OVERVIEW AND REQUIREMENTS
The exacqVision Web Service allows you to use a web browser to view live video, search and play back recorded
video, and control pan/tilt/zoom functions on cameras connected to exacqVision servers. The Web Service
connects to the exacqVision server as a client and transcodes captured video into JPEG files. The service then sends
the JPEGs to the browser as fast as requested by the browser, or as fast as possible if the requested rate is too high
for the connection.
NOTE: The exacqVision Web Service is pre-installed on all exacqVision A Series and Z Series systems. It can also be
installed on exacqVision ELX Series systems. (Do not install it on exacqVision EL Series systems.)
The exacqVision Web Service works with browsers as shown in the following diagram:
The exacqVision Web Service is normally run as an integrated system on an exacqVision Server. Alternatively, a
distributed system with a dedicated web server can be used for higher-capacity systems. Video can be viewed on
the local network by using a web browser, over the Internet using a web browser, or on a mobile device using a
mobile browser or exacqVision application.
