Swapping Cameras between Server s (Admin Only) |
|
If too many cameras are used on the network, it may be helpful to set up an additional server for load balancing and redundancy purposes. If several servers are set up on the same network, it is possible to perform manual load-balancing.
This is how camera swapping works:
1.Step 1: Server is connected to Server and starts discovering Cameras. As soon as Cameras are discovered, they will appear in the Client.
2.Step 2: Server is connected to Server and starts discovering Cameras. As soon Cameras are discovered, their MAC Addresses are checked. If Camera is registered on Server , it will not appear in the Client and a “Disabled” flag is set in the database.
3.Once Camera is moved to another Server , it becomes Enabled in the second Server and automatically disables itself in the first one.
IMPORTANT. When moving Camera from one Server to another, recording will be restarted automatically (with predefined parameters). Also, Archive is seamlessly combined from all servers.
To move camera(s) from one server to another:
1.Hold Ctrl or Shift to select the desired cameras in Resource Tree
2.Drag and drop the selected cameras to the desired server
IMPORTANT. In order to be able to see video from Camera on a new Server, the cameras must be discovered by this server. Otherwise it will be displayed offline.
