To ensure your system runs optimally, there are additional things to consider for server specifications in Security Center 5.11.
Note the following additional considerations for server specifications in Security Center
5.11.
- When video streaming is not in multicast from the camera, the maximum throughput calculation must include camera streams being redirected by the Archiver.
- Software motion detection can reduce the maximum capacity by as much as 50%. When enabling motion detection, use hardware motion detection to ensure maximum capacity.
- Systems above 300 cameras or doors must isolate the Directory on a dedicated server.
- A more powerful server than the recommended specification will not necessarily increase the maximum capacity.
- A virtual machine with the exact same specifications as its physical counterpart has 20% less capacity.
- A dedicated Network Interface Card (NIC) should be assigned per instance of the Archiver role or Access Manager role when using virtualization.
- VMware ESXi must be installed on a clean computer; that is, no operating system is installed on the computer.
- The Genetecâ„¢ Server service cannot be installed on the same machine as the domain controller.
