Recording server is running

Recording server requires attention: Either the recording server is not running or it is running with errors.

1. Hover over the recording server icon to view the status message.
2. If you need to start or stop the recording server, right-click the Recording Server Manager tray icon.

Recording server must be authorized: Appears when you load the recording server for the first time. When you first use a recording server, you must authorize it:

1. Right-click the required recording server icon.
2. Select Authorize Recording Server. After a moment, the recording server is authorized and ready for further configuration.

Ongoing database repair: Appears when databases are corrupted, for example due to a power failure, and the recording server is repairing them. The repair process may take some time if the databases are large.

See Protect recording databases from corruption for information about how to avoid corrupt databases.

Important: During a database repair at startup, you cannot record video from cameras connected to the recording server. Only live viewing is available.

A database repair at normal operation does not affect any recordings.
