Operation center plays a significant role in the whole CCTV system. Security guards can check live view, playback and do video patrol through monitors or TV wall. In addition, alarm management, and third-party system integration can be realized by VMS.

Data Center & Storage

NGN Architecture

Media streaming and signaling are processed separately. Video management server only handle signaling. The server’s failure will not influence the video storage and live view.

In traditional architecture, video recording would be lost when recording server stops running. This issue will be overcome in UNV’s NGN architecture where network camera sends the stream to IP SAN directly based on iSCSI standard storage protocol. It significantly decreases the investment because there is no media server and recording server in NGN architecture.

VMS 1+1 Hot Spare

UNV VMS supports 1+1 hot spare function. If the Master VMS breaks down, the Standby VMS will take over the service immediately. All service and data will be transferred back to Master VMS when it recovers from failure.

High-Reliable IP Storage

Different kinds of carrier-class hardware designs ensure the high reliability and ability to work 7/24.

Fully Redundant Modular Design

Anti-Dust & Sulfide Alarm Design

Anti-Vibration HDD Module

ANR

UNV cameras can automatically store video recordings into camera’s SD card when network is disconnected. Once the network is restored, the video recordings will be sent back to storage server. Thus, all of video recordings would be saved even network fails temporarily.

IP Storage N+1

UNV IP SAN supports N+1 hot backup. If any active IP SAN fails, the standby IP SAN will automatically take over the service.

Cost-Effective System

UNV IP storage adopts unique structure allowing 48 bays at a height of 4U with front panel hot swappable. Hence, UNV solution can save more than 50% rack space and much more power consumption under the same condition (1000-ch 2MP IP cameras/ 90 days storage).

Traditional System

UNV system

Abundant VMS Function

Complete CCTV Function

UNV VMS is a reliable and easy-to-use management platform. Live view/playback, TV wall management, and user role management are all available on VMS client.

User Role Management

In order to meet the different access demands in different departments, UNV VMS can build up a credential system for every departments such as airport management, public security, security check, Immigration, fire center and so on. It improves the efficiency significantly.

Watermark for Data safety

Video recordings can be watermarked with customized content to prevent video recordings from unauthorized editing, which ensures creditable video record.

Quickly Locate Emergency

User-friendly Interface

UNV VMS is an easy-to-use management platform designed for CCTV system. Its flexible and feature-rich interface helps security guards easier and more efficiently verify alarms and coordinate a response.

Digital Zoom

UNV cameras support digital zoom function, and it is ideal for large areas where needs high definition cameras such as parking lots and airplane runway. Cameras can provide more details with digital zoom functions.

Video Track

When the object is captured by multiple cameras, multiple windows can be displayed on one screen once video track function is activated. Click one of the cameras in the E-map, the live views of both that camera and cameras nearby are displayed, helping to locate the moving object.

Video Frame Extraction

Video can be divided into several parts with the same time frame, the first frame of each part would be displayed automatically on the screen, forming a group of pictures to help security guards locate the object quickly.

E-Map

VMS client supports flashing alarms on E-maps and links live view on a video wall. It enables security guards to faster locate alarming area, which significantly shortens their reaction time.

Not Only VMS

Uniview provides a comprehensive security platform which can integrate with other security subsystems such as access control system, alarm system, etc. And UNV management platform also provides interface for other systems to obtain live view, records and other functions through SDK.
