A quick introduction to get started with the exacqVision Mobile app for those users just getting started. We also feature several other videos on exacqVision Mobile covering its use and each feature in greater depth.

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.
Connection Option 1 – Remote Connections
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.
Connection Option 2 – Inside LAN
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.
Connection Option 3 – Port Forwarding
For those administrators who prefer to use traditional methods, you may still configure your firewall to allow incoming connections.
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 Mobile
exacqVision Mobile requires Server version 24.09 or higher
Remote Connectivity requires Client 24.09 or higher as the Client is needed to connect to the cloud switchboard and generate access codes
If SSA expiration or OS requirements prevent updating to Server 24.03, users will need to continue using Exacq Mobile 3, with the exacqVision Web Service

The exacqVision Mobile application provides the ability to connect straight to the exacqVision Server service, without the use of the exacqVision Web Service, when using server version 24.09 and higher. This connection can be made directly or by means of the Remote Connections feature. This article instructs users on how to determine which method a mobile user is/has connected with.
Open the exacqVision Desktop Client software.<br><br>
Navigate to the Configuration screen.<br><br>
Select the Server name from the system tree on the left-hand side to reach the System Information page.<br><br>
The System Usage panel in the upper-left lists all currently connected users.<br><br>
Mobile connected users will display ‘ipv4:‘ before the IP address in the Address column.<br><br>
The IP address of the mobile device will be shown when connected directly to the system without the use of the Remote Connections feature.<br><br>
If connected through the Remote Connectivity agent, the IP address will be 127.0.0.1.<br><br>
If searching for prior connections using the Login History tab on the bottom half of the System Information page, the addresses there will also be shown according to items 5, 6, and 7 above.<br><br>
