Exacq at ISC West 2012
ISC 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:
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.
exacqVision 4.9 – Our latest release, Version 4.9, includes extensive new Search and Playback features, including Thumbnail Search. Finding the desired video is faster and easier than ever, and thumbnail search is ideal for low-bandwidth remote connections. Other new features include significant client video display speed improvements, new enhancements to exacqVision Video Wall including switched Views on alarm, enhanced Maps with integrated Soft Triggers, server management enhancements with new S.M.A.R.T. monitoring capability, new Hikvision native IP camera support, new fisheye IP camera support from Vivotek and ACTi, new encoder support from Axis, and more.
exacq Mobile 2.4 – The latest exacq Mobile release features significantly faster initialization and start times, true full-screen mode, easier add-camera functionality, and new support for the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, in addition to Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android phones and tablets.
exacqVision Surveillance Keyboard – The new Surveillance Keyboard was shown, an ideal add-on to exacqVision systems. PTZ Joystick, 10 button numeric entry, 16 user defined buttons, left/right arrow wheel, and firmware custom-designed for exacqVision VMS.
Elsewhere on the show floor, exacqVision integration with IP cameras was featured in the Samsung booth, in the Bosch booth, in the IQinVision booth (running Edge), in the CNB booth, and in the StarDot booth. On the Access Control side, exacqVision integration with PremiSys Access Control system was featured in the IDenticard booth, and integration with S2 NetBox and S2 Pronto Access Control systems was featured in the S2 Security booth. Distribution partners Anixter and ADI were also highlighting exacqVision.
We certainly appreciate all of our integrators, distributors and end users who came by the booth. We’ll be back next year for ISC West 2013. Some pictures from the show are below. You can also view more pictures here.

exacqVision certified for latest versions of Lenel OnGuard
We are pleased to announce that we have received Lenel factory certification for the integration of exacqVision VMS with the latest versions of the Lenel OnGuard access control system. Exacq is a member of Lenel’s OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP).
The exacqVision product line was certified by Lenel for integration with the latest OnGuard version 6.4.500, as well as with the earlier version 6.3.249. This is in addition to previous certifications we had for older versions of OnGuard.
This integration provides an easy-to-use and versatile access control/video surveillance combination. The exacqVision server software can reside either on the existing Lenel OnGuard servers or on stand-alone exacqVision servers. The exacqVision plug-in is available from the Exacq downloads page. Once installed, OnGuard is able to connect to all exacqVision servers and cameras on the network. exacqVision video sources are treated like any other video source within the OnGuard platform, enabling full functionality for mapping, alarm monitoring, and alarm assessment.
The full functionality of the exacqVision server and client software is also available. In addition to adding video sources within OnGuard, full use is available of the exacqVision software, with as many users connected via the exacqVision client and mobile device clients as desired. The two systems can run simultaneously and you get the full benefits of both platforms.
The latest exacqVision-Lenel plug-in is available here. An exacqVision server with Enterprise option is required.

exacqVision VMS & S2 NetBox integration announced
Exacq and S2 Security officially announced integration today between the exacqVision VMS software and the S2 NetBox. The full press release is here. Highlights:
The integrated system unites exacqVision video with events in the S2 access control and intrusion detection systems. Users of the integrated system will gain quick and easy access to all video and audio associated with a range of security exceptions.
"S2′s use of an open-source Linux operating system and a browser-based interface for access control fits perfectly with our open-source and cross-platform video management system software and hardware," notes Dave Underwood, president of Exacq Technologies. "Moreover, we share a common, IP-savvy dealer/integrator base looking for a complete access control and video surveillance solution."
The S2 NetBox and S2 Enterprise IP-based security management systems offer a 100% browser-based system that supports a wide range of physical security applications. S2 Security provides an open platform and freely distributes APIs so that partners such as Exacq can create innovative solutions that operate seamlessly through the S2 NetBox user and programming interfaces.
"S2 and Exacq share the common goal of delivering innovative technology and exceptional customer service," notes John L. Moss, president and CEO of S2 Security Corporation. "The integration of S2 and exacqVision provides a powerful and complete security solution – delivered through a common web browser."
Integration with exacqVision is supported in S2 NetBox build 373 and later, and is available immediately.

ICT Protégé and exacqVision integration at the Telus Centre
Security Central, our manufacturer’s Rep firm in Canada, has just put up a blog post installation story about the new Telus Centre for Performance and Learning, the recently-opened state-of-the-art addition to the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Omni Security, a Toronto-based integrator, is busy installing the ICT Protégé access control system and the exacqVision IP video surveillance management system in this new facility.
The Protégé system will manage over 100 doors of access control complete with full integration into the exacqVision VMS system. More than eighty IP cameras will be managed by exacqVision including twenty Arecont Vision 2-Megapixel H.264 cameras. To manage the access control database and the video files, Omni Security is deploying several high-end servers utilizing RAID6 technology for redundancy.
Future plans include integration of Protégé and exacqVision to the facility’s hotelling system for automating access control for guests to the many classrooms.
Our congratulations to the crew at Omni Security for this great high-profile integration installation. More pictures and information are on the Security Canada blog here. More information on the ICT Protégé access control system is here.
