How to Set VMS Enterprise User

Chapter I Introduction

Milesight VMS Enterprise supports User Management and Role Management, which can be used to manage the user’s permission. User management and role management enable authorized users to use authorized functions normally and legally, but exclude unauthorized users, which greatly protects account security.

User Management

Users can be added, modified and deleted from the User Management page in “Milesight VMS Enterprise Client”. Several properties of a user including User Name, Password, Confirm password, Role, Email Address and Remark can be configured.

Role Management

Role Management supports configuring the same functions and operation permissions for multiple users under a role. The resource access of role includes Function, Operation, Camera and Layout. There are four types of role which can’t be deleted by default, including Owner, Administrator, Operator and Viewer. Also, you can add or delete customized roles. Different roles have different resource access:

Owner: There can only be one user who is Owner, which is the user added when the system is created, and the priority of role is highest.

Administrator: Own full access to function and operation permissions, resource access including Camera and Layout.

Operator: Own part access to function and operation permissions, resource access including Camera and Layout.

Viewer: Own part access to function and operation permissions, resource access including Camera and Layout.

Customized roles: You can customize the role permissions.

You can configure cameras for the customized roles. The administrator and owner can share their configured layout with the users under the role, so that users under the customized role can access to the devices in the layouts.

The application of User&Role

User&Role can be used in E-map and Event Rule Settings. You can configure the user’s permissions on the E-map. And you can configure show notification to the specified users.

How to set up Failover on VMS Enterprise

1. Introduction

In order to improve users data protection and data security, we have added the Failover function in VMS Enterprise. In the same system, when a server fails, other servers with Failover function enabled will take over the camera and keep recording the video of failed server.

 

Note:

1. To use this function, need at least two servers.

2. When the failed server is restored, the camera’s video during the failure will remain on the replaced server and will not be sent back to the original server.

3. When multiple servers are ready for taking over the camera, the system dynamically allocates the camera based on the load of each server.

 

2. How to Set Failover 

2.1 Add multiple servers to the same system

If the server is not added to any system, it is an Undefined server. You can select and add them to any system.

(1) Only the Owner user has permission to perform the Detach Server operation and check the detach result.

(2) When there is an exceptional occurrence of server to make it offline, if you directly click vLiLsb2QPD8AP0O2OVa9dQReLml0A0e2kA button,  the deleted server is not actually detached from system. Once server restores normal status, the server still can display in the interface and start working.

How to Set VMS Enterprise Event Rules

Introduction

Event rules are used to associate events and actions. Milesight VMS Enterprise supports rich events, multiple actions and alarm modes, which you can combine freely and configure as your need. Every event can be set to trigger many kinds of actions at the same time. Also, every event can be set to trigger different actions in different time periods. After configuring the event rules, when an event is detected, it can promptly remind or automatically trigger actions according to your settings. In this case, focusing on events becomes easier and you won’t miss the events you care about.

By default, some rules have been automatically created for you in the system. These rules are used to notify the abnormalities that may occur in the system. If an event is detected, you will receive a notification in the Notifications panel. It is strongly recommended to keep them. You can also adjust them as needed.

Ⅱ. How to set an event rule

If you’re not an owner or administration, make sure you have permission for event rule settings.

2.1 Add an event rule

Step 1: Click “Settings” -> “System & Servers” -> “ Event Rule Settings”.

Step 2: Click “Add”, set trigger, schedule and action, then click “Save”.

How to Use VMS Enterprise Video Wall

“Milesight VMS Enterprise” supports Video Wall function, which is a necessary advanced function for professional VMS. The Video Wall function supports custom screen combinations and split. It can divide a single monitor into multiple screens, which can be divided into up to 4 screens, or combine multiple monitors into one screen. It controls the maximum number of screens that can be run with a license. If the number of screens connected to the client computer is large enough, more screens can be generated. Moreover, the screens generated by the Video Wall are independent of each other. In particular, the Video Wall function can push the computer desktop to the wall.
