Exiting the Recording Server Manager

Service Manager Window
The Service Manager window lets you pause/resume the Milestone Recording Server service.
Pausing the service is necessary in order to access some features, such as configuration of PTZ
(Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras. You access the Service Manager window by clicking the Service
Manager... button in the Administrator window (see page 26).
Pausing the Milestone Recording Server
Service
To pause the Milestone Recording Server service, click the Pause button.
IMPORTANT: While the Milestone Recording Server service is paused, no video or audio will be
available; neither for live viewing, nor for recording.
Resuming the Milestone Recording Server
Service
When the service is paused, the Service Manager window closes. The next
time you open it, the Pause button will have changed to Resume. Simply
click the Resume button to resume the Milestone Recording Server service.
Tip: The service is automatically resumed when you exit the Administrator application.
What to Do if the Milestone Recording Server Service is
Stopped
If the Service Manager window informs you that the recording server is stopped, the Milestone
Recording Server service has been stopped (as opposed to paused) outside the Administrator
application, possibly through the Recording Server Manager (see page 61). You are able to start a
stopped Milestone Recording Server service through the Recording Server Manager.
