Videonetics Intelligent Video Management Software
Videonetics’ ‘Intelligent’ Video Management Software (IVMS)
is based on a unified, monolithic architectural framework to
capture and handle video and audio data over IP network in an
efficient and elegant way, going way beyond what traditional
‘view-record-replay’ based DVR-like systems offer.

Our IVMS software is scalable across multiple verticals such

as City Surveillance, Enterprise Surveillance, Banking, Retail,
Traffic Management etc. using the same video management
software framework. It comes integrated with our in-house
intelligent video and audio analytics platform, and is
deployable across multiple operating systems and hardware THE NEED FOR
‘INTELLIGENT’
platforms. It can be seamlessly integrated with other
Videonetics offerings like Automated Number Plate

VIDEO
Recognition (ANPR) system, Red Light Violation Detection
(RLVD) system, vehicle entry/exit monitoring system and
other traffic management applications; retail solution for
business intelligence generation; face recognition, intrusion
detection, crowd monitoring; and other typical video analytics To derive actionable information
applications, thus providing a homogeneous, one-stop
from the rich visual data that

thousands of cameras and heterogeneous storage devices
(NAS, SAN, hard disks etc.) spanning multiple sites.

Videonetics’ IVMS can accommodate DVRs* along with IP

cameras to protect existing investments on analog systems,
while enabling you to gradually move towards IP-based video
management culture in a phased manner. Our IVMS software
can be deployed on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac
OS. It is integrated with open source DBMS software to give
you the freedom to choose your own platform and plan your
budget, thus providing a truly open platform solution.
Single GUI for VMS and VAS
Video Analytics framework is a built-in
component in Videonetics Intelligent VMS.
A single user interface (GUI) configures and
interacts with both the systems in a
homogeneous way. Therefore, it is easy to
learn the system with minimal training.

Openness and scalability redefined

Videonetics’ IVMS is a truly open, IP-based system that allows you to use OS of your choice (Windows, Linux, Unix or
Mac OS), both in the servers or in the viewing (client) stations in any combination. It is open to your choice of web
browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome) for remote monitoring. The system is scalable from a single
server VMS system to a distributed, multi-server based city surveillance system integrated with different intelligent
Video Analytics applications. Regardless of scale, it functions under a single umbrella with consistent interface for
easy user interaction. Videonetics’ IVMS supports ONVIF-compliant IP cameras/devices.

Fault-tolerant & demand-adaptive system

Failover and redundancy is pervasive across all the components of Videonetics’ IVMS. This ensures data integrity and
data security against failure of servers, storage devices and network links, without using any separate storage or
server hardware. The patented failover logic embedded into the IVMS system gives the user a cost advantage over
other alternatives, as no 1:1 redundant server needs to be bought. Videonetics ‘Universal-Health-Checker’
component not only monitors health of each hardware device and instantly prompts you to take preventive actions,
but it also keeps an eye on performance of critical tasks within the IVMS process. The architecture is truly modular in
nature, so the failure of any one module within the software triggers its automatic restart immediately, without
affecting the functionality of other modules. When there is increasing demand for any particular service from the
user group, IVMS replicates those services automatically in a distributed fashion with optimal usage of the existing
hardware resources.

Fail-safe storage management

Videonetics’ multi-tier storage management protects your data not only against physical damage to one or more
storage devices, but also offers you the flexibility to provision these devices to suit your budget. Failure of network
storage device automatically triggers the system to temporarily use server resident storage space for recording. You
can mark any one or more cameras as critical, and the system will keep the recording safe for those cameras in
multiple places, to avoid losing critical data in case of any disaster.

Exponential Video DecayTM – Better utilisation of your storage

Videonetics' innovative e-SnapTM and Exponential Video DecayTM services significantly reduce the storage space
requirement compared to the competition. Our e-SnapTM technology embeds high-resolution still images within low
resolution video to reduce storage space considerably, yet protects the contents in video files and aids in better
investigation. Videonetics’ IVMS retains archived video over a longer duration of time using much lower storage
space, with its Exponential Video DecayTM technology, where rather than totally deleting older video files, their size is
progressively reduced as they age.
Video DiggingTM – Investigative navigation
Videonetics unprecedented Video DiggingTM technology enables you navigate across multiple camera views
simultaneously in a systematic way. By a simple copy-paste operation, you can synchronise replays for any two or
more cameras. On spot investigation of
activities in the scene, with orchestrated use
of Sitemap, Message Window and Virtual
Matrix, gives you the real flavour of a truly
intelligent IP-based video surveillance
system, and clearly distinguishes it from the
competition. You can follow movements of
people, vehicles and other objects across
multiple cameras in the archived video
systematically and quickly, in a time
synchronised fashion. You can also watch
live views of multiple cameras along a
corridor or pathway, with a single drag of
mouse on the sitemap.

