Purpose
The purpose of a Video Management System (VMS) is to effectively manage and control video surveillance operations. VMS enables users to monitor live video feeds, record and store video footage, and perform various tasks like video playback, analysis, and export. It provides a centralized platform for managing multiple cameras, allowing for efficient video organization, search, and retrieval. VMS also facilitates the integration of video analytics, enabling advanced functionalities like motion detection, facial recognition, and object tracking. With user-friendly interfaces and customizable settings, VMS enhances security, situational awareness, and operational efficiency in various sectors such as commercial, residential, industrial, and public safety.
Types
There are several types of Video Management Systems (VMS) commonly used in video surveillance applications. Network Video Recorders (NVRs) are VMS systems that directly capture, record, and manage IP camera feeds. Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are VMS systems designed for analog camera inputs, converting the analog signal to digital for recording and management. Video Management Software (VMS software) provides a comprehensive platform for managing and controlling video surveillance systems. It can be installed on dedicated servers or run on personal computers. Additionally, there are cloud-based VMS solutions that offer remote access, storage, and management of video footage through internet connectivity. Each type of VMS provides different features and capabilities to meet specific surveillance requirements. Caruth’s team is familiar with most types of VMS & Server systems.
