System Design Concept When using multiple Storage Servers If multiple Storage Servers are being used, you should specify the Master Storage Server. A typical multiple Storage Server arrangement is shown below. Storage Server #2 Master Storage Server Play back Video to Viewer Load Camera Server information Load Zones and Locations Load Viewer Layouts Save Camera Server information Save Zones and Locations Save Viewer Layouts Viewer Play back Video to Viewer Play back Video to Storage Viewer Server #3 A master storage server is a server, which viewers connect to in the first place. Master storage servers store information about camera servers, locations, zones and viewer layouts, which range over multiple storage servers. Viewers extract those information from a master storage server. All of the Viewers within a system should use the same Storage Server as the Master Storage Server. This makes it Note possible to use the same Zones, Locations, and Viewer Layouts in all of the Viewers. Ensure if the Storage Server and Viewer installed to the PC is operated with correct daytime setting regularly. We recommend that you use NTP function to set the time for Storage Server automatically. Adjusting the time of Storage Server during recording may cause problems to the recording video. When multiple Storage Servers are operated, if the Storage Servers other than the Master Storage Server are stopped, it takes time to display the Configuration and Preferences screen (approximately up to 30 seconds). When using Viewer alone The Viewer can be used by itself without connecting to the Storage Server. Although there are some restrictions on functions such as recording and Event Search, Viewer-Only mode allows to view live videos. 30
