IONODES Announces Project Designer

Mon, October 10 2016

To make your life easier when designing your NVR solution, we have created the Project Designer.

What is the Project Designer?

It’s a tool to help distributors and system integrators choose the best storage solution for their customers’ specific video surveillance requirements. It’s easy to use. You can manually input the requirements for a specific project (throughput and storage capacity) or the tool can calculate them automatically, based on an extensive list of parameters: number of cameras, codec, retention time, resolution, frame rate, scene type, lighting conditions and more. You can even select different profiles for different periods of the day.

You can also select the server chassis model and quantity, HDD type and capacity, RAID configuration (including advanced RAID solution with multiple groups). One of the unique highlights is the possibility to select and personalize an independent Live Recording array in addition to a Video Archive array (concept used by Milestone VMS.

The calculation for the server’s performance is based on real-world testing in our labs and not simply manufacturer specs like most others! The configurator offers information regarding the recommended usage for each server chassis, a brief description for RAID configurations and a reminder of how many cameras are supported by a particular VMS version. There are also carefully placed buttons to reset the calculation or add/remove elements (servers or cameras). Finally the “Export to PDF” option allows the user to have a detailed report of the calculation that can easily be shared with the customer. Please try it out
