ExacqVision 9.8 supports Cloud Drive storage, a subscription-based solution that provides a way to store, access and search critical surveillance video in the cloud.

The company says exacqVision Cloud Drive storage can help security and IT teams lower their TCO by eliminating some of the unnecessary hardware costs and management of storage infrastructure.

exacqVision 9.8 also supports Perimeter Defender analytics from Axis Communications AB, which includes displaying bounding boxes and object trails in live video as well as using event metadata for video searches. This is said to help strengthen the forensic analysis of essential video, as do the enhancements to exacqVision’s audit trail feature, which lets administrators better monitor server activity by allowing them to log more detailed system information, such as which segments of a video clip were watched and by whom.

In addition, this release updates the enterprise feature set of Enterprise System Manager (ESM). Administrators can customized device level permissions – whether video, audio, serial, or soft triggers – for specific user groups in ESM, and use the camera inspection feature to enable live video viewing without complex steps such as setting up and configuring web services.
