Switch to Redundancy Server
An NVR server can serve as a redundancy server for other NVR servers. ACTi’s Redundancy
Server records all surveillance videos directly from camera devices, logs and performs actions
for real-time event notifications on behalf of the NVR server during system downtime.
Authorized users may also access the Redundancy Server when it is in use for live-monitoring
or playback options. After the NVR server becomes available, the Redundancy Server will
then automatically synchronize all recorded video and events back to the NVR server.
Before you start,
1. Prepare a specific computer to be dedicated to carrying out the redundancy tasks.
2. Purchase the redundancy server license from ACTi sales representative. One
redundancy server computer will require one license, which can serve maximum
sixteen (16) NVR servers.
3. If your are going to install the redundancy server on a computer, please go to
http://www.acti.com/DownloadCenter to download and install NVR server program on
the computer.
Remember, by switching an NVR server into a redundancy server, the original settings and
recordings of it will all be overwritten.
