System Design Concept

Server Sizing Concept

Determine your server configuration (components and the number of units) depending on
1) required hard disk capacity and 2) video data volume per second.

1) Required hard disk capacity: 

Consider the required hard disk capacity based on
continuous recording with fixed frame rate, resolution,
and quantity.

2) Video data volume per second: If the video data volume per second by server exceeds

values shown below, you should consider multiple
servers or review the recording conditions.

Approximate Video Data Volume per Second

The recording performance of VK-64/VK-16 v2.0 is as follows.

For dedicated Storage Server: Maximum amount of recorded data per server = 5.5
MB/sec or less  (when using SCSI, SAS disk)

For Storage and Playback Server: Maximum amount of recorded data per server = 3
MB/sec or less

VGA

QVGA

JPEG

60 fps

200 fps

MPEG-4

Total 24Mbit/sec.

VGA

QVGA

JPEG

110 fps

360 fps

MPEG-4

Total 44Mbit/sec.

Required Hard Disk Capacity

The size of the images varies depending on the configuration of the Camera Server (the
settings for Quality and Resolution) and the complexity of the actual image.

Every operation environment of VK-64/VK-16 is different (due
to different requirements and different hardware
specifications) and the figures provided below are just for the
reference.

Data volume per drive should be less than 2TB. 

Note

Data-writing performance may be reduced than the approximate
values given above depending on the hard disk or the RAID card
in the PC.
