Connecting/Disconnecting Cameras and Devices

Cameras and other devices are connected to a site through the linked servers. The server manages and stores the camera's recorded video, while the site manages the events that are generated from the camera's video or by a connected device (such as an Avigilon Presence Detector sensor).

You can connect and disconnect cameras and devices through the Connect/Disconnect Devices… tab.

A connected camera or device appears with an icon next to its name in the System Explorer. When the connection to the device is not in its normal state, the connection status is indicated by an overlay on its icon. The status overlays may appear over any camera or device icon in the System Explorer. The status icons are shown in the following table.

Status Icon
	The device is connected to the server and is currently upgrading its firmware.
	The device cannot connect to a server.
	Applies only to cameras. The camera is disconnected but recorded video from the camera remains on the server.

The status icons as they appear for a fixed camera are shown in the following table.
