Interactive Mapping
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Valerus offers the ability to create and import detailed static maps or live geographical maps and overlay camera and other resource icons directly on to it. The icons can be placed in an exact location on the map and their view can be modified. The maps have the ability to be linked to other maps, supporting multi-level drill down, and provide a quick way to review live and playback video on the map itself. The maps are added as a resource on the Monitoring Resources list and present a wealth of information in a very efficient and understandable manner.
Display Options
Valerus provides multiple options for the display resources, up to a 6x6 grid displaying 36 devices. As it is often convenient to have several displays available, multiple views can be created with different displays for easy access to the user. These views can be created directly from the Monitoring screen or in Configuration and listed in the Resources list. Multiple monitors are supported in Valerus.
VAX Integration
The Valerus VMS easily integrates the VAX access control system and offers the ability to control VAX directly from Valerus. This allows the automatic linking of Valerus video with corresponding access control events, ensuring the ultimate in ease of use and flexibility.
Central Licensing
A single license activates all Valerus components, including cameras, NVRs and clients. Systems can complete licensing directly from the VMS Configuration system. Software can also be updat-ed directly from a Configuration screen. The software licensing is organized in a tier structure that combines the number of devices and a specific feature set. Both the number of devices and the features must be taken into consideration when making the choice of licensing. Refer to the Valerus Tier Features table.
VALERUS VMS FEATURES
TopologyValerus can be deployed in different configurations depending on system size and logistical deployment; configurations include standalone system on a single PC, a centralized site running multiple servers or a central site running multiple remote NVRs and cameras. Offered in both a software only configuration or factory certified hardware, the components of a complete Valerus VMS are: Application/Web Server: This is the brains of the system, where the database is active and all system programming is stored. On systems with under 150 cameras, the Application Server can run on one of the recording servers. Recording Servers: All Recording Servers (NVRs) record and provide video and audio streams; each is capable of handling a specific number of cameras based on its specification. Client Viewing Station: With this thin-client topology, client viewing stations can be on any PC running Microsoft® Internet Explorer 11 or Google Chrome with the Valerus Chrome extension available at the Chrome store.Below is a topology for a typical system (central). Other topologies are possilbe to meet almost any installation requirements.
* The Valerus Internet Gateway is a software module that may be installed on the Application Server or a dedicated computer.

Software Licensing TiersThe Valerus software is provided for download on Vicon’s website. Valerus has centralized licensing; a single license code activates all components. The key to activating the software is determined by the license type selected; each license is per edge device (with a single IP address), regardless of the number of channels that device provides. Refer to the Valerus Tier Features table.

VALERUS VMS FEATURES
The Valerus system consists of 3 components:
• Application/Web Server holds all the programs and runs the Web Client, providing central management and operation for the system.
• Recording Server (NVR) that records video and audio and streams it to the users
• Web Client that provides access to the system through the web browser
All these modules communicate with each other but are not bundled into one product.
True Standards BasedThe Valerus system is ONVIF-centric. Valerus is ONVIF Profile G and will work with any camera that is ONVIF Profile S or Q compliant. There are no expensive proprietary camera drivers.Valerus is also utilizing open SSL and REST API.
System Health Dashboard
The Valerus system has a central Dashboard that provides easy to read notifications and warnings on the system functions. It offers this for the Application Server, NVRs and all system edge devices as well as notifications on cybersecurity. Additionally, a set of graphs provides ongoing data on camera distribution, bandwidth and recording performance, offering an easy to read look at system behavior and health to assist in solving conflicts and problems. Clicking an error will go directly to that device’s configuration page.
System Configurations
Valerus can be deployed in different configurations depending on system size and requirements. • Standalone systems hosted by a single PC.• A centralized multi-site system is supported, where
components are on separate PCs but are all on one network and video can be pulled from any NVR on the network.
• For large solutions, a distributed multi-site system provides remote recording on local NVRs managed from one server from the center.
