Redundancy Management Framework
RMF is the only XProtect plugin that helps set up, manage, and leverage redundant architectures.
Updated on Tuesday, February 8, 2022
RMF is a high video availability plugin that enables seamless, unified, Dual Recording management. Video and functionality are smart-combined across redundant recording servers. Functional redundancy is added to live, playback, PTZ control, presets, bookmarks, and alarms. Multi-site support.

Overview
Redundancy Management Framework - RMF is the only XProtect plugin that helps set up, manage, and leverage redundant architectures.
With Dual Recording (DR), a camera produces two video streams that are recorded on two separate recording servers always. The streams may or may not have an identical resolution, frame rate, retention times.The Redundancy Management Framework (RMF) is a plugin solution built on Milestone MIP that enables seamless, unified, DR management. Video and functionality are smart-combined
across redundant recording servers. Being completely transparent to the end-user, it adds functional redundancy to live, playback views, PTZ control, presets, bookmarks, and alarms. Geographical redundancy across multiple XProtect sites is supported through federation.
Key features
- A few redundant recording servers can tolerate concurrent failures of all primary recording servers.
- Live view recovery is automatic and could be configured to occur within hundreds of ms of recording server failure.
- Un-interrupted access to archive footage upon primary recording server failure.
- The architecture is transparent to the end user in both single and multisite installations. Unified live/playback views, bookmark and alarms.
- Asymmetric redundancy support reduces project hardware costs.
