After adding a stream to the list (see Selecting cameras), the following parameters are recalculated:
Note.
Automatic recalculation can be disabled – see Disabling automatic calculation.
- Archive size: disk space or time period.
- Summary stream from IP devices, output and record.
The list of recommended platforms.
Note.
Results of platforms calculation in the Recommended platforms table can be sorted by column using the
button in the title of corresponding column.
In the Server's specs tab one can find the platform calculation results for processors with selected architecture (see Selecting CPU architecture).
The IPDROM solutions tab is not available in English version of the Platform calculator.
The number of servers which is required to use for specified number of video cameras is shown in the Servers column. Recommended RAM volume is given in the RAM, GB column.
To add a platform to the calculation results, type the platform name or part of it in the Add platform to recommendations field or select the platform name in the list. A platform rating at the http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php web-site can be used for search instead of platform name. In this case platforms with names including the entered number will be first in the search results list, and then the platforms with similar rating are displayed.
After the platform is selected, click Add platform. The platform will be added to the calculation results. To delete an added platform, click 
.
Note.
Processors added this way are populated from the http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php web-site data, so the result of platform selection is approximate.
Example.
If 100 cameras are added and as a result of the best platform calculation it is recommended to use 5 servers with 50-60% server load then it is required to use 5 servers and install 100 / 5 = 20 cameras on each server. In this case CPU of each server won't be more than 50-60%.
In other tabs in the Recommended platforms group (Promise, Secure Logiq), the recommended platforms by AxxonSoft partners are shown. To view a platform description on partner's web site, click corresponding link in the Platform column.
If platforms are calculated for Axxon Next, then calculation results both with and without the Intel Quick Sync Video technology usage are presented at the Server’s specs tab. The use of this technology provides reducing of CPU load. If this technology is taken into account when calculating results, Intel Quick Sync is specified next to platform name.
Note.
To save the calculation results in the excel file, click the Export configuration to XLS button. The export file includes both the list of recommended processors and the list of recommended IPDROM solutions. Promise and Secure Logiq solutions are not included in this file.
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.
There are no graphics card requirements for Servers without displaying. NVIDIA GeForce GT520 graphics card or more efficient is sufficient for Servers with displaying/RMW.
CPU load when using RMW is the same as one for Server with displaying.
