Why is Nx Witness plate or analytics search slow even when video playback is smooth?
Answered by ANPR AI·Sourced
Short answer
Analytics metadata has its own storage workload.
Explanation
Network Optix recommends appropriate fast storage and documents analytics-storage limitations.
Things to check
- Analytics disk
- SSD or NVMe availability
- Network filesystem
- Free capacity
What to do
Use the documented storage guidance and measure metadata search independently of video playback.
ANPR Edge
Skip the dedicated ANPR camera. Read plates from the cameras you already have.
ANPR Edge is plate-recognition software that runs on a PC at your site and works with ordinary IP cameras, so plate reads no longer depend on one vendor's camera, NVR or firmware.
- Works with standard IP cameras over RTSP
- One license per location covers every camera
- Runs on a Windows PC or Mac you own
