Precautions When Installing the MFZ Dome Camera Cover2025-03-10T14:52:44+00:00

To reduce internal reflections, MFZ Indoor Dome models use silicone bushings, which require a certain amount of compression to be effective. This necessary compression creates natural friction, which can cause the Pan position to shift slightly during installation. As the top cover is secured with a rotational method, friction between the silicone on the dome cover can cause the Pan position to shift.

  1. During the process of combining the dome and the body, the Pan position may change. Therefore, anticipate this change, adjust the Pan position accordingly, and then proceed with the fastening.
  2. For indoor dome cameras, including MFZ Indoor Dome cameras, the upper bubble can still rotate even after fastening the lower part of the bubble. After securing the lower part, rotate the upper part to adjust the PAN direction as desired. Be careful not to leave fingerprints or foreign objects on the bubble in front of the lens.

TR-2516 Constraints.2025-03-10T14:35:08+00:00

I have confirmed and shared the new TR-2516 constraints.

Issue: Provision AHD, Hik TVI 4MP/5MP camera shown only 1280ร—1440 when connected to TR-2516.
โ€“ Maximum resolution possible when the same camera is connected to the TR-1508.

The issue is limited to 4M Half/5M Half mode due to TR-2516 chipset performance limit.
TR-150x/TR-2504/TR-2508/TR-45xx have no chipset performance limitations.
Example)
4M30 : (Recognized as 4M Half) 1280ร—1440 15ips
4M15 : 2560ร—1440 7ips
5M20 : (recognized as 5M Half) 1280ร—1920 10ips
5M12 : 2560ร—1920 7ips

If IPS is set lower in AHD, TVI camera settings, TR-2516 will enable resolution rather than half mode.

Third-party AHD (Provision) and TVI (Hik) cameras found on Onsite do not have 4M15ips and 5M12ips options.
In this case, TR-2516 does not enable maximum camera resolution.
โ€“ 5M 12.5ips is supported for IDIS TVI 5M models, so maximum resolution is available.

Other models, TR-15xx, TR-2504/2508, and TR-4508/4516, do not have this constraint, so this is not a problem.

I canโ€™t see the Onvif protocol on the DR-1308P. Why is that?2025-03-10T14:33:35+00:00

What is the LAN/POE OUT port of DV-1304-A, and how do I use it? And whatโ€™s the connection to Power Sources?2025-03-10T14:30:38+00:00

An additional IP camera can be connected to the LAN/POE OUT PORT of DV-1304-A, and POE is provided.
However, it is necessary to connect a DC 48V Adapter to use it.

Refer to the following for details on the power supply.

0. 0. DV-1304-A can be powered w/ two power sources
1. 1. when powered via PoE (802.3at class 4 25W)
=> when powered w/ PoE, only the DV-1304-A works and it will draw max 25W
=> the PoE power draw in the NVR is showing total. please ignore the per channel power consumption

2. 2. ย when powered by DC 48V@1A on the DC power in terminal (48VDC@0.8A = 38.4W)
=> the PoE Out on DV-1304-A is only powered when DC power is used
=> it will draw max 1A and use about 38.4W for both DV-1304-A and PoE out
=> it can supply 48V@0.35A max on the port PSE (16.8W), so itโ€™s about, 802.3af class3 (15.4 W max)

When Windows is reinstalled for Installation & ISS SW, Please tell me how to make the existing recorded data recognizable.2025-03-10T14:29:42+00:00

PSE(PoE) Power Constraints on DR-2500 NVR2025-03-10T14:28:51+00:00

Q :
We found a possible issue with the PoE on this device. The problem happens when the IR lights come on in the cameras. There seems to be a PoE overload so one camera loses power.

When we turn off the IR light on the bullet camera, then the Fisheye camera that turned off comes on again.

The below is the PoE status with the bullet IR turned off.

FAQ Camera Status 1

This is with the Bullet IR turned On

FAQ Camera Status 2

A.

From products produced since June 2022, (PD69104B1)
The PSE controller has been changed and has the following restrictions.

The corresponding NVR is determined by the following circumstances.

1. Current: Port is managed by Group, power is limited if it exceeds 37W per Group.
โ€“ โ€“ Gruop0 : CAM1 ~ 5
โ€“ โ€“ Group1 : CAM5 ~ 8

All cameras are currently connected to Group0.

FAQ Device Health Status

To solve the problem,
Connecting the camera to Group0 and Group1 seperately would solve the problem

How many cameras can be linked from the first one connected to the extender?2025-03-10T14:21:08+00:00

Officially, we can say 1 IPC linked from the camera.

Power
PoE, IEEE 802.3at(Class 4), 25.5W
(DC OUT : 42.5-57V=, 0.3A MAX)

DC OUT is extended port.
42.5V x 0.3A = 12.75W (min)
57V x 0.3A = 17.1W(Max)

So, at least DC OUT (Extender port) can provide 12.75W~17.1W

Basically, DC-D4517 series consumes about 7W.
12.75W โ€“ 7W = 5.75W. thus itโ€™s not enough to support additional third camera.

In regards to DC-D4517 series, Extender PoE specifications2025-03-10T14:20:19+00:00

Q : What is the maximum distance I can reach with the PoE extender?

A. itโ€™s 100 meter. Itโ€™s same as ethernet interface. But you know, you have to consider margin for installation.
I think most of installer takes about 70meter for the safe.

A : Yes, they can use the same login information, if one channel is just created on ISS, one of the apps is able to be registered,
But another will be failed to register, because the channel will be full.

In this case, the one channel for app2 needs to be created.

Can you please let us know how to work and the data flow of the IDIS Mobile Camera app?2025-03-10T11:47:46+00:00

A : first of all, It requires IDIS Mobile camera channel on ISS in advance, and then the Mobile camera accesses Admin service.
Then, the image traffic flows to Mobile Camera => ISS Mobile service => ISS Streaming service => Live view or ISS Recording service

Iโ€™d like to use IDIS Mobile Camera app. when it use, what services of ISS should be installed?2025-03-10T11:46:26+00:00

IDIS Mobile camera cannot be registered to ISS2025-03-10T11:28:41+00:00

Q.ย When I try to register the Mobile camera app to the ISS, it fails. Why?

ย 

A.

IDIS Mobile camera app is classified as 3rd party device license, not IDIS Device license according to company regulations.
Therefore, 3rd party device number must be added to the license as much as the number of mobile camera apps to be registered.

ISS : Recording date/time if the cameras are in different country2025-03-10T11:27:24+00:00

Q.

Our customer has to record with ISS in the cloud. The cloud recording servers are located in the Pacific time zone but the local stores / cameras are located all over the US in 4 different time zones.
How will this affect the event recording and searching?
For example, an event occurs in New York at 8am โ€“ which is 5am in Pacific time. Now when the investigator comes to work in California at 9am Pacific, he searches for the event which occurred at 8am. If I am correct, that will be actually searching for an event at 11am Eastern?

ย 

A.

The Time follows Admin serviceโ€™s time.

