120 camera Avigilon network config/layout

Recommended Posts

Hi im about to take on a installation that has around 120 cameras & im after some realistic advice in terms of the camera network ect

 

 

system is all Avigilon & will consist of

 

 

x2 Avigilon 36TB standard NVRs with ACC6 enterprise, no fail-over at this site

 

x3 2 monitor workstations

 

x43 2mp H4A

 

x7 5mp H4A

 

x22 2mp H4 PTZs

 

x10 12mp 360

 

x32 2mp H4 SL

 

x1 16mp Pro

 

 

Site will have network switches located around the site, connected back to the server room via fibre. movement profile on 80% of cameras will be in the low detail, low motion profile

 

 

ive done 50-60 camera installs in the past without a problem but the size of this i thought it would be best to ask before making a bad choice

 

 

HDSM SmartCodec option in the compression settings will be set at medium for 90% of cameras

 

 

im thinking ill split the cameras between both NVRs keeping camera bandwidth in mind, so my question is should i just keep them all in the same IP address range ie: 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.120 & have the 2 NVRs with 3 of the 4 NICs per NVR connected to the one switch in the camera server room? or should i be isolating the

cameras onto different networks/switches? The camera network will be completely isolated to the client network

 

 

ive undertaken the tutorial in the partner resource center "NVR-3-Standard and NVR-Premium best practices for 1 and 10GbE networks"

 

 

so im a bit confused after the tutorial

 

 

Cheers Andrew

NVR A Nic1 and NVR B Nic1 connected to Camera subnet 1 192.168.10 range

NVR A Nic2 and NVR B Nic2 connected to Camera subnet 2 192.168.20 range

NVR A Nic3 and NVR B Nic3 connected to Camera subnet 3 192.168.30 range

 

NVR A Nic4 connected to the Client network (client range)

 

 

or

 

 

NVR A Nic1 connected to Camera subnet 1 192.168.10 range

NVR A Nic2 connected to Camera subnet 2 192.168.20 range

NVR A Nic3 connected to Camera subnet 3 192.168.30 range

 

NVR A Nic4 connected to the Client network (client range)

 

 

NVR B Nic1 connected to Camera subnet 1 192.168.40 range

NVR B Nic2 connected to Camera subnet 2 192.168.50 range

NVR B Nic3 connected to Camera subnet 3 192.168.60 range

 

NVR B Nic4 connected to the Client network (client range)
