Exacq Technologies, part of the Security Products business unit of the US-based multi-national Tyco, has introduced the ability to set up and manage failover on exacqVision servers with exacqVision 6.6 and Enterprise System Manager (ESM) version 3.0. That’s a health monitoring software for use with exacqVision Enterprise networked video recorders (NVRs). The new exacqVision version 6.6 VMS (video management system) also includes updates to the views and event monitoring features in exacqVision, and updates to ESM.
The new failover continually monitors exacqVision recorders. A system failure can be detected within 15 to 30 seconds the makers say and an actual failover to a spare server or servers can be automatically instigated in a matter of minutes it is claimed. Failover functions include IP cameras, recording schedules, user rights, event linking, serial profiles and archiving configuration. Once the protected recorder is back online, ESM automatically transfers everything back to the original server. Users can also use the failover to do manual failover on exacqVision recorders at any time to conduct system maintenance.
Scott Dennison, Director of Marketing, Exacq Technologies, says: “The new ESM Failover feature adds substantial value to our exacqVision enterprise solution. We recognized the need for our customers to maximize video recorder uptime and delivered a failover solution to ensure video recording is never interrupted.” For more on this software release go to www.exacq.com.
