Requirements for PCs depend on Intellect software installation type. The following installation types are available:

  1. Servers are designed for digitization, processing, recording, transmission and displaying the incoming video signals from the cameras of the video surveillance system.
  2. Remote Administrator Workstations are designed for remote monitoring of video signals, for creating gateways and archives of video sequences, for logging the events registered by INTELLECT™ software and use as a web server for the transmission of video signals over HTTP (this protocol is used to transmit signals over the Internet and display them with standard Web-browsers). Configuration requirements for the Remote Administrator Workstation depend on the functions it is designed to perform.
  3. Remote Monitoring Workstations are designed to playback incoming video and audio signals from video surveillance system servers and to control cameras, microphones, PTZ units, etc.

Minimal requirements for computer configuration are specified in the table.
