exacqVision Mobile receives live and recorded video from the exacqVision Server
The exacqVision Mobile app allows you to use Apple or Android tablets and smartphones to view live video from an exacqVision Server, search for recorded video, and more. To access your exacqVision server over the internet from exacqVision Mobile, additional configuration may be required depending on your network and the method chosen to connect.
exacqVision Server/Client 24.09 and above add the Remote Connections feature, found as a node on the left hand navigation tree of the desktop Client.
Administrators that Enable Remote Connectivity may generate single-use access codes to to provide to their users. The user enters this access code along with their exacqVision user credentials to connect.
NOTE: Before enabling Remote Connectivity, read the manual or view our user video to understand the Mobile Optimized Streaming component of this feature.
Using this connection method, no ports need to be configured for inbound traffic on your firewall, making setup easier. The server initiates outbound communication to our secure Remote Connectivity switchboard in the cloud. Note, that this method requires exacqVision to have internet access.
The mobile user does not need to know the URL and exacqVision facilitates adding multiple Servers to the app with a single access code. The Remote Connections feature also enforces TLS encrypted communication between the exacqVision Mobile app and the exacqVision Server.
Use of this method is covered in detail within the exacqVision Client User Manual, as well as in the exacqVision Remote Connections video in our Video Library.
If your users are only connecting from inside the same LAN as the exacqVision Server, there is no need to configure Remote Connections or Port Forwarding. Simply use the ‘Enter a URL instead’ link when adding the Server connection and enter the internal IP address of the exacqVision Server host machine.
For those administrators who prefer to use traditional methods, you may still configure your firewall to allow incoming connections.
The exacqVision Server listens for connections from exacqVision Mobile on port 8443 by default. This may be changed following the Changing the Mobile Listening Port for exacqVision Server article.
Mobile users will select the ‘Enter a URL instead’ link within the app when adding their Server connection, then enter the externally facing IP address of the site or hostname. If the port number has been customized using the article linked above they will add this to the end of the IP address or hostname.

exacqVision Advantage
<br>
When configured properly, exacqVision may be configured to react to Elgato Stream Deck to take actions, such as changing camera views or activating output alarms. This is made possible by exacqVision’s Serial Profile settings combined with Event Monitoring or Event Linking. This guide provides the steps needed to get started, which you may customize to suit your needs.
IMPORTANT: This guide is provided for user benefit, but Exacq Support will not provide assistance or troubleshooting for Stream Deck devices or Stream Deck software.

GoToCamera 09 because in later steps we will configure a camera panel to change when pressed. This text can be anything you’d like because you will pair it to an action in later steps.<br><br>\x0a, to the end of your command. This is used to help separate commands when received by exacqVision.<br><br>
<br>
You will need Full Admin or Power User privileges on the system to perform the following steps. The steps in this section are performed only once on each NVR you are sending commands to.

NOTE: If you need additional help with the configuration of Serial Ports or Serial Profiles, please see the exacqVision User Manual or refer to our User Training Videos on the Exacq Support Portal covering these features.
<br>
As this document is not intended to be a complete training guide on the use of exacqVision’s Event Monitoring and Event Linking features, we will provide a single example of changing a camera panel to display another camera when the button is pressed. Keep in mind that Event Monitoring provides client-side actions visible to the user of the workstation, such as changing camera panels, live Views, enabling audio, or digital PTZ presets, while Event Linking performs server-side actions, such as recording video, mechanical PTZ presets, auto exports, sending notifications, or triggering webhooks.
NOTE: For additional help with the configuration of Event Monitoring or Event Linking, please see the exacqVision User Manual or refer to our User Training Videos on the Exacq Support Portal on these features.
For this example:
<br>
Use the same Event Monitoring profile you just created to continue adding additional Client Actions for each CommandSender button you have configured on the Stream Deck.
Navigate to the Live view in the Client window to test your setup.
<br><br>
<br>
If you’d like to create a button on your Stream Deck to automatically open an instance of the exacqVision Client, this can be done without additional plugins or serial data configuration using the built-in Open action.
Within Stream Deck, perform the following:
C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Client\edvrclient.exeUsers of customized Client .XDV files may open instruct the Open action to open the client using their desired .XDV file by adding the file path to the file. e.g.- C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Client\edvrclient.exe -F"C:\Users\myUserName\Documents\myCustomFile.xdv"
