VMS checklist
System resiliency
□
How many backups do we need for video recordings in case of failure?
□
Do we need on-premises disaster recovery options (e.g., keeping recordings off-site, multiple local
copies of our data)?
□
Do we need on-premises archiver failover for video recordings (in case of primary archiver failure)?
□
Do we need a process to ensure directory failover in case of a system failure?
□
Do we need a backup process for user state and configurations?
□
Do we need to complement or replace on-premises failover systems with cloud storage for video?
□
Do we need to be able to extend local video recording capability with cloud storage (no additional
footprint)?
□
How reliable is our system in terms of uptime and performance?
□
Do we have additional charges for support, bandwidth, or feature upgrades?
Automation and analytics
□
Does our deployment need to include video analytics? Do we need analytics servers that can specifically
support this?
□
Do we need area protection to safeguard a specific zone or environment within a bigger one? Do we need
perimeter protection?
□
Do we need to track the position or direction of any objects?
□
Do we need to detect any specific objects or conditions with video?
□
Do we need the ability to count people or to detect tailgating at the door?
□
Do we want to be notified if a camera image has been modified, altered, or tampered with?
□
Do we need customizable dashboards and reports for site(s) activity based on video data analysis
summaries and trends?
□
Do we need to create automation (actions from specific events or condition detection) at sites?
