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 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 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.
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 via MJPEG and H.264.
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, 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
