Server Sizing Concept; Approximate Video Data Volume Per Second; Required Hard Disk Capacity - Canon VB-C300 Administrator's Manual

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:

2) Video data volume per second: If the video data volume per second by server exceeds
Every operation environment of VK-64/VK-16 is different (due
to
Note
specifications) and the figures provided below are just for the
reference.
Data volume per drive should be less than 2TB.

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)
JPEG
MPEG-4
For Storage and Playback Server: Maximum amount of recorded data per server = 3
MB/sec or less
JPEG
MPEG-4
Data-writing performance may be reduced than the approximate
values given above depending on the hard disk or the RAID card
Note
in the PC.
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.
Consider the required hard disk capacity based on
continuous recording with fixed frame rate, resolution,
and quantity.
values shown below, you should consider multiple
servers or review the recording conditions.