So, if the camera is in New York at 8am, and Recorder Server is in Pacific zone at 5am.
the time goes to depending on the where Admin service(ADM) is at.
if the ADM is in Pacific zone, the footage time of camera records as 5am.
if the ADM is in New York, the footage time of camera records as 8am.

Because the time follows ADM service time, so it may needย to adjust the time setting on ADM server if you need.

Are the object recognition accuracy of ISS Peron Match and IDLA the same?2025-03-10T10:57:42+00:00

Both services are using the same VA Engine(called IDLE), there is no difference in recognition rate, and the specification is the same as upto 50 object simultaneous monitoring. However, note that the optimal performance is upto 16ch.

What is the ISS Person Match license policy?2025-03-10T10:56:05+00:00

Person Match Service Licenses
The Video Analytics (IDLA) and Person Match Services use and share the ISS VA license. If you are already using the IDLA, the PM service is provided as a free upgrade.

Even when adding multiple PM service in a single Admin Service, it is used as the total number of channels purchased.

As PM service is in Federation, the IDLA license for PM service should be included to Federation license,
As PM service is in Admin, the IDLA license for PM service should be included to Admin license.

Can I use Person Match when using ISS Federation? Anything to watch out for?2025-03-10T10:55:22+00:00

Person Match Service at Federation service
Person Match is also available in Federation service.
As mentioned above, when performing PM search, data traffic increases instantaneously because the PM service directly accesses multiple recorders or recording services to retrieve and analyze data.
In other words, it should be used in a space with sufficient bandwidth of the network. In other words, if you need to install PM service in the location where Federation is installed, it is necessary to review beforehand whether the network bandwidth and latency are sufficient.
However, when building a system, you need to understand the operation method and data flow in order to build it correctly.
Case1: When FED (Federation) has a PM license
Case2: When ADM registered in FED has a PM license

Case1: When PM service is registered in FED
PM search can be done at ISS FED CLIENT. ISS FED CLIENT can perform PM search for all cameras.

However, if the network bandwidth between the recorder (ADM) and PM (FED) is insufficient due to the system structure, the search speed may be quite reduced, so please be careful.
For example, if the bandwidth between a bankโ€™s ATM and the monitoring center is very limited, it can be a problem when performing PM search.
In this case, Case2: When ADM registered in FED has a PM license.
In this case, Federation should have IDLA(PM) license.
As many as IDLA(PM) license applied, user can search the number of channel(IP camera)

Case2 : When ADM registered in FED has a PM license
As above, if the bandwidth between ATM and monitoring center is low, Case 1 is not appropriate.
In this case, while building PM service on the ATM side, it is built on site to secure sufficient bandwidth for VA.

Note: In this case, PM search cannot be run for the camera of ATM2.
For PM service, PM serivce must be installed in the admin service.
In this case, Federation dose not need to have IDLA license, but Admin license should have it.
(With above diagram, ATM2 site cannot use Person match service, because there is no Person match service installed)

Multiple Monitor video out off2025-03-10T10:53:24+00:00

Q: I am monitoring real-time video over 144 channels by connecting 4 monitors with Intel i7 + Quadro P1000 (GPU) configuration.
By the way, up to the 2nd monitor is normal, but from the 3rd monitor, the video is cut off. Why is that and what should be done?

ย 

A:
1) Intel i7 CPU
+) i7 CPU also has a grade, but the general i7 has 4 cores (Quad Core).
From a multimedia data processing point of view, this is an intermediate specification.
+) CPU selection is very important in real-time monitoring operation of more than 144 channels (cameras) in a configuration of 4 monitors.
2) Quadro P1000 GPU
+) The P1000 has the advantages of low power and easy multi-monitor configuration, but it is a low-spec GPU.
+) It is a better GPU than the GPU used in development, so it is difficult to conclude that the current information is the cause of the issue.

** Issue identification
+) If the CPU occupancy exceeds 90% and the phenomenon is reproduced, there is a high probability that it is a CPU issue.
+) CPU usage is less than 85%, but if the phenomenon is reproduced, there is a high probability that it is a GPU or MEM (out of memory) issue.
In addition to +), it is necessary to review the overall operating environment (OS / CPU / MEM / GPU / Device Driver / Etc)

** check item
1) Check camera stream settings and dynamic multi-stream control configuration
2) Check the camera stream encoding codec (H.264)
+) H.264 has much less decoding load than H.265.
+) It is recommended to use the H.264 codec for the stream used for multi-channel monitoring.
3) Activating camera settings intelligent codec
4) Default value is recommended for Client S/W setting (Preference โ€“ Video Enhancement)
+) In a low-end GPU environment, it is necessary to check the phenomenon depending on whether High-Quality Downscaling is used.

What is Recorded Footage mode in ISS Person Match ?2025-03-10T10:48:37+00:00

This mode is almost the opposite of โ€˜Pre-Processed Footage modeโ€™ in operation.
When PM service is executed, it directly accesses the recorder or Recording service, accesses the recorded data and performs analysis (IDLA).
Also, this mode can do PM search with any camera (the biggest difference from Pre-processed Footage mode)

Advantages :

โ€˜Pre-Processed Footage modeโ€™ costs a lot when building a service, but Recorded Footage mode doesnโ€™t require IDLA VA service and MariaDB for pre-processed VA metadata like the above configuration. (In other words, the construction cost is lower than the Pre-Processed Footage mode.)
So, if the cost of H/W is burdened, you can use this mode.

What is Pre-Processed Footage in ISS Person Match?2025-03-10T10:47:39+00:00

Person Match / Pre-Processed Footage
Among those two modes, the one with the fastest search speed is Pre-Processed Footage. This function classifies objects in advance (pre-processing), stores them in a separate database server (MariaDB), and searches through PM service if necessary. It has the advantage of faster search speed compared to Recorded Footage mode.
Also, when PM service is running, it is good because the search session resource is not consumed because it connects to MariaDB instead of directly connecting to the recorder. Devices like NVR only have two search sessions, so if there are many users who use ISS playback at the same time, the search session of NVR full may occur and PM search of NVR may not be possible.

In summary, the advantages of Pre-Processed Footage are:
โ€“ Fast search speed
โ€“ It is suitable for the system environment that has the restriction of search session such as NVR or TVR.

However, this service also has its weakness.
โ€“ Increased cost: IDLA Server and MariaDB storage capacity are required because pre-processing is required using IDLA and DB is stored by building MariaDB. That incurs additional costs.
+ However, if you are a user who already uses IDLA, there is no cost issue. (You only need to add as much storage capacity as MariaDB)

โ€“ Restriction that only cameras analyzed through IDLA can be used:
+ Data analyzed in advance through IDLA are stored in MariaDB, and this data is used by PM service, so there is a limitation that only cameras analyzed through IDLA can be used. / There is a restriction that other cameras cannot use PM service.
+ But you have to think about this, there are some cameras all people must pass through. For example, building entrances, checkout counters.

Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the pros and cons of the function and introduce the most appropriate service to the customer.

