Camlocus can be scaled by adding additional servers in the administration panel. This allows camera data, storage,
processing, and streaming workloads to be distributed across multiple servers.

How scaling works

• Add additional servers from the admin panel.
• Assign new cameras or storage workloads to the available servers.
• Use servers with the required storage capacity for the expected retention period.
• Distribute new camera data across different servers as the system grows.

Recommended infrastructure

• Use dedicated servers for production video workloads.
• Avoid VPS for large camera deployments.
• Plan CPU/GPU resources for transcoding.
• Plan storage based on bitrate, resolution, retention, and recording type.
• Plan network bandwidth for 24/7 recording and live viewing.

Capacity depends on

• number of cameras
• camera bitrate and resolution
• 24/7 recording vs motion-only recording
• playback retention period
• transcoding usage
• AI/analytics processing requirements
• number of simultaneous live viewers
