AXIS Camera Station User's Manual
For optimal software performance, use these PC setup conditions:
•
When more than 16 cameras are enabled, use dual processors and/or hard
disk controllers like RAID, for optimal performance.
•
SCSI disks perform better than IDE disks, since no PC processor power is
used to control the disks and the access time is shorter than IDE. Hard disks
should be minimum 7,200 RPMs.
•
Better performance can be obtained using cameras with built-in motion
detection or external alarm detectors like PIR's etc.
•
Windows XP is the recommended OS for optimal performance.
•
For optimal network performance, 100 Mbit switches should be used. Hubs
can be used for installation using less than 6-8 cameras. There are no
known limitations on networks when switches are used. If this software is
installed in an existing network with high traffic, consider using a
dedicated switch and add a second network adapter to the PC.
•
As preventative maintenance, it is recommended that you regularly check
that cameras, recordings, triggered events, motion detection, etc. are
functioning properly.
•
It is recommended to install a UPS to secure camera operation in case of
power failure.
It is recommended that you run disk defragmentation of your hard drives on a
regular basis to improve system performance. See your Windows
documentation for instructions.
