Resilience Features

Eventide NexLog communications recorders offer multiple levels of resilience, including redundant power supplies, redundant hard disk drives (with choices of RAID levels 1, 5, or 10), redundant network capability (via NIC bonding), and multiple choices for archive redundancy and network-based archive storage. The NexLog 740 and NexLog 840 recorders are each equipped with dual hot-swap load-sharing 120/240 VAC power supplies. NexLog 740 recorders are also available on a special-order basis with either dual +24VDC power supplies or dual -48 VDC power supplies).

Advanced Security Features

NexLog Communications Recorders include a multi-tier security system that controls each user's access based on role and channel (or talk group) assignments. NexLog software has been designed to enhance security by encouraging users to employ strong passwords and to use them properly. Password policy options include complexity enforcement, automatic aging, change reminders, expiration, and lock-out. In addition, each user's access and actions are audited and available for review. Recordings can optionally be licensed for encryption-at-rest, further protecting recordings that are stored on the NexLog unit's HDD array.

Metadata Integration Capabilities

In addition to recording audio and PC screens, NexLog communications recorders can support integration to a variety of metadata sources that provide call-associated information. Options include 9-1-1 ANI/ALI integration, (-1-1 SMS integration, SMDR/CDR integration to PBX systems, IP Dispatch console metadata, Radio system metadata, and customized data integrations. In addition, Optional NexLog Application Programming Interface (API) licenses allows third party software developers to implement custom/OEM integrations for recording start/stop control, metadata tagging, query, and media retrieval.

Evaluation questions, answer banks, and skills can all be quickly entered and maintained, and the call evaluation forms can be created through a simple drag and drop process. The evaluation questions and forms can be quickly adapted for special incidents and changing requirements. Quality Factor software's reports are designed to help supervisors measure the quality of call handling and track performance.
