Recording Server Service Management
Using the Recording Server Manager
The Recording Server service is a vital part of the surveillance system; video streams are only
transferred to XProtect Basis+ while the Recording Server service is running.
The Recording Server Manager informs you about the state of the Recording Server service. It also
lets you manage the service.
A notification area (a.k.a. system tray) icon indicates whether the Recording Server service is
running or not. Green indicates running (default), red indicates not running.
By right-clicking the icon you can start and stop the Recording Server service, view log files, etc.
