By combining software and hardware, a video management system (VMS) helps users automatically monitor events from any number of surveillance (CCTV) cameras, alarms, or sensors. VMS hardware can include cameras, encoders for analog camera systems, and servers for video processing and storage.

Video management systems are globally scalable solutions optimized for command and control that synchronizes video surveillance with other security systems into one powerful interface. The system enables high-performance video streaming, and cutting-edge analytics and video intelligence for streamlined operation and security management.
