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.
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.

VideoXpertEnterprise v 3.3 Software
Product Specification video management solutions
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.
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 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/Media Gateway for your VideoXpert
server. The double-duty Core/Media Gateway server provides the complete range of VideoXpert
functionality that you would expect for systems with fewer than 2000 cameras and 100 simultaneous
users.
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.
VxOpsCenter, Workstations and Enhanced Decoders
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 and 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.
Access Control support in VxMaps allows users to
view the status of doors in the building, and allows
them to control the door locks. The PlateSmart plugin
exposes license plate numbers, to track vehicles as
they come and go. The eConnect plugin displays realtime gaming information as a video overlay.
Storage
VideoXpert Storage (VXS)is a high-performance software application. Through the user of camera drivers,
the VXS can support many camera models from almost all camera vendors. VXS supports warm-standby
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 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. 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
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 are mapped to the full range of VxOpsCenter controls. An operator can perform any
and all operations using either control.

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, you must use camera licenses; each camera utilizing Storage or Aggregation will
consume a single license.
Note:VxOpsCenter software does not require a license. You can install the software on any
workstation meeting the system requirements.
Each camera/encoder on a VideoXpert system requires a camera license. To enable upgrades to
VideoXpert software, an active software upgrade plan (SUP) is also required.
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
