2.02 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A. The Video Management System (VMS) shall be a Microsoft Windows®-based video management
and surveillance system consisting of two primary components, as follows:
1. An IP video management system. This application shall:
a. Maintain the database of cameras and recording devices and to provide a web-based
administrative portal to manage the video surveillance system
b. Route video traffic to users as requested and appropriate
c. Record and store video from resources on the network.
2. A client presentation application to allow users to view and manage live and recorded video.

1.02 IP VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Software system functions are based on using hardware that meets the minimum specifications.
No performance guarantee is expressed or implied when the VMS is run on hardware that does
not meet the minimum specifications.
A. The Video Management System (VMS) shall be a Microsoft Windows-based video management and
surveillance system consisting in a single server performing the following functions:
1. Allow users to define users and assign sets of permissions (known as roles) to each user.
2. Record and store video per user-defined retention settings for up to 96 cameras per server
3. Serve live and recorded video to clients on demand
B. The IP video management system shall record video and audio streams from IP cameras and video
encoders on the network.
1. Video: MPEG4, MJPEG, H.264, or H.265 in High, Main, or Base Profile streams from both
standard resolution and megapixel cameras
2. Audio: Bidirectional, full or half duplex compressed via G.711 PCM 8 bit, 8khz mono at 64 Kbps.
C. The system shall support recording schedules, including the ability to record based on motion,
analytic, and alarm events.
D. The IP video management system shall be capable of continuous scheduled alarm/event and motion
recording. Pre- and post- alarm recording shall also be available and shall be fully programmable on
a per channel basis.
E. The IP video management system shall have the ability to record and playback audio streams along
with associated video.
F. The IP Video Management System shall support recording of primary or secondary streams,
individually or simultaneously. The server application can be configured to record a stream in unicast
or multicast.
G. The IP Video Management System shall support video bookmarking, such that users can identify and
recall important moments in recorded video based on the bookmark name or notes that are
associated with it.
H. The IP video management system shall allow the administrator to set minimum and maximum
retention periods for recorded video.
I. The IP video management system shall support network health and monitoring utilizing
third-party SNMP monitoring tools.
J. The IP video management system shall indicate system performance and operation status utilizing a
variety of reports.
K. The IP video management system shall log information for a report when an export action is
performed. This includes username, camera name, start time, and end time of the video clip.
L. The system shall be configurable remotely or over a network.
M. The system shall discover both Pelco and third-party cameras on the network.
N. The system shall allow users to manually add cameras and devices by IP address or DNS hostname.
O. The system shall allow users with sufficient rights to control cameras (pan, tilt, and/or zoom).
P. The system shall support aggregation by a higher-level system, tying multiple servers together in a
single, unified environment.
Q. The system shall support third-party cameras using ONVIF profile S or native drivers.

Section 28 23 00

R. The IP VMS shall support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to authenticate users.
S. The IP video management system shall allow archival of video data to external network locations or
NAS devices over a network connection. The archival schedule shall be either automatic at user-
defined intervals or manually executed.
T. The video management system shall allow an administrator to enable pruning of previously recorded
video by removing P-frames and retaining I-frames only, after a specified duration of days.
U. The video management system shall be available as a hardware server with capacity to record up to
96 cameras at up to 450 Mbps recording throughput (per recorder).
V. The video management system shall be available as a software product that can be installed on
COTS hardware.
W. The server shall support semantic grouping and organization of cameras/devices into groups using
“tags”.
X. The system shall allow users to export video on request; exported video shall be stored locally on the
server or on another network location selected by the administrator.
Y. The system shall support aggregation by a higher-level environment, allowing the IP video
management system to belong to a confederation of servers.
Z. Support for RTP video streaming over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User
Datagram protocol (UDP)
AA. The VMS shall be accessible via a web browser with no software installed for live and playback
functionality.
BB. Basic Analytic capabilities
1. Motion – Receive motion detection events from cameras
2. Alarm – Receive detection of physical alarms from cameras within the system, triggering an event
3. Analytic – Detection of analytic events and edge analytic events from cameras, including those
that are free of charge

CC.Advanced Analytics Suite

cover the available space on the screen without black borders on any side.
j. Cells can be configured to rotate the video stream 90, 180, -90, or -180 degrees.
G. Live View and Playback
1. A list of video and audio sources which users are authorized to access shall be displayed.
2. Each video source shall indicate a list of current viewers to a user with appropriate permissions.

users with appropriate permissions.
7. The client shall playback audio associated with video sources for users with the correct
permissions.
8. Users shall be able to seamlessly switch between live and recorded video on the fly.
9. Live View
