Overview
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-level video and
data management solution designed to combine input from multiple systems, for a cohesive, real-time
understanding of events taking place in your environment.
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.
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
VxOpsCenter 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 software 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.
VideoXpert Core™
VideoXpert Core™ is the heart of the VideoXpert System™, it maintains the database of cameras,
recording devices, users, and permissions. 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.
VideoXpert Media Gateway™
The VideoXpert Media Gateway™ routes video traffic to appropriate users as requested. The Media
Gateway:
l Routes the video to the workstation in a multicast environment
l Accesses the video in a unicast environment
l Transcodes the video for low-bandwidth connected VxOpsCenter clients
Like Core servers, Media Gateways can be added to VideoXpert modularly. You can add Media Gateways
to the system as the media delivery needs increase.
VxPortal™
VxPortal™ is a powerful web-based client which can be used for live, playback, and PTZ. It can also
activate relays, acknowledge events, de-warp Optera cameras, create bookmarks, edit camera names and
numbers, and start easy exports. VxPortal uses standard web ports, making it easy to provide remote
access to your VideoXpert system via MJPEG and H.264.
VxOpsCenter™ and VideoXpert Workstations™
The VxOpsCenter™ is a Windows-based application, providing an optimal environment from which users
can watch live and recorded video. With the support of VX Workstations™, the VxOpsCenter supports up
to eight 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 VideoXpert Plates plugin exposes license
plate numbers, to track vehicles as they come
and go.
VideoXpert mapping 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. Access Control support in VideoXpert
mapping allows users to view the status of
doors in the building, and allows them to control the door locks.
VideoXpert Storage™
VideoXpert Storage™ (VXS)is a high-performance software application. Through the use of camera
drivers, the VXS can support many camera models from almost all camera vendors. VXS supports warmstandby or hot-standby failover configurations so that it can be configured for high-availability, ensuring that
your data is always retained and accessible. To make the most of your available disk space, VXS has a
flexible scheduling engine which allows you to extend the retention of data on your system without
sacrificing the quality of the video that matters most to you.
VideoXpert Storage natively supports third-party IP cameras via ONVIF S, G, Q, and T, and via 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. You can set different retention
times per camera or camera group. Storage also supports redundant recording, by assigning cameras to
multiple recorders, ensuring that VideoXpert continues recording video even if a single Storage server falls
offline.
System Topology When Using VideoXpertAggregation™
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.
