How to choose a server for video surveillance

How many cameras can the server support?

Calculated by total bitrate and analytics. Receiving and recording 32 cameras at 4 MP in H.265 is about 70–90 Mbps; an entry-level processor can handle this. The bottleneck is disks and video analytics: face or license plate recognition on 16+ streams requires a GPU or a powerful CPU. There is a calculator on the page above — enter your camera specs.

Which drives are best for video archives?

Specialized HDDs for video surveillance (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) with 8–12 TB capacity: these are designed for 24/7 continuous recording. RAID5/6 will protect your archive from disk failure. SSDs in a video server are only needed for the OS and VMS database—writing streams to SSD is not cost-effective.

What is more important: the processor or the drive bay?

For pure recording — use a chassis: get a case for 8–12 3.5″ drives with expansion capability; a Xeon E/Bronze level processor is sufficient. If you plan to use analytics (motion, faces, license plates, hard hats) — include extra CPU headroom or a GPU slot immediately: buying a new server in a year is more expensive.

Which server is suitable for a 30-day archive?

The formula is simple: camera bitrate × 0.45 TB per Mbps per month. 64 cameras at 4 MP require approximately 45 TB for 30 days, which means 7–8 drives of 8 TB each, accounting for RAID and redundancy. Our calculator above or our engineer can provide an exact calculation for your specific cameras.

FAQ — Video surveillance server

Which server is needed for 16 surveillance cameras?

Single-processor server with 4–6 cores, 16 GB of memory, and two or three 8 TB drives: for example, Dell PowerEdge T150 or HPE MicroServer. Capable of handling a monthly archive; price in Kazakhstan — from 500,000–700,000 tenge.

Which server is needed for 64 cameras?

2U platform with 8+ × 3.5″ drive bays, from 8 cores and 32 GB of RAM — Dell R550/R750xs or HPE DL380. GPU can be added for analytics. This server supports 64 × 4 MP cameras with a 30-day archive without performance degradation.

Can a standard PC replace a video surveillance server?

For 4–8 cameras, yes, but without RAID, hot-swappable drives, and redundant power, any failure means loss of the archive. A server doesn't cost much more and records for years without maintenance—that's why sites with 16+ cameras are built only on server-grade hardware.

Video surveillance server with analytics — what changes?

Analytics (faces, license plates, hard hats, zones) are processed on CPU or GPU over the recording. For 16–32 analytics channels, use 12+ cores or an RTX/L4-level GPU — we have GPU servers available and can select the right one for your VMS: Macroscop, Trassir, Axxon, Milestone.

How much does a video surveillance server cost in Kazakhstan?

From 500,000 ₸ for a 16-camera platform to 2.5–4 million ₸ for a server supporting 100+ cameras with a large archive. Price depends mainly on the disks — send us the number of cameras and archive depth, and we will calculate the configuration for free.
