Abstract:
1. A method of designing a network surveillance system, comprising: receiving a camera configuration selection at a user interface, wherein the user interface is provided by an information handling system; determining at a processor of the information handling system a surveillance performance index for the camera configuration, wherein the surveillance performance index for the camera configuration comprises a data load capability of the camera configuration; receiving a server selection at the user interface; determining at the processor a surveillance performance index for the selected server, wherein the surveillance performance index for the selected server comprises a data processing capability of the selected server; comparing the surveillance performance index of the camera configuration with the surveillance performance index of the selected server; and identifying the selected server to be included in the network surveillance system if the surveillance performance index of the server is equal to or exceeds the surveillance performance index of the camera configuration, wherein the selected server is not connected to the network surveillance system when it is identified.
