4.0 VideoManagementSystem
FVA‐IPcamerasdonothaveanystoragecapacityonboardtocaptureandreplayvideoimagesofalarmconditions.
This must be done throughuse of avideo management system. In addition,the video managementsoftware user
InterfacedoesnotcommunicatedirectlytoFVA‐IPcameras,butratherthroughtheFikeVideoAnalyticssystemvideo
managementequipment,FSM‐IPNVR.
IftheFikeVideoAnalyticssystemwillnotbeusingtheFSM‐IPhardware/softwarepackage,thenanalternativethird‐
partyvideomanagementsystemmustbeused.ASoftwareDevelopmentKit(SDK)isavailablethatallowssuchthird‐
partysystemstousesoftwaremodulestogainaccesstodatafromFikeVideoAnalyticsFVA‐IPnetworkcamerasandto
actasaconduitforcontrolcommandsfromtheFikeVideoAnalyticsvideomanagementsoftwaretothecameras.If
your installation will be using athird‐party video management system, contact FikeVideo AnalyticsCorporation for
furtherinformationontheSDK.
5.0 FikeVideoAnalyticsVideoManagementSoftware
Now that the cameras are installed, and the FSM‐IP video management system has been placed on the local area
network(LAN),thevideomanagementsoftwarecanbeinstalledonanapprovedPCworkstation.TheVMSsoftwareis
usedtocreatetheorganizationstructure,configurethecamerasettingsandmonitorthecameras.TheVMSsoftware
shouldbeinstalled on atleastonelocal workstation locatedonthesameLANasthecameras.However,additional
copiesoftheVMSsoftwarecanbeinstalledonothercomputersthathavenetworkaccesstothevideomanagement

systempriortoapplicationtoensureallrequiredpaperworkhasbeencompleted.
Ataminimum,commissioningincludes:
 Testing and stability period – where the system is subjected to fire and nuisance sources to demonstrate
stabilityandperformance.
 Documentation‐ Documentationofthe organizationalstructure,camerasettings,sensitivitysettings,zones,
schedulesandeventsarchive.(seeAppendixD)
 Preliminary Maintenance and service check ‐ The system should be checked according to the service and
maintenancerequirementstoestablishthesystemsconditionuponinstallation.
Oncethe system is in place andsettingsadjustedasnecessary to ensure optimum performance,the system can be
handedovertotheenduser(on‐sitesecurityoraremotemonitoringfacility).Thesystemownershouldrecordany
changesuptooneyearaftercommissioningofthesystem.
NOTE:Duringthecommissioningperiodthecachefileandmemorystorageonthevideomanagementsystemshould
beregularlycheckedtoensurethatadequatememoryisavailabletostoreeventsfor30days.
