Abstract
Systems and methods for efficiently configuring network surveillance systems are disclosed. A network surveillance system is designed by selecting a first component for the network surveillance system. The surveillance performance index for the first component is determined. A second component for the network surveillance system is then selected based on the surveillance performance index of the first component.
Claims20
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.

A system for designing a network surveillance system comprising:
- an information handling system;
- a user interface provided by the information handling system;
- wherein
- the information handling system receives a camera configuration from the user interface;
- the information handling system selects an appropriate server to be included in the network surveillance system using the camera configuration
- the appropriate server is selected based, at least in part, on a surveillance performance index of the camera configuration;
- the surveillance performance index of the camera configuration comprises a data load capability of the camera configuration;
- and
- the server is not connected to the network surveillance system when it is selected.

A method of designing a network surveillance system comprising:
- receiving a selection of a first component for the network surveillance system 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 first component, wherein the surveillance performance index for the first component comprises at least one of a data load capability and a data processing capability of the first component;
- and
- selecting a second component to be included in the network surveillance system based on the surveillance performance index of the first component, wherein the second component is not connected to the network surveillance system when it is selected.
