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.

Benefits

  1. Cause Agnostic Failure Detection and Mitigation: Effectively detects and addresses various types of failures, helping to mitigate video monitoring outages caused by multiple issues.

  1. Rapid Stream-Level Failover: This capability integrates failure detection and mitigation into each client view, ensuring seamless failover. It enables deployments to achieve stream-level, sub-second live video failover and fast playback failover. Each client's view window independently determines its source recorder, independent of other windows and client machines, allowing for democratic, seamless transitions.

As of RMF 7.4.0, stream-level failover is supported for Single-Site and Federated Architectures. It is unsupported for Independent sites. Instead, failover can be availed from PSIM in such architectures.
