What is VAST 2

VIVOTEK’s VAST 2 is an easy to use IP video management software (VMS). To meet the real-world needs of users, it comes with exciting advancements such as easy operation on single or multiple monitors, custom layout to accommodate both corridor and panorama orientations, rapid export of multi-channel video and the acquisition of VCA analytics & cybersecurity attack events from VIVOTEK cameras and substations (such as NVRs) in a hierarchical system structure.

VAST 2 is integrated with VIVOTEK’s LPR Solution, Cybersecurity Management Solution, Smart VCA and Smart Search II. Cybersecurity attack and Smart VCA events can be searched and replayed in Event Search and be set as triggers in Alarm Management. In addition, Smart Search II allows users to search for specific object or people related videos. It also provides the option to draw a custom zone to focus on any critical area. To efficiently solve users’ problems and system bugs, VAST 2 provides an automatic problem feedback mechanism to directly connect to VIVOTEK’s FAE system. Any feedback will be handled instantly.

Utilizing automatic configuration wizards, VAST 2 can significantly reduce the time and cost of installing multiple camera surveillance systems. With more advanced setup features such as logical tree, camera configuration, archive management and recording schedule backup solutions, VAST 2 provides easy and intuitive UI with rich functionality to meet the needs of any customer. For efficient video management, VAST 2 also provides multi-layered, interactive 2.5D maps, and sophisticated alarm management. Furthermore, VAST 2’s add-on solutions include failover protection, a transportation solution with GPS coordinates, transaction solutions with POS integration and Data Magnet integration solutions. All of these features combine to make VAST 2 the perfect VMS for use in retail, banking, transportation, and industrial applications.

Password Protected Video Clips

This feature supports encrypting videos by adding a customized password to secure the trail of evidence and protect video content from being viewed by unauthorized people. The encrypted video can only be played by the included standalone player with the required password.

Smart Search II - People/Vehicle Search

Users can quickly sort through large amounts of footage to find people and/or vehicle related motion in video recordings. People and vehicles appearing in the user-defined area can serve as search criteria. This provides for quicker search times and the video clips can then be exported.

Multi-Factor Authentication for Access Control

This feature combines multiple data magnet sources such as license plate recognition, face recognition, and access control reader information in VAST 2 as trigger sources. When these data sets are confirmed matches, it will trigger the access control system to open the gate/door/barrier.

Data Magnet Integration

Data Magnet enables VIVOTEK’s License Plate Recognition cameras or third-party data sources to integrate into VAST 2, providing rapid access to recording data and supporting simultaneous data display during live streaming. Additionally, users can also utilize Data Magnet’s alarm management to customize alarm triggering rules and actions, enabling users to receive alarm notifications immediately upon preset alarm criteria triggering.

Video Content Analysis Integration

Integrate Video Content Analysis Technology (Smart Motion Detection/Smart VCA) from VIVOTEK’s cameras, making VAST 2 able to support display of VCA rules in liveview, bounding box on detected objects, alarm management and event-search functions. Provide improved accuracy for people and object detection, while reducing false alarms.

System Overview Dashboard

Monitor the system status including CPU, memory, and network usage of VAST 2 servers. Review error reports from the notification bar. Easily check the system overview via the dashboard.

Matrix for Video Wall Solution

Matrix provides a video wall feature to view cameras streaming from a VAST 2 server. Users can manage the matrix client(s) directly through the VAST 2 server.

Evidence Lock

Automatically bookmark related recordings when alarm triggered or manually extend the retention time for video recording and manage a high number of investigation scenarios.

Evidence Export

Easy export of multiple video recording with custom layouts in a specific time period or instant snapshot with a fast click.

Multiple Fisheye Dewarp Modes

VAST 2 provides multiple fisheye de-warp display modes for VIVOTEK Fisheye cameras, including 1O, 1P, 1R, 1O3R, and 1O8R. By using different dewarp modes, users can monitor any angle, and enjoy precise detailed images for a total surveillance experience.

Multi-Sensor Display Modes

To maximize the high-resolution characteristic of multi-sensor cameras, VAST 2 provides multiple display modes for VIVOTEK’s multi-sensor cameras: 1P, 1R, 1P2R, 1P3R. It allows users to monitor video details in several fields of view simultaneously.

From version 2.13, the trial and free 32-CH options are no longer packaged along with the software.

After installation or upgrade, users need to activate the software to redeem the complimentary licenses (support maximum 32-CH VIVOTEK cameras) or activate for the trial license (support 256-CH VIVOTEK & ONVIF cameras for 60 days).

If upgrading from version 2.12 or earlier to version 2.13, the original free channels will need to be activated using the new activation process. With the purchased channels, you do not need to re-activate them.

60-day trial includes 256-channel camera license and all advanced license features.
