Considerations When Selecting A Digital Video Management Platform

A digital video management system acts as the front end interface to the operators of a security system. It is the most visible component in a security and surveillance installation and often the most important component to decide on. The DVMS features and level of integration with cameras and other security sensor devices will ultimately determine if it will meet the needs of your organization or customer.

The primary purpose of a DVMS is to display live video from attached cameras, record video and allow for easy investigations of security events. The DVMS often interfaces with other components of the security system such as Access Control, Video Analytics, Point of Sale terminals etc. and can act as the interface for all components in the security system.
