Network Optix Meta Integration
Hardware Requirements
Dual core Intel i3 equivalant or higher X86_64 CPU with at least 4GB of RAM
OS Requirements
Ubuntu Linux LTS version 18.04 or 20.04
Software Requirements
Scailable AI Manager 3.26+ [X86_64]
Nx Meta Client 5.1 [Any architecture]
Nx Meta Server 5.1 [X86_64]
Note: The recommendations below are based on the assumption that the computer being used is dedicated to the Nx Meta Server application with the default settings and one Scailable Nx Ai Plugin and is not used to run additional applications concurrently as this may impact the performance and stability of your System.
For example, a system with one camera, no saved layouts, few rules, and a single user on the minimal required hardware will work just fine. A System with multiple models, many cameras per server, dozens or hundreds of layouts, numerous rules, and hundreds of concurrently connected users would require much more substantial hardware.
If you'd like to gauge the minimum frames per second (FPS) achievable for multiple models on a device with the minimum requirements, we conducted some testing on a similar system with an i5 processor. We used 720p resolution with 6 FPS secondary camera streams, and here are some of the results.
Single stream:
- Up to to 30fps for people detection
Amount of streams for complex multiple model routing at 6FPS:
- Up to 7 streams for Intruder/object detection (6 FPS per stream)
- Up to 3 streams for Loitering detection (6 FPS per stream)
- Up to 3 streams for Left behind object detection (6 FPS per stream)
These numbers can serve as a reference point for estimating the system's performance, but keep in mind that the actual performance may vary based on specific configurations, hardware variations, and other factors.
