NETWORK VIDEO RECORDER MANAGEMENT
You can use the matrix system and the
Sample NVR management scenario:
This sample system includes the following components:
•Cameras connected to the matrix switcher
•NVRs connected to the Endura network (through Endura encoders)
If an NVR goes off line a matrix system alarm can trigger a macro that you have configured to switch the video to a backup NVR (through backup Endura encoders, through matrix outputs). This ensures that no video will be lost as a result of an NVR failure.
To configure your system for the sample scenario, complete the following tasks:
•Add the
•Add the NVRs to the matrix system configuration. Refer to Add a Network Video Recorder (NVR) to the Matrix System Configuration on page 34.
•Configure a macro to switch the video to a backup NVR (through backup Endura encoders). Refer to the
•Add soft alarms, and then configure the alarms to start the backup macro when the alarm is triggered. Refer to Associate a Macro with a Soft Alarm on page 37.
•Specify the alarm that will be triggered if the NVR goes off line. Refer to Associate a Soft Alarm with an NVR on page 37.
