The differences between normal IP Camera configuration and Failover Edge Recording configuration are the addition of a SD memory card and the confirmation of changes within the IP Camera for Failover Edge Recording to occur.

Key factors for a successful Edge Recording installation:

  • The camera is connected to the network and powered on.

  • The camera is set to its default values with firmware v2.50 or later.

  • The camera has a new SD Card installed, ready to be formatted.

If any of the above criteria is not applied, Failover Edge Recording will not be successfully implemented.

Steps for a successful Failover Edge Recording setup

  1. Camera Configuration.

  2. IP Server Configuration.

  3. Communication Verification.

These steps must be followed in strict order. Once the initial setup has been successfully concluded, it will be possible to make changes to the camera.

Prerequisites

The following items are required for the successful deployment of Failover Edge Recording. Any deviation from these prerequisites may cause a failure and loss of critical video data.

Required Hardware

  • High capacity SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card to match recording storage needs (installed in camera).

  • Panasonic IP cameras running v2.50 firmware or later (subject to change in future releases of IP Server).

  • Reliable and robust networking platform.

  • Battery backup systems to power IP Cameras and/or PoE switches in the event of a power outage.

Required Software

  • Video Insight’s IP Server running at software version 6.4 or later.
