VIDEO MANAGEMENT SERVERS

Simple. Affordable. Sustainable.

Our Mission

"To make VMS and analytics simple, affordable and sustainable"

What we do

Video Management Servers Co. supplies a rationalised, value-engineered range of servers optimised for CCTV, video management and AI analytics applications. These are available to purchase new, purchase renewed using our MOSS™ (Managed On Site Servers), or purchase as a subscription.

Our purpose is to make video management systems more affordable, increasing their use in CCTV, security, and site management applications.

How we support our customers:

  • Affordable servers optimised for VMS and analytics

    VMS Co. supplies servers optimised for video management and analytics applications. These are available to buy outright new or renewed, or through our MOSS™ (Managed On-Site Server) subscription.

  • MOSS™ subscription service

    VMS Co.’s unique, MOSS™ subscription service delivers optimised video management and analytics servers to your site. These are owned, managed, maintained and warrantied by VMS Co. within the maintenance subscription fee.

  • Rationalised product range for simple selection

    VMS Co.’s product range is rationalised to help make selecting the right servers simple and easy. 

Our services include:

  • Reducing network failure points and streaming costs

    Deploying servers on-site addresses critical Cloud VMS limitations, including removing multiple points of system failure; reducing video streaming costs to the Cloud; and reducing risk from hacking.
     

  • UK technical and project support from VMS and IT experts

    VMS Co. provides UK technical and project support from industry experts. Its renewed MOSS™ servers come with a 7-year field-engineer-driven warranty with next-business-day support and parts, 9-to-5 help desk and portal-based ticketing system.

  • End-of-Life replacement and mid-term upgrades

    VMS Co. provides End-of-Life (EOL) replacements and simple, MIGRATE hardware upgrade options for when a server reaches EOL, or if the VMS system expands mid-term and requires a different hardware specification.

Benefits to your business include:

  • Our MOSS™ maintenance subscription is an Operational Expenditure

    VMS Co.’s MOSS™ subscription service is an Operational Expenditure not a Capital Expenditure. Because VMS Co. retains ownership of the MOSS™ server hardware within its subscription model, it is also designated a maintenance subscription fee.

  • Wide VMS brand compatibility

    VMS Co. servers work with all leading, open-platform CCTV, VMS and Analytics brands. Contact VMS Co about your project.

  • Sustainable and carbon-neutral

    VMS Co.’s MOSS™ subscription and renewed server options are a GreenTech, low carbon emissions solution. Our MOSS™ subscription and renewed servers are designed to help your company boost its own sustainability credentials.

Where the MOSS™ subscription fits in

The MOSS™ subscription service sits between purchasing a server or using a Cloud service. The MOSS™ subscription has many of the benefits of a Cloud service, including affordable, monthly subscription payments; managed servers; upgrade capability; full warranties and comprehensive technical support. However, unlike Cloud, video streaming and broadband costs are kept low, on a local server, and there is less dependence on unreliable broadband or WAN networks.

Further benefits of the MOSS™ subscription include:

Keep cash in your business

Keep cash in your business with our MOSS™ Managed Server on Site subscription service. It is a simple, monthly, quarterly or annual subscription for a fully managed, maintained and warrantied server, deployed at your site.

Reduce cost of entry of VMS

Our MOSS™ subscription service is designed to reduce the cost of using optimised VMS and VA servers, making them more affordable and less onerous to support. We support them for you!

Reduce video streaming costs

VMS Co.'s MOSS™ purchase and subscription service and on-site server approach removes expensive broadband costs by streaming video to a local server instead of across a broadband network to the cloud. However, with our subscription, the server is managed, maintained and warrantied by VMS Co. like a cloud server, removing the need to rely on erratic broadband or network connections.

Stay within the Operational Expenditure budget

Our unique MOSS™ subscription service is designated a ‘maintenance' fee keeping server and PC costs within the Operational Expenditure budget of a business.

We fit and you forget!

Our MOSS™ subscription service includes delivering the VMS server to site and supporting and maintaining it thereafter, to an agreed SLA, typically with a 7-year warranty. 

Managed server continuity

When a MOSS™ server reaches end of life (EOL), we can replace it as part of our service. We also offer a paid for ‘VMS software transfer’ service, moving the VMS software from the original server to its replacement. This gives continuity of site operation and maximises system uptime.

MIGRATE - upgrade flexibility

If a site CCTV system expands and the original server is no longer optimal, such as if more cameras are added to the system, MIGRATE is a service offered by VMS Co. to allow for this to happen seamlessly. The site can scale up with the additional servers it needs, or the original site servers can be replaced with higher specification upgrades. That is the flexibility of the MOSS™ subscription.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

VMS Co. offers a 7-year, next business day (NBD), field-engineer-driven warranty as standard. We have a 4-hour call out option for mission-critical applications, for an additional cost, through to a lower cost, 3-day call out to suit all applications.

Warrantied by Video Management Servers

VMS Co.'s MOSS™ purchase and subscription servers are warrantied for 7 years. Our new server option comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, with ‘next business day’ onsite support.

Sustainability

Changes to government sustainability policy during 2026 mean carbon-offset requirements will no longer be voluntary but mandated. VMS Co.’s MOSS servers deliver here too. They are a highly sustainable ‘GreenTech’ solution, focused specifically on carbon reduction, where the impact is far greater than the current carbon offsetting approach; which doesn’t fundamentally deal with the problem.

Working with leading brands

VMS Co. works with many leading server and PC brands to bring you our high-performance, optimised, CCTV, VMS and Analytics hardware solutions. Buy new, MOSS™ renewed or use our MOSS™ subscription.
