The Cisco^® Integrated Video Surveillance solution enables you to rapidly deploy highly distributed, IP-enabled video surveillance at your offices while migrating traditional analog surveillance equipment to IP.

The solution offers very low total cost of ownership (TCO) for the branch office, ease of integration through network transparency, reliable data interoperability, and maximized overall security. It allows you to consolidate costly branch-office servers and deploy new applications centrally while still offering real-time access to physical security video and data.

The Cisco Integrated Video Surveillance solution comprises:

• Cisco integrated services routers

• Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) Modules

• Cisco^® Video Management and Storage System (VMSS)

• Cisco IP Video Surveillance 16-Port Analog Video Gateway (AVG) Network Module

• Additional products from the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager product line

This data sheet discusses the Cisco Video Management and Storage System (VMSS) for the Cisco integrated services routers.

Product Overview

Cisco VMSS offers a powerful system for highly distributed video surveillance systems:

• Manage all of your video sources through a single, converged interface

– Support for Cisco IP Video Surveillance Integrated Analog Video Gateway

– Support for most major third-party IP cameras and encoders and decoders

• View live and archived video through the same Internet Explorer "thin-client" interface

• Store archival video locally

– Up to1 TB of local storage per module and the ability to extend integrated storage through the use of the Cisco Integrated Storage System (ISS)

• Intelligently manage your video store through motion-based video stream recording

• Notify relevant security personnel using email messages, pages, and Short Message Service (SMS)

• Control system access with highly configurable user privileges

In addition to these benefits of distributed video surveillance, Cisco VMSS provides a low TCO solution and transparently preserves all existing network services. For additional information about Cisco VMSS, visit www.cisco.com/go/isrvideo.

Cisco VMSS Product Line

Addressing varying customer needs based on branch-office size, bandwidth availability, and usage patterns, this product line is designed to scale to very large enterprisewide deployments. The Cisco VMSS is designed to be deployed in highly distributed environments as edge devices at branch offices; appropriate products exist for high-density locations for individual deployments (Figure 1). This product line can act as one homogenous solution for coverage of all of your video surveillance deployment needs. For more details about the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager appliances, refer to www.cisco.com/web/solutions/ps/products.html - netcentric.

The VMSS is available for the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers as well as the Cisco ^® 2900 and 3900 Series Integration Services Routers from the new Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) portfolio.

The Cisco VMSS for the Cisco 2900 and 3900 ISRs

The Cisco VMSS for the Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series ISRs is an application that is hosted on the Cisco SRE Service Module 700 or 900 (Figure 2). These SRE modules allow you to host Cisco, third-party, and custom applications. The modules have their own processors, hard disks, network interfaces, and memory that operate independently of the host router resources, helping to ensure maximum concurrent routing and application performance while reducing physical footprint, lowering power consumption, and consolidating management. You can provision the VMSS application on the module initially or remotely at a later time. This solution enables organizations of various sizes to reduce cost of rolling out branch-office services, help ensure that their network will be compatible with future versions, and quickly deploy new branch-office applications. One of the many advantages of deploying VMSS on a SRE is the increased onboard capacity for video retention at twice the size of the previous VMSS network module.

The Cisco VMSS for the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series ISRs

The Cisco VMSS for the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series ISRs runs on dedicated network-module hardware. Like the service modules mentioned previously, these modules also have their own processors, hard disks, network interfaces, and memory that operate independently of the host router resources. Refer to Table 1 for comparisons among the various products.
