How to Use NVR P2P on M-Sight Pro

1. P2P

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture in which individual nodes in the network (called “peers”) act as both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to centralized client–server model where client nodes request access to resources provided by central servers. Networks in which all computers have equal status are called peer-to-peer or P2P networks.

In a peer-to-peer network, tasks (such as searching for files or streaming audio/video) are shared amongst multiple interconnected peers which each make a portion of their resources (such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth) directly available to other network participants, with no need for centralized coordination by servers.

P2P Introduction

With the P2P enabled on NVR, you can add the NVR and view the live video over WLAN remotely without doing any port forwarding on the router.

2. How to Use P2P on M-Sight Pro

You can use P2P function directly after enabling it on the NVR’s web or monitor.

Way 1: Enable on the monitor

Right click on the live view and choose“Menu”->“System”->“Network”->“P2P”, you will see the image as below; Then choose “Enable” and click “Apply” to enable P2P; You can see the P2P state turns to “Activated”, then you can use it freely on “M-Sight Pro”.

VMS Enterprise Architecture

Chapter I Introduction

The Milesight VMS Enterprise is featured with Client/Server architecture. The user accesses a system by logging into any server of the system on the client side.

A ZoSbHwQQ9lQnLW IXPqoBOJRAvmlQHsw

Server

YI g1ckq XmKuB3bwLRfijtoiI7itTd2lQ

Server refers to Milesight VMS Enterprise Server which are installed on the computer. The initial state of a server is an undefined server. Available on Windows.

A server is responsible for:

  • Communicate with clients and other servers (Only master server)

  • Camera management

  • Get video stream from cameras and forward to client

  • Record video from cameras to local or NAS storage

  • Get event signals and trigger different actions

  • Smart analysis – Store license plate recognition results and black/white list comparison

Recommend: The maximum number of cameras per server is 128.

 

 

 

System

IconA5ImKgg KFzTW x0 JbZx1c fpTidniq1A

A system is made up of one or more servers. Any undefined server needs to be created as a new system or added to an existing system for use.

Multiple servers can form a system which can manage lots of network cameras in different locations. Every server in the same system shares all information about all cameras, users and settings except for files.

Recommend: 

The maximum number of cameras per system is 2000. The maximum number of servers per system is 25.

Client

Client refers to Milesight VMS Enterprise Client which are installed on the computer. Available on Windows.

A client is responsible for:

  • Connect to any server, but only to one at a time

  • Camera management, configuration and control

  • View Live videos, up to 4 monitors and 64 channels per monitor

  • Video playback, up to 64 channels synchronously or asynchronously

  • Smart analysis – Black/white list management, ANPR settings and smart search

  • View event notification

  • System and server settings

  • View event logs and audit trail

Note: D3D is required

 

User

aEBVzOF4W0ny4TIeMtIcpsaES KK3X n7A

Every system has a list of user accounts that can have different rights. Only authorized user can access the system. Users are authorized by roles, and there are different types of roles.

Owner: There is only one ‘Owner’ user in the system. It is created when the system is created. It has the highest privileges

Administrator: It owns full access to function and operation permissions, resource access including Camera and Layout

Operator: It can see all cameras and own part access to function and operation permissions in the system

Viewer: It can see all cameras and have view permissions for only partial functions in the system 

Custom role: Customize access permission to function, operation and resource including Camera and Layout

Recommend: The maximum number of users per system is 100.

qQARd2H5uuw0NSPBINCGiMF2mly43wlUmQ

Step 2: Click “I Agree”. 

If there are multiple servers in the system, you can choose to remove or keep the cameras added to this server.

Remove cameras of this server from system: after detaching the server from the system, the cameras added to this server will be deleted at the same time.

Keep cameras of this server in system: after detaching the server from the system, the cameras added to this server will be allocated to other servers of the same system automatically for load balancing.

After detaching the server from the system, then it becomes an undefined server.

bl3eOaH5PYOQerZN6ZBXDzcDkuFkZi2FBg

Note:

1.Only the Owner user has permission to perform the “Detach Server” operation.

2.When a server is offline, if you click “Delete Server”, the server isn’t really detached from the system. It just doesn’t be shown in the server list. Once the server restores online, it still can be displayed in the server list and start working.

   

If a server has been added into a system, it needs to be detached from the system as an undefined server, then add the undefined server into other system.

How to Use VMS Enterprise Video Wall

How to Set VMS Enterprise Event Rules

Ⅰ. 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”.
