Genetec Mobile System Requirements Security Center 5.12 streaming capacities for Genetec Mobile The number of video streams and amount of traffic that Security Center 5.12 can deliver vary depending on the camera stream settings, the Mobile Server role settings, and the performance of the server that hosts the Media Gateway and Mobile Server roles. The Media Gateway role is used by Genetec ™ Mobile, Security Center Web Client, and Genetec ™ Web App to get transcoded video from Security Center. The Media Gateway role supports the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), which external applications can use to request raw video streams from Security Center. The stream settings are configured in Config Tool. For more information, see the followings topics in the Security Center Administrator Guide: • "Configuring Mobile Server roles" You can configure different video settings for Wi-Fi and cellular connections. Mobile Server always uses the Wi-Fi connection when it is available. You can find these settings in Config Tool under Mobile Server > Properties > Video > Video settings. • "Configuring video streams of cameras" The Mobile Server sends the video stream that most closely matches the stream requested by the Genetec ™ Mobile app. This minimizes the transcoding work done by the Media Gateway. The maximum number of streams supported for the Genetec Mobile app depends on what the Media Gateway supports. The stream format and video quality settings of the cameras also affect the supported number of streams. For more information, see Maximum number of Media Gateway camera streams on page 12. The following sets of test results show the impact on the streaming capacity of transcoding to MJPEG. The results show the maximum number of video MJPEG streams, without diminished performance, for each server type and various streaming scenarios. In each scenario, the server hosts the Mobile Server and the Media Gateway roles, and the CPU usage is maintained between 75% to 80%. MJPEG streaming capacities on a recommended server The following tests were conducted on a server with an Intel Xeon E5-1620 v3 Quad-Core Processor at 3.50 GHz with 16 GB RAM, running Windows 10 64-bit Enterprise Edition.
