Video management servers, also known as VMSs, refer to digital video recorders (DVRs) that are PC-based rather than older DVRs that use an embedded architecture. PC-based or server-based video recorders feature a software interface for users to manage live and recorded video, among other analytic features. The software is defined as a video management interface. When you combine the server-based hardware architecture with the graphical user interface to manage the video feeds from the surveillance system, you derive a video management system. The video management servers form the backbone of the system and consist of the physical video recording network appliances that are responsible for both analog and IP surveillance video cameras.

Many surveillance operations are enhanced when the ability to record audio is coupled with video. Having an audio and video record of an event paints a more complete picture of what happened and provides more comprehensive evidence of past activities. This concept is not new and has long been understood. However, the challenge has been synchronizing the audio and video correctly so that the words are coming out of the people’s mouths as their lips are moving on the recorded video.
