setting is added to the Site and renamed in this format:
(Server2F).

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.

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).

the server to its own 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.