What is the โ€˜ISS Person Matchโ€™ ?2025-03-10T10:46:24+00:00

There is an IDIS Deep Learning Engine called IDLE, and using it, we are providing an IDIS VA(Video Analytics) technology called IDLA.
This time, we would like to introduce another VA technology called Person Match, which is a type of IDLA.

IDIS Person Match (hereinafter, PM) is a function that VA directly finds the person you are looking for.
If you find the person you are looking for in the video and run PM search, you can easily find out when and where the person is.
In the days without PM technology, security officers or police officers had to manually search through numerous CCTV footage for a very long time to solve a case. But now they donโ€™t have to.

This PM is a service belonging to ISS VA (IDLA), so IDLA license is used.
This also means that customers who already use IDLA can use PM service for free.

This IDIS PM service has two main modes.
โ€“ Person Match / Pre-Processed Footage
โ€“ Person Match / Recorded Footage mode

Why is measured VA data different from IDIS Center ?2025-03-10T10:45:19+00:00

VA Dashboard is a graph that shows the trend of problem occurrences, which means it does not represent an exact value of the events.

In other words, rather than displaying the total number of events, events that have occurred during one minute are counted as Violation 1.
If all 23 mask violation events occur within 1 minute, VA Dashboard counts them as 1.

A customer can misunderstanding about the current interval time of 1 minute has been received, and we intend to reduce it to 10 seconds.
Then, a value similar to the customerโ€™s intended result may be displayed.

After upgrading the firmware, the IP setting of the camera is not supported by the NVR. Why?2025-03-10T10:44:15+00:00

I was able to change the camera IP settings in DirectIP 1.0 NVR.

However, please note that the IP setting function in the tool is not supported after moving to the DirectIP2.0 generation.

Does DC-S6283/3583/3883 meet IK10? The material of the instrument is plastic, how does it meet IK10?2025-03-10T10:40:45+00:00

The reason why the customer guessed that it would be difficult to meet IK10 after checking the exterior material
It is likely that the judgment was made by looking at the plastic exterior parts.
The exterior plastic parts used in this product use a PC mixed material that can easily absorb shock, and the basic thickness of 3T is applied to prevent damage to ensure safety.

How to keep recorded data forever ?2025-03-10T10:39:47+00:00

ISS has a Backup service module, you can use this service and back it up and store the NVRโ€™s HDD separately as replacement HDDs.

โ€“ How to configure of ISS

1. Uncheck โ€˜Overwrite backup data when the disk is fullโ€™
When assign HDD storage on Backup service, โ€˜Overwrite backup data when the disk is fullโ€™ should be unchecked so that Overwrite feature stop.

2. Check โ€˜Notification of Disk Almost Fullโ€™ as 90%

3. When setting the backup for the first time, it is recommended to set โ€œfirst / summary backup or event backupโ€.
This is due to the network throughput performance and h/w performance limitations of the Recorder.

4. If the HDD is full and needs replacement, as shown in the picture below,
Make a note of the last recorded date/time before replacement, and when you connect a new HDD and reconfigure backup, you can start recording from the time you wrote the note.

5. There is currently no function in ISS that gives an alarm when starting a new HDD recording.

โ€“ how to connect to itย 
+ RTSP URL rule of the RTP Streaming service is as follows:

rtsp://[RTP Streaming Service IP]:[rtsp port]/
idis?trackID=[device identifier number]&
streamID=[stream index]&audio=[0 or 1]

i.e : ย rtsp://192.168.10.100:554/idis?camera=4&video=h264

+ Yes, so NVRs and cameras must be added to Streaming service

When do we use โ€˜HDD optimizationโ€™ ?2025-03-10T10:37:35+00:00

โ€˜Optimizationโ€™ has two functions :

Optimizationโ€™ pre-tests whether the newly added HDD is appropriate for recording.

(+ set Buffer size, # of camera, etc)

If the result is pass, the newly HDD is appropriate for recording.

For example, if you set 32 cameras for optimization and it passes the pre-test, the HDD guarantees 32 recordings.
However, it doesnโ€™t guarantee over 32 cameras. It may be possible or not.

ย 

If you set 48 channels for optimization and it passes, the HDD guarantees upto 48 cameras, so you can add 16 more cameras whenever you want.

Why is the tilt angle narrower than visible angle ?2025-03-10T10:01:08+00:00

Here are two reasons :

1. To prevent diffuse reflection by top cover during night.

2. To prevent the top cover from entering the angle of view.

When using FEN, why is there a difference in speed between port forwarding and not?2025-03-10T10:00:02+00:00

If UDP is not available when accessing UDP, it will pass through โ€˜Relay Serverโ€™. โ€˜Relay Serverโ€™ is in Korea and have capacity limitations, so, it lead to decline in speed.

When using โ€˜Port Forwardingโ€™, it doesnโ€™t pass through โ€˜Relay Serverโ€™ and directly connected between devices.(Speed Up)

We recommend โ€˜Port Forwardingโ€™ when using FEN.

How is the Time information of video delivered?2025-03-10T09:58:07+00:00

The IDIS camera storesย the time information ever frame when recording.

If there is the time information delivered by RTSP, information is generated.
However, if not, the time information is generated based on the time when the RTSP frame arrives at the Client.

For IDIS, why is the camera and NVR connected only 1:1?2025-03-10T09:57:04+00:00

It is premised to record when connecting the IDIS camera and NVR.

Therefore, When registering a camera in NVR, use Record Session and Watch Session. Record Session allows only one connection.

The IDIS camera has a buffer to respond to Jitter in the network, but, if more than two Record Sessios are connected, it cannot determine where to send the buffer.

About Setup -> Display -> Main Monitor Sequence2025-03-10T09:56:04+00:00

Data overwrite when โ€˜Panic recordingโ€™ -> โ€˜Timelapseโ€™2025-03-10T09:49:23+00:00

ย 

Yes, If HDD is full, it overwrites timelapse data on panic recording data.

However, Panic recording data can be maintained by using โ€˜recording data protectionโ€™ function.

ย 

โ€˜Panic Recordingโ€™ records forever in โ€˜No Limitโ€™2025-03-10T09:48:36+00:00

Yes records forever. However, if overwrite is off, it stops panic recording when HDD is full.

Search only event recording data2025-03-10T09:47:24+00:00

Q. Example :

1. 09:00 ~ 21:00 : timelapse recording

2. 21:00 ~ 09:00 : event recording

In this case, is it possible to search only event recording when search 9/1 00:00:00 ~ 9/30 24:00:00 ?

ย 

A. Event log must remain when event is set in the recorder whether it is set โ€˜Timalapse recordingโ€™ or โ€˜Event recordingโ€™ orย โ€˜No recordingโ€™.

Therefore, Search for daily time zones by specifying Scope in Event Search.

SAVM(Self Adjusting Video Mode) in 3rd party camera2025-03-10T09:46:02+00:00

What is โ€˜Synchronous Playbackโ€™ ?2025-03-07T16:54:00+00:00

Ex) TR-2504 : Playback speed as below.

