Modular & Highly Scalable Design
CMS V3 consists of 5 functional modules. Microsoft SQL Server stores comprehensive client information, user’s settings and event logs. Information Server acts as a communication platform for all CMS V3 modules. Video Server is the connection gateway between CMS, TeleEye video recording servers and network cameras. It supports 8 concurrent connections from TeleEye video recording servers and network cameras via Internet. Playback Server locates and streams the selected video footage to Video Server. Video Server is an interactive interface for operators to configure CMS V3 and conduct video monitoring according to access rights. The architecture is expandable for monitoring up to 200 sites and employed on different PCs, depending on the designed capacity of the CMS V3 system.
