we are looking at massive 1250+ cameras all hybrid with analog and ip capabilities...
network design is a prime importance...
we are having like 55+ of "Access" Switch connected via fiber with our strategically distributed "Distributor" switches across (physically) the LAN, which in turn will be connected to the "Central" Switch in the Main Equipment Room...
2 vendors are saying 1 gig (actually 2 Gig) should be enough for the Distributors to the Central, but one vendor came and said it wont be enough as you need at least 10 Gig...
anyone having this experience?
BTW, our iSCSI recorders will be connected directly on the Distributor Switches and the Cameras are direct on the Access Switches, the iSCSI are recording via the "traffic control" of our VRM Servers, quite a few of them as well...
