• Serial data
• Manual record

EasyConnect Status Messages

The EasyConnect feature on the exacqVision VMS software allows users to find, assign, address and connect certain IP cameras to their network automatically. Camera connection in exacqVision 7.0 has been improved to show more detailed connection status feedback when connecting Illustra IP cameras and exacqVision E-Series encoders. There are now more than 20 unique status messages. Each message is color-coded for fast identification of issues. Users can hover over the status for troubleshooting guidance. Connection messages include:

• Duplicate IP address
• Address not responding
• Address found but device not responding
• Wrong username/password

One of the advantages of IP video vs. analog CCTV is the distribution flexibility of IP networks. With IP networks, video can easily be routed anywhere on the network, to one or more endpoints as desired. In turn, users have the potential to over-utilize network bandwidth and compromise the overall performance of the video management system solution.

Drawbacks of Multicasting 
Some consider IP multicasting as the solution to minimizing IP streaming bandwidth, when in actuality the advantages of multicasting are limited to specific scenarios. With multicasting, bandwidth savings only occur when multiple subscribers view the same live video stream. Several drawbacks to multicasting should be considered including:

• UDP video streaming – UDP does not guarantee every packet gets delivered and it exposes the video stream to any unreliability of the underlying network, resulting in poor video quality due to lost or duplicate packets.
• Higher complexity – multicasting implementation requires special equipment and knowledge beyond fundamental IP network configuration.
• Variable bandwidth savings – the amount of bandwidth savings can fluctuate depending how many people request the same content. Multicasting only delivers benefits when the same live camera stream is being viewed by multiple people.

One advantage of multicasting is that only one stream of video from the camera is required to support many viewers.  exacqVision provides this same benefit without the complex configuration. exacqVision is designed to efficiently support many clients viewing live video using only a single video stream from the camera.

exacqVision Saves Significant Bandwidth with Multistreaming
exacqVision is able to deliver significant bandwidth savings through the support of intelligent multistreaming, instead of multicasting. exacqVision will automatically deliver the full resolution stream or low resolution stream based on the viewing need of each client requesting video. Users can override the automatic choice and manually select high or low resolution streams for viewing as needed.

Read our Exacq IP Multicasting and IP Video Surveillance Deployments whitepaper to find out solutions to bandwidth challenges using exacqVision VMS software.

Platinum Protection Systems

It happens all too often; a customer calls saying they had an incident happen, but they do not have any video captured because a camera was down. How can we prevent this from happening in the future?

Continuous Video Security Health Monitoring

Platinum Protection Systems went from personally checking on customers cameras to verify operation, to setting up email notifications and now instant camera and server status access via exacqCloud. Small customers typically do not have the time to monitor their security system. Therefore, Platinum Protection Systems needed a real-time system to easily access all of their customer’s surveillance equipment through one interface. They have deployed more than 1,000 cameras into the exacqCloud interface to continuously monitor critical video recording components.

“Having access to exacqCloud gives our customers another set of eyes and a constant reassurance of security system reliability.”  – Michael Terrizzi, Owner, Platinum Protection Systems, LLC

Enables More Service Agreement and Software Sales

exacqCloud gives Platinum Protections Systems a way to properly prioritize and coordinate service. Within minutes of seven cameras going down at a bus terminal customer, Platinum was able to contact them immediately, address the situation and dispatch a prepared technician with the appropriate tools needed to restore the cameras before any important video could be lost. This gave them an advantage against their competition to instantly notify customers of issues.

“exacqCloud provides us a way to give our customers proactive support, faster and more cost-effective than ever before.” – Michael Terrizzi, Owner, Platinum Protection Systems, LLC

Increases Reliability and Trust

Platinum Protection Systems had a customer with more than 300 cameras and 4 video recorders installed on their campus. The addition of exacqCloud enabled them to improve their service and ensure no storage alarm issues occurred. With exacqCloud, Platinum could ensure 24/7 reliability and respond immediately. Prior to exacqCloud, the end user and previous integrator only conducted a bi-annual audit of drive health and had no idea a RAID 5 drive failed.
