A 48TB storage server does not have a fixed IP camera count, because the number it can support depends on camera resolution, bitrate, frame rate, recording settings, and retention requirements. The server supports single-sensor and multi-sensor IP cameras and provides up to 360 Mbps of recording throughput, so size the camera count around the project’s combined video bandwidth and storage needs.

Review the server’s available network bandwidth against the combined video streams from your single- and multi-sensor IP cameras, with supported throughput up to 360 Mbps. Consider a server with dual network interface cards (NICs) so surveillance traffic can use a separate network from NVR communication, and confirm that connected cameras use a compatible ONVIF conformant standard.

Dual network ports let a 48TB storage server connect to a dedicated surveillance network while using the other port for network communication. This setup helps keep camera traffic separate from the main network, which can simplify installation and support smoother recording and management.

Compare usable storage, recording throughput, supported camera types and resolutions, and video management software to match the server with the system’s camera count and retention needs. Also review network connectivity, operating system options, ONVIF support, and available storage configurations to support installation and future expansion.
