Ubiquiti NVR Performance Improvement
-
Which settings specifically? I know reducing some of the video settings will lessen the performance impact.
-
For all the vm's everything else is running pretty smoothly. This is the first time at any point I've felt a IOPS issue. Which is good
We are tiny so we only have about 25 VM's running. -
I have done a 60 camera system at a huge hog farm with Ubiquiti. It is always the IOPS. I just broke mine up between 3 servers. Not the prettiest thing to do but that is what I had to do. Ran each with four 2TB drives in a RAID 10

Does the client have to log in to 3 different servers to switch between the cameras?

Our NVR is on AWS S3 as the storage so no problem there.

How would you be able to sustain it on AWS?

In what way do you mean?
-
@scottalanmiller if the nvr is in the cloud, that's gotta be a lot of data going over WAN.

Is a VM in AWS, that's why. Data is not going over WAN is in the same zone.

With that in mind, if adding additional drives will add to the read/write performance, then I should be able to just add additional sas drives. I only have 8 bays for storage. 4 are being used.

The video feeds are going up your WAN pipe to the NVR though. how much bandwidth does that take? And what kind of ingust charges are you getting from AWS for it?

Injest is not a problem, outgoing is always what costs in AWS.

@mike-davis Yes, but they are all tied to their ubiquiti account so if they go to video.ubnt.com it isn't too bad. Howerver, the farm is broken up into different sections, 3 primary sections, so it works pretty well for them.
-
@krisleslie - I have not setup the software recently but last time I did about 6 months ago it did not run very well on Windows. After moving the install to Ubuntu it ran much better.

Yeah, but AWS has massive pipes, way more than your LAN. Your WAN might not be able to handle it, but AWS sure can.

@dbeato so to make sure I understand you, you have your NVR installed as a vm on AWS and you use your main WAN to continuously upload to AWS storage correct?

And it has additional Drives for Storage and then Archiving to S3.

@dbeato so let me ask a stupid question, how is this hurting your WAN? Or, is this on a separate WAN away from the other part of your network? Keep in mind I'm not a network + guy at all.
