High Availability Independent Playback
Failover extends to Independent Playback
Overview
With Release 7.5.0, the requirement to create a “special” RMF view in the Smart Client has been removed. RMF now runs in the background within the Smart Client and provides high availability to all native XProtect view windows displaying RMF-licensed cameras. All user-facing native smart client features are preserved.
Skip the steps below if you are using Release 7.5.0 or later.
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
Select an RMF view while in live mode.
Click the Independent Playback button in the RMF plugin window to play the recording for the camera in the live view.
Independent Playback in Live Mode If a primary recorder does not have content at the playback timestamp, content is automatically sourced from the secondary recorder to continue uninterrupted playback.
Click the Independent Playback Exit button to stop playback.
