Setting up the Camera Servers
First make sure the firmware is the required version or later (as specified in the
table tP. 12).
Check to ensure the Camera Server has been correctly installed and that the initial
settings (network settings) have been made. Then connect to the network.
For procedures on installing and setting up Camera Servers and cameras, please see
the User’s Manual supplied with the Camera Servers and cameras.
When using multiple Storage Servers...
If multiple Storage Servers are being used, you should decide which one is the Master
Storage Server.
A typical multiple Storage Server arrangement could be:
Master Storage Server
Play Video to Viewer
Save Camera Server information
Save Zones and Locations
Save Viewer Layouts
Play video to Viewer
Play video to Viewer
Storage Server #2
Storage Server #3
Load Camera Server information
Load Zones and Locations
Load Viewer Layouts

It is recommended that all Viewers within a system use the
same Storage Server as a Master Storage Server. This ensures
that all Viewers use the same Zones, Locations and Viewer
Layouts.
For correct operation, the time setting of all PCs within a
system (including Storage Servers and Viewers) must be
correct.

About the Master Storage Server
A Master Storage Server is the Storage Server which a Viewer will connect to in the first
place. Information about Camera Servers, Locations and Zones and Viewer Layouts are
stored on the Master Storage Server.
