What Needs to Be Done When Deploying the CMSV Server on the Cloud?

When choosing to deploy the CMSV server software on a cloud platform (such as Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, etc.), the following steps should be completed:

1. Purchase Cloud Server Resources

Choose a cloud provider that supports Windows Server (e.g., Google Cloud Compute Engine or AWS).
Configure appropriate CPU, RAM, and disk space based on the expected number of connected devices and workload.

2. Assign a Static Public IP

Allocate a static public IP address to your cloud server.
This ensures that external devices (e.g., body cameras, vehicle terminals) can maintain a stable connection to the server.

3. Deploy Windows Server OS

Install the Windows Server operating system on the cloud instance.
Enable Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access so you can manage and install software on the server remotely.

4. Upload and Install CMSV Server Software

Transfer the CMSV server installation package to the cloud server and complete the installation.

  1. Extract the files and follow the prompts to install the CMSV Server main program;
  2. Launch the service and ensure the background process is running properly;

5. Configure Firewall / Security Group Rules

Set up security group or firewall rules in the cloud platform to allow necessary network ports used by CMSV:

Please open the following ports (both TCP and UDP where applicable):

  • 6601–6612 (TCP/UDP)
  • 2121 (TCP)
  • 2122–2162 (TCP)
  • 6617–6622 (TCP)
  • 6630–6635 (TCP)
  • 88/808/8080 (TCP)

✅ A total of 67 ports need to be opened to ensure full functionality.



Example: Configure Firewall / Security Group Rules on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

When deploying the CMSV server on an AWS EC2 instance, you must configure the instance’s Security Group to allow inbound traffic on the required ports.

Steps to Configure Security Group on AWS:

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console
    Go to the EC2 Dashboard.
  1. Select the Security Groups
    In the left sidebar, under Network & Security, click Security Groups.
  2. Find or Create a Security Group
    • You can select an existing Security Group attached to your CMSV server EC2 instance, or
    • Click Create Security Group to make a new one.
  3. Edit Inbound Rules
    • Select the Security Group and click Inbound rules tab → Edit inbound rules.
    • Add the following inbound rules to open the required ports:

6. Configure Device Connection Parameters

On each body camera or frontend terminal, set the server address to the cloud server’s public IP.
This allows for remote login, real-time video transmission, and data reporting to the cloud CMSV server.