Playback

โ€“ 120/100 ips@ CIF, 2CIF, D1, 960H(NTSC/PAL)
โ€“ 120/100 ips@ HD(30p/25p)
โ€“ 120/100 ips@ FHD(30p/25p)
โ€“ 72ips@ 3MP, 60 ips@ 4MP, 40 ips@ 5MP

Recording per ch ips

โ€“ Recording below 2m. โ€“ 30ips.
โ€“ 3M recording ips : 18ips
โ€“ 4M recording ips : 15ips.
โ€“ 5M recording ips : 10ips.

FHD playback means that 30ips per second is played per channel when played on a four-division screen. (total = 30ips * 4 = 120ips)

Likewise, 3M is recorded 18ips per ch, so playback at full speed at 72ips when it is four-division screen.(4M at 60ips, 5M at 40ips)

For example, โ€œ4ch 1080p synchronous playbackโ€ means that 2M camera will be played at full speed on a four-division screen on a 4CH recorder.

(But, Itโ€™s not โ€˜Synchronous Playbackโ€™, if there are other interference during playback such as iRAS watch/search connection, clip copy etc)

What is the difference between DirectIP 1.0 and DirectIP 2.0?2020-08-26T14:09:13+00:00

The existing DirectIP 1.0 protocol has two modes, DirectIP mode, and IDIS mode, so you have to reboot the camera to change each mode.
DirectIP 2.0 protocol can take advantage of all the advantages of DirectIP mode and IDIS mode depending on whether accounts are created without rebooting in a single mode.

The most prominent difference between them is security.

DirectIP 1.0 uses MAC Address-based mutual authentication for convenient authentication without setting password.

DirectIP 2.0 has become more secure with Certificate-based mutual authentication. Now IP camera and NVR exchange and store respective certificates.

When a DirectIP 2.0 NVR re-establishes a connection with a paired IP camera, the authentication process begins with checking and comparing each otherโ€™s certificates to the stored certificates. If the certificates match, both devices are confirmed by each other, the communication session is established.

DirectIP 2.0 protocol is a unified form of two modes. Without rebooting, the protocol can take advantage of all the advantages of DirectIP mode and IDIS mode.

In DirectIP 2.0, a camera boots up as a DHCP client looking for a DHCP server for about 40 seconds. If no DHCP server is found, it starts up with a linked-local IP address.

Why do IDIS Center crash when camera pane goes into full-screen?2020-08-26T12:40:30+00:00

There has been reported the following issue :

A customer experienced IDIS Center crash on their Demo Room PC when a camera pane is clicked and got into the full-screen mode.

After the crash, the IDIS Center window was disappeared but the G2Client.exe was not terminated and still alive in the Task Manager.

โ€“ There are two graphic adapters on our PC (Intel UHD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA GTX 1050) and we are using both adapters.

โ€“ Intel released a new device driver for Intel UHD Graphics 630 on 3/8/2019. Driver version: 25.20.100.6615

This issue has been caused after a Windows update.
and after restart the PC, the Crash issue has been started.
Then I rolled back the Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver to the previous one (which is version 22.20.16.4758, dated 8/2/2017)
Then it works without issue.

Solution:
Reason: Graphic card driver s/w bug.
H/W acceleration decoding of GPU is totally dependent on Intel device driver and implementation, and Client S/W is just interlocked only.
There have been several such issues in the past, all of which were problems with the Intel device driver.
IDIS Center is already using the latest version, so itโ€™s not a version compatibility issue,
We have confirmed that the device driver released on a date similar to the problem-resolved device driver is also reproduced on Intel (R) HD Graphics 530.

We have checked that the latest device driver at this time, the problem did not occur,
If you use version โ€œ2019-05-28 / 26.20.100.6912โ€ or higher, We think it will work properly.

No matter how Intel/MS, the device driver is just S/W, so there may be a bug.
If this happens, please upgrade your graphics card to a non-problematic graphics card to fix the problem.

โ€“ crisp image detail
โ€“ good color saturation
โ€“ anti-flickering
โ€“ minimal motion blur
โ€“ low noise
and hundreds of other criteria.

โ€œGood qualityโ€ image in ANPR application.

โ€“ best exposure.
โ€“ tighter iris control if possible to achieve deeper depth of field.
โ€“ shortest shutter speed to minimize the motion blur.
โ€“ black and White for better license plate capture : even though there are enough ambient lights and even though you sacrifice the color information.
โ€“ gain control to minimize the noise

How can I watch the SD recording image?2018-09-24T14:23:10+00:00

We are going to do an internal test before we install an ANPR (LPR) on a customer site. What is the specification required for ANPR server?2018-11-14T11:13:08+00:00

The ANPR Server Specification is determined by the following procedure.

  1. First, check which country your customer site is located in, and check the number of lanes required for license plate recognition.
  2. Check the required score for it in the table below.
  3. Check the appropriate CPU at cpubenchmark.net
  4. Use 16GB or a higher memory card.

region anpr server

For example,

Assume that you are performing license plate recognition for three lanes in Europe,ย The required CPU score is 10710.

Visit the site below to find the cpu for the 10710. Intel Core i7-4790K or so.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

CPU benchmark

The recommended server specification is as follows.

CPU : Intel Core i7-4790K or higher

RAM : 16GB RAM , But, if the number of ANPR engine is more than 2, 32GB RAM is recommended.

I cannot watch live and playback images of the NVR in IDIS Solution Suite Client.2018-11-14T10:51:05+00:00

network

To connect to the ISS Expert, uPnP setting in the NVR and manual Port Forwarding to the router are required.

However, if you set only those settings, ISS(IDIS Solution Suite) Expert will give a private IP address of the NVR to ISS client over WAN network, and you will not be able to connect the NVR with the private IP address.

In this case, FEN service is the solution for the problem.

Register a NVR to FEN Server, FEN server will pass the both of IP addresses of NVR such as public and private to the client, it will make the client access the NVR correctly.

Then the Network configuration diagram looks like this.

How many RTSP sessions does IDIS TVI DVR support?2018-01-04T20:41:10+00:00

TRย series can connect maximum 10 RTSP sessions. This is the same for TR-22xx and TR-42xx series. The sum of RTSP and live monitoring (watch) channels for TR series is maximum 10. The network transmission performance of TR-2204 is as follows mentioned in our global web site.

โ€“ 30ips @ Full HD per channel, shared with recording.

That is, TR-2204 can multiple RTSP channels more than 4, but, the transmission performance depends on the number of recording operation channels as well as the number of RTSP and watch channels.

But, TR-4208(R) and TR-4216(R) can support up to 120ย ips@Fullย HD regardless of recording operation with multiple RTSP channels.

So, we recommend to use TR-42xx TVR if the RTSP stream performance should be stable regardless of recording operation.

Which NAT type does support FEN service?2017-12-21T22:01:33+00:00

By creating a userโ€™s custom name (FEN name) simply from a DirectIP NVR, its device info and network parameters (including Device name, MAC address, IP address, port info, NAT type, product info etc.) are automatically registered in the DirectIP FEN server running in the cloud. The user is able to access the site remotely using this custom name instead of an IP address, as the FEN server keeps hold of the local deviceโ€™s connection on the network even in a DHCP environment with dynamic changing IP.

