What are the minimum system requirements for server-based video surveillance with 22 IP Cameras?

Question

Iron

Hi all.

I have 22 IP cameras with a resolution of 2mp, I want to organize the recording of an archive from cameras in 1080p and 265 codec on the server, without the viewing function on the server, using third-party software. Different products give different numbers for system requirements.

A question for connoisseurs is Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6 enough for such requirements? If we approach the products more accurately, then these are Xeoma or Trassir.

Answer 1

Further, my personal IMHO based on long work with video surveillance.
On disks - these are consumables, purple - shit for my money)
I take things for non-critical things - WD blue (yes, I like them) or similar Siggates, Toshiba
If it's critical - wd black
Ost disks there is pure marketing, I'm talking about green in general I am silent
Now on chambers. I understand you will use a hick? Then the best choice is a tracer, just make sure that the licenses for the tracer channel for them will also come with the cameras, this is not now available for all hick models ...
Further - the hick has its own very good software - iVMS server, and it is free, up to 64 channels. If you just need to look / write down, then this is the easiest and cheapest option. I have it on many sites, it works very well.
Also, do not forget to allocate a SEPARATE disk for the system.
According to the calculation of the CPU - a modern i5, you have enough eyes. I

Dance from them.
The main CPU resources are spent on displaying the picture on the monitor. The recording itself does not eat a lot of CPU, because. there is already a compressed stream. In general - yes, Xeon is enough.

Answer 3

Enough for tracer.
35 channels(3 to 8MP), 4 i5 cores. CPU usage is less than 30%.
