New Technology – New Issues Newest Generation of IP Video Systems Presents New Challenges: Systems are entirely IP They include megapixel cameras with significantly higher picture resolution Ease of connectivity is facilitating more cameras-per-system Need for More Resources!

The Impact of Megapixel Cameras

Cameras User Stations NVR Storage Rules Of Thumb For SYSTEM Design Pick the right camera from the resolution and FPS stand point User Stations What is the best application for each user? NVR Calculate the number of NVRs considering location Calculate the storage required per NVR considering internal or external drives Storage If using a SAN, try to allocate a separate network Make sure the storage is well balanced

System Design Example Design a System with the Following: 100 IP cameras 50 are 4-CIF; average 2Mbps 50 Megapixel; average 3Mbps 5 viewing stations watching 16 cams each 24/7 recording of all cameras On average, 3 users will be using each camera at any given time Assumptions: Each video stream is ~ 2.5 Mbps (average) We can use 1 Gbps switches
