Minimum system requirements
For information about the system requirements for the various VMS applications and system components, go
to the Milestone website (https://www.milestonesys.com/systemrequirements/).
Before you start installation
Milestone recommends that you go through the requirements described in the next sections, before you start
the actual installation.
Prepare your servers and network
Operating system
Make sure that all servers have a clean installation of a Microsoft Windows operating system, and that it is
updated with all the latest Windows updates.

Microsoft
®
.NET Framework
Check that all servers have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or higher installed.
Network
Assign static IP addresses or make DHCP reservations to all system components and cameras. To make sure
that sufficient bandwidth is available on your network, you must understand how and when the system
consumes bandwidth. The main load on your network consists of three elements:
l
Camera video streams
l
Clients displaying video
l
Archiving of recorded video
The recording server retrieves video streams from the cameras, which results in a constant load on the
network. Clients that display video consume network bandwidth. If there are no changes in the content of the
client views, the load is constant. Changes in view content, video search, or playback, make the load dynamic.
Archiving of recorded video is an optional feature that lets the system move recordings to a network storage if
there is not enough space in the internal storage system of the computer. This is a scheduled job that you have
to define. Typically, you archive to a network drive which makes it a scheduled dynamic load on the network.
Your network must have bandwidth headroom to cope with these peaks in the traffic. This enhances the
system responsiveness and general user experience.
