  1. Number of servers — the number of servers recommended for the specified number of cameras.
  2. Server platform — platform name and, if detection tools using the GPU/VPU are specified, links to GPU/VPU selection (see Types of detection tools). When you click on the link to the GPU/VPU selection, the documentation pages with the performance data will open.
  3. Server CPU load — CPU load as a percentage.
  4. Server RAM, GB — the recommended size and number of RAM modules for dual-channel operation, taking into account the number of processors on the platform. For example, “4 x 8GB” RAM means two 8GB RAM modules per processor for a dual-processor platform.

    Info
    titleNote

    RAM should be used in dual-channel mode or greater mode based on the number of processors in the platform. For example, at least 2 RAM modules must be installed for single-processor platforms, and at least 4 RAM modules for dual-processor platforms.

    Using RAM at a higher frequency, or using RAM in dual-channel mode or greater mode results in CPU load decrease, and therefore in the performance increase.


  5. Server storage configuration: required configuration of the disk subsystem, in particular:
    1. Actual archive size and required HDD marked capacity  for storing the archive if No RAID calculation was chosen, or actual archive size if RAID level was chosen.
    2. Recommended RAID configuration if RAID level was selected:
      1. total number of disks per server,
      2. disk size,
      3. number of RAID groups,
      4. number of hotspare-disks.

        Info
        titleExample

        28x 4 TB (2x RAID-6 + 1x HS) means 2 RAID-6 groups with a total of 27 4 TB disks and 1 hotspare-disk.


  6. Required storage recording rate: total recording rate which must be supported by the disk subsystem of the server.
  7. LAN (in/out): total rate of the video streams from IP cameras, to be provided by the bandwidth of the network interface of the server.
Info
titleNoteExample

If 100 cameras are added, and as a result of recommended platform calculation, it is recommended to use 5 servers with 50-60% server load, this means that it is required to use 5 servers and install 100/5 = 20 cameras on each server. In this case the CPU load of each server will not exceed 50-60%.

titleNote

The results of hardware platform calculation can change hardware configuration can both increase and decrease depending on the camera model, camera settings and exposure of the image. Extra objects can increase the hardware configuration.
