How LarisVMS works, before you install. The same pages are built into the app under Help.

Overview How LarisVMS fits together: the web server, recorder nodes, media proxies, and cameras. Installation & upgrades Installing the web server, recorder nodes, and media proxies, and keeping them up to date. Cameras Adding cameras, streams, groups, multi-lens devices, and vendor integrations. Recording Recording modes, schedules, event tags, pre/post-roll, and segment length. Motion detection Motion sources, server-side motion, zones, and the motion grid. AI detection Object detection on the node: models, hardware, thresholds, snapshots, and the external backend. Storage & retention Where recordings live, how long they're kept, the watermark, and the archive volume. Nodes Recorder nodes: status, streaming paths, media proxies, failover, maintenance, and updates. Live view & playback Views, live tiles, the playback timeline, exports, bookmarks, snapshots, and activity. Users & access Accounts, roles, permissions, camera access, Active Directory, and Microsoft sign-in. Alerts & email Alert rules, notification channels, and email provider setup. Backups Database backups, and what else needs backing up. Security IP allow lists, a separate live/playback port, certificates, and encrypted secrets. Troubleshooting Common problems, and where to look.
