In security, every second matters, especially during a system failure. Whether it’s a power outage, network crash, or hardware malfunction, you need your surveillance to stay online and recording.
That’s why Digifort’s Advanced Failover System is designed to keep your security operations running with maximum reliability and minimum disruption.
What is Failover?
Failover is a safety mechanism that ensures system continuity if the primary server or device fails. With Digifort, this is not just a backup, it’s a smart, automated recovery engine that:
- Keeps recording video
- Maintains live monitoring
- Preserves critical alarms and data
Digifort’s failover system reactivates within 3 to 15 seconds, giving you near-instant protection during any failure.
Key Capabilities of Digifort’s Failover System
Automatic Synchronization
When the main server changes (like adding a new camera or user), those updates are instantly synced with the failover server, no manual work needed.
Self-Healing Technology
If the main server goes down, the failover server takes over. Once the issue is resolved, Digifort automatically restores streams and merges data back into the main server without losing anything.
Ultra-Fast Recovery
Failover is triggered within seconds, minimizing downtime and ensuring critical footage is not missed.
Granular Priority Control
You can choose which cameras or objects to switch over during failover. Focus on the high-priority ones to reduce hardware costs while still protecting vital areas.
Data Redundancy & Preservation
Events, alarms, maps, and video footage are all preserved and synchronized, even during failover, ensuring no data gaps.
Supported Failover Types
Digifort’s failover isn’t limited to just camera feeds. It covers:
- Cameras
- I/O devices
- Operational and global maps
- Edge analytics
- Global events
- LPR & facial recognition metadata
It even supports multiple simultaneous failures, ensuring that no single point of failure can bring down your system.
Real-World Example: City Surveillance
Imagine a large city control center with hundreds of cameras across different zones. If a server at one zone fails:
- The failover server kicks in within seconds
- Operators still receive alarms, stream video, and monitor footage
- Once resolved, all recordings are transferred back to the main server
- No footage is lost, and operations stay seamless
Why It Matters
System outages don’t just cause inconvenience, they create security blind spots that criminals can exploit. With Digifort’s failover system, you:
- Avoid data loss
- Maintain full situational awareness
- Ensure compliance with security policies
- Keep public safety and asset protection intact
Stay Secure, Even When Systems Fail
Digifort’s failover system gives you peace of mind that your security won’t skip a beat, even when the unexpected happens.
No gaps. No panic. Just uninterrupted protection.
