Hikvision is one of the world's leading brands in the development of video surveillance solutions, offering a wide range of products that ensure the security of homes, businesses, and large installations. Among its most recognized offerings are the iVMS (Intelligent Video Management System) software versions, which play a crucial role in the management and monitoring of Hikvision's video surveillance systems. In this article, we will explore what iVMS is, its different versions, and the purpose of each one. As an installer of Dahua and Hikvision security systems, I frequently use iVMS, as well as Dahua's ConfigTool.
