Think about your cameras.

Do you have any ONVIF cameras?

This is a trivial question, but a differentiating factor between Lite and Standard/Professional. If you have ONVIF cameras in the mix, then choose VSS Standard or Professional.

How many cameras do you have?

If you have less than 32 cameras, and all cameras are VIVOTEK, then choose VSS Lite. If you have more than 128 cameras, then choose VSS Professional. Anything less than 128 cameras and includes ONVIF cameras, VSS Standard is the way to go. Aside from the number of cameras, deployment, features should also be considered.

Think about your storage.

Do you plan to keep your videos in Linux desktop NVR or Windows server?

If you only have Linux desktop NVR, pick VSS Standard for the most economical option.

If you have both Linux desktop NVR and Windows server, select VSS Professional is recommended for managing up to 700 substations.

Think about your feature needs.

Basic needs

For basic needs such as live view, playback, and recording, VSS Lite is a suitable option. However, if you require additional features like alarms or an efficient way to search people and vehicles based on their attributes and behaviors, VSS Standard has got you covered.

Complete Deep Search experience

If you need accurate search results, an efficient search method like Deep Search can assist you. This function in VSS Professional not only filters search results by attributes and behaviors, but also performs re-identification across the entire database. This feature can save time and costs by efficiently finding people with similar appearances**.

** Re-identification feature is named "Re-Search" in the software. Searching similar appearance of people are required to use VIVOTEK AI cameras.

Failover

If you are concerned about system downtime, VSS Professional always provides reliability and availability. The failover feature is only compatible with VSS Professional substations could reduce the risk of downtime and data loss.

Video wall

If you're looking to set up a video wall, you'll want to make sure you have the right tools for the job. The Matrix feature in VSS Professional allows you to monitor multiple locations at once.

In conclusion, VAST Security Station offers a range of editions to meet the needs of different users. Choosing the right one can be challenging, but considering your cameras, storage, and feature needs can help you make an informed decision.

With VSS, you can enjoy powerful A.I. surveillance system that helps keep your premises and assets secure. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your security infrastructure and gain peace of mind.
