3 System Overview

FLIR United VMS Latitude is a network-based video and audio management system

comprised of servers, client workstations, connected media units (e.g. encoders, decoders,

cameras, domes, etc.) and additional optional components, such as external storage

modules, and sensors. The system provides a single, highly customizable client

application, Control Center, for viewing live and archived media, alarms and interactive

maps. It supports all matrix-style features such as sequencing and guard tours. A second

client application, Admin Center, allows for robust management of every aspect of the

system, including camera and recording parameters, user privileges, alarm behaviors and

much more.

FLIR United VMS Latitude is designed for maximal scalability and flexibility in order to

enable any combination of remote and local monitoring and archiving. The system

topology diagram below illustrates a typical setup such as might be used by a customer

such as a retail bank that has multiple small- or medium-sized branches, a large

centralized data center and a separate security office. Note that monitoring is not limited

to the security office in this example -- it can be performed by local personnel at the

branches or by any user that connects to the system from within the corporate network

or via the Internet (using a Transcoder and Gateway server, not shown in the diagram

below).
