The Wisenet
SKY Product Wizard was designed to help determine
which Bridge/CMVR and switches are needed based the type and quantity of
cameras.

Navigation
|
| |
Click "Next" at top or bottom of page to move forward and
backward through the Wizard.
|
| |
Select Bridges & CMVRs
|
| |
Narrow the results to specific
Bridges and CMVRs by checking each one row by row. Click "Next" to
move to the Produt Wizard Results. It is possible to select All possibilities
on the Results page even without selecting individual Bridges or CMVRs.
|
| |
Product Wizard Results
|
| |
The results are very accurate
if all the information about each camera group is fully entered. Additional
Features & Options can be selected. The Local Display via Monitor feature
uses additional resources. This is represented in the Product Wizard as
"Local Display HDMI".
|
| |
A "reset" button is
available to reset the wizard to default.
|
| |
Camera Groups
|
| |
There are 4 groups of cameras
in order to use multiple types, each with different settings. This will
provide a more accurate recommendation. Set each group. Leave a group at 0
(zero) for Camera Quantity to remove it from the estimate.
|
| |
Camera Types
|
| |
·
IP ONVIF - the main
setting for supported IP Cameras which is dual stream: Preview=MJPEG and
Full=h.264
|
| |
·
IP (Single Stream) -
Cameras that cannot provide dual stream can be manually set to single stream.
This requires 3x the resources because the preview video has to be created
from the h.264 full video stream.
|
| |
·
IP Dual h.264 - These
cameras require "dual-h264" - they cannot provide the second stream
of MJPEG at the required frame rate. This requires approximately 30% more
resources because the preview video has to be created from a second low
resolution h.264 full video stream.
|
| |
Camera Resolution (MegaPixels)
|
| |
Set this to the total
Megapixels of a camera. Megapixels = width * height in pixels. For best
accuracy, enter decimal numbers. For example, 1920x1080= 2.1 MP
|
| |
1MP = 1
|
| |
1MP = 1 (1MP camera is also
known as HD1 and is usually 1280x720)
|
| |
2MP = 2
|
| |
2MP is usually 1920x1080
|
| |
Number of Cameras with Bridge
Analytics Active
|
| |
Set how many of the cameras in
each group that will have Bridge based Analytics. Bridge based Analytics
require more Bridge/CMVR resources.
|
| |
Preview Resolution
|
| |
Set the preview resolution to
be used for each camera group. Preview resolution affects bandwidth and
resources. The Product Wizard uses "1" as the update rate for
previews which is 1 fps. HD Coax cameras should be set to CIF (320x240).
|
| |
Days of Retention
|
| |
Set to the desired days of
retention for each camera group. For the Bridge this is Cloud Retention. For the CMVR, it is local retention. A CMVR
may be used as a Bridge for Cloud Retention and to allow a larger buffer to synchronize full video to the
Cloud.
|
| |
Image Quality
|
| |
Set the image quality used for
Full Video recording. This affects the bandwidth and storage. Medium is the default. Low is approximately half of Medium. High
is approximately 2x Medium. This also accounts
for frames per second
(fps). Low = 10fps, Medium = 12fps, High=15fps.
|
| |
Scene Type
|
| |
This relates to the duty cycle
of the camera, which is the percentage of time the camera will be recording
based on motion. Set the type of scene the camera will view. This affects
bandwidth and storage. Outdoor cameras produce the highest duty cycle.
|
| |
·
Indoor (not busy) - A
back door or hallway camera with only a small amount of activity. 25% duty
cycle
|
| |
·
Indoor (medium) -
This is the default and assumes activity 50% of the time.
|
| |
·
Indoor (busy) - A
lobby or entrance that has high activity. 75% duty cycle.
|
| |
·
Outdoor - Any camera
that is outdoors has a much higher amount of activity than indoor cameras.
100% duty cycle. If for a 24 hour business with high activity, set to
Outdoor.
|
| |
Additional Features
|
| |
Set the features based on
intended use.
|
| |
·
Local Display HDMI -
The Local Display via Monitor feature is where a physical monitor connected
to the video output of the Bridge/CMVR. The number of cameras shown on the
monitor each take additional resources. Set the grid to the approximate
number of cameras to be used for Local Display via Monitor.
|
| |
· Resource Threshold - this is the % of resources (CPU & RAM) to show matching
results. For example, set to 80% to leave room for future camera
installations or additional analytics.
|
| |
·
CMVR Hard Drive Threshold - this is in % and allows adjusting the threshold for how
full to allow the hard drive for results.
|

Switches and Bandwidth
|
| |
A summary is shown first with
the total number of cameras, total megapixels, and total days of retention
used for the estimated results.
|
| |
Recommended Switch – The result here may be multiple switches. The largest managed
switch available is 24 ports.
|
| |
Cloud Bandwidth Needed Daily
Average (Mbps) - This is the amount of upload bandwidth
in Megabits Per Second that are needed to get all the video synchronized to
the Eagle Eye Cloud. This also includes metatdata and previews.
|
| |
Suggested Bandwidth for Live
Viewing - In order to live view cameras, at least double
the amount of bandwidth is needed that the camera's full video is set
to. For example, a camera at 1MP set
to medium quality (which is the default) needs 2 Mbps upload to allow 1Mps
for video and the needed overhead for continued previews and metadata.
|
| |
Approximate Utilization - this is an estimate of the CPU and RAM resources needed.
Note that you can set the Resource Threshold under Additional Features &
Options.

Show Only Selected or Show ALL
|
| |
Show Only
Selected is shown by default. This gives results
based on the selected Bridges and CMVRs from the "Select Bridges & CMVRs"
page. To change selections, click "Previous" at the top or bottom of the page. If nothing is
selected, all possible results are shown.
|
| |
Click the "Show ALL (none
selected" to show all possible Bridges & CMVRs regardless of what is
selected on the previous page.
|
| |
|
| |
Best Match
|
| |
Each Bridge or CMVR that is a
single match is shown with approximate utilization. A CMVR also shows the
approximate Hard Drive usage as percentage. Bridges are only for 100% cloud
retention without local storage. CMVRs
have capacity for local storage, but can also be used for Cloud Retention.
|
| |
Multiple Bridge and CMVR
|
| |
Returns “x” number of each
individual Bridge or CMVR required based on the input data. CMVRs shown here
must match the required local storage needed for the desired local
retention.
|
| |
CMVR Only
|
| |
Returns “x” number of CMVRs
required based on the input data. If the CMVR can be used for local
retention, it will show a Hard Drive percentage. If it can only be used for
100% Cloud Retention, it will indicate by showing “CLOUD ONLY Retention” in
place of Hard Drive percentage.
|
| |
Show All (no details)
|
| |
Results of Best Match, Multi
Bridge & CMVR, and CMVR as Bridge are shown but without the SKU and
approximate resources.
