American Digital Security, an exacqVision integrator, was one of the exhibiting vendors at the American Correctional Association’s annual Congress of Corrections held earlier this week in Kansas City. Combining exacqVision IP video surveillance software and Arecont Vision megapixel IP cameras, ADS showed a unique and compelling solution for the security and surveillance needs of correctional facilities.
The ease of use of the exacqVision software was a big draw. exacqVision’s full remote capabilities due to the client-server architecture, the ability to have instant playback on any camera from the last few seconds or minutes with the exacqReplay feature, and the ability to add any number and type of cameras at any time without limitation were all of interest.
One of the unique exacqVision features for correctional facilities is the video block, in which selected areas of the video image can be blocked from viewing and recording, in parts of the facility where there are privacy mandates, such as lavatories.
The spectacular image quality of the Arecont Vision cameras showed the benefit of megapixel IP video: up to 7x resolution over analog cameras, and a substantially larger field of view. Arecont IP cameras can be easily installed wherever and whenever desired, with nothing more than a standard CAT-5 network connection required, due to their Power over Ethernet (POE) capability.
Showing the benefits of megapixel IP video, in the demos at their booth ADS was reading 1-inch text off of banners over 150 feet away. They were able to utilize the full capabilities of a 46-inch flat panel to show a megapixel camera image blown up to its full resolution in full-screen mode. As exacqVision can also accept analog cameras, an analog camera was also shown for comparison.
The ADS booth was the most crowded at the entire conference. Our sincere thanks to Buddy Mason of ADS and his crew, as well as Mike Hodor of Arecont Vision, for another successful event. ADS and Arecont Vision can be reached as follows:

The National Food Service Security Council (NFSSC) is holding their annual convention this week in Orlando. NFSSC is a trade organization of loss prevention and risk management professionals of the major casual dining and quick service restaurant chains.
NAVCO, an Exacq systems integrator, is a long-time vendor partner of NFSSC and is once again exhibiting at the conference. What sets them apart at this conference is the spectacular video surveillance imagery they are showing by using multi-megapixel cameras from Arecont Vision combined with exacqVision IP video surveillance systems. With video clips taken from actual customer installations using exacqVision IP video surveillance systems and Arecont cameras, NAVCO showed rich, detailed outdoor and parking lot video footage, with a single camera able to clearly see detail of every car, of people’s faces, even of the businesses across the street.
The other clear NAVCO differentiator is the ability to offer exacqVision Pro hybrid systems, enabling their customers to continue to use their existing analog cameras while adding the higher-resolution IP cameras going forward. This provides a compelling, cost-effective way for food service companies to leverage their existing video infrastructure while incrementally adding higher-resolution IP cameras as the need permits.
Our thanks to Les Brazzel, Jeff Kane and Angie Barnes at NAVCO for their support at this conference.
