Set Up Video Devices and the VMS
This procedure is part of the workflow for integrating video surveillance.
Set up the Video Devices and the Video Management System (VMS)
- Install all the video devices (cameras and so on) in the field.
- Install the VMS server:
- For the Milestone or Siveillance VMS, see Installing the VMS Server.
- For other VMS providers, see the separate documentation.
- Correctly configure all the video devices in the VMS:
- For the Milestone or Siveillance VMS, see Configuring Video Devices in the VMS.
- For other VMS providers, see the separate documentation.
- It is strongly recommended to enable encryption of the video management system.
- For the Milestone or Siveillance VMS, see Encrypting Video Communication Flows.
In the VMS, make sure you provide descriptions for the video cameras that are human-friendly and as concise as possible. Overly long descriptions can prove difficult to read in System Manager, and will be truncated in the Flex client tile component. Since descriptions are acquired into Desigo CC from the VMS without modification, you must configure usable descriptions of appropriate length at the VMS level.
