Server Labeling

Label the recorders as Primary or Secondary.

In this procedure, we label recorders as primary or secondary.

Note:

• Only the cameras on the labeled servers are available and visible to RMF.

• RMF will ignore any server without a label, and its associated cameras will remain unavailable.
