Purpose

A dedicated server on-site is required to run the Nirovision software. The job of the server is to:

• Receive and store video streams.
• Perform AI inferencing (detect people, vehicles, faces, licence plates, recognise people and vehicles).
• Send the results to the Nirovision cloud.

Key components

GPU

Most of the AI workload is performed by the GPU.

Currently, we only support NVIDIA GPUs at this stage.

• While there are many product lines in the NVIDIA product range, GeForce RTX provides the best price-to-performance ratio.

CPU

The CPU is still an important component as it performs all of the general-purpose computation (running the operating system, performing IF/ELSE logic, etc.).

We recommend Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPUs as a minimum.

For larger systems, i7 or Ryzen 7 would be more suitable. Server-grade CPUs like Intel Xeon won't hurt, but might be overkill depending on the situation.

Primary Storage Drive

A small 120GB NVMe SSD is required for the Nirovision OS. 120 GB or more.
