7.3.10 Network Failure Detection
The network failure detection function allows the IP camera to periodically ping another IP device
within the network to detect a network failure, for example, if a video server is disconnected. By
implementing local recording (through a microSD/SDHC card) if a network failure occurs, the camera
can operate as a backup recording device for the surveillance system.
Detection Switch
The Administrator can enable or disable the detection function by selecting On or Off.
