Part 1: CMS Overview
This section describes the CMS architecture and how to install and start the CMS system. It includes the following sections:
System Introduction, Sys tem R equire men ts, Installation, Getting Started with the CMS System, and CMS Client Overview
.

System Introduction
The Central Management System (CMS) is a powerful system which brings traditional central management systems o ut of th e
control room through Internet access. The netw ork -based key operation system can manage unlimited combinations of analog
and network cameras worldwide, via unlimited w or king station s in diff erent lo cations. CMS is the universal solution for large
scale projects.
Client/Server Architecture
The CMS System uses client/server architecture to manage unlimited recording systems. These send events to the CMS
Alarm Server. After filtering the events, the CMS Alarm server sends alarm logs of pre-determined event s to a SQL Server
(SQL database) and CMS Client systems. The CMS Client system allows users in different locations to log in to the CMS
Alarm server and, if they have the authority, to change the system configuration. The CMS Matrix system can be viewed
as an extension of the CMS client used to populate the alarm s to additio nal mon itor s. CMS Matrix system is controlled by
CMS Client users.

Multiple Monitor Configuration
For a PC running the CMS Client and CMS Matrix, it is suggested that three monitors are used: one to display the Map
window and the System Configuration window, one to display the Alarm Overview window, and one to display the live
video feed matrix. This enables efficient use of the system and saves hardware costs.
PCs using multiple monitors in this way should have a Intel P35/i975x motherboard which can support two display cards.
Each display card should be the same model, to avoid hardware conflicts.
7

Customizing Client Appearance
The appearance of the CMS Client is customizable. The System Control and Alarm Overview windows and their nine
associated tab display windows can be moved or removed to four appearance types:
Floating: A floating window can be moved to any position on the screen.
Docking: A docking window is aligned with one of the four edges of the application window.
Auto Hide: Docking windows can be set to AutoHide. The window then displays only when you point to the area

CMS Matrix Window Introduction
Move Mouse to right-down area, the icon would auto appear. User can edit/exit the Matrix, further option
please see page 54.
SQL Server Introduction
CMS system is use SQL Server 2005 Express of Microsoft free application software as database. recommend user to use
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to backup SQL Server. Please refer the web site of Microsoft
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365247.aspx .
28
Part 2: Administrator Functions (Setting Up the CMS
System)
This section describes functions and operations of the administrator to set up the CMS Client software system while in Edit
Mode. Please follow this section to setup Servers/Devices, Maps, Servers/Devices on Map, User Groups and Users
Coverage, Alarms, and Matrix s y s tem.
,
29
Servers/Devices
The CMS Client provides the ability to monitor unlimited cameras and input/output devices through unlimited Main Console
servers. For convenience, Main Console servers and their related devices are organized into groups. The default top-level
group is called ServerGroup. Child groups can be added to this in a hierarchical structure.
To carry out the functions described below, you need to be in Edit mode and Commit after setup (see
page 28).
The license of the software should be registered first before operating the formal version of CMS System.
Execute the License Management Tool in Help>License Manager to activate the license from a dongle or serial
number allocated with the CMS software package, or de-activate the license then use it on another PC to activate it
again. Please refer to page 59 for details on how to configure the License Management Tool.
Adding/Editing/Removing Server Groups
To add a server group:
1. Ensure that the client is in Edit Mode and that the ServerView tab is selected.
