The following chapters outline how a small- to mid-sized IP-Surveillance system can be implemented
using Axis network video products and AXIS Camera Station software.
Server selection
This chapter discusses general server recommendations, hard disk selection, network-attached storage
and RAID as they relate to the installation of the AXIS Camera Station software and its hard disk clean-
up procedure.
General server recommendations for AXIS Camera Station
The table above outlines the recommendations for server requirements in implementing an IP-Surveil-
lance system using AXIS Camera Station as the video management software. The recommendations are
not minimum requirements.
Notes:
> The figures are based on viewing and recording video with a 640x480 resolution and a 25 percent
compression rate using Motion JPEG. Raising the resolution, frame rate and image quality will raise
the requirements for the server.
> The CPU recommendation is based on Intel Dual Core processors. Other options such as Xeon Dual
may lower the CPU requirement.
> Using H.264 or MPEG-4 recording will reduce bandwidth and hard disk requirements.
> For best performance and stability, use local hard disks or a high performance network storage
solution for storing recordings.
> Software-based RAID systems should not be used since performance bottlenecks could result. A good
hardware RAID controller with fast disks could be a good option to secure your recordings.
> The disk drive (normally C:) where Windows and AXIS Camera Station are installed should have enough
disk space for the AXIS Camera Station log files. Allow at least 1 GB free disk space for the log files.
> The AXIS Camera Station Client requires a good graphics adaptor with at least 256 MB of memory and
support for DirectX 9.0C.
Hard disks
When selecting hard disks for your surveillance solution, keep in mind that the recording of a continuous
stream of video from multiple cameras will add more load on the hard drive than a standard office PC or
mail server.
There are three main hard drive solutions on the market:
1. SCSI
2. Serial ATA
3. IDE
4.2.
4.
4.1.
