An IP video server utilises standard PC systems and Video Management Software (VMS) to record, replay and analyse camera video streams. A VMS based system is typically more sophisticated than a NVR system. Key benefits of a VMS system include:
\n\n\n\n
more flexibility and greater customisation options
\n\tnon-proprietary support for cameras, particularly those which confirm to ONVIF standards
\n\tsupport for a greater number of connected cameras
\n\tmore frequent upgrades which incorporate new features or fix software bugs
\n\t\n\n
The number of cameras that can be supported by a VMS is directly related to the specifications of the VMS server. Video streaming, particularly high definition, uses more CPU capacity while storage requirements also increase.
\n\n\n\n
There is a variety of VMS solutions available on the market, each priced according to the sophistication of features incorporated in the software. A VMS will do everything that a NVR solution will do. However, a VMS solution will also facilitate advanced functions such as video analytics and can be configured to automate alerts or other actions based on activity in the camera's field of vision.
\n\n\n\n
A NVR solution is best suited to simple or smaller applications such as a small office, convenience store or home. A VMS is useful in scenarios such as larger offices, building entrance points, parking lots, situations requiring frequent review of captured video, areas with frequent activity or motion and where analytics is required.
