CMS HUB

CMS HUB is a server software designed for data gathering generated by VMS / NVR (NetStation / NetHybrid HD), PRS (ANPR), NET POS (Point of sale), Net Access (access control) and security systems, fire protection systems or others cooperating with VMS / NVR servers. Application works as Windows internal service and also supports MSSQL database. Basic version of MSSQL “LocalDB” is combined with CMS HUB - installation and configuration processes are fully automated.

Data gathered by CMS HUB are shared and visualized in client application - CMS Professional 4. CMS HUB integrates also a server proxy module, which is used as proxy in communication between client stations and VMS/NVR system. If VMS/NVR software is avaiable in WAN network, then there is no need to give access to the internet to client stations, they can connect to video servers via CMS HUB thanks to proxy function.

Below diagram describes how system works.

Application running time
System running time
Recordings duration
Reserved disc space
Used disc space

CMS Professional 4 clients stations are able to connect to video recorders in order to video preview (live/archive), browsing events locally stored on recorder (LPR, VCA, POS), recorders settings.

Data stored by CMS HUB:

VMS/NVR state on/off
Link down with VMS/NVR
Camera: signal lost, tampering (depending on hardware)
Input/Output alarms
Users: logging user to recorder
System: system time changes, critical errors (file system errors, bad sectors e.t.c.)
Video backup complete
Operational recorder’s errors
Configuration changes
Module contributes browsing of all stored events by many filters
Critical errors are additionally marked on the list
Additional system events (sent to CMS HUB) can be created in order for local recorders events (POS, VCA, LPR etc.)

Reports module is used for statistical data presentation. Data is gathered from clients VMS/NVR to CMS HUB and its available for local browsing. Reports include also:

POS: value of sold products by the name, cashier, number of merchandise scans, cancelled transaction per cashier
LPR: counters of passing cars
VCA: number of detection alerts for relevant types of events
Task scheduler module
Availability to run certain action users configurable (run program, e-mail sending) in response for particular event s from recorders
