Server Requirements for 52 Hikvision IP cameras
Posted: Wed May 03, 2017 8:50 am
Good day! I would like to ask what will be the server requirements that could accommodate 52 Hikvision IP cameras. Thank you very much for the help.
it's not just the quantity of cameras...
the resolution and bit depth (colour or B&W) of the cameras, and the number and area of zones on each camera are also important.
with two Hikvision 1920*1080 IP colour feeds and 4 alarm zones I see a load average of 1.7 to 2.4 when not recording on a single E5504 processor.
also consider that 52 cameras recording 1080p 24*7 could be over 8TB of disk capacity per day
