Exacq Technologies Introduces VideoPush for Exacq Mobile in version 6.8

  • Mar 19, 2015

Exacq Technologies introduces faster camera discovery and VideoPush to mobile devices with exacqVision 6.8 and automatic backup of recorder configurations in Enterprise System Manager (ESM), a health monitoring program for use with exacqVision Enterprise network video recorders (NVRs).

The EasyConnect feature introduced last year has been enhanced in exacqVision 6.8. EasyConnect allows users to find, address and connect multiple IP cameras to their network automatically. Now, camera scanning takes half the time as it did previously. The faster camera discovery also improves the user’s ability to find more cameras on busy networks and in more challenging network configurations where the camera and recorder are on different subnets.

exacqVision users can now utilize the VideoPush feature to and from Exacq Mobile. VideoPush gives exacqVision Enterprise users the ability to instantly push selected cameras, layouts, tours, groups or entire views to another exacqVision client monitor. With the latest release, Exacq Mobile now supports pushing video from the exacqVision client to a user with the Exacq mobile application open on their mobile device. This new feature enables greater collaboration between security professionals as they are walking around a site or working in various locations.

In addition to VideoPush, the latest Exacq Mobile app supports receiving and decoding H.264 video directly on the mobile device. Saving bandwidth and CPU on the server running the web service, it automatically negotiates whether to transcode or stream H.264 based on the specific mobile device performance.

ESM now allows administrators to automate and schedule recorder configuration backups. Administrators can configure backup exports on multiple servers simultaneously. With the new configuration management feature, ESM eases the management of backups in large environments.

The exacqVision VMS is accessed with the freely-distributed exacqVision client software (Windows/Linux/Mac), the exacqVision free web browser client available for all leading web browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera), as well as the free Exacq mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 devices. The VMS software is included with pre-configured exacqVision NVR servers or it can be installed on third-party Windows or Linux-based systems.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
