Archive merge - is a unique technology, allowing to share an archive from a server to which the video surveillance devices are connected, and which has the archive record set up, to one or several other servers.
The purpose of the archive merge:
-
Backup copy. - Create the identical (mirror) copies of all video surveillance servers archives. You set the time to start copying by yourself and the archive depth of the destination server can be much greater than the source one.
-
Archive review without connection to the video surveillance system. You don't need to connect to the video surveillance servers to review the archive. Configure archive stream from several servers to a single one. Connect to this server to review the entire video monitoring system archive.
-
Creation of the alarm events archive. You don't need to search for an archive fragment with a particular event captured. You can configure TRASSIR to mark a fragment as an armed one. Archive merge will allow to copy all these fragments to ant server, where you can review and analyze them.
Important
Settings highlights:
- Archive merge is activated and configured on the source server.
- The amount of the channels that can be uploaded to the destination server is defined by the quantity of licenses on it.
During the archive merge configuration, you can set up the following session parameters:
- Where to copy? - Set up the destination server to which your server is connected.
- What to copy? - Select what should be merged: all data or armed events only;set the archive depth, as well.
- When to copy? Right after the archive recording started or at the scheduled time.
Adding a session
Press Add Session button and set the Destination server and Storage time.
Tip
If the source server is a server that stores archive from personal video recorders than press Setup PVR Merge and select Destination server and Storage time to transfer the archive to another server.
Tip
The maximal storage time on the destination server is 600 days. Thus you can set up the archive of smaller size on your videoserver. Connect to the source server the quantity of hard drives required to store the archive for several days and make regular copies to the destination server.
Further session configuration is described in Configuration of the archive merge session on the source server
