Failover

Click “Server Settings->Failover” button, and then you can set the failover function in this interface. This function allows the current server to take over the cameras and IoT gateways from the offline server.

  • Cameras

Check to enable the Failover function. When other servers are offline, this server will take over cameras from the offline servers automatically. If you checked , the server will take over cameras from the offline servers according to the set priority. The page will show as below:



For example, here I set the priority of the cameras in Server 192.168.69.22 as shown in the figure. When the server 192.168.69.22 is offline, other servers in the system will take over the cameras from this server in the order of High, Medium and Low, and the camera whose priority is set to Never will not be taken over.

Note: There must be unoccupied channels on the server whose Failover function is enabled. Only when the number of channels on the server is less than 128, the server whose Failover function is enabled can take over the channels of other servers.
