Meta Data Conversion Utility

Meta data conversion utility is used for updating the unique ID number of a camera in a
primary/redundant box. You can use this utility only if you are opting for Redundancy feature.
You need to run this utility before configuring the Redundancy feature in MAXPRO VMS and
ensure that all the Primary NVR boxes are updated with proper unique IDs for the cameras.
This utility updates the unique system ID number of the recorded clips and Meta data details
for all or specific cameras. It retains your recorded clips and Meta data details during Failover
/Failback operations. This allows a user to effectively playback the recorded clip without loss
of video. You can also define a new Unique ID for all or required cameras based on the
existing Unique IDs.
Meta data conversion utility is available in Bin folder of the installation path and you need to
run this utility in each NVR box individually to update the unique system number. This utility is
applicable only for existing MAXPRO NVR 4.0 Build 87 H solution box.
Offline Mode
You can also use this utility to synchronize the Unique ID in offline mode for specific cameras.
Offline Mode option enables you to update the unique ID manually if you have
modified/updated the unique ID only in one NVR box (such as Primary box). To synchronize
the unique ID number in both the primary and redundant box you need to run this utility in the
Redundant NVR box.

entries in the .bat file set BackupDBDrive=M: set BackupMetaDataDrive=C.
By default the Backup Database (BackupDB) is stored in M drive and the
Metadata (BackupMetaData) is stored in C drive. It is recommended to choose M
and C drive for DB and Metadata backup, but you can choose your own drives
(for example: E, D, H drives) to store the backup file.
