WAVE: Best practices for using NVR with WAVE

  • Updated

Applies to: WAVE

Summary

Wisenet WAVE operates on a server-client (or server-hive client) architecture, which requires server functionality for the system to work. When integrating an embedded NVR, the architectural framework remains the same. The NVR must be registered as a device on the WAVE server, and client machines can only connect to the server to receive video streams; direct connections to the NVR are not supported. This article outlines best practices for using an NVR with Wisenet WAVE.

 

Best Practices

It is recommended to have a dedicated computer to run a WAVE Server application. Because WAVE is such a light software, users may be tempted to install both the WAVE Server and WAVE Client on the same computer to run the system; however, this is not recommended. If multiple clients are connecting to the system to view NVR streams, the computer with the WAVE Server installed needs to be running all the time. If the computer with the WAVE Server is shut down for any reason, no one will be able to access the system.

The following are the recommended server specifications when using an NVR:

  • Follow WAVE server specifications

  • Use at least an Intel i3 (9th Generation) or similar/better server
NOTE: The required server specifications will vary depending on the 
number of cameras, resolution of the camera streams, the number of 
connected clients, as well as the number of servers in the system.
