tenance of network components without losing images. It also means that you can
replace or restart the recording PC/server without losing recorded video. The MO-
BOTIX camera thus has a decisive security advantage as opposed to the com-
monly used centralized recording that is controlled by PC software.
Cameras can also monitor each other as well as the recording PC/server and they
can send error notifications to the camera administrator using e.g. e-mail or phone
calls. Even a total loss of the recording PC/server is not a problem any more as the
cameras automatically switch to a backup PC/server (feature currently under deve-
lopment).
The Playback screen allows searching for and displaying the recorded events, in-
dependent of where the video clips have been stored (either internally or in a ring
buffer on a PC/server). No user interaction is required, regardless of where the
images are stored. The administration menu of the MOBOTIX camera contains the
Event Storage dialog for setting the network address and the maximum storage
capacity on the recording PC/server (see chapter 8,
Recording
).
