OPTIVIEW VMS Download and guide, We are proud to offer the free Optiview Video Management Software (VMS) with all embedded DVRs and NVRs. While each DVR and NVR have their own intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for recording set up, live view and playback, they are limited to one machine at a time. With the Optiview VMS, users can view single or multiple machines remotely or on site. The Optiview VMS will also manage up to 256 devices (IP cameras or individual DVR/NVR’s) for a total of up to 2048 channels.
The Optiview VMS supports IP/Megapixel cameras, Analog, HD-over-Coax and IP/Network recorders. Another aspect of this powerful system is the fact that the 64-channel preview screens can be opened in up to 4 windows for live viewing up to 256 channels at the same time.
While all cameras will record on their local recorders, the VMS allows for up to 16 channels to record locally on the home or work PC. 36 channels can be chosen for playback in increments of 24 hour periods.

COMPATIBILITY
Optiview VMX is compatible with all Optiview IP-enabled devices: network cameras, NVRs, DVRs, video intercom devices, and access control devices. The server is also compatible with the ONVIF protocol, so it can connect to ONVIF-enabled third-party devices, such as some of Optiview’s third party manufacturers. Call your account managers to talk about our compatability matching.
PLAYBACK
The Optiview VMX platform allows for quick and easy playback of surveillance footage from both the Live footage interface, and the Playback interface. Users can search by time, date, or event type. Users can also zoom in on the timeline, and drag through the timeline with video scrubbing. Download multiple video files at a time, take single frame snapshots, or a ‘burst’ of snapshots.
SMART SEARCH
Search through your surveillance footage quickly and efficiently by using Smart Search, and targeting the area of the screen where motion would have occurred.

FISHEYE CAMERA SUPPORT
The software features full support for Optiview Fisheye cameras. The software supports options for the Fisheye camera installation and supports dewarping Optiview’s 360° panoramic fisheye cameras in both live view, and in playback. Because dewarp happens at the software level, the video is always recorded in full fisheye, even if the live view is being dewarped. This allows viewers to see the entire video, and dewarp sections of the video at any given time.

REAL-TIME FACE RECOGNITION
The Optiview VMX/+ performs real-time facial recognition on up to two (2) / thirty two (32) channels simultaneously.

The server also filters incoming video to display faces that match target features. Facial recognition requires a camera that supports this feature.

HOW DO I UPGRADE FROM THE VMS TO THE VMX?
The VMX software is completely different from the Optiview VMS and a user can use both. The VMX Server and Client software can be downloaded here.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VMX SERVER AND THE VMX CLIENT?
The server runs all the services and acts as a connection point for several clients that will handle the management of configurations, devices and integrations of one or more IP devices supported by the Optiview VMX software.
IF I HAVE THE SERVER DOWNLOADED, HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT?
The client can be downloaded using the link from the server user interface labeled as “Download Client”. I also made a link for the Client software within our technical support page which Georgia can use, to make a download link within the product resource page.
CAN I DESIGNATE THE NUMBER OF CAMERA CHANNELS BEING SEEN BY THE VMX PER DVR OR NVR?
Yes. The number of cameras “actually” in use by a device (for example a 32-ch NVR) can be designated within the VMX so that it can only sees the actual number of channels. For example, If a user is using multiple 32 channel recorders but not all channels, the VMX can be set to not count every single channel and maximize the usage.
CAN I DESIGNATE THE NUMBER OF ACCESS CONTROL DOORS BEING SEEN BY THE VMX?
No. Whatever the maximum number of doors that an access control panel can handle is, that is what the VMX will see. For example, a CAS-4MC (4 door master control panel) is expandable up to 64 doors, so this will max out the VMX. No additional master control panels can be added unless the user upgrades to the paid version of the Optiview VMX.
CAN I SEE THE HUMAN TEMPERATURE DETECTION & NOTIFICATION SOLUTION ON THE VMX?
The human temperature text overlay can be seen at LIVE mode and Playback mode at the VMX.
HOW MANY USERS CAN ACCESS THE VMX AT ONE TIME?
For the FREE version, only 1 user can access the VMX at any given time, regardless of how many clients are downloaded. With the paid version, up to 100 active users are able to access the VMX Server at any given time via multiple clients. See which software is right for you here!
