High Availability Independent Playback

Failover extends to Independent Playback

Overview

In the Milestone XProtect Smart Client, Independent Playback is a feature in live view that enables users to view recorded video footage from a specific camera independently of the global or synchronized timeline used for other cameras.

RMF enhances the Milestone Smart Client with Independent Playback Stream-Level Failover, enabling each camera tile to automatically retrieve recorded video from the available source—primary or secondary—on a per-tile basis.

RMF's Smart Client features are only available in the Single Site or Federated modes of operation. Use a PSIM that integrates with the RMF API to achieve this functionality in the Independent mode of operation.

Usage

  1. Select an RMF view while in live mode.

  2. Click the Independent Playback button in the RMF plugin window to play the recording for the camera in the live view.

  3. If a primary recorder does not have content at the playback timestamp, content is automatically sourced from the secondary recorder to continue uninterrupted playback.
