VAST Server and Client Components

There are four components in VAST: one server component--VAST Server, three client
components--VAST LiveClient, VAST Playback, and VAST Matrix.
VAST Server provides a centralized management site for video recording. VAST LiveClient
is a client program for the user to login and modify the server's configuration, edit the server's
recording storage, schedules and many other functions on the server; VAST Playback is
another client program for the user to login and browse the recorded video database and video
clips related to specific events on the server.

Usage Scenario

The powerful management scalability of VAST makes it suitable for managing small- to large-
scale structures.
For users that manage only a few cameras, we recommend installing the client and server
components on the same computer. A host with all of the three components installed is recognized
as a stand-alone site. All the functions can be simultaneously performed on one single site.
For users who manage large-scale surveillance deployments, please plan the hierarchical
structure first. Then you can start to add cameras to each station and connect these sub-stations
to the root station. The whole hierarchical management system is thus constructed.
