Overview
VideoXpert is a video management system (VMS) in a single box, designed for easy setup and robust
monitoring in small or moderately sized applications. Designed for Windows platforms, VideoXpert is easy
to install, quick to setup, and provides an intuitive interface that helps operators use video captured by the
system.
VideoXpert is available in tailor-made hardware solutions or in software distributions to support your
existing VMS infrastructure. VideoXpert provides options to support the throughput you need; and different
amounts of storage in RAID 6, RAID 5, or JBOD arrangements to fit your needs for retention, redundancy,
and fault tolerance. Software licenses operate in terms of channels, so you don't overpay for the solution
you need. The system supports unicast and multicast transmission modes, easily adapting to your network
scheme.
Server models also include Dell’s iDRAC (integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) platform and support
for Dell’s OpenManage tools, allowing administrators to remotely configure and support VideoXpert
Professional servers, reducing the need for physical access to the server. Using the iDRAC controller, you
can monitor hardware and receive email alerts via SNMP.

VideoXpert Professional™ v 3.11
Product Specification, video management solutions
VideoXpert Professional includes VxToolbox, an easy-to-use Windows application enabling users to
quickly and easily configure an entire network of servers and cameras locally or remotely. VxPro has predefined roles, designed around standard surveillance operations, making user creation and assignments
quick and easy.
The included VxOpsCenter™ client software provides an easy to use interface, so you can use VideoXpert
with little to no training. You can operate VxOpsCenter clients in multi-system access mode, allowing one
workstation to access multiple servers, scaling your surveillance solution. VxOpsCenter also supports
modular plugins, providing integrated functionality from external systems, including informational overlays,
license plate recognition (LPR), analytics (Pelco Basic, Enhanced, and Advanced Analytics Suites), and a
built-in mapping application.
Built around open standards, VideoXpert includes a complete application programing interface (API),
software development kit (SDK), and dedicated technical support, allowing other systems' manufacturers
to develop interfaces leveraging VideoXpert's capabilities.
Administrators can migrate current Digital Sentry hardware environments to VideoXpert Professional,
repurposing hardware and reusing current video management infrastructure while gaining the benefits of
VideoXpert. VideoXpert Professional can also utilize Digital Sentry storage hardware as recording
solutions, preserving the video stored on those devices while providing access to VideoXpert Professional
features.

Software Licenses
With VxPro, you only pay for the devices you want to use with your system. Each camera in a VxPro
environment consumes a “channel” license. VxPro includes four trial licenses and a 1-year software
upgrade plan (SUP) to quickly get started.
Each camera/encoder on a VideoXpert system requires a channel license. To enable upgrades to
VideoXpert software, an active SUP is also required.
