l

Unique settings from the server are added to the Site.

 

l

If the settings are identical, only the Site version is kept.

 

l

If a server setting and a Site setting have the same name but are configured differently, the server
setting is added to the Site and renamed in this format: (server name), e.g. Email1
(Server2F).

 

l

In the rules engine, the Notify users (default) rule is always added and renamed, even if the
settings are the same. The Site version remains enabled but the added rule is disabled by
default.

 

l

The two Site Views are combined.

 

l

The Site settings take precedence.

For example, a map from the Site was copied to the server in the past. In the server, the map
was placed at the top of the Site View. But in the Site, the same map is placed at the
bottom. After the server is connected to the Site, the map takes the position used by the
Site (the bottom).

 

l

New, unorganized elements from the server are listed at the bottom of the Site View.

 

l

User permission groups are merged.

 

l

If groups have the same name, the Site settings are used and the users from both the Site
and the server are added to the group.

 

l

Groups that are new to the Site automatically get access to all the devices in the Site.

 

l

Groups that are new to the server automatically get access to all the devices that are
connected to the server.

 

l

Users with the same name will use the settings configured in the Site (including passwords), and
gain group permissions from the server.

 

l

If the Site is connected to a Windows Active Directory, the server must be connected to the same
Active Directory domain or the connection will fail. For more information, see

Importing Active

Directory Groups

.

 5. If the Site has multiple servers, you can choose to disconnect a server from the current Site and re-assign

the server to its own Site.

 

l

Select a server from the Site then click Disconnect....

When a server is disconnected, it retains all the settings it received from its previous Site.

Connecting/Disconnecting Cameras

Cameras are connected to a Site through the linked servers. The server manages and stores the camera's
recorded video, while the Site manages the events that can be linked to the camera's video.

You can connect and disconnect cameras through the Connect/Disconnect Cameras... tab.

A camera's connection status is indicated by the icon beside the camera name in the System Explorer. The
status icons may appear over any device icon in the System Explorer.
