Canon VB-M640VE Network Video Recording Software RM Series Administrator Manua - Page 19

For standard resolution ([Video Quality] set to [3]), the JPEG video frame rates will result in an estimated data rate of 80 Mbps. Audio data requires a Storage Server of 64 Kbps, regardless of the type of camera. You can check the recording/playback data volume per second during operation on the [Storage Server] tab in RM Manager (p. 52). *2 The data size of recorded audio is calculated using a frame rate of 10 fps per camera. *3 Number of cameras selected in [Detect Motion Using] > [Storage Server] for motion detection recording. *4 Total number of all types of events. *5 Assumes a standard resolution ([Video Quality] setting is [3]) and that the receive size and display size are the same. If the receive size and display size are different, performance may decrease due to an increase in processing load. *6 When multiple video sizes are combined, they will be equivalent to the following: 1920 x 1080 will be equivalent to 14 320 x 240 size videos, 1280 x 720 will be equivalent to 8 320 x 240 size videos, 1280 x 960 will be equivalent to 8 320 x 240 size videos, 960 x 540 will be equivalent to 7 320 x 240 size videos, 640 x 360 will be equivalent to 5 320 x 240 size videos, 640 x 480 will be equivalent to 5 320 x 240 size videos, 480 x 270 will be equivalent to 2 320 x 240 size videos, 320 x 180 will be equivalent to 1 320 x 240 size videos. Before Use 1 For example, the following combinations will result in a total equivalent of 320 x 240 at 320 fps. 1920 x 1080, 5 fps  320 x 240, 5 fps x 14 = 70 fps equivalent 1280 x 960, 5 fps  320 x 240, 5 fps x 8 = 40 fps equivalent 960 x 540, 8 fps  320 x 240, 8 fps x 7 = 56 fps equivalent 640 x 480, 8 fps  320 x 240, 8 fps x 5 = 40 fps equivalent 480 x 270, 25 fps  320 x 240, 25 fps x 2 = 50 fps equivalent 320 x 240, 64 fps Total: 320 x 240, 320 fps equivalent (70 + 40 + 56 + 40 + 50 + 64) *7 The number of videos you can display at once depends on the amount of memory available. If there is not enough memory, you will not be able to display videos. • In a system environment with a large number of cameras and connected viewers and where the number of events that may occur is also likely to be high, the Storage Server must come with the specifications that meet the needs of that environment for stable operation. • If you need to operate a high-reliability system (such as for 24hour operation) in a system environment, we recommend that you use a server operating system on the computer that is used for the Storage Server. • When high-reliability operation is required (such as for 24-hour operation, and high frequency disk access) we strongly recommend that you use a high-reliability SAS hard disk. Using a low-reliability SATA hard disk may result in a disk error in a one to two year period. Therefore, you may need to check the disk for errors on a regular basis, using features such as scan disk. In such a case, recording performance may suffer during checking, due to the increased load on the disk. • To help ensure stable operation, we recommend that you use separate computers for the Storage Server and for the Viewer. • Do not use RM Manager and the Viewer simultaneously. Important Notes Concerning System Requirements • The drive you install the software on and the drive for saving recorded video must be in NTFS format. • This software does not support external storage, such as USB hard disks and NAS. • It is recommended that you operate this software in its own dedicated LAN environment. • The software may not be able to record video if you use an environment where the IP addresses of the cameras change. Please use fixed IP addresses to ensure proper operation. • Use the same network address (either IPv4 or IPv6) for cameras, Storage Server computers, and the Viewer computer. • For details on the operating system, please refer to "Additional Considerations" in "Operating Environment" (p. 20). • C50F C50i Audio cannot be transmitted from a Viewer to the camera, if you use the Viewer on a computer running Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. • Before applying a service pack or updating the operating system, please refer to the Canon Web site. • Do not use Windows Update while the system is in operation. Doing so may cause the system operation to become unstable, the operating system to restart, or the recording to stop. • Using anti-virus software or a firewall may affect the performance of the Storage Server and Viewer. • Running software other than this product or compatible camera management software may cause system operation to become unstable. 19
