Network Equipment American Dynamics does not endorse one brand over another as VideoEdge is designed to work with standard Ethernet equipment. Although there is a wide range of models to choose from, it is important to choose the correct hardware to ensure sustained network bandwidth, reliability for maximum uptime, and advanced port management functions which are critical for any IP video deployment. -
Page 9: Understanding The Videoedge Nvms Network Topology
Understanding the VideoEdge NVMS Network Topology The VideoEdge NVMS is designed as a scalable solution to support the needs of various resolution, compressions, and real-time video monitoring in a distributed and centralized architectures. Careful planning and deployment will be required to ensure that the highest level of performance can be achieved based on the network infrastructure. -

It is recommended that high quality layer 3 switches are used whenever possible to ensure a more efficiently designed infrastructure where priorities for video traffic can be configured as needed along with VLAN configurations. Example of VideoEdge NVR Server Utilizing 3 GbE NICs (Client & Camera & IP SAN Storage) - Page 11 VideoEdge NVMS Design Guide Example of VideoEdge NVR Server Utilizing 2 GbE NICs (Client & Camera) and Fibre Direct Attached Storage NOTE: The network implementations in this document are shown as general representations only and are not intended to show detailed network topologies. Each VideoEdge NVMS installation site will have different configuration and equipment requirements.

For Intra/Reference Frame compression algorithms, when there is higher video activity, the resulting data rate will greatly increase and in some cases be larger than MJPEG. The VideoEdge NVR currently supports the following codec: Bandwidth... -
Page 13: Impact Of Compression
VideoEdge NVMS supports single streams for each device and unicast. This impact must be split into two parts: • Video Input: Number of streams that can be received by the VideoEdge NVR (e.g. LAN2 traffic from IP cameras and encoders) VideoEdge NVR can support as little as one video channel or as many as 128 video channels. -

As explained in earlier sections, there are many possible setting combinations that can be applied to each individual video device. As VideoEdge NVMS is designed as an open platform, it supports video devices from American Dynamics as well as from various third party vendors. As each make/model device has different characteristics, we will utilize the third party vendor’s calculators to determine the individual data... -
