Client Redundancy Overview
The Secure Perfect software system is responsible for processing alarm and badge transactions from
devices like micros and DVRs. The software is responsible for writing these transactions to the database.
A device such as a micro or DVR is hosted by a single Secure Perfect client. The client could potentially
be responsible for hundreds of devices and can be a single point of failure. Although devices like the
micro are designed to run without the host software running for days, eventually memory is going to be
filled up at the micro end. The redundancy feature in SP 6.0 is designed to address this condition. Clients
can be configured to be backed up by other clients so that, in case of the default hosting client (called the
primary client) being disabled, one of the backup clients takes over all its devices. This is designed to
work automatically without any operator intervention so the system continues to work efficiently. One of
the backup clients performs the role of the default client until the default client is back up and running.
The devices that can be taken over at present are all DVRs, network micros, dialup micros, and network
+ dial up micros. Direct micros cannot be hosted by any other than the default client computer.
The table below will assist you to find the areas in this Help system, relating to the redundancy feature.
