August 06, 2024 – VIGI by TP-Link, a provider of easy and intelligent video solutions, launched VIGI Cloud VMS, a free* and unlimited public cloud-hosted video management system. This platform centralises and remotely manages security devices across multiple sites, offering basic features like video monitoring, event management, and device maintenance alongside advanced features such as map monitoring, a designer tool, and multi-user permission control. This system is ideal for multi-site monitoring scenarios, such as chain stores, distributed offices, and multi-location deployed solar systems, enhancing video management efficiency.

 

The Top Benefits of VIGI Cloud VMS

Unlimited and Free* Scaling of Your Projects

The most exciting feature is the ability to expand sites and devices freely without limitations. As a cloud-based system, VIGI Cloud VMS also eliminates the need for local front-end deployment, VPN, and IT maintenance costs, significantly reducing project expenses.

 

Multi-User Privilege Management

In multi-site scenarios, managing multiple user levels can be complex. With VIGI Cloud VMS, you can assign varying permissions to members for each site, such as Admin, Viewer, and Live Only. This ensures members access only necessary resources, simplifying system maintenance costs for administrators.

 

User-Friendly Designer Tool for Quick Project Proposal Creation

The VIGI Designer Tool is a powerful tool for simulating camera surveillance deployment. It enables users to quickly select products and generate detailed project proposals for installation guidance. Ideal for installers, pre-sales engineers, and similar professionals, it offers features such as:

• Professional Monitoring Coverage Display: Visualise coverage areas with precision.
• Intelligent Filters: Rapidly select products based on product filters like camera resolution and focal length.
• 2D/3D Views: Accurately simulates operation in both 2D and 3D.
• Intuitive Image Clarity Display: Displays different DORI levels within the same sector using colour depth and shows the current monitoring distance and pixel density as the mouse moves. This provides a clearer understanding of the camera’s performance at different distances.

These capabilities enhance the efficiency of proposal generation, significantly improving project delivery speed.

Real-time Map Monitoring

View the device monitoring coverage directly on a floorplan, access any camera for live view with one click, and even track the related videos for each camera. This feature enhances your understanding of on-site safety, especially across multiple locations.

                                                                       

Manage Anytime, Anywhere with the VIGI App

Easily manage your devices, view live monitoring and playback, and receive real-time alerts at your fingertips from anywhere, at any time—all without needing a VPN. The solution supports a web-based portal, mobile app and PC client.

 

Easy Deployment and Maintenance

(1) Expanding a New Site Takes Just 6 Minutes

• Create a New System in 3 Minutes: Simply register a TP-Link ID on the VIGI website and create a Cloud VMS organisation. Your system will be ready to go.
• Add Devices in 2 Minutes: Connect the app and devices under the same LAN, and the app can automatically search and add devices in batches.
• Expand a Site in 1 Minute: Simply create a new site in the system and configure the location and member information—no complex server expansions are required like with local systems.

(2) Auto Search and Add Devices

The VIGI app automatically detects devices under the same LAN and adds them in batches for hassle-free setup. This speeds up installation efficiency.

(3) Maintenance Without On-site Presence

No more on-site technicians and maintenance fees. VIGI Cloud VMS supports remote initialisation and configuration, online & auto firmware upgrades, off-site troubleshooting, and real-time device health alarms to reduce your maintenance labor costs.
