BriefCam VMS Integration Plugin Installation
VMS plugin installations are available for BriefCam Protect, Insights, and Rapid Review.
You can install one or more VMS-specific BriefCam integration plugins to subsequently enable the BriefCam Server to connect to one more VMS environment (multiple simultaneous integrations are supported). The VMS integration Plugin Installation, as well as the VMS SDK (for relevant VMSs) is required to be installed on every machine on which the BriefCam server/On-Demand processing server/Real-Time processing server is installed.
Plugins are available for selected VMS systems (refer to: Supported VMSs). Each installed plug-in will be embedded on the BriefCam Server for subsequent selection within the BriefCam Server Admin application. For more information, see Camera and VMS Configuration.
The VMS plug-in installations will deploy the required prerequisites as needed per plug-in.
