How CMS HUB works

CMS HUB collects events from NetStation servers and security systems, stores them in a shared SQL database and makes them available to CMS Professional workstations — with permissions from Active Directory.

One place for events from many servers

CMS HUB combines events from VMS servers, access control, intrusion and fire alarm systems. Scenarios react to parallel and interdependent events across the whole structure.

  • Scenarios across many servers at once
  • Shared event queries
  • Visualisation in CMS Professional

Proxy: clients without Internet access

When recorders operate in a WAN, CMS Professional workstations connect through CMS HUB. They do not need permission to connect to the Internet.

  • Fewer open network connections
  • Simpler firewall policy
  • A single access point to the recorders