FEN service uses UDP hole punching for NAT traversal to gather address information of two ends, a NVR and a remote client, and NAT type in a site where a NVR is or a remote client is should support UDP communication.

[NAT types supporting UDP communication]

How many NVRโ€™s can be registered to one DD-1116?2017-12-21T21:33:20+00:00

Up to 4 NVRs can be registered to one DD-1116.
One NVR can be registered to multiple DD-1116. In DirectIP mode, a NVR is able to interwork with up to three units of DD-1116, but in IDIS protocol mode, a NVR can only be linked to one DD-1116.

When does DD-1116 synchronize its time?2017-12-21T21:11:16+00:00

DD-1116 normally tries synchronizing in every hour but executes time synchronization when it is one of the cases as below.

โ€“ A registered NVR is disconnected and back online.
โ€“ Time zone in DD-1116 is changed.

* When multiple NVRs are registered to a DD-1116, the decoder synchronize its time based on the time of the NVR which has been registered first.

Why the cameras do not synchronize the time?2018-11-12T13:59:21+00:00

For the cameras, DC-F1211A, DC-F1211, DC-F1111, DC-E1112WR en DC-E1212WR, the time setting will be changed randomly when the cameras reboot because their RTC(Real Time Clock) do not have batteries. For this reason, โ€œTime Syncโ€œ setting is necessary to automatic synchronize the time after reboot.

On DirectIP mode, the cameras do synchronize the time automatically without โ€œTime Syncโ€ setting because DirectIP protocol is auto-configuration oriented mode, but for the cameras running on IDIS protocol mode, the cameras do not time-synchronization unless a user manually configure the time on the menu, โ€œTime Sync. This configuration can be set on remote setup of a camera.

FYI, Identifiers appears only in Video Wall Agent, not in IDIS Center or IDIS Solution Suite Client, and one IDIS Solution Suite Administration service can register 1024 devices.

I can not scan any camera with Auto Scan in IDIS Solution Suite Setup.2017-04-24T11:14:21+00:00

Case 1. When thereโ€™s a software distributed by Apple running in a PC.

Auto Scan of IDIS Solution Suite uses mDNSResponder service distributed by Apple.

Software made by Apple also uses mDNSResponder. So, sometimes the Apple software conflict with Auto Scan of IDIS Solution Suite and IDIS Solution Suite cannot scan cameras.

Please delete Apple software if it is installed in a PC where IDIS Solution Suite is installed for better device scanning. Or, keep a PC or PCs to be utilized only for IDIS Solution Suite.

Can I use my existing switching hub to obtain DirectIP features?2016-11-02T11:09:31+00:00

Of course, you can use existing switching hub, But, most non-DirectIP switching hub canโ€™t support the specific features like DirectIP hub.

DirectIP hub supports the following features.

โ€“ PoE functionality which is designed to be able to connect both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PD devices though all ports canโ€™t connect IEEE 802.3at PD devices.

โ€“ Power on/off control for each camera

โ€“ Connection notification for each camera

Therefore, if non-DirectIP switching hubs are used in conjunction with DirectIP devices, some benefits of DirectIP will diminish

How many Wibu keys can I plug in on one server?2018-11-14T10:06:32+00:00

up to 8 Wibu keys

Where do I plug in the Wibu key?2016-10-13T09:28:31+00:00

Depending on the type of the license, you need to provide it to the corresponding server running its corresponding service[1]. For example, Recording ch or (Live) Streaming ch/server licenses have to be provided to the server running ISS Admin service. for Backup ch license, you provide it to each Backup server.

There are 3 different groups of licenses available for ISS v1.7.0.

  • Admin group

    • Recording ch license

    • (Live) Streaming ch license

    • (Live) Streaming server license

  • Backup group

    • Backup ch license

  • Federation group

    • Federation[1] ch license


[1] Typically, you will be plugging the wibu key license to the server running the corresponding service.

What is Wibu key?2016-10-17T09:54:52+00:00

Wibu key is a USB license key that comes with ISS. You always need to have the wibu key plugged in the server running its corresponding service(s) at all time, or else, ISS System will stop working immediately.

Can I use ISS systems on VPN?2016-11-02T11:09:31+00:00

Yes, but the network bandwidth and network delay overhead on the VPN may become a problem. It is advised to isolate IP video stream traffic within one subnet as much as possible, and limit VPN access to ISS client software for casual use only.

What about network environment for ISS2016-11-02T11:09:31+00:00

It is strongly recommended that you use LAN environment with Gigabit network for all your ISS system. If you use 100Mbps network, you can only have a handful number of IP cameras.

For example, 2MP H.264 real time (30ips) IP video stream in can reach upto 4~12Mbps. If you are recording 10 of them, and trying to do live monitoring, 100Mbps would be not be enough bandwidth.

What about server specifications for ISS service and client software?2016-11-02T11:09:31+00:00

Please refer to the manual for the specifications. The general rule of thumb is

โ— ย ย ย ย (Live) Streaming service uses a lot of bandwidth and CPU resources

โ— ย ย ย ย Video Analytics service uses a lot of CPU/Memory resources

โ— ย ย ย ย Admin or (Event) Monitoring services are moderately resource demanding

โ— ย ย ย ย Recording services require high speed storages

โ— ย ย ย ย PCs to run ISS Client software need to have a good VGA card, and CPU to decode multiple streams of IP video streams

Where do I install each ISS service?2016-11-02T11:09:31+00:00

It really depends on your budget. ISS System is very flexible in terms of where to install different services. Ideally, you may want to have one server run only one service. Typically, you will run Admin/(Event) Monitoring services on one server, and Recording, (Live) Streaming and VA services on three separate servers respectively.

But if your system is 32ch max, you may run all the services: Admin, Monitoring, Recording, Streaming on one server, and VA services on another server. VA service takes a lot of CPU resources[1]. If you are installing multiple services on one PC server, such as (Live) Streaming service and Recording service on the same PC server, you need to assign different (RTP) incoming port ranges for them. Refer to Incoming port range in the glossaries.

[1] ย 4 core CPU can handle upto 8ch in VA service

What port does Admin service use? And what about NAT traversal?2016-11-02T11:09:31+00:00

ISS Admin service uses TCP 11001 port. If the service is behind a NAT router, you need to port forward TCP 11001 on the router, so that ISS Client and other services can connect to it.

You can configure this port number on the server running the service using ISS Service Manager.

What happens if ISS admin service crashes?2016-11-02T11:09:32+00:00

All ISS client software will stop working.

(Event) Monitoring, (Live) Streaming, and VA services will stop working. Backup service will stop working. Federation services will not be able to work with the ISS System with its Admin service crashed.

However, Recording service will continue to work, but it will be able to record Event related IP video streams only for the IP devices registered to itself only. It is because, for cross Recording service boundary event associated recording, IP camera events are collected by (Event) Monitoring service and then routed through Admin service to the other Recording service. This can not be done because Admin service is crashed.

