System Requirements

System-Requirements

The Cathexis CatVision software architecture is designed to utilise the various hardware system components with maximum efficiency.

When choosing hardware for your solutions there are many system issues to be taken into consideration. Some examples are:

  • Camera resolution
  • Camera bitrates for recording
  • Camera Frame rates and resolution for “live” viewing
  • Whether you are using the I.P camera or the Cathexis software to perform Video analytics.
  • Whether you are viewing cameras “live” form the same server on which you are recording
  • Whether you are streaming “multicast” video streams from the camera
  • Storage methodology (on-board, Network Storage etc.)

Below are some guidelines which will assist you in choosing the hardware for your application. If you would like assistance with your design, contact your distributor, a Cathexis regional office or complete the System Design Form and submit it to Cathexis and we will assist you.
