Entities can appear in several different states in the area view, which are
represented by different colors.
The following table lists the three entity states:
| State |
Color |
Description |
| Online |
White |
The server can connect to the entity. |
| Offline |
Red |
The server cannot connect to the entity. |
| Warning |
Yellow |
The server can connect to the entity, but there are problems. |
Entity warnings usually appear because of invalid configurations. For example, when it
comes to cameras the following two conditions can cause the camera to fall into a yellow
warning state:
- Multiple, conflicting recording schedules have been applied to the same
camera.
- A
Transmission lost
event has occurred.
This means that the Archiver is still connected to the camera, but it has not
received any video packets for more than 5 seconds.
To troubleshoot offline and warning states of cameras, you do one of the following:
- Change the conflicting schedules.
- Troubleshoot the Archiver role.
