One of the most densely populated districts in Hungary is famous amongst citizens and travelers with its fancy bars, street food delicacies, weekly farmer markets, and historic sites. After the smart city surveillance installation, the public safety and efficiency of each corner have been pushed to new heights.
Smart cities have been gradually actualized as an emerging trend in modern IT development, with surveillance being one of the major applications to enhance traffic management, urban mobility, and traffic safety and efficiency for every user. While video surveillance in smart cities offers safer communities, improved municipal services, and efficient city operations, the demand for data storage is rapidly increasing. However, while higher resolutions and frame rates (e.g. AI, 4K cameras) push the limits of surveillance data volume capacity increasingly, the old method -storage footage in the camera itself – is soon becoming obsolete.
As different cameras provide different storage footage depending on lighting conditions, scene details, and so on, the final amount of storage space the CCTV host requires for his deployment may initially be indeterminable. The need for flexible storage provisioning to share storage capacity between hosts and expansion possibilities on the fly emerge.
Alphasonic Kft, as an expert in CCTV solutions, was appointed as a solution provider to design this smart city project. Alphasonic deploys QSAN XS3224D with Axxonsoft. The centralized system is built with redundant 10 Gbps storage networks to the host, supporting 6 VMS hosts and 150 channels AxxonNext Professional with AI features.
The installation was applied with 24 pcs Western Digital 12TB SAS drives to offer 288 TB raw capacity, enabling scale-up of up to 7 PB with expansion: a single array QSAN XS3224D can actually support more than 2000 cameras. Considering the possible periodic growth of capacity through the addition of new cameras, increased amount of data saving time requests and further deployment of higher frame rate cameras, the versatility of QSAN XS3224D makes it a perfect futureproof fit for the solution.
