Among the new features and optimisations, User Experience (UX) enhancements have been designed to improve responsiveness, shorten investigations, and provide greater  location insights for organisations of all sizes with multiple mapping capabilities. System availability features now allow for hitless dynamic cluster (system) expansion with zero downtime.

Additionally, VX 3.1 expands its compliance with U.S. Government Cybersecurity NIST/Risk Management Framework (RMF) process requirements, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 encryption support as well as incorporates several other cyber security related capabilities.

“Video Xpert VMS functionality continues to evolve at a rapid pace, delivering what customers care most about: intuitive features, mission-critical availability, and responsiveness as well as providing day-to-day secure and trusted system operation that can scale with them as their deployments grow,” said Todd Dunning, Pelco’s Senior Product Line Manager. “With this latest version, we unified and incorporated many new features across Videoxpert Pro and Enterprise editions that work with Pelco’s broad camera portfolio as well as third-party cameras, including those supporting ONVIF.”

In more detail, user experience enhancements for version 3.1 add several new features including a mobile/thin (web) client Vxportal allowing users to see smoother video with faster frame rate delivery and the ability to see every moment of an incident. System administrators can now more easily import maps and floorplans using PNG and JPEG image files. Additionally, administrators can add doors (access control icons) to all maps; operators will see door status (open, closed, forced, or fault) and be able to lock and unlock doors from within Videoxpert’s Vxmaps module allowing for quicker responses.
