Summary

A video management system (VMS) is the core of the video surveillance systems used for public safety, traffic monitoring, etc. Basically, a VMS receives video from cameras and allows a user to view that video either live or recorded. Currently, emerging VMS approaches incorporate more and more intelligence into their design, including video analytics and access control.

As a VMS is networked, it is fully exposed to various vulnerabilities such as those faced by Internet web services and can easily be a target of cyberattacks.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1453 analyses the security threats to server platform based VMSs running on an IP network and specifies security requirements to counteract the identified security threats.
