Hardware requirements¶
Cameras¶
IRIS+ Essential is designed to work with a wide range of cameras. However, for optimal performance, they must meet the following specifications:
Camera stream requirements
- Codec: h264.
- Maximum supported resolution: 1920 x 1080 px.
- Required frame rate: Between 1 and 10 FPS, depending on use case.
- Recommended bitrate: 1536 kbps.
- IP cameras
- RTSP protocol support
- H264 codec support
- varifocal (manual), horizontal field of view between 40-100 degrees
- configurable bitrate (minimum 200 kbps)
IRIS+ Essential currently runs on Nvidia Jetson NX and selected x86-64 hardware. You will find each tested model with their specifications below.
Supported hardware¶
Nvidia Jetson devices¶
| Manufacturer | Model name (with specs link) | Generation | Extension |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo | ThinkEdge SE70 | NX | + 500GB SSD |
| AAEON | BOXER-8253AI | NX | + 500GB SSD |
| ADLINK | DLAP-211-JNX | NX | + 500GB SSD |
IMPORTANT: In order to work with IRIS+ Essential, all Jetson devices must have an 500 GB SSD storage which might be built-in or can be purchased separately.
Tested x86-64 configurations¶
| CPU | GPU | Minimum Physical memory | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD EPYC 7351P, 16-Core | Nvidia RTX A4000 | 16GB RAM | At least two physical disks* |
| Intel Xeon W7-2475X, 20-Core | Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada | 64GB RAM | At least two physical disks* |
* For separate installation of system and video data.
Note that IRIS+ Essential requires specific CPU and GPU resources to function as intended, therefore installation is supported only on tested hardware, above. If you have questions about running IRIS+ Essential on specific x86-64 hardware, contact us by opening a ticket.
Video retention¶
IRIS+ Essential is able to store event data (containing the videos attached to the events) up to the point where the space allocated for it has filled up.
Jetson devices¶
On Jetson devices, each camera is pre-allocated 1/10th of all storage space: 500GB / 10 = about 50GB per camera. Once this limit is reached, the oldest videos will be deleted to free up space for new events. This is done so that storage space gets allocated equally among all cameras.
Video retention time is about 72 hours worth of footage for a single camera on Jetson devices, if the camera is set to the recommended 1,5Mbps bitrate. Otherwise, the lower the bitrate, the more data can be stored.
x86-64 servers¶
On x86-64 devices, each camera is pre-allocated 1/50th of all storage space. Video retention time is variable, depending on video bitrate and how much storage space is allocated to the system.
