A Video Management System (VMS) – also known as video management software or video surveillance management system – is an integral component of an organization’s security infrastructure. It enables businesses to capture, record, store, retrieve, view, and analyze video collected from their surveillance cameras.
A VMS is an important tool to have nowadays, as surveillance cameras are now being utilized across many industries. A VMS not only helps organizations manage their surveillance system cameras and keep an eye out for suspicious activity, but also review and analyze their recorded video to uncover valuable insights. For example, retail stores can now utilize video analytics collected through their VMS to track customer behavior, long checkout lines, and dwell time, allowing these stores to improve their customer experience and enhance their bottom line. While video surveillance is still commonly used under circumstances regarding safety, other departments are also beginning to realize its value.
A VMS is a software component within a security camera system, commonly used to consolidate disparate pieces of that system (i.e. cameras, encoders, recording systems, storage infrastructure, analytics software) into a single pane of glass. It amalgamates the functionality of several video surveillance tools, into a single, unified solution.
In short,VMS system can access to, capture and collect the video from the network video devices (both live and recorded). It then stores that video to dedicated data storage media (on-premises, external locations, or in the cloud), based on automated policies, pre-determined by the organization. That is how a VMS system work. When an employee needs to access surveillance video, the VMS provides an interface for retrieving and viewing both recorded and live surveillance footage. Some VMS solutions even have the ability to tag surveillance video with metadata, making it fast and easy to retrieve down the line, through intelligent search.
Daxun SVMS Professional is a centralized management software platform provided by Hangzhou Daxun Digital Technology Co.,Ltd for integrating and managing security systems. It captures, collects and manages the video data from front-end 3rd party security devices of different brands, protocols, and types, then stores that video to SVMS server (You can deploy server locally in your company, or the cloud). It provides centralized video monitoring, alarm detection, alarm host, access control, e-map, video wall, face recognition,license plate, AI alarm, and more.
Simplicity
A VMS provides a single interface for capturing, storing, and retrieving surveillance video, reducing complexities within an organization’s security infrastructure. It also helps businesses stay inline with compliance and legal requirements, by setting up automatic policies for retaining and storing surveillance video for designated periods of time. If an organization needs to go back and review surveillance footage for legal reasons, their VMS will make sure that footage is still available.
Safety
Video management systems are helpful tools for supporting employee and customer safety. They allow organizations to perform real-time monitoring of the activities occurring within their facilities, including foul play or anything suspicious. Organizations are also able to utilize their VMS to ensure employees are following established safety and security regulations, especially if an accident or injury occurs. Being able to go back and review past security video footage is a vital tool for organizations under investigation that may be facing legal accusations or workers’ compensation claims. Additionally, organizations within specific industries are often required by law to have surveillance video available for designated periods of time, to meet compliance requirements. A VMS enables them to do so, setting automated policies for retaining and retrieving video.
Scales as business grows
The SVMS Pro platform adopts component-based, modular design and master-slave open flexible architecture. That is one master control server supports multiple storage or streaming media slave/sub servers.Users can configure multiple streaming media and storage servers according to the requirements of the projects to realize appropriate streaming allocation and reduce the pressure of the master control server. With the increasing number of requesting video or the more needs for long time storage, users only need to increase the number of streaming media or storage slave/sub servers without change the original deployment, so as to meet the comprehensive requirements for system reliability, scalability,security and load capacity in the actual networking. the platform can be scaled as your business needs evolve. You can expand it from a small 100-channel system to an ulta-large-scale system that links up to 1000,000 channels of equipment.
Simplifies deployment
There is no need to dismantle the original network security system, without changing the original monitoring deployment, the independent network video surveillance systems in various places can be easily managed together with powerful SVMS Pro platform through cascading.
Integrated and open
SVMS Pro offers multiple protocols for third-party development and integration. It allows integration of other systems and device via API, SDK, Onvif, EHOME/ISUP, GA/T1400,GB/T28181 etc;Offers RTSP,RTMP, HTTP-FLV,HLS, REST API,Web Socket etc for the third-party development.
SVMS Pro delivers a number of user benefits. It is intuitive and simple to use, can support thousands of cameras, and is secure and always available. It also utilizes metadata extensively to make videos quickly searchable, and provides insights and associations for additional business value.