What happens if I install more than one ISS admin service?2016-11-02T11:09:36+00:00

Nothing. You are creating a new ISS system. You will need to have a new ISS license, or it will be running in demo mode. You maybe able to register IP devices, but recording may not work. Because if an IP camera is registered to two different ISS Systems, Recording may not work properly with IP cameras using ISS protocol because two ISS Systems will be competing to establish a recording session with the IP camera. IP cameras using ISS protocol allow only one recording connection session. The Recording service that establishes the recording connection to the IP cameras will keep the recording session. The other Recording service will keep trying to connect to the IP cameras, and fail.

What happens if I uninstall ISS admin service?2016-11-02T11:09:36+00:00
Donโ€™t do it. You will lose everything until you restore the iexp Service Database file to restore all the services, and device list.
What happens when I delete a registered service from admin service?2016-11-02T11:09:36+00:00
All other services will be decommissioned immediately. For example, if it was a Recording service, recording will be stopped immediately, and ISS Client wonโ€™t be able to access the recorded video on the decommissioned Recording service. The recorded data will be preserved in the decommissioned Recording service. If you have a backup of iexp file, you may be able to regain the access to the recorded video, you need to re-register it to the Admin service, and then reload iexp file to it.
All the services are installed and registered to admin service, how do I configure them?2016-10-13T10:11:15+00:00

Use ISS Setup,

  • ย ย ย ย Login to the Admin service with a user account that is a member of a group with proper Setup authorities like ISS service setup and ISS schedule setup
  • ย ย ย ย Select Services icon to see all the registered services.
  • ย ย ย ย Double click a service or use [/] edit icon to configure the selected service

Typically, you will be first adding/registering IP devices, assigning them to different services, and ย then configuring the services, such as setting up Storages for Recording service, configuring VA parameters, etc.

Refer to each Service section for further service related details.

I can use ISS system without any problem, but I cannot remotely setup the IP devices, what is wrong?2016-11-02T11:09:36+00:00

If you are connecting to ISS Admin service behind a NAT router using ISS Setup, IP address scope issue may arise: IP devices and ISS Admin service are running in the same subnet behind the NAT router, but ISS Setup is connecting from the outside of the NAT router. In most of this case, the registered IP addresses of the IP devices are private IP addresses, and ISS Setup wonโ€™t be able to use the private IP addresses when it is connecting from the outside of the NAT router.

You can address this issue for IP cameras/video encoders using ISS protocol and ISS compatible DVRs/NVRs by using FEN and forwarding the corresponding ports. But when you have many different IP devices, even this approach is not manageable.

  • configure all IP cameras/video encoders using ISS protocol and ISS compatible DVRs/NVRs to use FEN

  • forward the admin port for each of them

  • register them to ISS Admin using FEN names

Typically, it is advised to run ISS Setup in the same subnet where the IP devices are running for security issues.

All the services are installed, and IP devices are added/registered to ISS admin services. Can I remotely configure the IP devices? Or upgrade the firmware>2016-10-13T10:14:32+00:00

Use ISS Setup, and you can remotely configure the following devices:

  • IP cameras/encoders using ISS protocol

  • ISS compatible DVRs/NVRs

  • ONVIF compatible IP cameras[1]

  • compatible 3rd party IP cameras

You can upgrade the firmware of the following devices:

  • IP cameras/encoders using ISS protocol

  • ISS compatible DVRs/NVRs

How do I add/register services on Admin service?2016-11-02T11:09:36+00:00

When you install ISS services[1] on one or more servers, ISS Setup wizard will ask for the connection information of the Admin service during installation. Using this information, each service will report itself to its Admin service. An admin user will have to register these services to be included in the ISS System.

Use ISS Setup to do this. Launch ISS Setup, and login to the Admin service. Select Services icon and use + icon to register these services.

[1] except ISS Federation service

What is the recommended server specification?2016-11-02T11:09:37+00:00

It is recommended run the service on a dedicated server if possible. ISS Admin service does not use as much computing resources as other services. Typically you will be running ISS Admin service and ISS (Event) Monitoring service on one server.

Please refer to the manual for the recommended server specifications.

All ISS services [1] / IP devices / users will have to be registered to an ISS admin service. So, in a way, ISS admin defines a boundary of an ISS system?2016-11-02T11:09:37+00:00
When an ISS service is launched, it reports itself to its ISS Admin service to download its configuration information as well as connection information of other ISS services.

When you login to an ISS system with ISS Client, you are logging into ISS Admin service, and then your ISS Client software is granted access to different IP devices, or services. ISS Client downloads information about where to find, how to connect to different devices or services using the directory of the Admin service.

ISS Admin service is a very crucial part of ISS System. If the Admin service is down, all ISS Clients will lose its connection immediately. Recording service will continue to recording IP video streams, but only for the IP video streams registered to itself because Recording service can not access Admin service that mediates Events from Monitoring service.

[1] except ISS Federation service
What are the main functions of ISS Admin service?2016-11-02T11:09:37+00:00
ISS Admin service provides the following services:
  • License authentication
    • ISS Admin service authenticates licenses: Recording ch license, (Live) Streaming server/ch license.
    • check current license information using ISS Service Manager on the server running the Admin service or use WibuKey Tester program on each server.
    • add License certificate using ISS Service Manager on the server running the Admin service.
  • Directory service of these services/devices/users,
    for example
    • connection information to services, like External IP address/port information
    • login information to the registered IP devices
  • Management service of services/devices/users
    • registration of services/devices/users
    • service database management (backup/import)
    • configuration of services,
      for example,
      • storage setting/preparation of Recording services
      • recording schedule of IP cameras
      • event handling,
        • event act schedule, and target user
        • when to send out an email notification upon a specific event
        • configure Live Popup for a specific event
    • updating firmware of devices
    • set up users and groups
      • create/manage users and groups
      • grant different levels of access privileges to different user groups
      • grant access to certain IP cameras for a specific user group
      • create layout, sequence, map, etc
What is the ISS Admin service?2016-11-02T11:09:37+00:00
ย 

In an ISS System, you work with many IP devices, and then a group of ISS services that provide many different features and functions. You will use ISS Client to use ISS System.

All of these services are configured using ISS Setup after logging into the ISS Admin service. Typically, you would want to limit which user groups can access these configurations using ISS Setup to change the recording schedule or event schedules.

IP cameras/video encoders using ISS protocol and ISS compatible DVRs are supported in ISS Systems. Also, ONVIF and 3rd party cameras are supported by ISS Admin service.

You can have only one ISS Admin service in one ISS System. No separate per channel License is required for ISS Admin service as long as you have an ISS Recording License.

DirectIP NVRโ€™s with dual FW copies in the NAND flash in the memory and how it works?2016-11-02T11:09:37+00:00

DirectIP NVR keeps two copies of FW and NVR setup(configuration) images on its NAND memory. Usually its first copy is used for normal operation.

