SoleraTec Releases Phoenix RSM Module

SoleraTec
LLC, introduced an extension
module for its Phoenix
RSM surveillance video management
software that extends the retention and archiving capabilities of an exacqVision video  management system installation

This
module – Phoenix RSM-EE (Exacq Extension) – allows interoperability
with exacqVision to replicate and store recorded video feeds from an
exacqVision system. Once stored into the Phoenix RSM video storage
repository, organizations can expand their retention needs while
providing storage management of all their video surveillance feeds.

Through
metadata, Phoenix RSM-EE provides users with the ability to search
and review video footage no matter how long ago the video was
recorded or where it is stored. SoleraTec’s Phoenix RSM-EE solution
allows for additional ‘tagging’ or video annotation to be added to
the recorded video, providing more relevant search results of video
for individual review. When integrated with an exacqVision
installation, the system stores and manages video surveillance feeds
as initially captured and supported by exacqVision. 

The
adoption of low-resolution companion files – created by Phoenix RSM
as the original video is extracted from exacqVision- allows for the
fast search and playback of recorded video segments. These
low-resolution companion files also put a far-lesser load on the
network as video is searched and reviewed.

Megapixel
and HD cameras can now be used without concern for storage
limitations regardless of resolution or frames per second. Adding this solution allows for the high-resolution video feeds to be
stored on lower-cost storage devices while Phoenix RSM-generated
low-resolution companion files remain on primary storage for fast
search and video playback.

"Supplementing
an exacqVision server with the Phoenix RSM-EE solution is a unique
way to achieve long-term video storage with the use of a variety of
readily available archiving solutions," notes Scott
Dennison, director of marketing, Exacq Technologies, Inc. "Exacq’s
open platform makes partnerships with companies like SoleraTec
possible, and creates new ways to provide users with enhanced
functionality in their video surveillance system." 

When
integrating a solution like that to an exacqVision system, a lower
TCO for the entire video surveillance solution can be achieved. A
multi-tiered storage infrastructure that utilizes lower-cost storage
devices – even offline media – lowers the TCO further. Ongoing
operational expenses (electrical and cooling cost) are also reduced,
providing additional cost savings.

"Enhancing
exacqVision’s retention and archiving foundation, Phoenix RSM-EE
provides intelligent video storage management, delivers video-centric
search and playback capabilities, and showcases Phoenix RSM’s ability
to save more for less," stated Mark Armstrong, CEO of
SoleraTec. "Now, Exacq users have a new, cost-effective way
to store and manage video for longer periods of time and increase
video quality," continued Armstrong.

Phoenix
RSM-EE is for situations where customers need replication and
redundancy because of multi-site, branch, or campus-wide video
surveillance needs as well as the overarching management capabilities
for multiple exacqVision ‘islands’ feeding back to centralized
Phoenix RSM video storage repositories.

Pricing
for the current version of Phoenix RSM-EE is MSRP $495.
Phoenix RSM storage licenses are extra. It
supports operating platforms including Windows, Mac OS
X, and Linux as well as LTO data tape library systems, HDD SAN and
NAS systems, RDX removable storage units, and Veracity’s COLDSTORE
storage array. Phoenix RSM is available from resellers and system
integrators throughout the world.
