The Pelco VideoXpert ASCII Integration Services enables 3rd party applications to register events, which can trigger actions on the CCTV system. This integration enables alarms sourced in EWS systems to be parsed and presented, to the CCTV system. This can be used to create cause and effect scenarios, where BMS and its associated integrated systems can send events to the CCTV system to trigger camera positioning, film recording, scenarios and video layouts, and more.
