64CH/720p IP Camera Surveillance Solution
Description
Feature Requirements:
64ch/720p IP cameras live view
64ch/720p IP cameras recording data centralized archiving
Simultaneous 16ch/720p video decoding and output to public view
Real-time response to alert and event from on-site device
Centralized management of entire surveillance system
System Planning:
Allocate 3 switches based on 100Mbps and 1 switch based on 1000Mbps for 64 IP cameras. 64 IP
cameras in groups connected to three 100M switches through 100M Ethernet ports; while three 100M
switches connect to one 1000M switch through 1000M Ethernet ports. All servers for CMS connect to
one 1000M switch through 1000M Ethernet network adapters.
Required Unisight components: Data Center, Advanced Unit, Gateway, Digital Matrix, NVR, Client.
Data Center: Provide data service and management based on a robust and versatile advanced database
as a primary core component for the entire system
Advanced Unit: Provide global time synchronization service for all on-site servers
Gateway: Proxy to transmit command and video stream for bandwidth management (preventing an
overload)
Digital Matrix: Decoding compression video stream to output to public view for display
NVR: Archive recording data through network, which optionally connects to SAN/NAS/RAID
Alert-monitoring Client: Respond to alert, alarm and event from on-site server, and review status info and
define various response modes
Video-monitoring Client: Provide remote video live view, playback and parameters setup for IP cameras

Interpretation:
1. Gateway Server utilizes three 1000Mbps Ethernet network adapters, which are individually distributed
into 3 different subnets: Adapter 1 and NVR Server in the same subnet; Adapter 2 and IP camera in the
same subnet; Adapter 3 and Datacenter/Time Sync Server/Clients in the same subnet
2. Data Center and Time Sync (Advanced Unit) server should run on the same physical server
3. Real-time monitoring and managing of IP cameras
4. Respond to and process alerts and events from on-site devices
5. TV video input directly connect to VGA/DVI interface of Digital Matrix Server
6. 100M switch must connect to 1000M switch through 1000M Ethernet port
Hardware Configuration
Data Center and Advanced Unit (Time Sync) are recommended to be installed and run on the same physical
server. Gateway, Digital Matrix, NVR, Alert-monitoring and Video-monitoring Client should be installed and run
on different physical servers. Since the limitation of network bandwidth, in principle the number of network
connections between on-site devices and CMS Client or Matrix server cannot be more than 64. Gateway
Server needs to be setup on 3 network adapters based on 1000Mbps to distribute all data stream and control
network bandwidth.

*Video Network Bandwidth Calculation
100M Ethernet network flux expressed in 8Mbytes/s, and 1000M Ethernet network in 24Mbytes/s. Single channel of video bandwidth calculation below offered just as reference only. Actual bandwidth usage will be determined by stream settings (framerate/compression) and video complexity (how much motion/how many colors).
