System scaling

To be able to scale to thousands of cameras across multiple sites, the system consists of components that handle specific tasks. If you have installed all components on a standalone Milestone Husky X2, you can instead install the components on separate dedicated servers in a distributed system to scale and distribute the load.

Depending on the system configuration, one standalone Milestone Husky X2 can handle 133 cameras with the stream configuration: 720p, 25fps, 2Mb/s.

Not all components are needed in all installations. You can always add additional recording servers, failover recording servers, or XProtect Mobile servers for hosting and providing access to XProtect Mobile client and XProtect Web Client.
