With exacqVision surveillance systems, you can access video from your Windows PC, Linux computer, Macintosh or just about any handheld mobile device with Internet access. Imagine pulling up live surveillance video from your iPhone because you receive an e-mail on the same device indicated that an alarm has been triggered.

Our company, Exacq Technologies, utilizes today's latest network video surveillance cameras (also referred to as "IP cameras) and legacy analog surveillance cameras with our exacqVision Video Management System (VMS) software. Analog cameras have been used in security applications for well over fifty years. While the basic technoloy is dated, they are still reliable and plentiful in the field. Ripping these cameras out to replace them with network cameras is not always the best and most cost-efficient solution. However, network cameras offer greater video resolution while utilizing computer networks to transmit video data. Analog surveillance video is similar to stand
