The integration allows exacqVision servers to connect when the Prism Skylabs software is installed

Exacq Technologies, a leading manufacturer of video management system (VMS) software and servers used for video surveillance, has announced a new integration with Prism Skylabs. This integration gives exacqVision customers a turnkey solution to more effectively manage their business, including:

With the Prism Skylabs integration, exisiting exacqVision servers will be automatically detected and connected when the Prism Skylabs software is installed. This Prism Skylabs software has been tested and approved as a certified server application to run directly on the exacqVision server. Prism Skylabs’ cloud service collects information from the exacqVision server and video management system (VMS) software to create easy-to-understand visual summaries and reports that can be simultaneously accessed by any number of users. These reports and summaries include heatmaps, customer counts, and footpaths. These visual images and analytics can be accessed on demand, stored for any period of time, and shared easily via email.

“The new Prism Skylabs integration with exacqVision servers and VMS software provides our users with more tools to enhance their business intelligence and make smarter business decisions,” said Dave Underwood, president of Exacq Technologies. “This integration represents our commitment to adding third-party software applications to our exacqVision solution.”
