in the dialog window by selecting the appropriate option
11. :

    1. Server and client—installation of the client and server services. We recommend selecting this type of installation if you use no more than five servers in one place that must work within the same domain. When you select the Server and client installation type, an account is created in Windows OS that is used by the file browser of Axxon One. You can specify the account name during installation of Axxon One (see Axxon One requirements). 
       Axxon One server: 

       1. Interacts with devices (cameras, microphones, inputs, outputs, and so on) that constitute a security system.

       2. Stores archived data on its own disk spaces and interacts with archives located in network storage.

       3. Stores databases of events and databases of object motion metadata.

       4. Analyzes the incoming video using detectors.

       5. Keeps configurations of the security system, user settings, custom layouts, macros, and so on.
          

    2. Failover server and client—installation of the client and server services enhanced with the FailOver capability

. In emergency

12. 1. (

power outage, network problems), the FailOver technology restores the server configuration on another server (

       • If you use from 5 to 30 (minimum 3) servers in one place that must work within the same domain.
       • For stable operation with more than 500 cameras on a single server, the Failover server and client (cluster type—independent nodes (see Creating and configuring independent nodes)) installation type is required.
       • For stable operation with more than 1,500 cameras in a single Axxon One domain, the Failover server and client (cluster type—independent nodes (see Creating and configuring independent nodes)) installation type is required on all servers.
         
    2. Client—installation of only the client that allows the user to connect to any server and perform administration/management/monitoring operations with the protected facility based on the permissions granted by the administrator
.

        Connected devices only work on ports from the specified range. If not enough ports are allocated, then some of the devices may not work or can be unstable. The number of ports that you select affects the scalability of the system.

    one

    58. 1 port for sending emails (via the SMTP service,

    see

    59. see Email notifier). Attention! The Failover server and client installation type (see Configuring Failover VMS) uses 9 base ports and preset port ranges for each node (see Ports used by the FailOver system); In a 64-bit configuration, 4 ports are required for any number of IP devices.

    In a 32-bit configuration, 4 ports are required for each 32 cameras;
