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.

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.

Media Gateway

The 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, 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 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 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 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.

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, 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 VideoXpertAggregation
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.

Software Licenses

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 channel 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 Services. While not required for Enterprise distributions, it is strongly recommended that system installers and administrators be Pelco-certified.
