Do I need a VMS or is the recorder I already have enough?
The recorder is enough for you as long as three things hold: it all fits in one place, everybody who watches can see every camera, and the video does not have to be integrated with anything else. As soon as one of the three fails, the recorder starts costing in hours what it saved in licences.
The signs that it has been outgrown are quite specific. There are two or three recorders and nobody knows which one holds the camera being looked for. A shift supervisor has to be given access to some cameras and not others, and the only way is to give them the password to everything. Exports have to be done often and it always ends up being the same person doing them. Or somebody asks for the door alarm to open the door camera, and there is no way in.
There is also a middle road that gets forgotten: several recorders joined under a management program from the same manufacturer. It solves the single view and the user list without setting up servers, and it falls short when integrations or a detailed permissions policy are needed. It is a reasonable option when what grates is the scatter and not the lack of functions.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
