VMS Design Using the Features of ViconNet

2. New Technology – New Issues
Newest Generation of IP Video Systems Presents New Challenges:
Systems are entirely IP
They include megapixel cameras with significantly higher picture resolution
Ease of connectivity is facilitating more cameras-per-system
Need for More Resources!

3. The Impact of Megapixel Cameras

4. Cameras User Stations NVR Storage Rules Of Thumb For SYSTEM Design
Pick the right camera from the resolution and FPS stand point
User Stations
What is the best application for each user?
NVR
Calculate the number of NVRs considering location
Calculate the storage required per NVR considering internal or external drives
Storage
If using a SAN, try to allocate a separate network
Make sure the storage is well balanced

6. System Design Example Design a System with the Following:
100 IP cameras
50 are 4-CIF; average 2Mbps
50 Megapixel; average 3Mbps
5 viewing stations watching 16 cams each
24/7 recording of all cameras
On average, 3 users will be using each camera at any given time
Assumptions:
Each video stream is ~ 2.5 Mbps (average)
We can use 1 Gbps switches
