Exacq designs and manufactures its own video capture boards. Current tDVR capture board models are manufactured in Canada.
Previous eDVR and sDVR capture boards, no longer manufactured, were designed by Exacq. Portions of the manufacturing process were performed by a contract manufacturer.

When using the audio input terminals on the rear of an ExacqVision Hybrid NVR, you will need a microphone with a a pre-amplifier capable of producing a line level output that can be connected directly to the ExacqVision audio terminal inputs.
If using a mic level output microphone, you will need a mic pre-amp to boost the audio to line level output for connection to the rear audio input terminals.
There are many options available in the market. The following is a list of some common choices:
If you choose to use other surveillance or boundary layer microphones with mic level or XLR connection outputs you will need an intermediary device that provides a line level output to use with the audio input terminals.

If the red X appears over the cursor, the window is too close to the edge of the image.
Additionally, if you cannot digitally pan or tilt after zooming, the pan/tilt speed might be too high. The speed setting is the number of pixels to move in the image.
Click the PTZ Control button on the toolbar.
Decrease the Speed setting for the Pan/Tilt control.

exacqVision software can be thought of as a suite of applications that work together to provide different services.
The primary application is the exacqVision Server, which records video, audio, and event data. The exacqVision Client provides an interface to view live and recorded video as well as to configure the server application. A single site may have the exacqVision Client installed on many workstations. The exacqVision Web Service connects to the server application as well to provide the ability to view live and recorded video via web browser or mobile app.
These may be updated using the user interface, or by downloading and manually running installers for the newer version.
When opting to update one of these applications it is not uncommon for users to forget to update the others. This guide will explain how to update each of these applications on both Windows and Linux machines. Use the Contents menu to skip to sections relevant to your installation.<br><br>
The exacqVision Desktop Client software for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems provides an easy way to update the software using the ‘Check for Updates’ button.

<br><br>
<br><br>Windows .MSI installers are also provided on the Software Downloads page for those users that need to provide software deployments.<br><br>
Prior to making changes to your server installation, it is best practice to export a copy of your server’s settings.

Modern computer networks require each device on the network to have a unique IP address. These addresses are used so that computers know how to communicate with each other and so that network equipment knows where to route the traffic crossing its path.
When using the ExacqVision Desktop Client application from a client workstation to connect to your ExacqVision Server application on another machine, perhaps on the other side of your office, you will need to enter the server’s IP address so the two machines can communicate.
However, TCP/IP includes some “shortcuts” that make routing communication more efficient when two applications running on the same machine need to communicate. These “shortcuts” are called loopback addresses and tell the machine not to bother sending the message out onto the network only to have the network send it right back.
127.0.0.1 is an IP address that always refers to “this machine”; the local computer. An ExacqVision Client can always connect to a server running on the same computer using the 127.0.0.1 IP address, regardless of the actual IP address being used by the NIC in the computer. The same can be said for “localhost,” which may be used in place of the address 127.0.0.1 in many applications. Both “localhost” and the address 127.0.0.1 refer to “this machine.”
Do not delete 127.0.0.1 or ‘localhost’ from your systems list. Using 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual IP address of the NIC ensures the fastest and least troublesome connection to the ExacqVision Server running on the same computer.
<br>
The 127.0.0.1 loopback address is an IPv4 address. While IPv6 has been a growing protocol for several years, it is still primarily used by service providers and external routing. Within private networks such as offices and homes, the older IPv4 protocol is still standard.
In case you’re wondering, the loopback address in IPv6 can be written as:
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or as ::1
At the time of this writing, ExacqVision Server does not support IPv6 addressing.

In most cases, yes. Exacq strives to make the client software backward compatible. However, we recommend that you upgrade your client because newer versions have additional features, bug fixes, and enhancements. Older versions usually function correctly, but they most likely do not offer all the current exacqVision client features.

Is-my-exacqVision-Client-software-backward-compatible.pdfYes. However, video display operations will not be accelerated. Changing the color scheme to Windows Vista Basic can restore overlay and offscreen functionality.
Switching to the Vista Basic theme:
This should disable all Aero features, such as the glass effect and taskbar thumbnails.
Alternatively, you may use the command line in CMD to issue the following command:

Yes. Exacq supports the use of an iSCSI initiator to connect to a storage server. This is available in both Windows and Linux.
<br>
Yes, ExacqVision Server has been tested on the following:
Version numbers are listed as YY.MM.
ExacqVision supports Ubuntu LTS releases only. Canonical provides LTS releases every two years. Long Term Support (LTS) lasts for a period of 10 years after release. ExacqVision will provide support for future LTS releases of Ubuntu as they become available.<br>
<br>
ExacqVision Server software has supported 64-bit Windows since Server version 6.4.
sDVR and tDVR analog capture board installers for 64-bit Windows ExacqVision Hybrid systems are also available.
For a list of currently supported operating systems, refer to the software product pages on Exacq.com, then click ‘System Requirements.’