Valerus has centralized licensing; a single license code activates all components. The key to activating the software is determined by the license type selected. There are three tiers of licensing available, based on a combination of number of edge devices and feature set.
• The CORE level supports up to 35 edge devices and 10 concurrent clients with most basic features.
• The PRO and ENTERPRISE levels support unlimited edge devices and concurrent clients; PRO supports advanced features and ENTERPRISE supports premium features, including NVR failover and analytics.
• A no cost tier for trial systems (TRY) is available. There is no technical support for these systems.
All licenses are per edge device with a single IP, but not per channel on that device. Additionally, it is important to remember that the numbers of devices and the features required must be taken into account when deciding on the type of license that is required for each system.
When a new version of the software is released, bug fixes will be available to all users free of charge. Upgrade protection programs are available so all systems can be maintained at the current level. Cost-effective Upgrade Protection Plans are available for edge devices.
System HardwareThe Valerus Application/Web Server and Recording Servers (NVRs) can be customer- provided COTS hardware with software installed by the user or purchased preinstalled on Vicon certified hardware.
System Software
The Valerus software is available on the Vicon website. There is no fee for the software. There is a 30-day grace period that the software can be used, full-featured, for the user to determine the license type required for the installation. Functionality will end after 30 days if no license is activated.Valerus is based on a Windows Service that runs in the
background. It is completely browser-based and requires a browser that supports Active X (currently IE 11 and Firefox); it will work on Google Chrome using the Valerus Chrome extension. Apps are available at the Apple and Google stores for mobile devices. An Internet Gateway allows for internal connectivity.
Quick Configuration
Valerus provides a Quick Configuration tool that can get the system up and running with minimal input. This streamlined process allowsl the VMS to discover and configure all devices on the network with a few mouse clicks. It uses the most commonly used default settings, which can later be fine-tuned as needed.
User InterfaceValerus has a clean and optimized user interface. Easy to use tabs allow access to Configuration, VAX and Dashboard as well as the Monitoring screen for display. A versatile choice of display options are provided and multiple views can be created.
Playback is simple, using the timeline from the live video display. Video can also be easily exported from the display area. Digital zoom is available directly from live view, as well as from playback.
All Resources are displayed on the Monitoring screen and can be viewed according to a hierarchy or by user group. Often used websites can also be accessed directly from the Resources list.
Rules and EventsValerus provides simple setup of Rules that trigger responses to a variety of Events. Devices are associated with specific events and can be configured to react as specified. Pre-event recording is provided. An email server can be connected to allow sending mail alerts. A Listener can be configured to alert users to external events,that occur and rules can be set to act upon these.
Single Point of ManagementThe entire Valerus system is centrally managed from the Application Server. All configuration, including user and user group management, event and alarm handling, and system-wide authorizations, upgrades and licensing are done from one unit.
Authorization Roles and Users
Robust security is provided by four Authorization Roles, Administrator, Supervisors, Investigators and Operators, who have different privileges. There are system and resource authorization for each role. New roles can be created as needed.
RecordingBoth video and audio can be recorded and played back. Additionally, audio can be associated and linked to video that is recorded. Recording can be scheduled and pre-event recording is provided.

Active Directory SupportValerus can connect to an Active Directory server, allowing to operate using the groups and users in Active Directory.
Device ConfigurationResources are configured directly from the VMS. There is a link to the devices web interface for configuration of certain features, if needed.
Mobile AppA free mobile app, both Apple and Android, is available for smartphones and tablets. Mobile devices can be connected to Valerus and listed as any other resource. Additionally, event notifications can be sent to the mobile device using the Rules engine.
Alarms
When Events have been defined and an alarm occurs, a dedicated alarm event tab will open to display the content configured for the alarm. There will also be a visual and audible indication of the alarm, which can be set on/off by the user of confgured to time out or require a manual shut off.
