Simplified and Automated Software Updates
Automated and remote updating of your exacqVision software is a centralized, time-saving way of making sure you have the latest software on your systems.

REMOTE SERVER UPDATES (available with any server running exacqVision) – With version 5.4, you can now update the server software on a system remotely. With internet access enabled, exacqVision will check for available server software updates from exacq.com and will download the newest update based on your SSA end date.  If the server does not have internet access, the update can be downloaded and installed on a network drive with a specified location for the server to perform the update. Once configured, the system will display the status of the update during installation and provide an audit log.
exacqVision Remote UpdatesAUTOMATED MULTI-SERVER UPDATES (available with exacqVision Enterprise and EHM option) – The exacqVision Enterprise Health Manager (EHM) now supports automated scheduled updates of multiple servers. Closed system updates can be accomplished by downloading the update and installing it on a network accessible drive. A valid SSA and Enterprise license is required.

New Camera Configuration Page
exacqVision
5.4 offers a completely redesigned camera page on the Camera Recording and Enterprise Cameras pages. With this new design, subsets of cameras can be selected using filters on the left side of the screen. Selected cameras can then be configured all at once rather than individually. This should greatly speed up the camera setup process for large installations.

Z-Series Servers Storage Doubled
Up to 80TB/Server

Z-Series 4U Server with new coverexacqVision Z-Series hybrid and IP camera video surveillance servers now utilize 4TB continuous duty enterprise-class hard drives, increasing the maximum storage from 40 to 80TB per server.

Designed for demanding enterprise video surveillance applications, Z-Series servers accept up to 192 cameras (64 analog + 128 IP). Continuous recording rates of 520mbps enable high frame-rate recording at multi-megapixel resolutions per camera. The doubling of storage-per-server significantly reduces equipment cost for large system deployments utilizing multiple servers.

RAID 5 or 6 is standard on all Z-Series servers, protecting against data loss from 1 or 2 drive failures. Front-mount drive bays are hot-swappable for easy expansion and drive replacement. The new Z-Series front cover protects unauthorized users from accessing the drives.

exacqVision VMS Camera ViewAll exacqVision Z series servers now use the newest generation of drives with faster search times for stored video. For maximum throughput and video search times, 2TB drives are used for configurations of 40TB and under, and all systems configured for 48TB or greater use the 4TB drives for maximum capacity and speed.

Z-Series servers come pre-configured with exacqVision on internal SSD, and are ready for out-of-the-box deployment. All Z-Series configurations are available for immediate shipment, and the full listing of configurations is available here.

Exacq at ASIS 2012

Exacq at ASIS International 2012ASIS International 2012 just wrapped up in Philadelphia. It was a very good tradeshow for us. Although show attendance was perceived to be down by some accounts, the Exacq booth was very busy the entire show.

exacqVision 5In our booth at ASIS 2012 was the first showing of exacqVision 5, the latest version of our exacqVision Video Management Software, which will be released September 17. One of the key features in Version 5 is Multistreaming support. Multistreaming allows the ability to set multiple, independent video streams from the IP camera. Each stream can be set at different frame rates, resolution and quality level, ideal if you require remote viewing over a limited-bandwidth connection, but want to retain the highest resolution for recording and local viewing. Up to four streams per camera can be selected, depending on the IP camera model.  In addition, up to eight ‘Region of Interest’ streams can be setup on select Arecont Vision cameras, allowing for true cropping of individual, independent streams, and a full realization of the benefits of multi-megapixel cameras.

Supported IP cameras for multistreaming in Version 5 include Axis, Arecont Vision, Panasonic and ACTi, with more coming.

Other features in Version 5 shown included a vastly faster exacqVision client, with full processor multithreading support, providing a smoothness and fluidity of video display that is up to 6x faster than previous clients. Search speed is also improved, providing a 2x speed improvement in downloading searched video. A new Auto Export feature allows for automated backups to user-selected storage.

exacqVision Edge, the full VMS running on an IP camera, was in full force at this years show. In addition to supporting Axis IP cameras, two new IP camera Edge platforms were added in Version 5: IQeye and ISD.

Exacq ranked #4 on IBJ’s 2012 list of fastest-growing Indianapolis private companies

Indianapolis Business Journal Indiana 100 supplement 06-18-12This week’s Indanapolis Business Journal contains the annual Indiana 100 supplement listing the top 25 fastest-growing Indianapolis-area private companies. Exacq Technologies ranks #4 on the 2012 list. The IBJ ranked the companies based on revenue growth from the fiscal years 2009-2011. Last year Exacq ranked #7 on the list.

In addition to the list, the IBJ also had an article that highlighted the top ten companies. The feature on Exacq begins:

Exacq Technologies Inc. President Dave Underwood shows potential clients a video of a jewelry store customer palming a $47,000 three-carat diamond ring. He explains that with older, analog technology, even though the robbery would have been caught on camera, you couldn’t have seen the sleight of hand because there wasn’t enough resolution in the pictures. But with the Internet protocol megapixel cameras, you can see exactly what’s going on.

That video helps Exacq, which develops the software that manages the security cameras that are ubiquitous in businesses and public buildings, win over new customers who need video surveillance to protect their inventory, work force and clients.

The article goes on to talk about Exacq’s value path for customers:

Underwood said Exacq offers a product line that allows clients to integrate the high-resolution equipment while retaining their older technology. So instead of replacing all their equipment, clients can add cameras where it makes sense. Exacq integrates the cameras with its software and systems, and retrofits the analog cameras with a modern system. Underwood compares the upgrade to replacing your home or office computer every few years to update technology. Because security cameras are standard equipment everywhere from banks to fast-food restaurants, Exacq’s growth has been exponential.

“People are willing to switch out when there’s a value in switching out to the new technology so you can see something you couldn’t see before,” Underwood said. “And that’s one of the reasons we’re growing rapidly.”

The full article can be read here. The list can be viewed here.

Exacq at ISC West 2012

Exacq at ISC West 2012ISC West 2012 just wrapped up in Las Vegas. It was a busy and successful show for us. Our new, larger booth enjoyed extremely heavy traffic throughout the three-day show; our products were on display in a number of third-party integration partner booths, and we previewed new products, including:

exacqVision Edge Our new exacqVision Edge product, a complete Enterprise VMS server running on an IP camera, was featured. Initially supporting Axis IP cameras with ARTPEC 3 & 4 processors, exacqVision Edge loads directly onto the IP camera. Edge provides complete exacqVision Enterprise functionality without the need for an external server. Edge cameras appear in the camera tree just like cameras from any other server, and can be mixed and matched with existing exacqVision servers. Ideal for add-on cameras to existing systems where additional servers are too costly or not practical, for wireless outdoor cameras where consistent network connectivity is an issue, for short-term or covert deployment where there is no network connectivity, and for installations requiring distributed storage for high reliability. Ease of deployment for integrators: install and configure exacqVision Edge at the shop, then simply ship the cameras to the site for mounting and POE connection to network.
