Call your account managers to talk about our compatability matching.

The Optiview VMX platform allows for quick and easy playback of surveillance footage from both the Live footage interface, and the Playback interface. Users can search by time, date, or event type. Users can also zoom in on the timeline, and drag through the timeline with video scrubbing. Download multiple video files at a time, take single frame snapshots, or a ‘burst’ of snapshots.

Flexible & Scalable
Optiview VMX+ supports up to 512 video channels, which includes up to thirty two (32) face recognition cameras. Easily add multiple recorders, cameras, and access control devices from a single-site or from multiple locations around the world.
Fisheye Camera Support
The software features full support for Optiview Fisheye cameras. The software supports options for the Fisheye camera installation and supports dewarping Optiview's 360° panoramic fisheye cameras in both live view, and in playback. Because dewarp happens at the software level, the video is always recorded in full fisheye, even if the live view is being dewarped. This allows viewers to see the entire video, and dewarp sections of the video at any given time.

Real Time Face Recognition
The Optiview VMX/+ performs real-time facial recognition on up to two (2) / thirty two (32) channels simultaneously. The software captures and analyzes facial features to determine gender, age, expression, glasses, mustache, and mask, and then can record the faces and store the associated structured data. The server also filters incoming video to display faces that match target features. Facial recognition requires a camera that supports this feature.

Optiview VMX offers full support and integration for access control and video intercom products to support a complete security and surveillance system. The server monitors door status and events, manages access rights, and support advanced rules management.

The VMX software is completely different from the Optiview VMS and a user can use both. The VMX Server and Client software can be downloaded here.
The server runs all the services and acts as a connection point for several clients that will handle the management of configurations, devices and integrations of one or more IP devices supported by the Optiview VMX software.
The client can be downloaded using the link from the server user interface labeled as "Download Client". I also made a link for the Client software within our technical support page which Georgia can use, to make a download link within the product resource page.
Yes. The number of cameras "actually" in use by a device (for example a 32-ch NVR) can be designated within the VMX so that it can only sees the actual number of channels. For example, If a user is using multiple 32 channel recorders but not all channels, the VMX can be set to not count every single channel and maximize the usage.
No. Whatever the maximum number of doors that an access control panel can handle is, that is what the VMX will see. For example, a CAS-4MC (4 door master control panel) is expandable up to 64 doors, so this will max out the VMX. No additional master control panels can be added unless the user upgrades to the paid version of the Optiview VMX.
The human temperature text overlay can be seen at LIVE mode and Playback mode at the VMX.
For the FREE version, only 1 user can access the VMX at any given time, regardless of how many clients are downloaded. With the paid version, up to 100 active users are able to access the VMX Server at any given time via multiple clients. See which software is right for you here!
