TRASSIR is distributed video surveillance system. Its architecture supports connecting an arbitrary number of video servers to a single network.
Each server controls specific TRASSIR objects: IP devices, compression cards, etc. Accordingly, by configuring the connection between servers you can easily access TRASSIR objects on the local network or across the Internet. For example, one of the servers might be identified as the main server and used as the control center for all video surveillance objects; or be connected to all of the servers using TRASSIR Client.
You can find a list of the current connections with other TRASSIR servers on the Network tab of the Settings window. When TRASSIR is installed, the list of connections will be empty. The list will grow as connections are created, and each connection in the list will be identified by one of the following icons:

Connection with server is on. No errors pending |

An error has occurred when connecting to the server (open the connection tab to see the details of an error). |

Connection to the server is inactive (disconnected by user). |
You can connect to TRASSIR servers in two ways: directly, by specifying the IP-address or using CloudConnect.
CloudConnect is a technology based on UPnP network protocols allowing to arrange direct P2P-connection between the servers operating not only in different local networks, but located very far from each other. CloudConnect creates endless opportunities to construct video surveillance systems of any volume and complexity. Using CloudConnect you do not need to apply static IP-addresses or set VPN-connection any more.
Important
There are some cases when CloudConnect-connection will be arranged via TRASSIR Cloud service:
- TRASSIR cannot establish direct CloudConnect connection with the cloud camera or server within 10 seconds;
- While monitoring CloudConnect-connection errors have been detected which does not allow to carry out stable data transfer between TRASSIR.
Tip
CloudConnect technology use is possible only further to connection to TRASSIR Cloud service.
Network statistics are displayed in the right part of the window. You can see real-time statistics for servers to which you are connected and for clients and servers connected to you.
Please note that in the interest of the network throughput TRASSIR server streams only those devices where the client-based action is currently taking place (watching video in real time, working with archive data, recording network channels.) Moreover, the setup of the Maximum client connections to this server parameter allows to limit the number of clients that will be able to connect to the given server.
The Video protection level setting lets you select the protection method, which will be used for data transfer between the client and the server:
- Base - for all TRASSIR versions.
- Extended - for TRASSIR 4.1+.
