The powerful and easy-to-use Video Management Software

AiVu-VMS is an application meant for the management, viewing and transfer of video-streams from cameras and devices of a video-surveillance network.  It is a reliable, high-performance videomanagement solution that includes all functionalities required for the configuration of devices, the management of user profiles, the distribution of video streams and the storage of recordings.

AiVu-VMS is available on virtual platforms or standard servers and thanks to a highly-scalable server architecture allows to create solutions capable of meeting any security requirement.

The front end generates HTML5 pages for remote access from PC clients and mobile devices. AiVu-VMS manages access to resources from external networks via a proxy module, allowing access to video streams over the Internet while preventing direct access to video cameras and connected AiVu-NVR video recorders.

Besides, the software optimizes the distribution of video streams to clients by employing a gateway module capable of replicating streams and performing on-the-fly restreaming, to satisfy the needs of clients connected over a limited-bandwidth network.

AiVu-VMS is an open platform designed for integration into third-party applications (supervisory systems, access control systems, etc.).

  • Browser-integrated H264/WebM streaming with no need of plugins
  • Integration into third-party applications (supervisory systems, access control systems, alarm control units)

Ideal for distributed and large-scale video surveillance applications

AiVu-VMS is based on a client-server architecture to provide maximum flexibility, customization and integration. A single AiVu-VMS server can supervise many distributed AiVu-NVR recording devices and Onvif-compliant video cameras, efficiently managing all connected devices, independent of the system’s size and geographical distribution.

The great performance of AiVu-VMS and the wide variety of features ensure the transmission of video streams to decoders for display on monitors and access to live and recorded streams both from fixed workstations and from mobile devices of security personnel, allowing to reduce response times.

Furthermore, AiVu-VMS can manage AiVu-Client D, the videowall controller specific to control rooms that allows operators to constantly control monitored areas, to share in real time information, live and recorded video streams, images and alarms and to coordinate at best the response procedures in case of any event.

Optionally, AiVu-VMS can integrate video analytics algorithms for real-time detection of a wide range of events capable of affecting the security of monitored areas and related to people, objects or vehicles, but also acquire data useful for generating statistics and business intelligence analysis.

AiVu-VMS architecture

User-friendly interface

A frontend interface accessible from any browser allows access to alarms and live and recorded streams, and includes a full range of tools tailored to the needs of distributed and large-scale video surveillance solutions. A single interface provides complete control over all connected devices, user lists and available features, independently of system size.

Simultaneous display of multiple video cameras

The multi-monitor display mode allows security personnel to simultaneously view up to 16 live or recorded streams. The use of timelines and time filters makes video stream selection as simple as possible.

Interactive maps

AiVu-VMS improves the user experience by supporting static maps and mapping services thanks to an internal server, to provide an overview of the monitored video sites. All is required is to upload the maps of interest (buildings, warehouses, large open areas, etc.) then simply just drag and drop icons corresponding to deployed video cameras and NVR devices. The map of monitored sites can be displayed on the home page of the AiVu-VMS interface: with just a few clicks it is possible to access images and respond to any event as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Easy access to recordings

The recording archive is divided in time intervals to simplify browsing and not require to view large amounts of streams. The advanced search tools allow to very easily find significant events, by selecting recordings based on date, time or video camera of interest. Recordings of interest can be downloaded quickly and easily by using a dedicated selection form.

Alarm Manager

AiVu-VMS provides the real-time management of alarms generated by video signal loss, network failures or status changes of digital inputs. Integration with video analytics software modules is available as an option. All alarms, except for video or network failures, are automatically associated with the corresponding video recordings. AiVu-VMS allows the creation and the management of lists of recipients of automatic alarm notifications. Warnings can be sent to mobile devices of security staff, thus avoiding the need for fixed workstations and reducing emergency intervention times.

Advanced user profiles

AiVu-VMS allows system administrators to define different levels of access to the features of AiVu-VMS, based on the tasks of users or according to a hierarchical structure. Access to video cameras, to stored video recordings, to the alarm console and to the system configuration interface can all be set based on corporate and/or operational needs.

Decoder management

A dedicated tool allows users to send live and/or recorded streams to connected decoders to display images on monitors. All is required is to select the video cameras of interest (and the time interval in case of recordings) and drag and drop in the layout of the decoder to automatically display the video stream on the monitor.

AiVu-VMS optionals

AiVu-VMS8_it

AiVu-Norm

The Normalizer module acts as a proxy for managing access to video streams from any video server or IP video camera compatible with the AiVu system (when no AiVu-NVR devices are involved): when two or more clients simultaneously request the display of a same video, AiVu-Norm connects to the device forwarding a single request and it retransmits the video stream using the parameters requested by the clients.

AiVu-VMS8_it

AiVu-Demux

The Demultiplexer module manages access to video streams from cameras connected to an AiVu-NVR device, without re-compressing images: with multiple simultaneous client requests for the same stream, AiVu-Demux forwards a single request to the NVR and returns streams to the clients according to format, resolution and frame rate parameters set for the selected camera.

Vehicle license plate recognition

AiVu-VMS integrates video cameras for the recognition of license plates, associating the acquired information (license plate, date/time, etc.) with the video recording corresponding to each vehicle. Vehicle Plate Recognition can be employed in parking lot management, allowing to evaluate the current occupation as well as its variations over time.

Videowall management

AiVu-VMS can manage a controller specifically designed by Aitek for control rooms, where a large number of streams from IP video cameras or video servers must be displayed on the monitors composing a videowall. AiVu-VMS provides control room operators with real-time access to all available information: live streams, recordings, alarms, maps and all the tools allowing constant control over monitored areas.

Tracking

AiVu-VMS can be employed to manage mobile video surveillance systems (such as those on board public transport, company vehicle fleets, etc.). By using dynamic maps, a dedicated section of the AiVu-VMS interface allows to monitor the path of video recording devices installed on board vehicles and to browse images acquired from connected video cameras.

Digital I/O management

AiVu-VMS allows to assign an input/output signal to a video camera, i.e. sending a command to a remote device by pressing a dedicated button. For example, an opening command to a gate in the view of a video camera can be sent by simply clicking a button in the video viewer of the AiVu-VMS interface.

People/vehicle counting

By integrating dedicated video cameras produced by leading manufacturers, AiVu-VMS provides a reliable tool for automatically counting the number of people or vehicles passing through a gate or detecting the number of people inside the area monitored by the video camera.
