1.IntroductionThe Video Management Software is a device management softwaresuite for small video surveillance solutions. It is easy to deploy andoperate and suitable for scenarios with relatively small number ofvideo channels, such as super markets, park areas, and residentialcommunities.The Video Management Software implements various videosurveillance services, such as live view, playback, cameramanagement, recording storage management, alarms, sequencedisplay, video wall and e-map. The Video Management Softwarealso integrates various storage functions, such as NVR storage, DVRstorage, and the Video Storage Software. It is applicable formedium- and small-sized video surveillance applications.1.Typical Application1
2.Installation, Upgrade, and UninstallSystem RequirementsThe Video Management Software components shall be installed onPCs that meet the performance requirements. They can beinstalled on a single PC or on separated PCs.System requirements for Video Management SoftwareItemRequirementsOperatingSystemMicrosoft Windows 7/Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit).CPUIntel Pentium IV 3.0 GHZ or higher.Memory1 GB or higher.NetworkcardGigabit Ethernet network card (or higher) arerecommended.Displaydefinition1280*720 or higher.System requirements for Video Storage SoftwareItemRequirementsOperatingSystemMicrosoft Windows 7/Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit).CPUIntel Pentium IV 3.0 GHZ or higher.Memory1 GB or higher.1 TB or higher.HDDNetworkcardNote:The capacity of hard disk depends on the volume ofdata to be stored. You can figure out the capacity bythe formula provided in the note below.Gigabit Ethernet network card (or higher) arerecommended.2
System requirements for Media Switch SoftwareItemRequirementsOperatingMicrosoft Windows 7/Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit).SystemCPUIntel Pentium IV 3.0 GHZ or higher.Memory1 GB or higher.NetworkcardGigabit Ethernet network card (or higher) arerecommended.NOTE! Previewing multi-channel videos simultaneously orvideos of higher resolution requires higher hardwareconfiguration. The software operates on a 32-bit operating system,or on a 64-bit operating system that can host 32-bitsoftware programs. The recommended hard disk space for Video StorageSoftware should be able to store 1080P (6 Mbps bitrate) video for one week. To store more channels ofvideos with longer time, use hard disks with largercapacities. To figure out the hard disk space required,please use the formula: capacity (GB) stream (Mbps)x 60 x 60 x 24 x days x channel numbers/8/1024. Forexample, the capacity required for a 6 Mbps video tobe stored for seven days is about 443 GB and that for25 channels of CIF (1 Mbps stream) is about 1.8 TB.InstallationTo install the Video Management Software:1.
