Version 2.10 of exacqVision NVR video surveillance software has been released. This latest release, compatible with all hybrid and NVR exacqVision systems, continues the quest for rapid, incremental releases to roll out new features and enhancements quickly.
Version 2.10 can be downloaded here. Key Features in the Version 2.10 Release:
Here are some of the new features in detail:
ACTi Megapixel Support
ACTi has recently launched a new line of megapixel IP cameras. We support this entire new line, which includes the following models:
ACM-5601
ACM-5611
ACM-3401
ACM-3411
ACM-4200
Vivotek New IP Camera Support
We also have added support for the latest models in the Vivotek IP camera line, which includes these models:
Axis & ACTi - New Resolutions Supported
exacqVision now supports 1280×1024 and 1280×720 resolutions on all Axis and ACTi megapixel cameras, in addition to all of the other previously-supported resolution modes.
Both the Axis and ACTi megapixel cameras produce faster frame rates when running in the 1280×720 mode vs. higher-resolution modes.
New Media Formats
Support has been added for the DVD+R and DVD+RW media formats for exported video. exacqVision also supports DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-RW formats.
New System Configurations
We have expanded the chassis offerings for our exacqVision NVR servers and Hybrid Servers. A new, matching 4U-height chassis configuration is now available, in addition to the 2U chassis and the space-saving desktop chassis. The new 4U chassis allows for increased storage options up to 8 TB on storage, as well as RAID-5 storage options. The spec sheet for this new offering is here, or you can click below.
Recent Releases
We have continued to make rapid progress with exacqVision, with incremental releases hitting about every 2 months. Here are some highlights of the most recent releases:
exacqVision Version 2.9 release (January 7, 2008)
exacqVision Version 2.8 release (October 31, 2007)
exacqVision Version 2.7 release (August 8, 2007)

The latest version can always be downloaded from our Downloads page, or you can click on ‘Check for Updates‘ within the ‘About‘ box in the exacqVision software.
The next release, Version 3.0, will coincide with the ISC West show in Las Vegas, April 2-4, and will have some major feature additions.

Our own Dave Underwood penned an article in this month’s Security Products magazine. Entitled Leaving A Legacy: Industry Ready To Embrace IP Surveillance Technologies, the article asks the key question:
Recent independent studies have indicated that the long-term cost of an IP system is actually lower than an analog-based DVR system. The big question for security integrators is, “What’s keeping you from upgrading your customers to IP surveillance?”
Three key considerations are discussed when contemplating making the switch from analog DVRs to IP video:
The answer to all of these questions is a hybrid NVR solution. A hybrid system can input video from the existing analog cameras, preserving that investment. Additionally, the analog portion closely resembles the DVR systems they are familiar with. The hybrid NVR also allows the addition of IP cameras to the system, with little, if any, difference in how utilize and manage the video from both analog and IP cameras.
The article provides a great introduction to those resellers and end users considering the move from analog to IP video surveillance. The full article is available here.

The annual New Security trade show, held at the De Montil in Affligem, Belgium, ended today. Our Belgian distributor, Custos, had a booth where they were showing the exacqVision NVR video surveillance product line, along with megapixel cameras from Arecont Vision and IP transmission devices from Veracity.
Luc de Cock, Managing Director of Custos, told us, “Your software was well received at the show. In the “exacqVision corner” of the booth we had an exacqVision Hybrid server on the left, an exacqVision IP NVR server on the right, and laptop running the exacqVision Client in between. The Hybrid NVR generated a great deal of interest.”
Our thanks to Luc for doing such a great job in promoting and supporting our products in Belgium. Custos can be reached as follows:

Once again we were exhibiting our exacqVision NVR product line at the BICSI Winter Conference, held in January in Orlando. This is the flagship North American event for BICSI’s 24,000 ITS designers, installers and integrators, combining training, RCDD certification, seminars, and a large expo floor.
We were part of the IPVS Magazine booth, along with Axis and Infinova. We’ve had a good association with BICSI. A common theme from BICSI members has been the rise in requests for IP video surveillance, and that side is increasingly being spec’d and installed by the BICSI designers and installers: the same people who spec and install the network and communications infrastructure. Our exacqVision Hybrid systems solution has been particularly popular in this area, as it allows for the leveraging of existing, legacy surveillance equipment with new and future purchases of IP video capability.
Our thanks again to Eric Moe of IPVS Magazine for another very well run booth. Our previous blog posts on BICSI can be found here. A listing of upcoming events where we will be exhibiting is here.
