Computer requirements
The POS-Intellect software package requires the same computer configuration as the Intellect (base) software package; see the Intellect Software Package: The Administrator’s Guide document.
Operating system requirements
The POS-Intellect software package requires the same operating system configuration as the Intellect (base) software package; see the Intellect Software Package: The Administrator’s Guide document.
Video camera requirements
The POS-Intellect software package requires the same video cameras as the Intellect (base) software package; see the Intellect Software Package: The Administrator’s Guide document.
POS-terminal requirements
We recommend creating no more than 200 POS-terminal objects (see The POS-terminal object setup procedure) on one computer to ensure fail-free system operation.
MS SQL software should be installed on the same computer as the POS-terminal objects.
Attention!
Creating web reports (see Intellect Web Report System. User Guide) may take a long time when there are lots of POS-terminals and the receipt database storage is big.
Define required disk space (receipts database size)
Disk space required for storage of receipts database can be calculated by the following formula:
Required disk space, GB = N (pcs.) * K (items/hr) * T (days) * 24 (hrs/day) * 2.4 (KB) / 10242 (KB/GB)
Where
N is a number of objects generating events;
K is an average number of items per object per hour. It can be estimated experimentally in operation conditions.
T is an archive depth in days set while system configuration.
2.4 KB is a disk space required for storage of one event.
Example. Let us have 75 objects, each of them processes 1 item in 5 seconds (~720 items per hour). Archive depth is 90 days, 16 hours per day.
Required disk space, GB = 75 (pcs.) * 720 (items/hr) * 90 (days) * 16 (hrs/day) * 2.4 (KB) / (1024*1024) (KB/GB) = 177.98 GB ~ 180 GB
