1. Introduction
User Manual VMS Server –V1.0 Page 4 of 75 11/2016
1.1 Overview
VMS is a complete monitoring and recording system for IP Cameras and Video
Encoders. VMS is comprised of:
VMS Server — handles all communication between the cameras, video encoders
and recordings. Each server can communicate with up to 128 cameras/encoders.
VMS Server Client — graphical interface enabling remote viewing and control from
anywhere on the Internet or corporate network.
Several Clients can be connected to the same Server, and each Client can be
connected to several Servers.
1.2 Features
VMS is a powerful IP video surveillance application providing rich features.
Connect to a number of IP cameras (or video encoders) which monitor live video and
audio in real-time.
Record camera streams into local storage and provide a convenient search, playback
and export to video clips of stored data.
Monitor various events from the camera and associate various event actions.
Provide stream relaying service to remote clients.
2. Installation and Start Up
User Manual VMS Server –V1.0 Page 5 of 75 11/2016
2.1 Minimum System Requirements
The following minimum requirements should be met for normal VMS functioning:
Operating system: Windows 10/8.1/8/7, Windows XP Professional, Vista Business,
Server 2003, Server 2008
CPU: Intel Pentium 4, 2.4GHz or higher
RAM: 1GB or larger
Network: Ethernet 100Mbps or higher
Graphics:
- Graphics memory: 128MB or larger
- DirectX9.0c installed
- Screen resolution: 1024x768 or larger
Note: Above minimum requirements are for normal functioning cameras. The
requirements to support more cameras vary depending on the number of channels,
video resolution, framerate, bitrate etc. Please contact MEI technical support to get
the recommendation for a specific configuration for supporting a large number of
cameras.
2.2 Installation
Installation of the VMS is started by double-clicking the installation package.
During the installation, administrator credentials will be prompted.
Default Login:
User ID: admin
Password: 1234
After entering the Default User ID and Password, the user will be prompted to change the
login credentials.
When Automatic login is checked, the VMS doesn’t require a login in the next startup.
Automatic login settings can be changed in the Security setup also.
3. Overview of Application Interface and Functions
User Manual VMS Server –V1.0 Page 6 of 75 11/2016

connection management, PTZ control, audio control, and color control. It also shows
storage status briefly. Each pane can be hidden or shown using corresponding
menu in View menu group.
Camera Tree
Shows registered cameras and provides the connection for
operations. Sensor and alarm device status is attached to the
camera. This provides a way to start a recording instantly.
Storage
Shows the storage status and recorded duration. This
collects the information from the disks which are
selected for recording.
PTZ
Provides PTZ control interface. Circular control
provides full control for pan and tilt including the
speed. Speed control applies to zoom and focus
control. Preset also can be selected here. Further
PTZ camera controls are available on the PTZ control
dialog.
Audio
Provides audio controls for the PC input and output.
Speaker volume and mute can also be controlled.
The audio wave format file can be played on the
camera instead of live input.
3. Overview of Application Interface and Functions
User Manual VMS Server –V1.0 Page 8 of 75 11/2016
Color
Provides video input color controls for the selected
camera.
System Health Monitoring
Displays CPU load, memory status, network load
and status of disk writing.
Video Window
Video Window is the display area for the cameras. It consists of different display
units (DU). The toolbar above the video window provides various display
configurations.
Timeline for Recording Status
Timeline shows the recording status with multiple colors based on the recording
modes of a selected camera. Detailed view can be obtained by changing the scale
of the timeline using the + or – button. Although the timeline is updated periodically,
it is possible to update manually by pressing the refresh button.
Status Bar
The Status Bar shows additional information such as login ID, the number of
currently connected viewing clients, and statistics for serial TX/RX activity.
3. Overview of Application Interface and Functions
User Manual VMS Server –V1.0 Page 9 of 75 11/2016
Note: If the Graphics Mode of the PC is not configured to support video
display in Live Mode, a “Display initialization Error” will be shown in video
area. Live Mode requires the following:
- Minimum 128MB graphics memory
- DirectX9.0c installed and maximum H/W acceleration
- 32-bit color mode
Showing / Hiding the User Interface Components
Visibility of each user interface component is controllable
using the corresponding menu in View menu. When
some features are not used, corresponding components
can be hidden. Sensor/Alarm nodes menu control if the
sensor and alarm nodes in the tree are to be shown or
hidden. In case sensor/alarm devices are not used, more
concise tree can be obtained by hiding the nodes.
Two User Interface Modes: Live Mode and Record Mode
VMS provides two user interface modes: Live Mode and Record Mode. These
toolbar buttons can be used for switching modes.
Live Mode
Live Mode is used when interactive monitoring of live video is required. Decoding
and video display takes essential CPU loading so the number of cameras to be
viewed simultaneously can be limited according to the video encoding settings for
camera and PC’s performance. In terms of functionality, Live Mode supports the
recording function.
Record Mode
When live monitoring in the VMS PC is not essential, Record Mode is preferred. This
doesn’t require CPU loading for decoding and display and more cameras can be
accommodated for recording and streaming. Another advantage of Record Mode is
that it can run in any display mode with any kinds of graphics cards.

User Manual VMS Server –V1.0 Page 10 of 75 11/2016
Streaming to Remote Clients
VMS internally provides streaming capability for remote client viewers. Remote
clients can connect to VMS to get video, audio and event data. This indirect
relaying reduces the camera streaming load as well as the network load. VMS
Status can be viewed in the Relay Status sub menu within the View menu.
