This option allows to determine if the IP Server has been successfully connected to the IP Camera with Failover Edge Recording enabled.
Verify that the Save Trigger (under Recording Stream 1) is greyed out and displays the status Network failure.
If Network failure message is not visible, then IP server is not communicating with the camera. It is recommended to remove the camera from IP server and reset it to its original factory condition; afterwards, repeat the Communication Verification procedure.
If the Network failure message is visible, a successful connection between the IP Camera and Failover Edge Recording has been established.
Reboot the camera following these steps:
Click on Maintenance (on the left).
Select the Default reset tab.
Find Reboot from the list of options and then click Execute.
The reboot process should take about 2 minutes.