Both way integration framework – Devices and third-party systems

Videonetics’ VMS provides a rich set of APIs and SDK for integration with third-party applications like CAD, help
desks, EMS, and other IP devices. This gives you the flexibility to choose those systems as per your specific
requirements. On the other hand, the VMS is built on a modular architecture, so that other applications can use it as a
component in their system (Figure 1 showing the Top Level Systems Architecture Diagram). The interface is available
in the VMS framework to receive communication from external emergency response systems (e.g. Dial 100) and link
it to the VMS database.

Other security and safety enforcing devices like fire alarms, burglar/intrusion detection systems can communicate
with the VMS using its unified device integration framework. The VMS can receive alarms and health status signals
from those devices and generate alerts using its alert handling framework.

Unprecedented viewing experience

With multi-tasking, multi-monitor support, you have the facility to select cameras for a live view, recorded video
display, and to navigate quickly from one camera view to another. Parallel live view and archived video tiles in the
same window gives you the flexibility to dig
into archived video for selected cameras in a
time-locked mode, yet keeping an eye on live
camera views. Intelligent use of the multi-
streaming capability of the cameras along
with Virtual Optical Zoom (VOZ) feature
enables you to watch any selected area of the
scene in megapixel
resolution in a small
window. You can save
your favourite views
as bookmarks and
retrieve the same
with a single mouse
click. Desktop client, WAN client, mobile client and meb client – all are optimised to give you
the best viewing experience, overcoming various infrastructural constraints.
Efficient forensic and evidence management
Videonetics integrated framework for VMS and Video Analytics provides an unprecedented flexibility to navigate
across recorded video database quickly during investigation of an event. Video Cart enables you to download multiple
video segments from multiple cameras, in a systematic and organised way in a single folder, with hyperlinks to the
video files in a spreadsheet. The video files are encrypted for data protection and embedded with user-defined
‘watermarks’ to produce tamper-proof evidence. You can generate evidential proof as a single video file for various
events using the embedded MovieMaker.

Multilayer sitemap
Videonetics multi-layer hyperlinked sitemap
enables you to select cameras quickly from
the camera pool. Any section of the map can
be expanded using a next layer map to
provide you a clearer view of camera
distribution across your city, for instance.
You can either drag and drop camera icons
independently to video tiles, or select
cameras installed along any passage or road
using Videonetics’ unique 'touch-n-drop'
feature. The system also comes with API for
integration with Google Maps and third-
party GIS. The Android mobile client
software is already integrated with Google Maps.

Integrated system health monitoring & audit trail

Onscreen icons on the operator's screen
display the health status of all major
components constantly. You always know
whether the cameras are recording, and the
status of servers, storage, networking
components etc. In case of any problem, you
can dig into the details of any problem in a
systematic manner without being an IT
expert. The system also gives you the facility
to search through the health status using
simple database query processing tool
embedded in the system. Operations by the
users are tracked and saved in a database to
generate audit trail of the system, and
authorised personnel can search this audit
trail database for necessary information.
Alarm management and event log
Videonetics unified Alarm Management Framework handles alerts from Video Analytics applications, media
servers, and external devices alike, and provides you with an integrated platform to act on the alerts quickly. The alert
handler is able to receive alerts from external systems (such as external I/O) or software applications, e.g. Red Light
Violation Detection system, face recognition system, access control system etc. The alert handling framework
enables you to track the actions taken, and escalate the alert to higher authority, in case appropriate actions are not
taken by the operators within a user-defined period. Alerts can also be distributed to registered recipient only using
GSM communication, in case the usual internet connectivity is not available. Any operator can redirect the alerts to
any other operator, if required. The events are logged into a database with index to the video archive. Users can
search events from the event log with simple query processing in real time.

Audio analytics
Audio signals coming from IP devices can be analysed in real time to alert you in case unusual sounds are detected.
Audio analytics applications detect presence of human voice in the scene, and they analyse the sound signals to
identify the nature of the speech. The system also detects presence of non-speech audio like those generated by
knocking, glass breaking, gun shots etc.

Green computing – Low computation & optimum processor utilisation

Videonetics’ IVMS is optimised for maximum utilisation of the computing capability of the deployed hardware. The
architecture automatically detects number of cores in the computing platform and dynamically load-balances the
computation across various cores. Hence less hardware components are required run the software. The underlying
software architecture is built to use minimum memory and I/O bandwidth. This reduces the number of clocking and
results in power savings.
