9.3.10 Network Failure Detection
Settings on the Network Failure Detection screen enable the camera to periodically ping another IP
device within the network to detect a network failure, for example, if a video server is disconnected. By
implementing local recording through a microSD/SDHC card, the camera can operate as a backup
recording device for the surveillance system if network communication is lost due to a network failure.
