Notes
Typical OBSERVE™ Client builds are listed above. Other builds and specifications are available on request.
All OBSERVE™ Client options listed are optimised by VMS Co. for VMS and AI Analytics applications.
Up to seven OBSERVE™ Client CFF Modules can be fitted into one Hypershelf.
Concurrent D1 Streams and Monitors
Each Client has a maximum number of monitor connections and recommended maximum number of concurrent D1 streams quoted. The concurrent D1 streams is a budget quantity. They may be allocated across all, some or single quoted monitors, depending on the viewing requirements of the system. In heavy use cases, where many camera channels are being processed and viewed, it is the concurrent D1 stream quantities that determine the specification and performance of the Client, rather than the number of monitor channels.
Please contact VMS Co. for more information.
