Releasing the potential of VMS Compatible with 3,704 camera models and a large number of access control systems, pointof-sale (POS) systems, and retail and video analytics, Tyco’s exacqVision VMS is one of the industry’s most flexible solutions. The importance of incremental improvements End-user operational requirements change, businesses expand, and new threats emerge. It is crucial that Video Management Software (VMS), which is more often than not placed at the heart of an integrated electronic security solution, is regularly updated. With such a wide choice of featurerich VMS solutions to choose from, it is easy to be mesmerised by manufacturers claiming their platform is the best in terms of functionality and user friendliness. However, high on the list of considerations when selecting a VMS should be whether or not its manufacture has benefitted from improvements informed by changing market demands. An upgrade of the Tyco exacqVision VMS is released every quarter. The incremental improvements incorporated within each release generate new revenue opportunities for system integrators and ensure end-user expectations are fulfilled by the delivery of additional practical advantages. V19.09, the latest upgrade of exacqVision, is a perfect example of this.

The Live Camera page within exacqVision now offers keyword filtering on any defined camera attribute, enabling fast filtering across thousands of cameras. Using metadata to define camera attributes permits rapid camera filtering and allows users to create dynamic live groups, rather than relying solely on the camera name. Filtering results quickly makes it easy for users to view all cameras in the same building or on a specific street, in cases where producing fast results matters most. For installers integrating Illustra cameras, Illustra’s built-in profiles can now be selected from exacqVision, offering pre-built camera configurations for a wide range of scene types. Exposure
profiles provide a way to automatically adjust camera settings according to how the camera is used, optimising streams for the type of scene. Streamlining this configuration process delivers convenience and reduces installation time. New integrations with third-party technology partners in Tyco’s Connected Partner Program include license plate recognition from Vaxtor, retail analytics and cloud-based forecasting from Percolata, and alarm verification from I-View Now. 19.12: flexibility for enterprise administrators Exacq’s VMS 19.12, due for release this December, will allow camera licenses to be bulk purchased and unused licenses stored within Enterprise Manager to deploy as needed. Additionally, camera license SSAs will not age on Enterprise Manager.
