System Requirements for EVVR Containers

Updated this week

PC Installations

EVVR Container can be installed on two different generic platforms:

  • 64-bit ARM processors (as found on products such as Raspberry Pi 4/5)

  • 64-bit X64 processors (such as Intel Atom, i3/i5/i7, Xeon or AMD Ryzen or Epyc)

The requirements for both generic platforms are the same:

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04 or up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS

    While other operating systems may work, they are unsupported. Any operating systems used must have support for IPV6 enabled in its kernel.

  • Hardware: Can be installed either on a bare-metal or virtualised machine

  • Minimum RAM: 500MB per output TVI stream
    Recommended RAM: 8GB

  • Minimum disk: 20GB minimum
    (to provide a 16GB recording partition)

  • EdgeVis Server: An encoder account on an EdgeVis Server v9 Server.

  • Network: You are responsible for providing a working and stable network connection to your EdgeVis Server on your host operating system.

Ubuntu warning!

It is possible to install Docker during the installation of Ubuntu - this should be avoided as it will not work with these instructions. This is due to Ubuntu using snap to install Docker instead of apt, and would result in having two different versions of Docker installed!

To resolve use the following commands within a terminal window:

sudo snap remove docker
sudo reboot

Router Installations

We have also supplied a special build for:

  • Cradlepoint R1900 & E3000 routers

  • Semtech XR60 router

These routers have limited resources and are limited to one camera and one output EdgeVis stream. You will notice the compose file for these products uses a 'lite' build.
