Coming soon

Automatic failover (AF) boosts the reliability of the recording process and ensures smooth evidence uploading in the rare event of a server failure. Where early instances of Interview did use a backup server, it was not directly associated with the primary server. With AF, a primary and redundant server are associated with each other by IP address so the redundant can seamlessly take over in the event of a primary failure. This feature requires Interview v4.17 or later and will not initially be compatible with Evidence Local.
