In general, a video management system or abbreviated VMS orchestrates surveillance workflow by integrating client workstations, underlying storage infrastructure, gateway systems, cameras, encoders, recording systems, and analytics software. Video surveillance infrastructure management proceeds through a single interface. The main project aim – is the development and support of enterprise video management software for maintaining an overview and control of all complex units locally and in globally distributed locations.
Video Management Software
In general, a video management system or abbreviated VMS orchestrates surveillance workflow by integrating client workstations, underlying storage infrastructure, gateway systems, cameras, encoders, recording systems, and analytics software. Video surveillance infrastructure management proceeds through a single interface. The main project aim – is the development and support of enterprise video management software for maintaining an overview and control of all complex units locally and in globally distributed locations.
Business Challenge
Video surveillance solution is used by governments, businesses, and other organizations, where large-scale security monitoring systems are required. For example, this system is also commonly used by correctional institutions and colonies, airports, manufacturing plants, medical organizations, etc. Enterprise video management system is a highly scalable, complex, and multi-component solution with a wide range of functionality. A large number of people are responsible for this system, including the technical department and development team, marketing and sales department, hardware maintenance teams on-site, and others.
From an IT perspective, the customer has an internal development team and outstaff teams in different countries. Development teams are responsible for different parts of the system. Particularly, their responsibilities include the development of new functionality and system extension, maintenance and support of the existing solution, customer support, and help with system setup and bug fixes.
The customer was looking for a dedicated development team to take over the video software for the management and operation of several servers with cameras. Above all, the company was looking for highly qualified experts with extensive experience in development. In particular, the goal was to solve current technical challenges, strengthen the existing IT department, and develop solutions that would make the system more scalable and reliable.
Solution
Initially, a few developers with vast experience in software development and .NET stack started on the project. During the first month of work, the developers have proven themselves well. The customer decided to expand the team of developers and testers. Subsequently, the team gradually expanded. The team worked according to the Scrum approach and had two-week sprints, daily stand-ups, planning sessions, and planning pokers. All team members worked for the result and produced high-quality code.
What features does video surveillance software have?
In general, customer video management software enables easy management of units across different locations. All information from configured systems, as well as connected third parties, can be easily managed through one interface. Video monitoring software has integrated maps and site plans, which simplify the process and provide an optimal overview. This option has many advantages for systems that have a huge number of cameras in the area. This helps operators navigate easily. By drag&drop the camera on the map, its position is shown. Furthermore, on live videos users can configure analytics and connect various options. Operators also have access to recorded video.
An intelligent alarm handling system with several configurable options enables easy processing of occurring alarms. Additionally, video management software has adjustable user management. Rights management helps to individualize the interfaces for each operator and grants access to the limited features. In addition to the above the system meets all security standards and sensitive data is safe. Overall video surveillance solution has lots of other features, which are available for the clients based on the selected packages and licensing.
Business Impact
The development team and quality assurance team worked on the video software project for a long time. A large amount of work was done during this time. Generally, this is the development of additional functionality, rework of some parts of the video management system in order to improve them, eliminating the number of bugs, customer support, software maintenance, release support as well as delivery of stable software versions, writing system documentation, etc. As a result, the customer had complete confidence in the quality and stability of his video surveillance software.
