When designing a video surveillance system, special attention must be given to the selection of components in your future video surveillance system. The most important aspects of the system are listed below.
- Video card. In case you plan to display video directly on the video surveillance server, you should use a discrete video card. TRASSIR supports almost all up-to-date ATI Radeon and nVidia video cards. You can find recommendations on selecting video card in our knowledge base.
- Disk subsystem. The disk array for archive recording must be selected based on both the total volume of disk space and the required archive recording speed. During simultaneous recording, reading, and deleting of archives, the actual speed of an array of hard disks may differ significantly from the manufacturer's claimed maximum speed. You can read more about this in the subsection of the manual entitled Selecting the number of disks for an archive.
- Operating system - TRASSIR works with the majority of modern Microsoft Windows operating systems. A full list of the supported operating systems can be found in the subsection of the manual entitled Compatible operating systems. Note that in order for TRASSIR to work properly, several changes must be made to the operating system settings.
