What Is VideoManager EX?
Scalable and Flexible Management for High-Volume Video Operations
Enterprise organizations require more than just basic storage for body-worn video footage. VideoManager EX offers a scalable, web-based solution adaptable to complex, multi-site deployments. Whether hosted in the cloud or on-premises, this platform handles the ingestion, storage, preparation, and sharing of video evidence. Its enterprise-ready features, including live streaming, redaction tools, and custom workflow configurations, make it ideal for industries such as healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.
Unlike public safety solutions, VideoManager EX emphasizes usability and configuration for commercial applications. Administrators can easily customize devices, enforce policies, assign roles, and centralize operations—all while ensuring data remains secure and compliant with industry regulations.
Key Features of VideoManager EX
1. Centralized Device Management
Administrators can configure behavior for Motorola Solutions’ V-Series cameras, including pre-recording options, resolution, LED settings, and haptic feedback. Devices are assigned using different workflows tailored to the needs of the organization, such as RFID touch assignment for shared equipment or permanent assignment for individual operators.
- Device profiles: Customize camera behavior depending on job roles or teams.
- Automatic firmware updates: Keep all devices up-to-date without manual intervention.
2. Secure Video Storage and Upload
VideoManager EX ensures encrypted data transfer and storage, with options for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid configurations. Cameras automatically offload footage via docking stations or Wi-Fi, streamlining the entire workflow.
- Encryption protocols: Employ AES-256 encryption to protect all media at rest or in transit.
- Hybrid architecture: Combine the speed of local storage with the flexibility of cloud backup.
- Automatic deletion policies: Configure retention schedules to comply with local regulations or organizational policies.
3. Advanced Incident Review and Documentation
Preparing video evidence has never been simpler. Administrators and reviewers can tag, redact, and annotate media directly within the platform, ensuring video files are suitable for internal investigations, HR responses, or legal cases.
- Redaction tools: Blur faces, license plates, and other sensitive details; add annotations or zoom effects to emphasize critical content.
- Metadata and tagging: Use custom fields such as checkboxes, dropdowns, or timestamps to organize videos for easy retrieval.
- Collate evidence: Group videos, documents, and other media into incidents for streamlined sharing.
4. User Management and Access Control
Managing a multi-user environment is simplified with over 500 granular permissions. Support for Active Directory integrations and single sign-on streamlines user provisioning and strengthens overall security.
- Role-based access: Assign permissions based on individual roles, ensuring employees access only what they need.
- Self-service account creation: Allow users to create their own profiles using organizational email addresses.
5. Live Streaming and Real-Time Monitoring
Stay informed during active incidents by leveraging live streaming capabilities. Supervisors can view live footage from V-Series cameras directly within VideoManager EX or ONVIF-compliant third-party systems.
- Enhanced situational awareness: Respond to incidents faster with real-time video.
- GPS integration: Complement live streams with geospatial information presented via integration with platforms like ArcGIS.
6. Customizable User Experiences
Adapting to an organization’s unique branding or terminology is simple with customizable interface options.
