Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.
A master/slave setup allows you to combine several servers and extend the total number of cameras you can use beyond the maximum allowed number of cameras for a single server. A master/slave setup also allows remote users to transparently connect to more than one server at the same time. When remote users connect to the master server, they instantly get access to feeds from hardware devices on the slave servers as well.
You can designate an unrestricted number of master and slave servers per software license file. XProtect Professional master servers can only use XProtect Professional slave servers.
You can have different product versions on the master and the slaves servers, but the master server must use the newest version of the software and the slave servers must not run versions that go more than two versions back compared to the product running on the master server.
You can verify the connection to your slaves by clicking Update Status and let the system report the number of connected slaves back to you.