Once in a while NAND Flash Memory may fail, causing the unit to fail to boot up properly to load the linux/NVR apps. When a DirectIP NVR detects 20 consecutive booting failures, it switches its active partition to the second copy to load the FW/setup properly. (It takes about 45sec for a full booting for DR-4/6100, DR-4/6200 series, so 20 rebooting will take about 15 min or so)

First try pin hole reset and if the unit still continues to reboot, wait about 15 min or so.

Can I swap eSATA storage while NVR is working?2016-10-13T11:23:25+00:00

No. Currently, eSATA ports in NVR do not support hot swapping. So, you should connect eSATA storage to NVR before NVR is powered up. Otherwise, NVR does not recognize eSATA storage. On the other hand, if ย eSATA storage is swapped out while NVR is working, NVR can detect that situation and record data to another HDD.

Is it possible to carry one HDD from a specific NVR to another and retrieve?2016-10-13T11:24:45+00:00

Yes. NVR can retrieve and display the recoded audio/video data in HDD carried from another NVR.

However, NVR classifies another NVRโ€™s HDD to โ€˜other HDDโ€™ type and does not support data recording until the HDD is formatted. That is, if you want to record data to the HDD carried from another NVR, you should back up data in HDD to alternative storage device if needed, then format the HDD.

What kind of methods can I use with my ATM/POS machine to be integrated with NVR?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
To communicate with ATM/POS machine, NVRs have various hardware ports such as RS232C, USB, and RJ45 ethernet port, and some NVRs have RS485 port additionally.

With regard to data protocols, NVR basically supports Epson, VistaATM, XApCom232, XApComIP protocols. Also, at generic text mode, user can set the transaction start/end text and line delimiter by user defined characters. You can select the hardware port and protocols on the NVRโ€™s setup menu. For more detail configuration, please refer to the โ€˜Text-Inโ€™ configuration in each NVRโ€™s manual.

Can I use other brandโ€™s network camera with NVR? And, which kind of cameras is supported?2016-10-13T11:30:57+00:00

Yes. Our NVRs support the Axis, Panasonic, and OnVIF network protocols for other brandโ€™s network cameras. So if your camera has one of the protocols mentioned above, it can be used with our NVRs though the performance is not as good as the DirectIP cameras. Of course, our non-DirectIP network cameras can connect with our NVRs.

Can I use my existing analog cameras with NVR?2016-10-13T11:32:23+00:00

Yes. you can use conventional analog cameras with the NVR by adding network video encoders.

The network video encoder such as DE-1101 converts an analog video signal to a network video signal, and supports the DirectIP protocol.

If you use the network video encoder supporting DirectIP protocol, analog cameras can communicate with NVR by DirectIP protocol.

What is the audio codec technology used in NVR?2016-10-13T11:33:33+00:00

Currently, G.711 or G.726 audio codec standard technology has been applied in our NVR. Please refer to the A&E specification for audio codec information applied in each NVR product.

What does a โ€˜Network Throughputโ€™ mean on the NVR?2016-10-13T11:34:59+00:00

A network throughput on the NVR means local and remote multimedia data transmission rate on the network port in the NVR. For example, if maximum network throughput for local multimedia data recording and monitoring are 200Mbps and 50Mbps, respectively, and maximum network throughput for remote multimedia data transmission is 10Mbps, then maximum network throughput on the NVR is 260Mbps, which is calculated as the sum of local and remote multimedia data throughput. Using a network throughput, total number of IP cameras connected at a NVR can be determined for real time video monitoring and recording. That is, a network throughput is an important information to design and construct the NVR based network surveillance system.

What cable/connections do I need on the NVR?2016-10-13T11:36:15+00:00

Most NVRs have RJ45 female connectors on the back. You need to connect UTP cableโ€™s RJ45 male connector to NVRโ€™s RJ45 female connector directly. Also, you connect the cable correctly according to the WAN or LAN. For WAN, you should connect the UTP cable to the public area network port. While for LAN, you should connect the UTP cable to the local or private area network port. Mostly, CAT-5 UTP cable is used for connecting IP cameras, and CAT-5e or more higher level UTP cable is used for connecting network switching hub.

What is the difference between Standalone NVR and PC-based NVR?2016-10-13T11:39:00+00:00

What is a NVR (Network Video Recorder)?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
A Network Video Recorder (NVR) is a internet protocol (IP) based video surveillance system or software that is designed to record and playback the video from IP cameras. Unlike DVRs (Digital Video Recorder), typically NVRs do not have video compression engines on board for the video is digitized, processed and compressed by its IP cameras, and then transmitted to the NVRs over IP network. But, the NVRs should decode both live video stream and playback video stream.

Usually, the NVRs support multi-channel video display, flexible recording schedule with different video profile with playback capability, a user friendly GUI, intelligent event detection and notification, remote monitoring and control, and PTZ camera control, etc.

There is a similar, but different network video recorders called Network Storage Recorders(NSRs). Typically, NSRs do not have video output, and all the operations are done over the IP network. So you need to use a PC to access the live or recorded video.

What is SMART (S.M.A.R.T.)?2016-10-13T11:42:15+00:00

SMART(Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a feature provided by HDD. It monitors possible conditions that the HDD has been exposed to, or status for HDD errors.

Your DVR can be configured to set the SMART information check schedule and condition. It can send alarm out or notification on SMART error.

If you see SMART error messages, it may be a good idea to change the HDD. Because it means your HDD could be damaged.

How to update IP cameraโ€™s firmware?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
The firmware files are different from each type of cameras. You have to prepare firmware files(.rui) that is suitable for the camera.

1) From DirectIP NVR

In Setup > Camera > Upgrade >, you can upgrade cameras directly from NVR. Firmware files should be stored in USB memory stick which has been put into the NVR.

2) From IDIS Discovery

To upgrade the camera from IDIS Discovery, both PC and Camera must be in the same subnet. Verify IP address first before trying to upgrade. The menu for upgrade can be found from the Management in top menu bar.

How to display an analog video (CVBS) output of IP camera?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
Some Network cameras have CVBS analog video output port to be seen through a portable monitor. It is utilized for making image more focused and setting view angle. When the camra operates in IDIS protocol, Video format between NTSC and PAL is selectable in Setup > Video > Camera > Miscellaneous > .

In case of WDR camera,

There is a condition to output the analog signal. CVBS analog video signal might not be generated from the camera. Itโ€™s limitation of SoC chip on WDR camera.

If 4th stream is not set (only 3 streams is operating), CVBS will perform well. In DirectIP NVR, if the custom field for recording is not set, CVBS will be outputted.

Infrared-ray wavelength shich is used with IR camera?2016-10-13T11:55:54+00:00

850nm Infrared-ray is exposed from the IR-LED. In general, humanity can see wavelength up to 780nm (visible light : 380nm ~ 780nm)

There are contact Alarm In/Out on the DirectIP cameras. Do DirectIP NVRs work with this? And then how?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
Some DirectIP cameras have built-in alarm in/out port. Normally, alarm input has TTL voltage level and NC/NO programmable. Alarm output only supports the NO mode with relay output. With reference to the alarm in/out specification, you can connect your alarm devices such as smoke sensor or fire alarm to the alarm in/out port on DirectIP camera.

