In some instances, it may be necessary to delete a server from the System.

A server can only be deleted when it is offline. To delete a server, locate it in the Resource Tree, r ight-click to open the context menu and select Delete.

IMPORTANT: All devices that are hosted on a deleted server will be deleted as well. Recorded data will remain in the server’s storage.

A server will automatically discover all d evices and start operating once it is back online, and archives from previously attached cameras will remain available. However, storage settings and device configurations are not saved and will have to be re-entered.
