Connect your existing surveillance systems and manage them from one place

‍

VMS Broker is squareTec's proprietary platform for integrating independent video management systems, various locations, and multi-vendor technologies into a single operating environment.

The platform provides access to live video, archives, alarms, maps, PTZ functions, and other data from integrated systems. Administrators receive centralized tools for managing users and permissions, while operators can work within a single interface regardless of which VMS platform a specific location uses.

VMS Broker is designed for organizations with distributed surveillance infrastructure that has been developed in stages and is based on different systems or manufacturers.

The solution allows you to leverage existing infrastructure and expand your surveillance environment without the need to replace all functioning VMS systems.

‍

Centralized management of multiple VMS systems

In large organizations, surveillance systems are built over many years. Subsequent facilities, investments, acquisitions, and operational requirements lead to the deployment of various VMS systems, servers, and devices from different manufacturers.

VMS Broker creates a common management layer over them.

The platform can integrate environments by providing operators with a unified interface.

Depending on the configuration, users can utilize:

• live video preview from multiple systems,
• playback of recordings,
• PTZ camera control,
• centralized alarm and event handling,
• site maps and camera locations,
• user and permission management,
• footage export,
• integration with external analytical systems and applications.

‍

Integration of VMS systems from different manufacturers

VMS Broker is designed as an integration layer between independent video surveillance systems.

It allows you to connect environments that operate independently and make their resources available within a single operational environment.

This also applies to organizations that have developed their monitoring over the years based on various technologies and architectural models. As a result, existing systems can remain part of the infrastructure while new locations are added to the shared environment.

VMS Broker works with systems such as Genetec, Milestone, Bosch, and Senstar.

VMS integration with video analytics and external systems

VMS Broker can serve as an integration layer between monitoring systems and applications used in security processes.

Depending on the project, integration is possible with, among others:

• video analytics and AI systems,
• ANPR solutions,
• external applications,
• Big Data systems,
• maps and spatial data,
• MQTT,
• notification systems,
• other security systems.

VMS Broker for the public sector and multi-site organizations

VMS Broker is used wherever monitoring covers multiple facilities, units, or technological systems.

Public administration

Centralization of monitoring for buildings, field units, and facilities under a single organization.

Critical infrastructure

Integration of monitoring systems distributed across facilities with varying technical requirements and access levels.

Transport

A unified environment for monitoring stations, terminals, parking lots, support facilities, and other locations.

Industry

Integration of monitoring systems for plants, warehouses, industrial sites, and auxiliary facilities.

Organizations with distributed infrastructure

Standardizing access to VMS systems deployed independently across various locations.

Why VMS Broker?

Leveraging existing infrastructure

There is no need to replace all existing systems just to achieve a common operator environment.

Vendor independence

Organizations can integrate different VMS platforms and develop infrastructure according to the specific requirements of each location.

Phased development

Additional facilities and systems can be incorporated into the architecture as new investments are made.

A single work environment

The operator uses a unified interface instead of working in parallel across multiple independent workstations.

Integration capabilities with other systems

VMS Broker can be connected to analytics, ANPR, maps, applications, and other systems used by the organization.

Solution developed by squareTec

VMS Broker is a proprietary solution from squareTec. We can expand its functionality and integrations to meet the requirements of any specific environment.

‍

VMS Broker implementation by squareTec

We begin the implementation by analyzing the existing infrastructure: VMS systems, locations, networks, operator workstations, user management methods, and required integrations.

The scope of work may include:

Environmental analysis

‍Inventory of systems and definition of operational and technical requirements.

Architecture design

‍Selection of integration methods, server models, communication protocols, and security measures.

VMS system integration

‍Connecting existing platforms and configuring required features.

External system integration

‍Connecting VMS Broker with analytics, applications, and other security systems.

Commissioning and testing

‍Verifying the operation of integrations, operator scenarios, and access mechanisms.

Training

‍Preparing operators and administrators to work with the solution.

Support and development

‍Further expansion of the environment as new locations, systems, and requirements emerge.

Let's talk about VMS system integration

If your organization uses multiple VMS systems, distributed monitoring, or infrastructure developed over many years, we can analyze your existing environment and determine the possibilities for its integration.
