recorders should fail, it can then take over recording until the failed recorder comes back online.
Once the failed recorder is back operating normally again, the slave recorder will send its
recordings to the HDDs of the recovered master so that no recordings are missing.
The hot spare recorder can only backup one master recorder at a time. If more than one
recorder should fail, the hot spare recorder will only backup the recorder that failed first.
All recorders must have the same number of channels.
Once the failed master recorder is back online, the slave unit will return to its normal monitoring
state.
In order to have the failover functionality working properly, the following points must be taken
into account:
•
A stable network connection is required.
•
There must be at least 10 Mbps of unallocated bandwidth available with the main recorder.
•
This unallocated bandwidth is used for streaming the video footage from spare unit to
master unit during the recovery process.
•
Ideally the failover recorder must have equal storage capacity to the main recorder to
accommodate for long outage times of the main recorder.

1. From the menu toolbar, click
