Video Surveillance Operations Manager (VSOM) permits real-time remote monitoring and virtual management by providing multiple live and archived video streams. Authorized users can view camera feeds from multiple locations simultaneously, control PTZ cameras, and review and clip archives using the operator interface. New Features • Recording enhancements • Archive enhancements • Backup enhancements • Support for RTSP for streams from the Media Server • Smooth reverse play of MPEG4 • New device support • Support for H264 • Integration with third party DVRs • Management console extensions • Extended device model support Recording Enhancements Support is provided for flexible recording, including record on motion and record on event. Archive Enhancements Enhanced support is provided for backing up archives. Support for RTSP/RTP for Streams from the Media Server Media Server now provides the ability to access media H264, MPEG4, MJPEG and audio feeds through third party players such as QuickTime and VLC. Smooth Reverse play of MPEG4 The Media Server now provides the ability to play both MJPEG and MPEG4 Fast and Slow, Forward and Reverse , and stepping frame 1 Printed Documentation by frame. The reverse playback of MPEG4 includes I-frames and reverse play of all frames. New Device Support Device support: • Audio & MJPEG for Teleste MPC/MPX encoder series • TCP from Sony CS50, DF50, DF80, RZ50, RX530, RX550, RX570, CS20, DS10, DS60, CM120, DM110, DM160 cameras • Multicast from Indigo encoders Motion detection configuration and reception of events support: • Axis: 209M, 210, 211, 214, 215, 211M, 221M, 223M, 232D, 233D, 241Q, 241S, 241SA, 243Q, 243SA, 247 • IQEye: 501, 511, 701, 702, 703, 705, 752, 753, 755, 802, 803, 805, 852, 853, 855, 712d • Panasonic: NP244, NP302, NW484 • Sony: CS50, DF50, DF80, RZ50, RX530, RX550, RX570, CS20, DS10, DS60, CM120, DM110, DM160 Support for H264 • Cisco Analog Video Gateway • Sony CS50, DF50, DF80, RZ50, RX530, RX550, RX570 • Axis P3301 and Q7401 All functionality provided with MPEG4 streams is also provided to H264 streams, including: • Live & recorded media access • Smooth forward and reverse play • Clipping • Record on Motion or Event • Playback via VSVM Clients Integration with Third Party DVRs Support for Pelco Endura and NICE DVRs including: • Discovering Live & Recorded feeds • Playing Live & Recorded feeds • PTZ of connected PTZ cameras Management Console Extensions • Monitoring of Archiving, Outbound Media & DVR gateways 2 Getting Started in VSOM • Configuration of 6.0 features without Linux Shell access • Rebooting the Server at an OS level • Query status of the Cisco processes running on the Server • Access to Log files • Configuration of the server’s Home page. Extended Device Model Support • IQEye: 702, 705, 752, 753, 755, 802, 803, 805, 852, 853, 855, 712d • Sony: CS20, DS10, DS60, CM120, DM110, DM160 • Axis: 209M, 211M, 216M, 247, P3301, Q7401 • Panasonic: 202A, NP302, NW484, NS-954, NS-964, CS-954 How It Works The Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager (VSOM) provides a simple-to-use management console to set up and manage multiple servers, cameras, and encoders. VSOM is scaled to support thousands of users and cameras across multiple physical locations. All system usage is logged and authorized users can generate reports to monitor usage, verify access to video, review event history, and check run-time statistics. VSOM can also reside on the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server (VSMS) based on the server configurations. Displayed below is the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager solution and using Intelligent IP infrastructure as a transport. 3 Printed Documentation The VSOM is designed to preside over multiple VSMS, Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server (VSES), and Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix (VSVM) servers. VSOM configures and manages the encoders, cameras, camera feeds, archives, and events on each VSMS server and configures and manages the monitors and views for each VSVM server. Note: VSVM, VSMS, and VSOM may all be installed on the same physical server for a small installation or multiple physical VSMS and VSVM servers in a large installation. The most common setup scenario will be where the VSOM software will have been previously installed and started on the VSMS and VSVM servers but have not yet been configured. VSOM will be used to perform the following basic configuration steps: • Add the VSMS, VSES, and VSVM servers to VSOM • Add encoders to VSOM • Add analog cameras to VSOM while specifying encoder, channel, and VSMS server is to be used to create a new camera feed. • Add IP cameras to VSOM while specifying which VSMS server is to be used to create a new camera feed • Start required archives from the camera feeds • Create views to be displayed on the main operator screen and VSVM monitors • Configure PTZ settings and presets for PTZ cameras • Create event triggers via OM while specifying the MS server and encoder to be used for the event source 4
