System Usage Metrics
The system usage metrics display the current Resource Usage, CPU, GPU and Memory usage in the upper right hand corner of a camera's General set up page under Setup > General Configuration > Cameras > Camera List. The severity of usage is indicated as percentages and as green, orange, or red gauges.
Enabling on-board analytics and other functionality requires dedicated system resources. The Resource Usage meter visualizes the total resource pool used or available and is specific to this hardware.
NOTE: Resource Usage is not an average of CPU, GPU, Memory, or overall system load.
NOTE: Analytic events may not be detected or recorded as configured if system usage nears or exceeds CPU, GPU or Memory capacities.
