Yepvegas 0 Posted January 4, 2016 Currently I have a little over 250 cameras running on Milestone Corporate on a single server. We are running into some issues is anyone else running this many cameras on a single recorder or more? What settings did you change in the software that allowed you to run if you are? The server CPU is running at 20%, 2/3 of the Ram is still available and we are at 35% of the the live database raid10 can handle. My goal it to run between 300-400 cameras. Thank you in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepvegas 0 Posted January 26, 2016 Hi, i'm not able to give you product specific advice on this as i don't use milestone, but what exactly are the issues that you encounter? The system is dropping frames from time to time and it is more prevalent when an archive kicks off. We have been able to determine it is not hardware we are nowhere near what the hardware can do. I wanted to see what others are doing and if they are running as many cameras as I am or more what did they change in the XML file to get everything to play nice.

ninjaneer 0 Posted January 27, 2016 have you looked on here http://forum.milestonesys.com/yaf_postst4304_The-number-of-Maximum-Cameras-on-one-server-is.aspx i'm not sure if it's the same architecture as yours but they suggest 200 is an upper limit, they also suggest it may be wise to spread the load over a few more servers. I personally have near 300 cameras spread over 11 10TB servers - this more to spread the load and give better resilience more than anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally have near 300 cameras spread over 11 10TB servers - this more to spread the load and give better resilience more than anything Thank you for the response, I did read the thread , Milestone reps say that due to the 64bit architecture you can run as many cameras as your hardware will support. I have engineers flying in to look at our system. at 256 cameras currently averaging 8-10IPS with a combination of 1080P 720P and a handful of D1 cameras and a handful of higher MP cameras the CPU is at 20% utilization 42GB of the 64GB of available and the RAID10 using 24 10K drives we are nowhere near the limitaions of the hardware. The server has teamed 10g connectivity, I have 3 servers with the same load on them one of the servers is working fine the other two are complaining. I have failover servers so I am not worried about having all my eggs in one basket since i have extra baskets. I will post the resolution that we come up with when they come out next week. Again I wanted to know what others are doing to get a consensus of what is working for others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are your cameras centralized or do you have them spread out in different buildings? Most of my buildings are fiber connected so I am backhauling the video to a central data room, that is the reason i want more cameras on less servers.
