Chapter 1. Product Overview
1.1. Features and Benefits
The SMR series is a state-of-the-art network video recorder features RAID, low
power. With bay hard disk trays, the system series is the best in class SMR that
supports megapixel quality video of 4 to 64 channels for video retention periods
from 7 to 40 days or more. In addition, the system series is fully burn-in-tested and
uses preloaded Enterprise VMS to eliminate compatibility issues while reducing
maintenance overheads. It is out of question that the system series is the most
reliable and cost-effective solution for small to medium sized surveillance needs.

Chapter 3. Software Overview
3.1. Software Introduction
Video Management Software (VMS) is a highly modular and powerful video and
hardware management suite that incorporates Server recording, management, and
video monitoring and playback functionalities to serve the core purposes of a video
surveillance system.
It operates in a client-server mode: The Local Client and Local Domain Server run
for standalone SMR/NVR/VMS Server, while the Remote Client receives live video
streams and event video playbacks from LAN or Internet. All administrative tasks
are performed on the Client. The client software provides the ability to monitoring
and playback recorded videos from multiple cameras. And for users having multiple
SMR/NVR/VMS Servers, Surveon Control Center (SCC) (its main functions are the
same with the VMS) can be utilized to manage over the domain infrastructure.
25
3.2. Module Framework
VMS/NVR Server
Combines video recording, archival and retrieval functionalities for
individual servers/standalone PCs.
Serves as the connection point for client stations.
Local Domain Server
The interface between the VMS/VI Servers and any clients.
User authentication server.
Local Client
Local access, VMS Client installed on standalone PCs/NVRs for live
video monitoring, event recording playback access and VMS system
configuration.
Remote Client (full functions)
Remote access, VMS Client installed on remote PCs for live video
monitoring, event recording playback access.
Serves as the default configuration point for NVR2000 series, which do
not have a Local Client.
Web Client (for simple use)
Remote access, an ActiveX application (OCX) installed on remote PCs
for live viewing and event playbacks through the web browser.
SPhone Client (for simple use)
SPhone Client installed on iOS/ Android devices for basic live viewing.
Web Server
Allows user to access the live video stream, PTZ control and event
recording playbacks through Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 (or higher)
after the Web Clients components are downloaded.
VI Server
The video intelligence processing point for a VMS solution.
Preinstalled on SMR/NVR Server, and optional on a separate server/PC
(VMS).
SCC Domain Server
Allows centralized control over multiple Trusted VMS Server points and
connections from multiple clients.
SCC Client
26
Software capable of accessing multiple Trusted VMS Servers through
the SCC Domain Server
27
3.3. System Architecture
VMS operates in scalable client - server architecture. This architecture can be
divided into three types: (1) Standalone Server (2) Standalone Server + Remote
Client (Web Client/SPhone Client) (3) Multiple Servers + SCC Client.
These are the hardware requirements for using PCs as Server or Client.

3.3.1. Standalone Server (Client-Server All-in-One)
For users with standalone Server, the Local Client UI is used to manage NVR
Server services:
※Application:
The Server, IP cameras are all in the same LAN.
Use NVR as Server
No installation needed.
Use PC as Server
Install both the VMS/NVR Server and VMS Client on a PC:
Insert the VMS/IPCAM product CD. Click VMS Suite on the menu to start the
installation. Choose Typical Setup. If you don’t need video analytic functions,
Advanced Setup can be selected to uncheck the VI Server.
29
3.3.2. Standalone Server + Remote Client (Web Client
/ SPhone Client)
For remote users to connect to SMR/NVR Server, a remote access, VMS Client
installed on remote PCs is needed for live video monitoring, event recording
playback access.
Also, the Web Client, an ActiveX application (OCX) can be used for basic live
viewing and event playbacks through the web browser, while SPhone Client can
be used for basic live viewing on iPhone/Android devices.
Application1: Internet
The Server, IP cameras and the PC/Mobiles are all in the same LAN.
30
[NVR Server]
Use SMR/NVR as Server
No installation needed.
Use PC as Server
Install the VMS/NVR Server on a PC:
Insert the VMS/IPCAM product CD.
Click VMS Suite on the menu to start the installation.
Choose Advanced Setup to uncheck the VMS Client.
If you don’t need video analytic functions, the VI Server can also be unchecked.
Install the Web Server on the PC:
Insert the VMS/IPCAM product CD.
Click Browse CD/DVD in the menu.
Double click WebServerSetup.exe to start the installation.
[Client]
Install the VMS Client on PCs:
Insert the NVR/SMR product CD.
Click VMS Client on the menu to start the installation.
Install the Web Client on the PCs (Optional):
Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 (or above) and enter your VMS Server IP
address + “/webclient” in your web browser’s URL location, eg.
http://172.18.6.9/webclient to download the Web Client application.
Install the SPhone Client (Optional):
Download the SPhone Client from App Store on the iPhone desktop.
Install the SPhone Client (Optional)
