Does your NVR support a large number of cameras? What are the recommended system requirements?

NOTE2: If you have similar questions, you should read System Integrator's Manual thoroughly.

With the CMS architecture and careful project designing & planning, a fairly scalable system can be constructed, as illustrated below:

Primary NVR server

For the CMS architecture to work, there need to exist a primary NVR server, which holds the information of other NVR servers (like the diagram above). This server will be the server to connect when client is connected from a remote site.

Maximum number of TCP incoming connection per server is 150.

The maximum workable number of camera in one server is determined by the memory size, CPU computing power, bandwidth, storage space, combined with the camera configurations such as resolution, FPS, and the usage of intelligent analytics.

Recommended System Requirement

Following is a performance table we came up a couple of years ago, as the time goes by, the techniques of PC, codec are upgrading, combined with dual-stream (if incorporated), the performance will have significant increasing. However, user has to test the boundary by himself. In addition, the video analytics is heavy CPU consuming, the user should test all possible configurations during trial to ensure the system meets future needs.
