VSS Intro
Seamless integration with Vision Object Analytics
Cameras equipped with VIVOTEK Vision Object Analytics eliminate the need for complicated calibration and instantly send metadata to the server, saving you time in configuring the camera. Choose VIVOTEK Vision Object Analytics and VAST Security Station to quickly establish your A.I. surveillance system and reduce your efforts. Just plug in and get started!
Turn hours into seconds with Deep Search
People | Vehicle | Appearance | Path | Attribute
Transform your surveillance system with VAST Security Station(VSS). Our advanced technology - Deep Search, saves you time and effort by quickly locating people and vehicles within recorded footage using attributes, trajectories, and even similar appearances. Say goodbye to the tedious task of reviewing hundreds of thousands of frames - Deep Search brings you the convenience of finding what you need with ease.
Generate Case Report with Case Vault
Case Vault helps you manage footage found through Deep Search. It lets you organize clips and export detailed reports straight from your search results. This feature makes case management easier, simplifying the process of collecting and sharing key information with stakeholders.
Centralized Management of Surveillance and Network
VAST Security Station (VSS) lets you handle key tasks like PoE switch connections, storage space, and camera placements all from one spot. This setup provides real-time monitoring and alerts, making it easy to control and keep your surveillance and network systems working well all the time.
Device Status Monitoring
Health Monitoring(Beta) allows you to monitor the operating status of system devices such as network cameras, network devices, hard disk storages, and the number of connections and bandwidth with ease. When a network camera is disconnected, you can reboot it through VSS Pro. Not only monitoring the S.M.A.R.T. attributes of the hard disk, VSS Pro will also issue a warning hint before any potential damage occurs. This ensures that all the users can address issues before they affect the system, all from a single platform.
Flexible upgrade
VAST Security Station (VSS) is suitable for projects of different scales, from hundreds to tens of thousands of surveillance cameras, and from small and medium-sized enterprises to large-scale 24/7 operations. The VSS video surveillance system can support up to 22,400 cameras. With the advantage of pairing with Vision object analysis cameras, expanding the AI surveillance system becomes more flexible and even easier.

[Note]
1. Virtual machines have a small decrease in performance when compared to real hardware. Suggest having better or same hardware specification while your install VSS server or client on a virtual machine.
2. If you plan to install both VSS Server & Client on the same PC, please consider the combined loading when evaluating system requirements.
