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 integration with Micros 9700 POS System
We have just released evMicros, the Micros 9700 HMS Point Of Sale System integration with exacqVision VMS.
The Micros 9700 is a widely used point-of-sale solution in the leisure and entertainment marketplace, and links POS transactions, back office functions, and guest management capabilities. Video surveillance capabilities are included to provide playback of digital video from within the auditing tools.
evMicros.exe, the exacqVision-Micros 9700 integration program, integrates a Windows-based exacqVision system with a Micros 9700 server via the Micros Video Security System Interface. evMicros separates the combined device data from the Micros 9700 server into individual streams for display on the exacqVision system. evMicros runs as a service on the exacqVision system, and each device is configured inside an XML settings file.
evMicros.exe and associated documentation is available for download here.
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.

exacqVision Command Line Interface Released
We’ve officially released a major part of the Software Developers Kit for the exacqVision client . The exacqVision Command Line Interface (eV-CLI) allows the playback of selected recorded video thru a customized, configurable exacqVision client window from within any application.
An access control system may want to display a live video window from a camera pointed at a doorway when the door sensor indicated the door has opened. A POS data management application may want to open a searched video window from the camera and time corresponding to a particular transaction. The exacqVision Client supports these types of applications by being highly configurable thru the eV-CLI.
All of the attributes of eV-CLI are specified in a user-defined XML file. Variables include layout and position attributes of the exacqVision window, the server name or IP address, camera, serial and audio inputs, and search attributes.
A translation program is also included for applications such as POS systems which may not map directly to the eV-CLI. This translation program also includes an editable XML which specifies the mapping of POS terminals to inputs on an exacqVision server, and maps the time format of the POS system to the Unix time of the exacqVision server.
One of the new features of last week’s exacqVision Version 2.6 release is exacqReplay, which provides immediate playback of any live video. exacqReplay also utilizes eV-CLI for its operation.
eV-CLI manual and source code are available on the Exacq downloads page.
