    Note
    titleAttention!

    Note
    titleAttention!

    You are advised to place the log database and object trajectory database on a disk that has sufficient space. If you will be using only a log database, the disk capacity must be at least 5% larger than the archive size. If you will also be using a trajectory database, the disk must be at least 15% larger than the archive.

    The following formulas can help to determine the required disk size for the trajectory database:

    Size of object trajectory database = N×T×(0,5Gb / day)– sufficient disk size;

    Size of object trajectory database = N×T×(1Gb / day)– sufficient disk size plus reserve space;

    Size of object trajectory database = N×T×(5Gb / day)– sufficient disk size plus a large reserve.

    N equals the number of video cameras in the system actively recording metadata; T equals the period of time (number of days) that metadata will be stored. By default, T = 30 days.

    Info
    titleNote

    By default, the software will be installed to the directory C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\Axxon Smart\. By default, the log database and the object trajectory database will be placed in the directory C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\Axxon Smart\Metadata (in the pg_tablespace and vmda_db subdirectories, respectively)
