The DETEXI Network Video Management system gives users the ability to monitor and record video and/or audio over an IP (Internet Protocol based) computer network such as a local area network (LAN) or the Internet. In a simple IP-surveillance system, this involves the use of a network camera (or an analog camera with a video encoder), a network switch, and PC with DETEXI software for viewing, managing and storing video. DETEXI is an advanced client/server-based software that provides support for multiple, simultaneous users and thousands of cameras. The hardware requirements of the DETEXI NVR are not complex — use standard components found in the IT industry. DETEXI IP-Surveillance installation can be as simple or as sophisticated as your needs require. Cameras and licenses can be added one by one and the system hardware can be expanded to meet increased performance requirements. In between the fully analog and the fully digital systems, DETEXI software allows solutions which are partly digital. These solutions include a number of digital components but do not represent fully digital systems. Video encoders (also called a video servers) make it possible to move toward a network video system without having to discard existing analog equipment.

DETEXI software supports a wide range of network cameras from the world’s leading manufacturers and continues to expand the list. Video Motion Detection (VMD) residing in the DETEXI software provides VMD functionality to network cameras or video encoders that do not originally embed this feature. This alleviates the workload for any recording devices in the system and makes event-driven surveillance possible. DETEXI is an open platform software and has another advantage in that it can be more easily integrated with access control devices, building management systems, industrial control systems and audio. This allows users to manage video and other building controls through a single program and interface.
The system has the ability to complete different kind of actions at many different stages of video recording and viewing. This allows for immediate response to things that occur — turn on/off lights, start recording alarm video, close security gates, and even inform personnel via phone or other means. These and other capabilities of the DETEXI system make it more than just a video recording tool. Software motion detection, alarm detection, other events, and the actions that can be taken on these alarms and events make the DETEXI an Intelligent Network Video Management System.
