Configuring NVRs

Main window >
This chapter provides information on how to configure NVRs in your system.
Primary NVRs record the images of all assigned encoders and IP cameras connected to your
system.
A Failover NVR is a server that takes over the tasks of a failing Primary NVR. The Failover NVR
starts recording as soon as the Primary NVR fails. A Failover NVR cannot have any encoders
directly assigned. A Failover NVR can take over the tasks of a Primary NVR even when Central
Server is not available.
You can assign maximum one Failover NVR to a Primary NVR and you can assign multiple
Primary NVRs to one Failover NVR.
When the Primary NVR works correctly again, the Primary NVR takes back his tasks from the
Failover NVR automatically. The Failover NVR stops recording some seconds after the Primary
NVR has started recording. The recordings of the down time stay on the Failover NVR.
A Redundant NVR performs the same recording tasks as the assigned Primary NVR. A Primary
NVR can have maximum one Redundant NVR assigned. On a Redundant NVR, you cannot
configure the recording and event settings of the assigned devices independently from the
Primary NVR. A Redundant NVR just retrieves video and audio streams and forwards them to a
database. When you change the recording settings on the Primary NVR, these settings are
synchronized on the Redundant NVR.
If you remove an NVR from the Device Tree, the recordings of this NVR are not deleted. You
can retrieve them by activating a previous configuration version containing this NVR.
You can assign a Failover NVR to a Redundant NVR. When the Redundant NVR fails, the
Failover NVR takes over its tasks, i.e. it acts like a Redundant NVR.
The recordings are performed in different modes depending on your configuration:
