Model: VIGI NVR4032H  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,

Can someone clarify what PC Server and Client Hardware would be best for my project?
Here's what I was thinking would work.  

512 i5-12400 (6C/12T, 2.5GHz) 24GB+

 

Here's a bit a background for the project:
I will be installing VMS 1.8 software.
Windows 11 Pro is the OS for the clients, servers.
There will be a total of 10 client PCs located in offices throughout the building.  There are 8 floors.
I have installed new PoE GB Switches on each floor and linked them to the NVR4032H. 
I've installed CAT6 FT6 cable for all the cameras. 
I will be using multiaddress for the NIC1 & NIC2.
This Cat6 GB new network I will connect to NIC2. 
I will be connecting all 32 IP cameras to NIC2.

The building has CAT5 cable for their network.  I will connect their network to NIC1.  I need to install 8 clients on their network.
I am prepared to upgrade some of their network cable to CAT6 FT6 if I need to...
 

I am installing 32 IP Cameras.   Most cameras are ONVIF and will be installing 6 or so VIGI S455 series IP Cameras.

The NVR will be a NVR4032H V1.

 

OBJECTIVE

I need to ensure that if all 10 clients connect to the VMS software concurrently and are viewing 32 cameras they can do so without any lag
and also will be able to  search for video incidents without any lag!  

If it will help distribute the load on the network I am prepared to:
   Add another NVR4032H having 2 NVRs giving me 640 Mbps Bandwidth...and connecting 16 IP cameras each one of the NVRs.
   Have 2 Server PCs, a Server PC connected to each of the NIC cards 1 & 2 and then connect the clients on each of the networks to either Server on NIC1 or NIC2.
  
 

From what I understand if set my cameras up for 2 Mbps (1080p) and  have all 10 clients connected concurrently that will require approx 64 Mbps
give or take...for each client accessing the 32 cameras...

Questions?
When using the VMS software I assume it connects to the NVR(s) and would "pull" (upload) 64 Mbps to view all 32 Cameras (@1080P) then "boosts" the Mbps
up to distribute that "feed" out to the clients.  Is this correct?  How much more available bandwidth does the Server provide?  

Again can someone clarify what PC Server and Client Hardware would be best for this project?
Here's what I was thinking would work.  

512 i5-12400 (6C/12T, 2.5GHz) 24GB+

 

Any help is appreciated?

 

Regards,

Dave

For your setup, the current hardware configuration of your device (CPU and memory) is sufficient.The VMS software supports forwarding up to 500 concurrent streams.

Could you please provide the graphics-card details of the client PC? This is relevant for decoding performance.
