Playback Client
Automatic Network Replenishment ANR
A VRM server can perform maximum 3 ANR jobs
simultaneously. If you configure multiple ANR jobs for 1
device (for example with 4 channels), these jobs are
performed one after the other. This avoids overload of the
device. The number of ANR jobs cannot be increased by a
secondary VRM server. The maximum performance is 24-
times of replay, the actual performance may be limited by
the capabilities of the encoder/camera.
ANR is only effective for data within the minimum
retention time of the system. Recording gaps outside the
minimum retention time will not be considered.
Backup of data through VRM
A VRM server can execute maximum 5 backup jobs in
parallel. The number of backup jobs cannot be increased
by a secondary VRM server. The maximum performance is
24-times of replay, this must be considered for bandwidth
estimation of the iSCSI targets.
Licensing
Existing VRM 2.0 licenses can be used for VRM 2.10.

Note Up to 2048 cameras are supported within a
single VRM environment. When planning for
larger environments it is strongly
recommended to use large sized disk arrays
instead of a large number of small disk arrays
(vertical scaling instead of horizontal scaling).
