The recommendations presented by "Digifort Design Tool" are results of complex mathematical calculations based on performance testing (Benchmark) of different computers. The tool will include a large safety margin in the calculation of server and client processors, so that the final use of the processor lies between 40% and 60%, and will also include a margin of 20% in the calculation of required storage per server. Check on the left-hand side menus, important considerations about different parts of the solution.

During the development of "Digifort Design Tool" and performance tests, we found that the memory speed and configuration (Single / Dual / Triple) influences the process of decoding video and system management.Using Dual or Triple channel configuration will increase system performance, allowing a greater number of cameras or frames per second that the system supports.In the results presented by "Digifort Design Tool" the recommendation will include the memory speed, size and configuration (Single / Dual / Triple) of memories and this item should be strictly followed because the recommendations presented are results of performance testing (benchmark) on computers using the recommended memory configuration. If the system recommends a setting of memory and this recommendation is not followed, the advised computer might not be enough to fulfill your project requirements.

The storage may have a negative impact on the solution, if the chosen storage does not have the appropriate write performance for the solution.Verion 6.5 of Digifort has been improved to use less storage resources (IOPS), enabling use of low-performance storage arrays, however, Digifort recommends ONLY the use of: DAS and SAN DAS - Direct-attached storage This is a type of storage connected directly to the server. This typs of storage provides the best performance for the solutionSAN - Storage Area Network This ia a type of network-level storage that provides block access. To use this type of storage, it is necessary to use Fibre Channel in order to increase the performance of the solution. WARNING! Digifort DOES NOT recommend the use of NAS (Network Attached Storage). The use of NAS with Digifort solution may compromise the platform performance and stability, especially in high-demand installations.

Bitrate calculation is based on real data, collected from cameras found in the market. Be aware that bitrate values may vary significantly among vendors even using the same params like scene, resolution, FPS, compression and quality. Being bitrate the most important value of this form, you should verify this information with your hardware vendor. By using unreal bitrate values, the resulting calculation may be severely compromised.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The "Digifort Design Tool" is provided to be used only as a guide. The estimates and recommendations produced by the use of the software are based on the results of limited performance tests (benchmarks) of limited number of scenarios and results of Digiforts benchmark tool. The user of "Digifort Design Tool" (here referred to as "User") acknowledges and agrees that any installation of a camera system is unique and that the results measured in the User´s system will differ from estimates provided by the "Digifort Design Tool" because the tool uses extrapolated results of performance tests, based on complex mathematical formulas to provide an approximate result of the reality, however, the User agrees and acknowledges that different pieces of hardware (here represented by components of server and client computers, and cameras from different manufacturers) can significantly influence the final results, differentiating from the solution presented by the tool, although the tool applies a large safety margin in its calculations. The estimates produced by this tool are provided under the condition that the User will make its own determination, adjusting it for its own purposes. The Digifort and/or its representatives shall not be liable, under any circumstances for damages of any nature resulting from use of or reliance on the results produced by the "Digifort Design Tool"

DISCLAIMER: The software is delivered free of charge and 'as is' without warranty of any kind. The entire risk as to the results and performance of the software is assumed by you/the user. Digifort disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, or any warranty arising out of any proposal, specification or sample with respect to the software. Digifort and/or its licensor(s) shall not be liable for loss of data, loss of production, loss of profit, loss of use, loss of contracts or for any other consequential, economic or indirect loss whatsoever in respect of delivery, use or disposition of the software.

ATTENTION

Our calculator is undergoing maintenance. If you want to calculate projects with H.265 cameras, just do the calculation with H.264 compression and divide the result of the link and storage by two.

We remember that, in general, H.265 consumes half the amount of storage and links compared to H.264.
