Exacq Technologies launches exacqVision Edge video management system

Exacq Technologies, manufacturers of the software of the systems of management of video exacqVision and servers NVR used in video surveillance, has developed the exacqVision Edge VMS software, running directly on network cameras.

Exacq Technologies announced the addition of exacqVision Edge to the video management system software family (Vms) exacqVision used in video surveillance. exacqVision Edge server software runs directly on a device, as an IP camera, no need for an NVR or standalone server.

exacqVision Edge proporciona una gestión de usuario centralizada y el monitoreo de servidor. Software integrates with Active Directory and LDAP applications, as well as with other third-party integrations, including access control, Pos / ATM, license plate recognition and video analysis. Live video and recorded from the camera are viewed and managed using cross-platform (Windows / Linux / Mac) exacqVision client free distribution. Cross-platform also provides virtual array switching, multi-layer mapping, and digital PTZ control. The recorded video can be stored on an onboard SD card or on a network drive such as NAS storage, creating distributed points of failure for these installations that require extreme redundancy.

Dave Underwood, President of Exacq Technologies, has indicated that “exacqVision Edge is unique in the physical security industry. We are able to provide the same kind of VMS functionality in a single IP camera or encoder as we do with our servers. – and is a fully scalable solution”.

Scalable solution

Edge servers and their cameras are fully scalable with each exacqVision server which is perfect as a standalone distributed solution or as part of a complete installation. exacqVision Edge is an ideal way to add cameras to existing enterprise deployments in areas where adding another server might not be practical – this includes outdoor spaces, places of restricted access, Branches, remote control or outdoor buildings, where only one or two cameras are needed. Many of these edge devices use processors based on MIPS Technologies' standard MIPS architecture.

Gideon Intrater, Vice President of Marketing, MIPS Technologies, has stated that “MIPS Technologies is pleased to welcome Exacq to the ecosystem of leading companies offering software that runs on MIPS-based devices. MIPS architecture provides a scalable, high-performance solution that is ideal for sophisticated applications, as the new exacqVision Edge VMS software".

Axis Camera System

At its launch, exacqVision Edge software is supported by a number of IP surveillance cameras from Axis Communications running on the Axis camera app platform (Acap). Rob Muehlbauer, Business Development Program Manager, Axis Communications, has assured: “We've developed our embedded Axis camera app platform so our partners could leverage the additional processing power available in our cameras and encoders to create next-generation smart features.. ExacqVision Edge software running on ACAP opens up new opportunities for IP surveillance where VMS functionality is needed, but the environment makes a standalone recording server prohibitive. Harnessing the power of next-generation devices with smart apps, creating more intellectual property options for integrators and end users and continuing to mark the transition from analog to digital surveillance”.
