thewireguys 3 Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) I would like to see how Atom would handle live view of 2mpix H264 camera Which NVR software? ExacqVision I have a Atom 330 server with 2 1.3MP Areconts (h.264)and 1 AV8185 Arecont(4 2MP h.264 streams) works great.. Look at theExacqvisions EL box, 16 analog cameras and up to 24MP cameras on a Atom based system. Arecont cameras use less processing power with h.264 then MJPEG. The Atom works great for low cost low camera count MP setups if you upgrade to a dual core you could do up to 64 IP cameras on one box. Sounds unreal Then I should scrap my loved Luxriot I tried Exacq once, but it was complicated to install and support wasnt great, so never tried again. Exacq is very easy to install and upgrade now and it is more efficient then Luxriot. And I agree with Hardwired the your limiting factor with Exacq is bandwidth and read/write not the processor or memory. The hard limit for IP camera count on a COT server with Exacq is 255 cameras butExacq limits their servers to 64. The way I like to use Exacq with a Atom board is as a small server and the customers use there other computers for the client machines. This way it saves them on some equipment cost and space but I have no problem using a Atom for a client in small camera counts. And like I said before is for a little more money you can get a dual core and have a client/server that can run 64 cameras that will fit in your hand.

thewireguys 3 Posted March 14, 2010 But I think he was only doing the Atom system as a test anyway, not for production. Exaqt is doing it but with linux on an SSD, and it seems to only be a server, no live video like we are used to in the CCTV industry. I have Atom Exacq servers/clients in the field working perfectly. Yes you are correct with the EL box you should use it as a server but you can live view on the client software and web browser with other machines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted March 14, 2010 Some customer wants to record and monitor approx 25-26 2megapixel (h.264) cameras but i just cant esteem the parameters of the pc that can handle this... Ok, lets say we need a dual or quad core xeon (well another question is that can the software support more than one core? Hell knows...) and maybe i can reduce the fps to 12 or to 6 in the worst scenario... but then again... is there any server pc config that can handle 25piece of 2mpixel h.264 stream? And what video card can render this? Another thing is the switch. Thats ok that it should have a gigabit port and the maximum broadband the cameras will take is 'only' 60-70mbit (max. 2-3mbit/cam)... but im not sure that every cheap gigabit switch is able to manage the constant traffic of the 26 2mpixel cameras... Thank You very much in advance for your help/hint! Best regards. Exacq will do this without a problem but it is not compatible with your IP cameras..... I don't know any NVR software that will work with the cameras you selected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
