Testing Exacq's VMS Software (exacqVision 3.7)
by John Honovich, IP Video Market Info posted on Jan 11, 2010 About John Contact John
Exacq provides VMS software and multiple lines of DVR/NVR appliances. While not as well known as some VMS providers, we regularly hear positive comments from integrators and competitors (in the North American market).
In this test, we examine the performance of Exacq's exacqVision VMS software, version 3.7. The test was performed running on Windows and Ubuntu (Linux distribution). The VMS was tested with Axis's Q1755, Canon's VB-C60, Basler's BIP-1600 and StarDot's SD500BN.
Key Findings from the Test
Key findings include:
- Fundamental tasks -- administration and live video monitoring -- are simple to perform
- Investigations can be confusing to use at first but is simple to scan recorded video and export
- Limited advanced functionalities (both in availability and usability)
From an integrator's perspective, we find exacqVision to be particularly reliable and easy to use. The main question/concern we find is using the software in very large-scale or complex deployments where it lacks a number of key features offered by competitors.
