Direct search for archiving

The direct search feature connects exacqVision clients directly to an archive without connecting to the exacqVision server. This can speed up video downloads, reduce network bandwidth consumption, and enable recorded video to be available when its associated exacqVision server is offline. To use the direct search feature, you must use the credentials of an archive store account or you must be connected to a Cloud Drive.

If direct search is enabled, all sources for a camera are searched. You can select the preferred source, if a conflict occurs. When you download and view a video, there is a seamless transition between the video and each camera source.

When you perform a direct search, you can select from one of the following options:

Direct Search Enabled – Prefer Cloud Video
Direct Search Disabled
Direct Search Enabled – Prefer System Video
Direct Search Enabled – Prefer Archive Video

The Status area in the Direct Search pane displays information about the connection between the exacqVision client and the network shared drive archive. For more information, see the following table.

Table 1. Direct search status messages in the Direct Search pane
