Performance Issue
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:36 pmHello,
I'm using Xeoma 14.6.23 and attempting to run twenty cameras off of one server. I'm having an issue where adding more than seven cameras spikes the CPU load on each core to hit anywhere from 95 - 100% usage. Obviously the server becomes unresponsive and the camera feeds start to look distorted or crash all-together.
The server is admittedly far from the best but the performance calculator leads me to believe that it should be capable of what I'm trying to do.
(See attached image below).
The server specs are as follows:
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64-bit)
Processor: Intel® Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 V2 @ 3.10GHz × 4
Graphics: Gallium 0.4 on NVC1
Memory: 4 GiB
So far I've found two working strings for the cameras. One for h264 and the other for a standard definition - I'm not certain if it is actually using mjpeg though.
HD:
rtsp://{IP Address}:554/1/h264major
Standard:
rtsp://{IP Address}:554//0/:/main
Oddly enough these two strings take up roughly the same amount of resources and hit a seven camera limit.
The cameras that are being used claim the model of GT720TPOE but a Google search really doesn't yield a great deal of information. The web interface for the cameras shows TI-LC13 series for the product info. Here's the store page that they were bought from if you're interested.
I was wondering if anybody can point to a solution? I'm really trying to avoid a hardware upgrade since there'll be some real resistance from upper management about spending money.
Thanks.
