The tested system delivered unprecedented performance with video motion detection and metadata enabled. Certified to support 300 cameras at 1080P and 25fps with server-side video motion detection with metadata collection while ensuring CPU, RAM and network utilization are always below 70% in accordance with Milestone best practices.
The Arxys Shield | Key is a top performing, hardware accelerated Milestone Certified NVR that delivers breakthrough video motion detection and video analytics performance at no extra cost.
Certified Products
- Shield | Key NVR R12 (Network Video Recorders) all-in-one appliances
- Shield | Key NVR R36 (Network Video Recorders) all-in-one appliances
- (The R12 and R36 tested share the same main components, the only difference is the number of drive bays)
- Milestone XProtect Corporate 2018 R3
Performance of the solution may vary if different XProtect products and/or system components not listed in the tests details are included.
Test Setup
Two dedicated video load servers running Windows Server 2016 were utilized. A single Arxys Shield | Key rackmount system with the following configuration:
- Intel Core i5-8600 CPU 8thGen 3.10 Ghz
- 32GB DRAM
- 2x 1Gb/s ethernet ports, full duplex
- 12x Western Digital Ultrastar Enterprise HDDs, 8TB, 7200RPM, SATA 6Gb/s 256MB cache
- Hardware RAID 6 (double parity)
- Microsoft Windows 64 Bit
All simulated video streams used in this test were configured at 25 or 30 frames per second (FPS). Video streams were configured to use primarily the H.264 video codec with a few at H.265. All tests were performed with 24/7 continuous recording. Majority of tests were performed with video motion detection and metadata enabled to stress the system and the GPU.
