Virtual Cloud Adapter FAQs
What are the Linux hardware requirements for the Virtual Cloud Adapter?
Ensure the hardware you plan to use the Virtual Cloud Adapter on meets the following requirements:
- Modern Debian based Linux
- 64-bit Intel/AMD CPU, with performance of at least a 10th generation i3 or better
- SSD of at least SATA III performance interface (500GB SSD recommended to support 64 cameras in case of network outage)
- 16GB of RAM recommended for 64 camera installs
The Virtual Cloud Adapter is free to download, so we always recommend testing it on your hardware first. More details can be found in our installation guide.
What are the Windows hardware requirements for the Virtual Cloud Adapter?
Ensure the hardware you plan to use meets the following requirements:
- Windows 11, version 22H2 or newer.
- Intel or AMD 64-bit processor.
- At least 7 GB of available RAM.
- At least 32 GB of free storage on the selected drive.
- VT-x or AMD-V virtualization enabled.
- Administrator access to run the installer.
We’ve tested the following machines:
- A Windows 11 PC with an Intel N95 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD supported 16 cameras recording 24/7.
- A Wo-We P6 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3550H processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB NVMe SSD comfortably supported 48 cameras recording 24/7 and likely could have supported up to 64.
Camera resolution, bitrate, network conditions, and other software running on the PC will affect performance, so we recommend testing your chosen hardware before deployment.
Do I need a dedicated machine for the Virtual Cloud Adapter?
Depending on your hardware specifications, the Virtual Cloud Adapter can run alongside other activities. However, for long-term, 24/7 use, we strongly recommend using a dedicated machine. It should also be configured to restart automatically after a power loss.
Does the Virtual Cloud Adapter work on Linux and Windows based NVRs as well as PCs?
We have designed and tested the Virtual Cloud Adapter on Linux and Windows-based PC platforms. It is quite possible that an NVR with an Intel processor could work, but we haven’t tested it.
Are there any license fees to pay for the software?
It’s completely free to download and run the Virtual Cloud Adapter on your own machine. However, you’ll need to pay a subscription for your cloud plan – this depends on the number of cameras you want to record to the cloud, the resolution, and the cloud storage duration.
