Recorders Admin - Recorders Tab

Purpose of the section is to add and configure VSLogger recorders included in your recording system. Smaller installations will have only one recorder, usually installed on the same PC as Adutante server. Larger installations might have two or more recorders in the system.

Adutante server connects one or more VSLogger recorders into single distributed recording system.  

Adutante server's role is to provide user and permissions management and to become centralized access point to all registered recorders.
