Case Study: Virtua achieves centralized, cost-effective IP video surveillance and seamless analog-to-IP migration with Exacq Technologies

Virtua - Customer Case Study

Virtua, a non-profit comprehensive healthcare system in New Jersey with four hospitals and numerous outpatient facilities, faced an aging surveillance setup of analog cameras and a cumbersome VMS that could not meet coverage, resolution or usability needs. Seeking a cost-effective path to migrate to IP cameras while preserving existing infrastructure, Virtua and integrator CM3 Building Solutions selected Exacq Technologies’ exacqVision solution—including hybrid and Z-Series IP camera servers and exacqVision Enterprise VMS—to centralize and modernize their video surveillance.

CM3 deployed 30 exacqVision Z-Series and hybrid servers with exacqVision Enterprise VMS and exacqVision Enterprise Health Manager, integrating Arecont Vision, Panasonic and Axis IP cameras while retaining roughly 500 analog cameras and adding 1,000+ IP cameras; servers range from 2 TB to 40 TB and run on a dedicated dual‑NIC network. The Exacq Technologies solution enabled centralized ICC monitoring with 200+ users, searchable video in minutes, automated health alerts, reduced server and software licensing costs, improved operational response and a demonstrable ROI across Virtua’s campuses.
