Security Center System Requirements System requirements for KiwiVision in Security Center 5.12 To ensure that your KiwiVision ™ system performs as expected, the following hardware and software components are required. Due to typically high-performance requirements, using virtual machines is not recommended. Security video analytics and People Counter modules Before activating KiwiVision ™ Security video analytics, make sure that your system can handle the additional load. Running video analytics with insufficient resources can negatively impact performance or can cause system failure. Your system should meet the following requirements: • The KiwiVision plugin must be installed on a server and on client workstations that run a 64-bit operating system, and meet the recommended hardware and software specifications. See Security Center 5.12 server requirements on page 6 and Security Center 5.12 software requirements on page 18 for more information. NOTE: A 32-bit operating system is sufficient for client workstations that only run Security Desk. • Every server running a KiwiVision Manager, KiwiVision Analyzer, or Config Tool with which you want to configure analytics requires an AVX compatible processor. NOTE: An AVX compatible processor is not required for workstations that only run Security Desk. Privacy Protector module NOTE: Do not host Privacy Protector ™ on the same server as an Archiver. The Privacy Protector role can use significant processing power. When CPU usage on the Archiver server is high, Archiving queue full situations can occur and data can be lost. For the best performance, use NVIDIA ® Quadro ® video cards. Alternatively, you can also use an Intel ® CPU (Quick Sync chip set) that supports Intel ® Quick Sync Video. Requirement calculators • For all KiwiVision modules: Use the KiwiVision ™ Hardware Calculator to help you calculate the number of machines required for your KiwiVision deployment. The calculator accounts your intended number of cameras and types of analytics. • For KiwiVision: Use the KiwiVision ™ Camera Requirements Calculator to help you with the following: • To determine how many cameras you need to cover the area you want to monitor, calculate the maximum distance from which cameras can detect objects. • To meet the camera requirements for your KiwiVision deployment, verify whether your existing camera setup needs to be modified. GPU support on the KiwiVision Analyzer role This section lists GPU support considerations for the KiwiVision ™ Analyzer role in Security Center 5.12. Note the following considerations: • Running people counting analytics on a GPU helps reduce CPU usage. • GPU support is only available for the Tailgating detection and People counting scenarios. • GPU support is enabled on KiwiVision Analyzer roles by default, but a warning is displayed until the GPU Pack is installed. • A video card (Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, or Ampere) with one of the following CUDA compute capabilities is required: 5.0, 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, 6.2, 7.0, 7.2, 7.5, 8.0, 8.6. • The latest official graphics card driver from Nvidia must be installed. techdocs.genetec.com | Security Center System Requirements Guide 5.12 EN.500.100-V5.12.0.0(4) | Last updated: February 6, 2024 14
