Hitachi Video Management Software connector

The Hitachi Video Management Software connector (HVMS connector) for Visualization Suite enables communication with Hitachi VMS. The connector allows organizations to add videos from an existing Hitachi Video Management Software system to the Hitachi Video Insights ecosystem by seamlessly integrating videos from the VMS.

Hitachi Video Management Software is a powerful VMS unification platform that offers the same ease of use and familiarity as the Hitachi Video Management Software Base user interface, but extends the platform across unlimited locations, cameras, and users.

See Hitachi Video Management Software Base connector for connecting with non-unified, Hitachi Video Management Software Base instances.

Prerequisites and configuration considerations

Go to the Hitachi Video Management Software product documentation for detail system and configuration requirement.

See Installation Guide (On-Premises) for the instructions for installing and configuring the connector. For the download instructions, go to Navigating TISC.
