--- title: Edge™ Server Requirements slug: iris-plus-documentation/edgetm-server-requirements docTags: createdAt: 2022-11-15T12:28:33.000Z --- IRIS+™ Edge enables IRIS+ software deployment on a customer’s hardware to connect ONVIF / RTSP fixed IP cameras from the camera’s network to a centralized IRIS+ Core. One or multiple IRIS+ Edge Devices (IRIS+ Edge, IRIS+ Edge 10, or a mix of both) process the video stream, transforming it into Irisity’s proprietary metadata and sending it to an IRIS+ Core, which will then perform all central management and advanced analysis. **Contact Irisity's Presales at **[psteam@irisity.com](mailto\:psteam@irisity.com)** to receive a customized hardware specification matching your specific deployment needs.** # Operating system - Ubuntu 22.04, LTS 64-bit, server edition with no GUI installed  # Number of supported cameras The number of cameras supported by a given Edge device depends on the following factors:   - Hardware specifications - Video streaming profile  - Scene activity level ( see Appendix A for scene activity level examples) ### Hardware (Processor’s number of physical cores; CPU base frequency; Memory - number of DIMMs) - 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (Cascade Lake)  - 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (Ice Lake)  - 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor (Sapphire Rapids)  The selection of any alternate model should be approved by Irisity.  ### Video streaming profile - H.264 @ 720p @ 8FPS - H.264 @ 1080P @ 15 FPS  - H.264 @ 1080P @ 30 FPS   - H.265 @ 720P @ 8 FPS  - H.265 @ 1080P @ 15 FPS - H.265 @ 1080P @ 30 FPS If you use any other streaming profile, set a secondary streaming profile with one of the options above. ### Scene activity level - Low - Medium - High See Appendix A for scene activity-level examples | # Storage | | | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Storage type | solid-state drive (SSD) is/are mandatory | | Operating System & application  | 256GB  | | For IRIS+™ Essentials  | No additional storage is required | | For IRIS+™ Enterprise or IRIS+™ Analyst | For viewing investigation results, two options are available in the Camera Settings/Full frame recording field:
  
1. **Full frame recording Disabled (default)**: low-resolution image crops of the detected object are displayed in the investigation results. Video clips are not available 
2. **Full frame recording Enabled**: Internal storage is used for video recording. Video clips of investigation results are played in the IRIS+ Portal at 720p, 1 FPS. | # Other considerations - IRIS+ Edge can be deployed on a VM. The supported camera count may be reduced  - The IRIS+ Edge server should not host other non-IRIS+ applications  - Cameras connected to IRIS+ Edge must have static IP addresses  (dynamic IP allocation may result in camera disconnections)  # Networking requirements from IRIS+™ Edge to IRIS+™ Core Average Required bandwidth per camera:  - 5 kbps upload  - 0.5 kbps download  Additional upload bandwidth:  - Real-Time Event Detections: \~500 KB per event  - Live View in IRIS+ GUI: \~300 Kbps per camera  Maximum allowed latency from the IRIS+ Edge to the IRIS+ core:  - 2,000 milliseconds    # Support camera characteristics - Resolution: as listed above - Frame rate: 8 FPS is the minimal supported frame rate  - The video resolution width should be divisible by 4   - The maximum allowed aspect ratio is 4:1 # Irisity Virtual Edge The IRIS+™ Virtual Edge requires the same hardware specifications as IRIS+ Edge, however, it is applicable only for Customer-hosted deployments. The server/s of the IRIS+ Virtual Edge are installed together with the IRIS+ Core under the same Kubernetes cluster. # Appendix A: Scene Activity Level - Examples Scene activity refers to the number of objects in a frame, measured over time. Low, Medium, and High are defined in the following levels. The following screenshots and related short video clips show two examples per level: ### Low ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JzHznijrWxPLJLDUaV5A1/9dHAvDlF8RxaLDjxJK24E_image.png" size="54" width="1024" height="573" caption="Perimeter Intrusion" position="center" darkWidth="1024" darkHeight="573" showCaption="true"} [Link to video ](https://tinyurl.com/ycteneyp) ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JzHznijrWxPLJLDUaV5A1/pvSKIKPYFs13j8TdNXDkw_image.png" size="56" width="1005" height="563" caption="Gate intrusion" position="center" darkWidth="1005" darkHeight="563" showCaption="true"} [Link to video](https://tinyurl.com/y7m9qlv2) ### Medium ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JzHznijrWxPLJLDUaV5A1/bxgihiZdX4YImRP51Y2m3_image.png" size="56" width="1015" height="568" caption="Small-Mid size city traffic - scene 1 " position="center" darkWidth="1015" darkHeight="568" showCaption="true"} [Link to video](https://tinyurl.com/y8rno5eh) ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JzHznijrWxPLJLDUaV5A1/tnu_wN5Z-GEDpqalKIcjL_image.png" size="56" width="1021" height="572" caption="Small-Mid size city traffic - scene 2" position="center" darkWidth="1021" darkHeight="572" showCaption="true"} [Link to video](https://tinyurl.com/yaaawaa4) ### High ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JzHznijrWxPLJLDUaV5A1/7s-MgWF2cISQLeYX6gbuC_image.png" size="56" width="1019" height="556" caption="Highway" position="center" darkWidth="1019" darkHeight="556" showCaption="true"} [Link to video](https://tinyurl.com/y7mdmahr) ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/JzHznijrWxPLJLDUaV5A1/_o3-M3S00I4vS6-Ib1TOT_image.png" size="56" width="1017" height="548" caption="Multi-level intersectio" position="center" darkWidth="1017" darkHeight="548" showCaption="true"} [Link to video](https://tinyurl.com/yda99a2y) ## Notes - The Edge™ Device server should not host other non-IRIS+™ applications For a Specific HW Spec, please contact the presale team at [psteam@irisity.com](mailto\:psteam@irisity.com) Please supply the following minimal requirements: 1. Total number of Analytic cameras. 2. Scene activity level. 3. Camera profile - Resolution, Frame per Second, and Type of Codec (H.264/H.265). 4. Product tier and data retention time.
