The Pelco VMX300(-E) video management system uses a Windows®-based interface to control any combination of analog and IP devices in a single integrated video security system. With a mouse, you can click a camera icon on a system map and then drag it to a video display window. Mapping configurations and a visual interface allow you to easily control the following devices:
•Matrix switchers (CM6700, CM6800, CM9740, CM9760, CM9770, CM9780)
•PelcoNet™ MPEG Series transmission systems (NET300 Series, NET350 Series, NET4001A)
•DX8000 (software version level 1.1.00.1121 or higher) and DX9000 Series digital video recorders
•NVR300 Series network video recorders
•Spectra® and Esprit® camera positioning systems
•CM9760-ALM and CM9760-REL input/output devices
VMX300 provides control and monitoring of CCTV equipment in a client-to-server configuration. VMX300-E provides control and monitoring of CCTV equipment in the following configurations: client-to-server; multiple clients-to-server; client-to-multiple servers; or server-to-server.
Each VMX300(-E) system must have at least one workstation with server software. Workstations with server software always include client software and, therefore, are called client/server workstations. A VMX300 system can have only one client/server workstation. A VMX300-E system can have multiple client/server workstations.
Each VMX300(-E) system must have at least one workstation with client software. This can be the client/server workstation, described above, or you can add a separate workstation with only client software to the system. Each VMX300(-E) system can have multiple client workstations in addition to the client/server workstation.
Your system administrator configures your system using the VMX300(-E) server software, and then launches the VMX300(-E) server into “run” mode. A system operator uses the VMX300(-E) client software to view and control the area under surveillance. The operator can connect to the VMX300(-E) system from the client/server workstation, or from a separate client workstation. With the VMX300-E version, an operator could also connect from another client/server workstation.
