In order to have the failover functionality working properly, the following points must be
taken into account:
• A stable network connection is required
• There must be at least 10 Mbps of unallocated bandwidth available with the main
recorder. The main and failover recorders must have equal camera counts
• Ideally the failover recorder must have equal storage capacity to the main recorder
to accommodate for long outage times of the main recorder.
To set up a hot spare recorder:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Video Schedule > Hot Spare .
2. First set up the master recorders.

Check the Hot Spare Mode box. Click Add to the recorder that will be the hot spare
unit.
Note: Once the hot spare is enabled, it must be added to the server in order for it to
become available.
