Integrating Video Surveillance

Configuring a Desigo CC management platform to support video surveillance requires two separate software components:

  • A Video Management System (VMS), which handles the physical connection to video devices and supports video services.
  • The Video extension module, which enables the management platform to interface with the VMS.

This section covers how to set up the VMS and Video extension, and prepare a Desigo CC project with video. For background information, see the reference section.

 

Prerequisites

  • The Video Management extension is installed and included in the active Desigo CC project.

NOTE: When adding the extension, in the Video Services Settings and Video Security expanders, initially leave the default settings. These will be configured in this workflow
