Ta b l e 1-4 Overview of Basic VSM Configuration Tasks
Configuration Task Required Information
Adding servers—Configure
information about each
Multi Services Platform that
will run VSMS and each
Multi Services Platform that
will run VSVM
Obtain the IP address or host name of each server
that you are adding.
All VSOM clients that access a Multi Services
Platform that runs VSMS must use same IP
address to access that Multi Services Platform.
You must configure a host name rather than an IP
address for access to VSMS if clients will access
VSMS through a system that translates the VSMS
IP address, such through another network or
through a firewall that performs network address
translation (NAT). In this case, make sure that
each client can resolve the host name. For
example, you could configure DNS or edit the
Windows Hosts file on each VSOM client (see
your DNS or Windows documentation for
details).
Adding video encoders—If
your deployment includes
analog cameras, configure
information about video
encoders, which convert
analog video into digital
video that can be used by
VSM.
Obtain the following information for each video
encoder:
Model number.
IP address or host name.
User name required to access the device (if
applicable).
Password required to access the device (if
applicable).

Cisco VSM
Cisco VSM comprises a suite of software modules that function with other
devices in an IP network to support video transmission, monitoring, recording,
archiving, and display. In addition, VSM provides a comprehensive set of features
and functions for configuring, administering, managing, and performing
day-to-day operations of a video surveillance solution.

Chapter 1 Overview
Introducing the Cisco Video Surveillance System
Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server (VSMS)—Manages cameras, records
and archives video, and provides access to live and recorded video.
Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager (VSOM)—Provides a
web-based user interface for configuring, managing, displaying, and
controlling video throughout an IP network. Also provide features for
managing video devices and users.
Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix (VSVM)—Enables the display and
control of live and recorded video on remote monitors.
Cisco Multi Services Platform
The Cisco Multi Services Platform includes various server models that are
intended for use in IP video surveillance environments. Designed for seamless
operation with VSM, the Multi Services Platform runs the VSM software and
provides storage for surveillance recordings.
Each Multi Services Platform consists of a chassis, which includes one or two
power supplies (depending on the model and options), fans, and other
components, and an array of hard drives for storage of surveillance recordings.
The Multi Services Platform is available in the following models:
1 rack unit (RU) Multi Services Platform, model CIVS-MSP-1RU—Supports
up to four 750 GB or four 1 TB SATA hard drives and one full height, 3/4
length PCI-x or PCI-e card.
2 RU Multi Services Platform, model CIVS-MSP-2RU—Supports up to
twelve 750 GB or twelve 1 TB SATA hard drives and up to three full length,
half height PCI-e cards.
4 RU Multi Services Platform, model CIVS-MSP-4RU—Supports up to
twenty-four 750 GB or twenty-four 1 TB SATA hard drives, and up to three
full length, full height PCI-e cards or up to 2 full length, full height PCI-x

Cameras
Cameras provide video images and, depending on the camera, audio. VSM
supports a wide variety of fixed and movable pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) cameras of
these types:
Analog cameras—Capture video and (on some models) audio and output this
information in one or two analog streams (depending on the model). An
analog camera requires a video encoder to convert this stream to a digital
stream that can be processed by the IP network and VSM components.
Digital cameras—Also called IP cameras, these devices capture video and
output this information in one or two digital streams (depending on the
model).
For details about the features, functions, placement, installation, and operation, of
a camera, see the documentation that is provided for the camera.
Video Encoders
Video encoders convert video streams from analog cameras into IP packets,
compress these packets, and forward them to the network. An analog camera must
be connected to a video encoder to operate with VSM.
Client PCs
Client PCs are computers that can connect to the network on which VSM runs and
that you use to access various VSM features and perform various VSM operations.
These PCs are identified as follows:
VSOM client PCs—Provide access to the VSOM web-based interface that
you use to configure, manage, and operate VSM.
VSVM client PCs—Provides interactive access to live and recorded video,
which you can display on configured monitors.
One PC can function as both a VSOM client and VSVM client simultaneously.
Cisco has verified the successful operation of dedicated client PCs that are
configured as follows:
Operating system—Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2

The following sections provide overviews of common VSM deployment
scenarios. For more information about these and other deployment options, refer
to VSM design guides or contact Cisco or your Cisco partner.
Single Site Deployment, page 1-12
Multiple Site Deployment with Centralized VSM Management, page 1-13
Single Site Deployment
In a single site deployment, one or more Multi Services Platforms are located at
the same facility. If there are two or more Multi Services Platforms, they reside
on the same local area network (LAN). Client system can access VSM if they can
connect to that network.
In the simplest single-site scenario, one Multi Services Platform runs all VSM
components (VSOM, VSMS, and VSVM). A deployment if this type might be
appropriate for a small deployment of up to a few dozen cameras.
Figure 1-1
illustrates this scenario.
Figure 1-1 Single Site Deployment with One Multi Services Platform
A single site deployment can include many Multi Service Platforms. In this
situation, VSOM runs on one Multi Service Platform, either by itself or with other
VSM software. The other Multi Service Platforms run VSMS. A deployment of
this type allows scaling the solution to address wiring requirements and to support
a large number of cameras and increased retention rates.
Figure 1-2 illustrates a single site deployment with three Multi Service Platforms,
one that runs VSOM and VSVM, and two that run VSMS.

OL-19733-01
Chapter 1 Overview
Deployment Scenarios
Figure 1-2 Single Site Deployment with Several Multi Services Platforms
Multiple Site Deployment with Centralized VSM Management
In a multiple site deployment, Multi Services Platforms at separate locations
connect through a wide area network (WAN). Each location can have one or more
Multi Services Platforms and client systems can access VSM if they can connect
to the network. These deployments can be designed for centralized or distributed
management of VSM and requires WAN link connection speeds that can support
the bandwidth that you require.
In a centralized VSM management deployment, VSOM runs on one Multi Service
Platform, either by itself or with other VSM software. The other Multi Service
Platforms can run VSMS and VSVM in any combination. A deployment of this
type might be appropriate for an enterprise with distributed locations that wants
to manage and operate VSM software from a central location.
Figure 1-3 illustrates an example of a basic multiple site deployment with
centralized VSM management.

Figure 1-3 Multiple Site Deployment—Centralized VSM Management
In a distributed VSM management deployment, one Multi Services Platform at
each site runs VSOM. Other VSM software may also run on that server, or may
run in any combination on other Multi Services Platforms at the site. VSM is
configured and managed independently at each site. A deployment of this type
might be appropriate for an enterprise with autonomous branch locations that
wants to manage and operate VSM locally but that also wants access to VSM at
each site.
Figure 1-3 illustrates an example of a basic multiple site deployment with
distributed VSM management.
