VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The right platform for your project, not a one-size-fits-all compromise
Our Video Management System (VMS) offering is built on three distinct platform tiers, each selected to match the complexity, scale, and integration needs of different project scenarios. For large, multi-system deployments that require deep unification of video, access control, intrusion, and analytics, with standardised workflows and SOPs, we deploy an enterprise-grade unified security platform. For mid-scale projects that require integrating a few subsystems with strong scalability and an open architecture, we leverage an open, flexible VMS platform. For projects involving up to approximately 2,500 cameras, straightforward video-centric requirements, and multi-site management, we utilise a streamlined, video-first VMS platform.
This tiered approach ensures that every deployment from single-site installations to city-wide surveillance networks is matched with the right balance of capability, complexity, and cost, while maintaining a consistent operator experience, robust cybersecurity, and long-term supportability. All three platform tiers support open standards, extensive device compatibility, and integration with third-party analytics, enabling flexible, future-proof designs that grow with the customer’s needs.
Platform Selection by Scenario
Unified Security Platform — Complex, Multi-System Projects
Best suited for large-scale, regulated environments such as cities, airports, hospitals, and enterprise campuses, where video, access control, licence plate recognition, intrusion detection, and communications must operate as a unified system. Provides native modules for access control, plate recognition, intercom, and intrusion within a single console, reducing the need for multiple disconnected platforms. Supports standardised SOPs, threat-level management, and automated incident workflows across all integrated subsystems, ideal when the project requires deep integration with building management, mass notification, and operational analytics, as well as strong cybersecurity and audit capabilities.
Open, Flexible VMS Platform — Mid-Scale, Multi-System Integration
Designed for projects that need to integrate video with a limited number of additional systems — such as basic access control, POS, or analytics — without the full complexity of a unified platform. Offers an open architecture that supports thousands of camera models and devices, scales from single-site to multi-site deployments, and provides strong SDK and API support for custom integrations. Well-suited for commercial facilities, transportation hubs, and industrial sites where flexibility and device compatibility are priorities.
Streamlined, Video-First Platform — Up to ~2,500 Cameras
Optimised for projects up to around 2,500 cameras where the primary need is reliable, scalable video management with basic multi-site support and lightweight integrations. Delivers a simple, intuitive operator interface with fast deployment, automatic camera discovery, and built-in health monitoring, supported by a distributed server architecture for local redundancy and cloud-based organisation layers for centralised multi-site management. Ideal for retail chains, schools, warehouses, and mid-sized enterprises that need strong video performance without extensive subsystem integration.
Key Features (Across All Platform Tiers)
Scalability & Architecture
Supports deployments from a few cameras to thousands, with options for on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-based architectures. Multi-site management includes centralised user administration, role-based access, and federated configurations, backed by failover recording and redundant server options to ensure continuous operation in the event of hardware or network issues.
Device & System Integration
Broad compatibility with IP cameras, encoders, and devices from major manufacturers via native drivers and ONVIF support. Integrates with access control, intrusion alarms, POS, analytics, and command-and-control platforms through open APIs and SDKs, with support for third-party video analytics, licence plate recognition, and AI modules as add-on layers.
Operator Experience & Workflow
A unified operator console handles live viewing, playback, alarm management, and camera health monitoring, with customizable layouts, maps, and dashboards tailored to the operator roles of security, operations, and management. Bookmarking, evidence export, and audit trails support investigations and compliance reporting.
Cybersecurity & Compliance
Encrypted communication among clients, servers, and cameras is paired with secure authentication, role-based permissions, two-factor options, and detailed audit logs for user activity. Privacy protection features such as masking and anonymisation support sensitive areas and regulatory compliance.
Deployment & Support
Rapid deployment tools, including automatic camera discovery, batch configuration, and remote management, simplify rollout, while centralised firmware and software update management keeps large camera estates up to date. Long-term support roadmaps and active partner ecosystems ensure ongoing training, customisation, and maintenance.
Connects devices and systems from any manufacturer on one open platform, protecting existing investments and giving you the freedom to choose best-of-breed technology for every application with no vendor lock-in.
Cross-references data from multiple sources to catch complex events that individual systems would miss on their own, for example, linking a failed access card swipe, a motion sensor alert, and an unrecognised vehicle into a single confirmed security breach.
Walks every operator through a predefined, step-by-step response procedure when an incident occurs, ensuring consistent, auditable, and rapid handling regardless of who is on shift.
Triggers preconfigured responses the instant an event occurs, unlocking emergency exits, activating lighting, and notifying first responders the moment a fire alarm is raised, without waiting on a human decision.
Displays all security assets and active incidents on a live, interactive map. Operators click a camera icon to pull up live video or a door icon to lock or unlock it remotely, with full geospatial context for every event.
Logs every event, action, and operator response automatically, creating a complete audit trail for post-incident analysis, compliance reporting, and performance review.
Lets security managers monitor systems, receive alerts, and respond to incidents from a smartphone or tablet, keeping control in hand from anywhere, not just the control room.
Analyses historical event data to identify patterns and forecast emerging risks, helping teams move from reactive monitoring to proactive threat prevention.
Centralises visibility into available security personnel, vehicles, and equipment, so operators can dispatch the right response assets to the right location, every time.
Applies live changes to rules, thresholds, and device configurations across all connected subsystems without interrupting operations or requiring changes to each system individually.
Continuously checks the status of every connected device, flagging a faulty camera, offline sensor, or failed component before it creates a coverage gap, not just after a security event occurs.
Runs on redundant servers, gateways, and databases with automatic failover, so a subsystem failure never interrupts control room operations or compromises business continuity.
