Monitoring the health of your system

To know as soon as a camera or other component in your XProtect VMS system fails is essential for the uninterrupted protection of your areas and buildings.

On the System Monitor tab, you find a dashboard that displays the health of all your XProtect VMS system components. On the dashboard, you can instantly identify if, for example, a camera has stopped working and start rectifying the situation. You can also see if a component is overloaded, for example, if one of your recording servers is about to run out of disc space or memory.

A system monitor dashboard shows the health of the different components in your VMS.

By default, there are tiles representing all Recording servers, All servers, and All cameras. You can customize these default tiles’ monitoring parameters and create new ones. For example, you can create tiles representing single servers, cameras, camera groups, or server groups.
