Notes on Storage Server Operation
It is recommended to use the Storage Server exclusively for the VK-64/VK-16.
Be sure to avoid the following forms of operation.
Using the Storage Server with a Web Server
As Storage Server, you cannot use a PC where Web server software such as Windows
standard IIS (Internet Information Server) or Apache has been already installed.
Since the Storage Server uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with the Camera
Server, therefore it may not work properly if other Web applications exist on the same
platform.
The HTTP port number used by the VK-64/VK-16 shoud be fixed to “80”.
Using the Storage Server with a Database Server (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle)
If the hard disk is heavily loaded in database processing, recording may not work
normally. Conversely, the database server may be affected by the VK-64/VK-16 when it
need hard disk performance to complete its task.
Using the Storage Server with a File Server
Accesses to the hard disk may be too frequent and recording may not work normally.
Also, the disk capacity for the VK-64/VK-16 may run short.
Using the Storage Server with other applications
The processing load of other applications may have a negative effect on the storage
performance.
Notes on Viewer Sizing
Consider the following points when selecting the PC for viewer (installed).
Live-video viewing and recorded vidoe playback performance of the VK-64/VK-16
largely depends on the CPU and graphics board performance on the PC. The CPU
performance affects image capturing and video data generation, and the graphics board
performance affects image drawing.
Refer to the following example when selecting the PC for the viewer installed.
In this example, the OS is Windows XP Professional.
1) CPU: Pentium4 3.0GHz, memory: 1GB, graphics board: Quadro FX570
