridges multiple Core/Media
Gateway (CMG) servers, optimizing performance and providing redundancy for your
VideoXpert network. With the Accessory Server, you can easily increase your
VideoXpert network’s capacity and ensure the system’s uptime so that users always
have access to video.
Advanced Operator Controls
In addition to the standard keyboard and mouse, VxOpsCenter workstations support
an Enhanced Keyboard, and 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

Software Licenses, Servers, and Workstation Models
Use the following table to create a model number for your VideoXpert Enterprise software package. Your model number consists of the distribution you want to choose and
the model/software product you want to install. For example, an Enterprise Core
license is modeled “E1-COR-SW”. For VideoXpert Storage and Aggregation features,
C4037S-C | 9/18/18 7
VideoXpert Enterprise v 3.0 Software
Product Specification
you must use camera licenses; each camera utilizing Storage or Aggregation will consume a single license (available in single or 32-count packages).
VxOpsCenter software does not require a license. You can install the software
on any workstation meeting the system requirements.
Due to the complexity of network and system design for larger distributions,
VideoXpert 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.
