Migration

Once you have set up a central management system, it is very easy to move cameras from one server to another. With just a few clicks, you can initiate a migration procedure to relocate cameras from different servers to one particular server.

To perform camera migration:

  1. Click the Add button.
  2. You can click the Filter icon and select a Synology server to help you find your cameras faster.
  3. Drag the cameras you want to migrate from the left panel to the right panel and click Next.
  4. Select the destination server onto which you want to migrate cameras.
  5. Select the camera's recording storage after the migration is completed.
  6. Choose whether to keep camera recordings after migration. You can keep all camera recordings, delete them, or move the recordings together with the cameras.
  7. When you have finished the steps above, migration will start immediately and you will be able to see the progress in the Status column.

To remove migration data:

  1. Select the data of camera migrations you want to remove.
  2. Click Delete.

Note:

  • Removing the data will not restore all the cameras back to where they originally migrated from.
  • The migration works via the CIFS service.
