FAQs

Use VIGI Cloud VMS / VIGI VMS when you focus solely on surveillance or require advanced surveillance features. Use Omada Central when you are involved in both IT and surveillance systems.

VIGI Cloud VMS / VIGI VMS will offer more advanced surveillance features. Omada Central covers essential surveillance needs for SMBs.

No. A device can only be managed by one platform at a time.

Yes. Omada Central supports direct migration from an Omada Controller. To migrate devices from VMS, simply unbind them from VMS first, then adopt them into Omada Central.

No. Omada Central supports all models and versions compatible with the previous Omada Cloud-Based Controller and VIGI VMS. No need to update the hardware or firmware.

Omada Central can manage Omada and VIGI devices. Third-party IP cameras that are ONVIF S compatible can also be managed when connecting to VIGI NVRs.

The Omada Cloud-Based Controller has been upgraded to Omada Central. Note that Omada Central has two versions — Essentials and Standard — with network management functions identical to Omada Cloud Essentials and Omada Cloud Standard.

Support

*Omada Central can manage third-party cameras that support ONVIF Profile S, but they must be connected through a VIGI NVR.

**Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is only supported for network devices. Security cameras and NVRs are excluded due to security considerations.

***These features require the use of VIGI cameras.
