Geovision GV-CMS CMS Server 5 Connections
Overview
The Geovision GV-CMS is a software-based central management server designed to consolidate live video, recordings, and device administration across small-to-medium surveillance deployments. The 5-connection license tier supports up to 5 simultaneous client sessions—operator workstations, mobile terminals, or administrative consoles—accessing the same centralized video repository and event logs without requiring individual per-seat licenses. This licensing model cuts per-user costs when multiple operators need concurrent access to live feeds and archives from distributed Geovision cameras, DVRs, and NVRs.
Compatibility
The GV-CMS integrates with Geovision's full ecosystem of IP cameras, analog-to-IP encoders, DVRs, and NVRs. Supports device discovery and unified management of Geovision hardware across local and remote network segments. The server aggregates live views, playback timelines, motion-triggered recordings, and alarm routing into a single console interface. Network integration via standard Ethernet; no proprietary cabling required.
Core Capabilities
Centralized Device Management: Add, configure, and monitor multiple cameras and recorders from one interface without logging into individual units. Multi-Window Live View: Display multiple camera feeds simultaneously with user-defined window layouts and grouping. Synchronized Playback: Frame-accurate timeline scrubbing across multiple cameras with synchronized multi-camera review. Event Handling and Alerts: Configurable triggers (motion detection, alarm input, video loss) with automated notifications routed to designated users. Role-Based Access Control: Assign operator permissions by user—restricts which cameras, recordings, and functions each session can access. Archive Retrieval: Centralized search and export of recorded video across all connected devices.
Installation Notes
Deploy on a Windows-compatible server or workstation with adequate network bandwidth to handle concurrent client streams. Requires standard TCP/IP connectivity to all managed Geovision devices. License activation tied to server hardware; seat count (5 connections) is enforced at login. No special drivers or custom cabling needed beyond standard Ethernet and basic server provisioning.
