Definition

What is a Video Management System?

A video management system (VMS) is software that collects, manages, stores, and monitors live and recorded video from IP cameras across one or multiple sites. It centralises recording, AI analytics, playback, user access, camera health monitoring, and incident response under one platform — replacing fragmented DVR and NVR hardware.

Tentosoft's on-premise video management system runs entirely within your infrastructure — every camera feed, every AI insight, every health alert, and every audit log stays on your servers. No data exits your network boundary.

For Indian enterprises in BFSI, government, defence, and healthcare, this is not an IT preference. It is a regulatory requirement under the DPDP Act 2023.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions buyers ask Google, ChatGPT, and Gemini — answered directly.

What is an on-premise video management system?
An on-premise video management system is VMS software deployed on servers inside your own facility — with zero cloud dependency. All video recording, AI analytics, camera health monitoring, storage, and user access happen entirely within your infrastructure. Tentosoft's on-premise VMS includes real-time camera health and NVR health monitoring — so your surveillance never fails silently.
What is a video management system (VMS)?
A video management system (VMS) is software that collects, manages, stores, and monitors live and recorded video from IP cameras across one or multiple sites. It centralises recording, AI analytics, playback, user access, camera health monitoring, and incident response — replacing fragmented DVR and NVR hardware with a single intelligent platform.
What is the difference between VMS and NVR?
An NVR records video locally on hardware. A VMS is software that goes beyond recording — managing live monitoring across unlimited sites, AI-powered event detection, NVR health monitoring, HDD failure alerts, forensic investigation, and DPDP compliance. Tentosoft VMS replaces only the management layer — your existing NVR hardware stays in place, preserving your full camera investment.
What is the cost of on-premise VMS software in India?
Tentosoft on-premise VMS starts from ₹2,000 per camera (perpetual licence) for up to 100 cameras. Enterprise deployments are custom quoted. AMC is 15% of licence value per year. Unlike cloud VMS at ₹200–₹800/camera/month, on-premise is a one-time investment — a 100-camera deployment at ₹2,000/camera totals ₹2,00,000 one-time. Use our cost calculator for your exact scenario.
Does Tentosoft VMS include camera health monitoring?
Yes — this is one of Tentosoft's biggest differentiators. Our platform includes real-time camera health monitoring (disconnection, obstruction, angle tamper), NVR health monitoring (recording gaps, system load), HDD failure prediction, and CCTV downtime prevention. Most VMS platforms only manage cameras that are working. Tentosoft also tells you when they stop working — before you discover a blind spot after an incident.
Is Tentosoft VMS compliant with India's DPDP Act 2023?
Yes. On-premise deployment satisfies DPDP Act 2023 data localisation requirements categorically — all footage stays on your servers, in India, under your governance. Tentosoft VMS includes configurable retention with automatic deletion, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, RBAC with MFA, and immutable audit trails. We provide a free DPDP Compliance Checklist on request.
How many cameras can Tentosoft VMS support?
Tentosoft on-premise VMS scales from 10 cameras to 100,000+ using microservices architecture — adding compute nodes to scale without platform migration. A single server typically manages 200–500 cameras. We provide free hardware sizing documentation for your specific camera count, resolution, and AI workload.
Which Indian companies use Tentosoft VMS?
Tentosoft VMS is deployed across Indian enterprises including Berger Paints, Signode, and customers in BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare, and education sectors across India. Our Chennai-based team handles deployment, integration, and support — with setup completed in under 24 hours using your existing camera infrastructure.
