To ensure optimal performance, do not exceed the maximum number of cameras and readers supported by each server type and server profile in Security Center 5.12.
| Server type | Maximum number of cameras or readers | |
|---|---|---|
| With Minimum server profile | With Recommended server profile | |

Directory & Archiver

50 cameras or 50 Mbps | 100 cameras or 200 Mbps |

1 For high-performance Archivers (500 cameras and up), see Security Center 5.12 server requirements.
2 For high-performance Redirectors (475 cameras or 475 Mbps and up), see Security Center 5.12 server requirements.
3 If the server is configured with the minimum requirements, SQL Server must be hosted on a separate machine.
Support for over 250,000 cardholders
To support 250,000–600,000 cardholders in your system, the Directory and Access Manager roles must both be standalone. As a minimum requirement, each server hosting these roles must meet the specifications of the Above 250,000 and up to 600,000 cardholders server profile.
Fusion Stream Encryption impact on Archiver performance
The first encryption certificate enabled on the Archiver reduces the capacity of the Archiver by 30%. Each additional encryption certificate applied to all cameras further reduces the Archiver capacity by 4%.
For example, on an Archiver that supports 300 cameras without encryption:
| Number of certificates enabled | Number of supported cameras |
|---|---|
| 0 encryption certificates (no encryption) | 300 cameras |
| 1 encryption certificate | 210 cameras |
| 5 encryption certificates | 178 cameras |
| 10 encryption certificates | 145 cameras |
| 20 encryption certificates | 96 cameras |
