The invention discloses a front-end equipment access method and device, a server and a storage medium. The method comprises the following steps of determining a target access protocol adopted by front-end equipment to be accessed; judging whether the target access protocol is stored in a video cloud system or not; and if yes, determining a first target child node according to each child node stored with the target access protocol, and accessing the front-end equipment into the first target child node. In the embodiments of the invention, when the target access protocol adopted by the front-endequipment to be accessed is stored in a video cloud storage, the first target child node in each child node stored with the target access protocol is determined, and the front-end equipment is accessed into the first target child node, so that the front-end equipment is accessed into the corresponding child node according to the access protocol adopted by the front-end equipment, and furthermore,when the target access protocol is unstable or a fault occurs, the faults of large-scale child nodes is avoided, and the stability of the video cloud system is guaranteed to a certain degree.
