Notes on Storage Server Deployment
It is recommended to use the Storage Server exclusively for the VK-64/VK-16.
Be sure to avoid the following forms of deployment.
Using the Storage Server with a Web Server
You cannot use the Storage Server on a PC where Web server software such as
Windows standard IIS (Internet Information Server) or Apache is already installed.
Since the Storage Server uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with the Camera
Server, it will not operate if other Web applications exist on the same platform.
The HTTP port number used by the VK-64/VK-16 is fixed to “80”.
Using the Storage Server with a Database Server (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle)
If the hard disk is heavily loaded (e.g., executing a distributed database application
which transfers several-hundred GB of data between databases), recording may be
interrupted. Conversely, the database server may be affected by the VK-64/VK-16 when
it tries to a demanding task.
Using the Storage Server with a File Server
Accesses to the hard disk may be too frequent and recording may be interrupted. Also,
the disk capacity for the VK-64/VK-16 may run short.
Notes on Viewer Sizing
Consider the following when selecting the PC where the Viewer should be installed.
Live viewing and recording performance of the VK-64/VK-16 largely depends on the
CPU and graphics board performance of the PC. The CPU performance affects image
capturing and video data generation, while the graphics board performance affects
image drawing.
