Launch Salient Design Tool Wizard Integrator's Design Tool Wizard

The Salient Design Tool Wizard allows you to determine key design elements of your video security project. The design tool wizard will estimate the server hardware required to support your system design and will produce a printable report, either for a single server installation or for a multi server/multi site project. Results include:

  • Required storage based on camera configurations.
  • Recommended server (or multiple servers) for CompleteView software based on specified camera configurations.

By entering the recording configuration of a camera or groups of cameras the calculator will automatically determine the storage space and the processing capacity required.  Once all cameras or groups of cameras have been entered in, the calculator will produce a printable report showing which server(s) and the storage required to support your camera configuration.  The results will show two columns. The first column will show the lowest priced option. The second column will show a "rack-mountable", "less rack space required" or "fewer servers" results depending on how it compares to the lowest price result. Additionally you will have the option to submit the proposed design to a Salient Sales Engineer for review.

Hardware recommendations in the design tool are based on Salient purpose-built NVRs. View our hardware brochure for details. Salient's CompleteView software can be purchased as software only and installed on any PC server platform or provided pre-installed on a tier-1 hardware brand (such as Dell). All the server specifications are provided to assist in determining the hardware required for installations not using the Salient NVR server hardware line.
