Too Many Cameras, Too Few Operators
Use video analytics and event-driven monitoring to focus operator attention on situations that require action instead of continuously watching every camera.
Scalable video management for professional CCTV systems — from a single server to distributed multi-site installations, with integrated analytics and open integrations.
Sagitech VMS is professional video management software for IP video surveillance and CCTV systems. It combines live monitoring, recording and archive access, alarm handling, user management and operator tools in a single platform.
It can be deployed on a single server or scaled to distributed multi-server and multi-site systems. Sagitech VMS supports multi-brand camera environments, integrated video analytics, Windows and Linux, web and mobile access, and third-party integrations through open standards, HTTP API and SDK.
Sagitech VMS helps solve common challenges in professional video surveillance — from managing distributed CCTV systems to reducing operator workload, automating response and making better use of existing cameras.
Use video analytics and event-driven monitoring to focus operator attention on situations that require action instead of continuously watching every camera.
Bring cameras, servers, users and monitoring from multiple locations into one centrally managed video surveillance system.
Keep compatible cameras from different manufacturers and modernize your system gradually instead of replacing the entire video infrastructure.
Use archive tools, events, timelines and analytics data to locate and review relevant video faster.
Automate routine responses with events, scenarios, schedules and actions — from notifications to project-specific workflows.
Use video analytics, statistics and reports to support security, operations and management — not only post-incident investigation.
Sagitech VMS is designed for professional video security projects that require flexibility, reliable operation and room to grow. It combines centralized management, scalable architecture, open integration capabilities and direct project support, helping integrators and organizations build systems around real operational requirements and expand them as those requirements evolve.
Whether designing systems for customers, deploying CCTV projects or managing video security in your own organization, Sagitech VMS provides the flexibility, integration options and management tools required for professional installations.
Build multi-brand solutions, integrate third-party systems through API and SDK, and get direct technical support for project requirements.
Deploy systems faster with broad camera compatibility, flexible editions and project-oriented licensing.
Centralize servers, cameras, users and permissions across multiple locations with monitoring, redundancy and advanced analytics.
For larger and distributed projects, Sagitech VMS provides the architecture and operational tools needed to expand across multiple servers and sites while keeping management, monitoring and system control centralized.
Start with one site and add servers, storage, analytics and locations as the project grows.
Manage remote servers through a unified domain with centralized live view, archive and administration.
Use redundancy, server monitoring and archive controls for higher system availability.
Keep compatible multi-brand cameras and introduce new equipment or analytics gradually.
HTTP API, SDK, ONVIF and RTSP provide flexible integration with third-party systems.
Per-camera perpetual licensing with free updates and technical support.
Add video analytics to turn camera streams into actionable events, statistics and operational data. Sagitech VMS combines analytics with alarms, scenarios and automated actions, helping operators detect important situations faster and automate routine workflows.
Detect security events automatically and bring relevant situations to the operator's attention without continuously watching every camera.
Identify people and vehicles, track detected objects and use recognition results in security, access and investigation workflows.
Transform video into useful operational data for visitor flows, queues, staff activity and customer behavior, with statistics and reports for further analysis.
Use analytics and system events to trigger alarms, notifications and predefined actions, creating automated workflows tailored to the way each site operates.
Sagitech VMS combines the core capabilities required to monitor, record, investigate and manage professional video surveillance systems — from efficient operator workflows to resilient multi-server deployments.
Organize live video, alarms and visual information for efficient day-to-day monitoring and control-room operation.
Build and switch layouts quickly for large camera sets and different operator tasks.
Create centrally managed layouts for user groups and keep them synchronized across operator workstations.
Place cameras on site plans and manage multi-screen video walls from a centralized control point.
Use different camera streams depending on viewing mode and window size to reduce network and client load.
Store video reliably and investigate incidents faster with resilient storage, synchronized playback, smart search and flexible export.
Distribute recording across multiple disks for efficient write and read performance. If one disk fails, recording switches to the remaining disks, available data stays accessible, and users are notified of the storage fault.
Find relevant video by time, events, object position, size and visual attributes instead of reviewing long archive periods manually.
Review the same incident across several cameras on a common timeline.
When a camera switches between primary and backup servers, its recordings remain available to the operator as one continuous timeline.
Export several cameras or selected fragments in one operation. With AVI export, multiple cameras or fragments can also be combined into a single file.
Native archive integration is available for supported NVRs, including Hikvision and Dahua, as well as other integrated devices.
Turn system and analytics events into focused operator attention, notifications and automated actions.
Automatically bring cameras with active alarms to a dedicated operator view and clearly identify the event that requires attention.

Extend workflows with C# scripts, external applications, e-mail and other project-specific actions.
Build centralized multi-server and multi-site systems while preserving availability, centralized control and clear system health.
Combine remote servers into one centrally managed domain with unified access to live video, archive, events and administration.
Work with cameras and archives from multiple independent servers in one client, even when a unified domain is not required.
Assign primary and backup servers to cameras so recording and processing continue on the reserve server if the primary becomes unavailable.
Monitor server reachability, camera status and recording state centrally and surface faults to users quickly.
Manage users, permissions, cameras and configuration across distributed infrastructure from a single environment.
Control access, centralize authentication and retain accountability across professional and multi-site deployments.
Define users and groups with inherited, object-level permissions for cameras and system functions.
Import and authenticate Active Directory users and apply VMS permissions without maintaining separate identities.
Record key user and administrative actions to support accountability and investigation of system changes.
