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 5.13.
| Server type | Maximum number of cameras or readers | |
|---|---|---|
| With Minimum server profile | With Recommended server profile | |

1 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 provided in Server requirements for high-performance access control.
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 |
