CMS is a free surveillance program that works with one or multiple security cameras to protect your home, business or any other property. You'll find that CMS is relatively easy to set up and there are additional features for playback and organizing videos. This versatile program is good for those who want to keep themselves safe by using security cameras.

Primary Features

CMS stands for Central Monitor System and that's the perfect name for it. This program ties together all of your security cameras and allows you to easily view each camera. Switching between the cameras is easy and you can have multiple views at once. Whether you have one camera or dozens, CMS can connect to all of them and still gives you the same robust control.

Aside from streaming from the camera, you can also control them. Many security camera systems allow you to move the camera left to right and up and down. You can use your keyboard or mouse to change the camera's angle. If someone is just beyond sight, then you can move the camera to see what they are doing.

Video Viewing and Organizing

CMS is able to store all of your videos. As long as your hard drive or server has the space, you can use CMS to store all of the footage you have taken throughout the day. If you'd like to access the program, then simply open them from CMS and search for the video you need.

CMS also helps you find the right video file. You can organize videos to look for a certain day or time. Not only that, but you can also view multiple videos at once. This is perfect if you know what day something happened, but you don't know exactly when. You can easily view all the footage until you find what you're looking for.

Network Resources

While CMS is a powerful program, it requires a lot of resources to work properly. You'll need a computer with a large amount of RAM, a strong CPU and a massive hard drive for all the footage. The resource needs increase as you add more cameras to the network. Unless you're only installing one camera, you'll find that a low-end computer won't be enough for CMS to work at its best.

If you plan on connecting multiple cameras, then make sure your computer is ready for the task. You may need to upgrade your equipment before you can start recording everything.

Multiple Users

CMS allows you to create multiple user profiles so that others can enter the system to view and control the cameras. Not only that, but each user gets their own login credentials. This ensures that only authorized users can access the system.

Pros

  • Extremely robust system that allows you to control multiple cameras
  • Store and view all video footage that your cameras captured
  • Unique login credentials for every individual user
