VIGI by TP-Link, a provider of easy and intelligent video solutions, launched VIGI Cloud VMS, a free* and unlimited public cloud-hosted video management system.
This platform centralises and remotely manages security devices across multiple sites, offering basic features like video monitoring, event management, and device maintenance alongside advanced features such as map monitoring, a designer tool, and multi-user permission control. This system is ideal for multi-site monitoring scenarios, such as chain stores, distributed offices, and multi-location deployed solar systems, enhancing video management efficiency.
The Top Benefits of VIGI Cloud VMS
Unlimited and Free* Scaling of Your Projects
The most exciting feature is the ability to expand sites and devices freely without limitations. As a cloud-based system, VIGI Cloud VMS also eliminates the need for local front-end deployment, VPN, and IT maintenance costs, significantly reducing project expenses.
Multi-User Privilege Management
In multi-site scenarios, managing multiple user levels can be complex. With VIGI Cloud VMS, you can assign varying permissions to members for each site, such as Admin, Viewer, and Live Only. This ensures members access only necessary resources, simplifying system maintenance costs for administrators.
User-Friendly Designer Tool for Quick Project Proposal Creation
The VIGI Designer Tool is a powerful tool for simulating camera surveillance deployment. It enables users to quickly select products and generate detailed project proposals for installation guidance. Ideal for installers, pre-sales engineers, and similar professionals, it offers features such as:
- Professional Monitoring Coverage Display: Visualise coverage areas with precision.
- Intelligent Filters: Rapidly select products based on product filters like camera resolution and focal length.
- 2D/3D Views: Accurately simulates operation in both 2D and 3D.
- Intuitive Image Clarity Display: Displays different DORI levels within the same sector using colour depth and shows the current monitoring distance and pixel density as the mouse moves. This provides a clearer understanding of the camera’s performance at different distances.
These capabilities enhance the efficiency of proposal generation, significantly improving project delivery speed.
Real-time Map Monitoring
View the device monitoring coverage directly on a floorplan, access any camera for live view with one click, and even track the related videos for each camera. This feature enhances your understanding of on-site safety, especially across multiple locations.
Manage Anytime, Anywhere with the VIGI App
Easily manage your devices, view live monitoring and playback, and receive real-time alerts at your fingertips from anywhere, at any time—all without needing a VPN. The solution supports a web-based portal, mobile app and PC client.
