- Number of servers — the number of servers recommended for the specified number of cameras.
- 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.
- Server CPU load — CPU load as a percentage.
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 title Note 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.
- Server storage configuration: required configuration of the disk subsystem, in particular:
- 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.
- Recommended RAID configuration if RAID level was selected:
- total number of disks per server,
- disk size,
- number of RAID groups,
number of hotspare-disks.
Info title Example 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.
- Required storage recording rate: total recording rate which must be supported by the disk subsystem of the server.
- 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.

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%. |

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. |
