Device Disconnection/Malfunction
Occurs if Device(s) is/are disconnected for whatever reason (network, Device malfunction etc.). Device is considered
disconnected if no data is received for 10 seconds. Once data is received from Device, the status is automatically
changed back to Online.
If Device is experiencing network issues over a minute, then appears within Resource Tree.
Additional Events may occur as well and may help to investigate the issue:
 Network Issue. This means that network is unable to transfer data between Device and Server , which may be the
reason why a device goes offline.
 Server Failure. If Server is down, all hosted Devices drop offline.
 Camera IP Conflict. If another Camera with the same IP enters the network, one of these two Cameras will go
offline.
 Server s Conflict. If a new Server is connected to another Server on the same network and pulls data from the
same Cameras, then some Cameras may drop offline because they may not provide several streams
simultaneously.
