Camera Disconnection/Malfunction
Occurs if Camera(s) is/are disconnected for whatever reason (network, Camera malfunction etc.). Camera
is considered disconnected if no data is received for 10 seconds. Once data is received from Camera, the
status is automatically changed back to Online.
If Camera is experiencing network issues over a minute, then is appear in 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 Camera and Media Server,
which may be the reason why a camera goes offline.
Media Server Failure. If Media Server is down, all hosted Cameras drop offline.
Camera IP Conflict. If another Camera with the same IP enters the network, one of these two Cameras
will go offline.
Media Servers Conflict. If a new Media Server is connected to another Enterprise Controller 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.
