As you set up your system, you must save any changes you make to the configuration in order for these to be applied to the system. When you change the configuration in the Management Application, for example in the Camera Summary or User Properties, a yellow notification bar informs you that you have made changes to the configuration. The bar appears in order to make sure that your changes are applied to the system. If you want to apply the changes, click Save. If you do not want to save your changes, click Discard.
Once you have made changes to the configuration and saved these, your system contacts the system services, including the Recording Server service and the Image Server service. If you make changes to your configuration, for example if you change the name of a camera or change motion detection settings, the relevant system services load the new configuration and the changes appear in your client immediately. In contrast, more resource-demanding configuration changes, for example if you add a new event, require that you restart the relevant services before they work properly.
If you need to restart services, your system carries out the restart automatically once you have saved the changes. If you make changes to settings in the XProtect Mobile server, your system applies all changes when you click Save, without restarting the XProtect Mobile server service.
Important: While your system restarts services, you cannot view or record video. Restarting services typically only takes a few seconds, but in order to minimize disruption, you may want to restart services at a time when you do not expect that any important incidents take place. Users connected to your system through clients can remain logged in during the restart of services, but may experience a short video outage.
Note that the system stores changes in a restore point (so that you can return to a working configuration if something goes wrong).
