Video Security App and Video Client offer advanced playback and live viewing capabilities for all video devices connected to a DIVAR IP 2000. Reliable storage and operation For constant monitoring and management the operating system is always running redundantly. This way the user can be sure to be alerted in case an error such as a hard drive failure appears. Critical health states can be received as an email notification and monitored via the web based dashboard. Disk failures can easily be handled with a few guided configuration steps. The web based configuration wizard provides an option for redundant storage of the recorded video data. Hard drive mirroring The hard drives can optionally be configured in RAID1 mode to provide redundant storage of the video data. DHCP support The system is designed to obtain network settings automatically in a DHCP network. Assignment of static IP addresses is supported but not required. Software update options Updates for the recording engine, new camera firmware packages and OS patches can be downloaded and applied from an online source via the web based user interface. If the system is not connected to the internet, updates can be uploaded manually from any workstation. 6
