System Configuration Examples
Case3 Using Multiple Storage Servers and Viewers
Up to 10 storage servers can be used on a single network. When multiple camera servers are used in a
system, you can use one of them as a master storage server, and use the others as slave storage servers.
Master storage servers are storage servers, which viewers first connect to, and are used to store
information of camera servers registered to each storage server and to store event logs. Although there is
no limit on the number of viewers to be connected, up to 10 clients can connect to a single server. In all, up
to 192 camera servers can be operated in one system. You can operate a system with a combination of
storage servers and VK-64, VK-16 or VK-Lite.
Note
The master storage server function is not available with VK-Lite. When operating multiple storage
servers with a VK-Lite Viewer, you need to switch the connection one by one.
Case4 Using Viewer Only
You can also use the viewer only.
