Best Practices for Configuring Lenel NVR/HVR Failover

1. Add the Primary Lenel NVR into System Administration.
2. Add cameras to the Primary Lenel NVR in System Administration.
3. Add the Secondary Lenel NVR into System Administration.
4. Configure the cameras to failover to the Secondary Lenel NVR.
5. Perform a download to the Primary Lenel NVR.
6. Allow the download to complete.
7. Perform a download to the Secondary Lenel NVR.
8. Any time you change which cameras are or are not configured for Failover, you must repeat steps 4 through 7.

You should have Lenel NVRs in the same time zone.

You should not failover from Lenel NVR A to Lenel NVR B, and from Lenel NVR B to Lenel NVR C, and then from Lenel NVR C to Lenel NVR A. This gives an illusion of super redundancy, but that is not the case. If LNVR B goes down, LNVR A will not failover to LNVR C automatically.
