Exeter Police Department uses its video surveillance system to manage video security at the police headquarters along with the city hall and a nearby water tower. ACTi provides MPEG-4 IP cameras (CAM-5120, CAM-5200, and CAM-7100) while Ortega provides the VideoSmart VMS to provide centralized management on a web-based interface.

At another police department, ACTi and Ortega products work together to provide a video surveillance system that manages both existing analog cameras with the new ACTi MPEG-4 IP cameras. Based on ACTi PCI-4100 the VideoSmart VMS manages these IP cameras along with 11 existing analog cameras seamlessly through one centralized intuitive interface. This system also replaced an old matrix switch and a set of old analog monitors with modern plasma displays that can show crisp clear video from all the cameras.
