Smart Cities

Consolidate VMS deployments at Smart Cities

An Example

The Problem

• City-wide camera grid Hundreds of street, traffic, and public-space cameras blanket the metro area.

• Two data-center silos North-side and south-side servers were deployed separately to hedge early risk.

• New mission: one command center Unify search, monitoring, and evidence handling under a single pane of glass.

• Complex database merge needed Roles, devices, views, and archives must survive intact.

• Manual approach = weeks Re-enrolling every camera and recorder would inflate costs.

The Solution

• XPort automates the lift Migrates configurations and media from both sites into the new core in hours, not weeks.

• Faster incident response Dispatchers can instantly pull footage from any neighborhood.

• Cuts project spend by 60 %+ Minimal downtime, zero duplicate licensing, lean labor.

The XPort Workflow Recipe

A single run of the Move Recorders, Keep Footage workflow.
