min. 250 GB

(Actual capacity varies depending on operating environment)

 

Writing speed should be equal to number of recording streams without buffering.

 

Example: 10 cameras x 1.5 Mbit = Minimum writing speed (I/O speed)= 15Mbit

NOTE!

 

Limitations:

 

- The maximum number of frames shown per client, may not exceed 220 Frames Per Second (Depending on hardware configuration!)  This reference is based on a computer with a recommended hardware configuration in a E8500 3,16Ghz /2GB FSB 1333/XPPro environment.

 

The computer must be only used for this specific application. The operation of other programs will decrease performance and potentially terminate operation.

 

Griffid is a no load software system designed to operate on a dedicated server. Client operations do not require the installation of additional software for its specific operations. Please note that the operation of a single computer / or server can significantly decrease performance and lead to a termination of operations.

 

The number of applications which can operate at same time is dependent upon the hardware configuration of your client. Each application adds to memory and processor requirements and can result in client operation problems and even loss of client server communications. If you require the operation of many simultaneous tasks, your client should have high speed dual core processing approaching 3Ghz and available memory of 2 or 3 GB. As programming is maintained on the server, loss of client/server communications does not necessarily mean your system as stopped operating.

 

It is recommended to configure your server with a similar configuration:

 

Example:

 

Multiple HDD:
