What is Dispatch Server ?What is Dispatch Server ?

The Dispatch ServerConnects 25,000 GV-Systems to 500 Center V2 serversDistributes the workload between online and offline

Center V2 serversUtilization of Load-balancing technique: Distributes requests from event-triggered GV-Systems

evenly across a Center V2 network If one Center V2 server starts to get swamped, the

Dispatch Server forwards requests to another Center V2 server with more capacity

When one Center V2 server fails to work, another can take over in the processing activity

Why Needs Dispatch Server?Why Needs Dispatch Server?

Important for a large Center V2 server farm where it's difficult to predict the number of requests from multiple GV-Systems to a serverSuitable for businesses or franchise stores where a large cluster of networked GV-Systems in use and an enormous amount of surveillance service requiredStreamlines networking processes from GV-Systems to Center V2 servers so that no single server is overwhelmed

What is Vital Sign Monitoring (VSM)?What is Vital Sign Monitoring (VSM)?

An event-alert text messages service for a large cluster of networked GV-Systems where an enormous amount of maintenance service required

When any online GV-System is event-triggered, instant text messagestext messages are sent to VSM for IT operator to proceed with maintenance on the GV-System cluster

Serves as many as 1,000 GV-Systems simultaneously

20

The Use of VSMThe Use of VSM

Helps IT operator easily notice GV-Systems’ health status

Real-time response to various frequent events in GV-System

Sends back emails, SMS alerts, or activates alarms, output device to GV-System to the guard’s attention on any of the eventsCo-work with Center V2 Server

21

VSM OperationsVSM OperationsKeeps track of event-triggered GV-System’s location ID, event type, message received time, event start time/end time. Event types include: Motion detection I/O trigger Connection: camera video or I/O lost Alarms System login/logout System: service start/stop/fail; monitoring start/stop

Event lists in access format for easy retrievalsMonitors GV-Systems’ health status: Acquires time reports on free storage space of GV-Systems and views all storage

info Notifies operator if any GV-System’s keep days is lower than setting View online GV-Systems’ cameras online/offline status, input device on/off status,

HDD storage update status Automatically logon to VSM server when Center V2 server is online
