C. Scalability – the VMS shall be able to stand alone as a video management server or function as part of a larger multi server system.
D. Flexibility – the VMS software shall provide support for a wide variety of IP cameras, PTZ protocols and analog cameras.
PART 3 OVERVIEW
3.01 PRIMARY COMPONENTS
The VMS shall consist of the following 5 primary components:
A. Video Recording - Individual cameras shall be recorded according to rules defined on a per-camera basis, such as recording resolution and bitrate. Recording specific cameras or groups of cameras shall be able to be triggered either by scheduling or by sensors. Different scheduling options shall include continuous recording, motion-based recording, recording when a sensor is triggered, or a combination of the three. The non-motion frame rate shall be able to be set at one value and when motion is detected in the video stream, the recorder shall switch to the higher frame rate set for the analog camera.
B. Live View - All cameras connected to the VMS shall be viewed in real-time. The VMS Live View shall support remote operation of Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras and standard monitoring features such as video sequencing, various split screen mode options, and user configurable display groups. Virtual Matrixing shall also be supported for VMS installations running on DVR systems with on-board video decoding. Live video feeds shall display icons indicating which cameras are recording at any given time as well as the trigger-type for recordings in-progress (schedule, motion, etc). While in VMS Live View it shall also be possible to monitor the status of sensors and alarms in real-time.
C. Playback - The playback module shall deliver an intuitive ways to browse, search, and review video recordings. The video navigation pane shall allow users to quickly find the date, time and camera they are looking for. Playback controls shall deliver the ability to speed up, slow down, and rewind videos in real-time, while the Play List and Video Timeline shall allow users to quickly jump between videos. Downloading individual video files or backing up multiple clips by time, date, and camera shall be easy with the integrated video backup module and a video download button provided for each clip in the Play List.
D. Emap - The Emap system shall give the user an overhead view of the security network and providing a high level of situational awareness. The VMS software shall find cameras and preview video feeds by physical location instead of the user having to memorize camera names. The VMA software shall display sensor and motion alerts in real-time when and where they occur.
E. Event Manager – The VMS software shall be able to track alerts, alarms, video loss, and other important system events in the Event Manager module. User access to settings screens, inbound and outbound network connections, and more shall be able to be sorted and reviewed in a configurable interface. Logs shall be able to be exported or selectively forwarded via email. The system also shall allow administrators to log an acknowledgement for any recorded event, along with optional notes and file attachments.