VAX Access ControlA VAX system can be easily accessed directly from the Valerus interface. It opens in a separate window and can be easily dragged to another monitor so that Valerus and VAX systems can be viewed simultaneously.
Network and SecurityProtocols that Valerus can work with include IPv4/IPv6, TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RTCP, RTP, DHCP, UDP and ARP. Valerus provides HTTP, HTTPS encrypted data transmission, SSL and password protection for security. A user can be set to a complex password that can be enforced.
MaskingPrivacy Masks can be setup in the VMS when it is necessary to protect sensitive areas of the video from being seen. A VMS-based unmask feature is also provided to temporarily remove the mask on the video display. The mask can also be removed on an exported video clip.
Museum SearchThe Museum Search feature allows a very fast and accurate scanning the recorded video for changes in a specific region of interest, such as motion in an area or a missing item.
Thumbnail SearchThumbnail Search provides an efficient method of looking for a specific object over a large period of time by searching through a video clip and presenting a picture at certain intervals, allowing a fast visual comparison between the times. This can be accessed directly from the playback timeline.
360° Lens Dewarp
This capability allows digitally manipulating the full fisheye image of a 360° lens camera and zooming into specific areas on live and recorded video.
Support for Keypads and PLC ControlsVicon security keypads and PLC controllers can be connected through a serial or IP connection and used to control switching of video and camera control.
Backup and Restore System SettingsThe system settings from both the Application Server and the NVRs are backed up on a continuous basis and can be used to recover a failed server, eliminating the need to reconfigure the unit. This applied only to settings and not to recorded video.
Central Software UpgradeA new Valerus version can be uploaded to the Application Server and remotely pushed to the NVRs for update, eliminating the need to physically go the each NVR in the system.
Application Server Redundancy
A backup server can be added and defined in the Valerus System. If the primary Application Server fails, the secondary server can be made active. (This requires a PRO/ENTERPRISE license.)
ViconNet GatewayA Valerus module has been designed to provide a simple migration path to allow bridging an existing ViconNet system (minimum v.5.6d) to a Valerus system (requires minimum Valerus version 18).
Support for H.265 Compression
Now supported by ONVIF, H.265 format offers highter video compression to support lower bandwidth and overall storage requirements.
SmartAnalyticsIntegrated server-based SmartAnalytics offers real-time analytics, SmartSearch and Business Intelligence Analytics. Rules can be created for people, vehicles and object detection. These capabilties require additional licenses (requires an ENTERPRISE license and minimum Valerus version 18R2). When licensed, this will be available from the Search function.
NVR FailoverA dedicated NVR can be configured to be a failover NVR and act as a backup to NVRs that fail. Clusters of NVRs and failover NVRs that back them up can be created. This operation is transparent to the user and recording will contnue as configured. (Requires an ENTERPRISE license and minimum Valerus version 18R2.)
Log CollectionA log collection option allows the retrieval of system logs from all Valerus PCs without the need for a specail tool.
Device ReportsA report button on the devices screen can generate an Excel report of all the devices, sorted by their hosting NVR of as a flat list.
Event SearchAllows searching the events database, where all events, both internal and external, that occur in Valerus are stored. Additionally, a query tool can be used to create queries of the stored events for simplification of the search process.
Maps
Valerus offers the ability to create detailed maps and then overlay camera and other resource icons on to it. The maps have the ability to link to other maps, offering a quick way to review video directly from the map. Static maps (images) and live Geographical maps (online live) can be created. Bookmarking
The Valerus use has the ability to create a text bookmark related to a video feed, including entering notes. This bookmark will be accessible from the playback screen as well as searchable in the query form.
Audit LogTrack every user’s actions in the system to the database. Actions can be searched byh user, PC, date/time and specific action. This can be exported to an HTML or Excel report format.
PartnersA supported partner that integrates with Valerus can be added as a Resource. The list of partners is constantly being updated.
