EYEXIS Failover

Automatic takeover for servers, archivers and the database — the security system keeps running.

In critical facilities a security system outage is not acceptable. EYEXIS Failover monitors cluster nodes, takes over automatically when the leader fails and redirects clients to the new leader.

Frequently asked questions

Does recording stop if a server fails?

In a cluster the standby node takes over automatically; if cameras have a failover archiver, recording goes to it while the primary pool is unhealthy.