DirectIP NVRs can set and use the each DirectIP cameraโ€™s alarm in/out ports as well as NVRโ€™s alarm in/out ports.

For using alarm input device connected in DirectIP, you should select [Setup]-[Event]-[Alarm-In] menu sequentially. Then you can select the alarm input device connected in DirectIP as event signal channel.

For using alarm output device connected in DirectIP, you should select [Setup]-[Device]-[Alarm-Out] menu sequentially, Then you can select the alarm output device connected in DirectIP as alarm output channel.

Using the above setup configuration, you can use external alarm devices directly wired to the Camera input which will be seen by the system as if it were connected to the NVR directly.

How do I configure the DirectIP cameras? Do I use a specific tools? or do I configure the DirectIP cameras from DirectIP NVRs?2016-10-13T12:00:23+00:00

DirectIP cameras can be configured by IDIS Discovery software and DirectIP NVRs. our INIT software help you find and configure your camera with fast and easy. Also if DirectIP cameras are connected to DirectIP NVRs, you can easily configure multiple DirectIP cameras on NVRโ€™s setup menu. If you set multiple camera configurations on NVR, all changed parameters will be passed to each DirectIP camera immediately.

Do DirectIP cameras have OSD menu?2016-10-13T12:02:49+00:00

No. DirectIP cameras have no OSD menu. So, you should configure the DirectIP using our NVR, IDIS Solution Suite, IDIS Center, or IDIS Discovery software.

Do DirectIP cameras have spot output?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
Many DirectIP cameras have spot output and see the NTSC/PAL D1 resolution image to be able to see the image during installation. But, some cameras do not support spot output. So, you should check whether your cameras support spot output or not.
Spot output ports are broken into two types โ€“ RCA and terminal block. If you want to use spot output, you should check spot output port type of your camera.
Spot output on DC-X1XXX series camera works until the camera is registered to a DirectIP NVR.
Can I use DirectIP cameras with other 3rd party NVRs?2016-10-13T12:06:24+00:00

If you connect DirectIP cameras to non-DirectIP NVR or VMS, you should change DirectIP cameraโ€™s protocol to ONVIF protocol using our INIT (Integrated Network Installation Tool) software. If the cameras are rebooted after the protocol is changed, DirectIP camera will operate an ONVIF camera.

Can I get a same level of performance with 3rd party IP cameras โ€“ not using DirectIP protocol?2016-10-13T12:08:41+00:00

Itโ€™s difficult to get a same level of performance with 3rd party cameras. Generally, with regard to transmitting video stream to DirectIP NVRs, 3rd party cameras have lower performance than DirectIP cameras. Because DirectIP protocol has specific multiple stream channels and their video profile and frame rate adjustment technology to satisfy optimal performance of video data transmission for live monitoring, recording, playing, and remote transmitting. So, if you connect 3rd party cameras with our NVRs, the benifits of DirectIP protocols are disappeared.

What is the IK rating?2016-11-02T11:09:38+00:00
The IK rating classifies the level of protection that electrical appliances provide against mechanical impacts from outside. It is defined by standard IEC 62262. The degree of mechanical protection is identified by a code that consists of the letters IK followed by two digits:
Code Impact Energy Test
00 Non-protected
01 0.15 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 7.5 cm
02 0.20 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 10 cm
03 0.35 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 17.5 cm
04 0.50 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 25 cm
05 0.70 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 200 grams thrown from a distance of 35 cm
06 1.00 joule Resistant against an impact from an object of 500 grams thrown from a distance of 20 cm
07 2.00 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 500 grams thrown from a distance of 40 cm
08 5.00 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 1.7 kg thrown from a distance of 29.5 cm
09 10.00 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 5 kg thrown from a distance of 20 cm
10 20.00 joules Resistant against an impact from an object of 5 kg thrown from a distance of 40 cm
What is Smart IR?2016-11-02T11:09:41+00:00
Normally, when a camera uses infrared LED arrays for wide area illumination at night, you may see the over exposure image when the object is closed to IR camera.

Smart IR technology automatically adjusts IR intensity according to proximity, and eliminates object over exposure caused by strong illumination. Smart IR is useful to identify a personโ€™s face or an object movement at night.

What about indoor vs outdoor models? what are the main differences?2016-10-13T12:20:07+00:00

Surveillance cameras can be classified as indoor and outdoor models according to installation place. The main difference between two models is whether the camera is weather-proof or not. That is, outdoor camera does completely protect the inner material from weather like wind, rain, moisture, dust, snow, and humidity. Some outdoor cameras should have heater or blowers for temperature resistance. On the other hand, indoor cameras do not require weather-proof or temperature resistance except critical places which get high humidity or high/low temperature.

In addition, outdoor cameras require infrared or TDN (true day/night) technology more than indoor cameras for night vision capability.

What is DOF? And, What is difference between deep DOF and shallow DOF?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
DOF (Depth of Field) refers to the range of distance that the subject appears acceptably sharp. DOF is determined by several factors such as aperture size, lens to subject distance, lens focal length, and image sensor size.

Generally, the following conditions result in a deep DOF.

โ€“ small or narrow aperature size (large f number)

โ€“ long distance between lens and subject

โ€“ short focal length

โ€“ small image sensor size (small image format)

A shallow DOF has reverse condition of a deep DOF.

What is ICR, TDN, and DDN?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
ICR (Infrared Cut Filter) is used with color CCD or CMOS image sensors to produce accurate color images. During the day, the camera uses an ICR to reflect or block mid-infrared wavelengths while passing visible lights. However, as light diminishes below a certain level, some cameras can automatically turn off ICR functionality to deliver high-quality, black and white image using infrared light.

TDN (True Day/Night) technology supports night vision capability by implementing a physical ICR that is removed by a mechanical motor.

DDN (Digital Day/Night) technology allows for viewing in both day and night conditions, without the use of a ICR. As light diminishes below a certain level, DDN technology switches color image to black and white image to offer similar benefits to TDN with a lower cost. At night, the captured image depends on the lighting and infrared waves off objects.

What does IRE mean when quoted with lux light levels for surveillance cameras?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
IRE stands for Insitute of Radio Engineers, and represents the composite video signal in percentage terms. That is, 100 IRE equals 100% full signal level which means 714mV amplitude active video signal.

Generally, 30 IRE is a minimum value for a detailed and acceptable image.

Most cameras represent the lux level that maximum amplitude of video signal is 30% or 50% of original amplitude.

How can IDIS device detect the audio input event?2016-10-13T12:27:20+00:00

For audio detection, the device (ex. DirectIP camera) calculates the average power of audio signal that is transmitted for specific times (6.5 seconds).

If current audio signalโ€™s power is much higher than the power threshold of audio signal (based on the average power of audio signal), then audio detection is enabled.

That is,

  1. Gather audio signal for 6.5 seconds
  2. Calculate the average power of audio signal
  3. Compare current power of audio signal with the power threshold of audio signal
  4. Decide whether audio is detected or not.

The threshold of power level is determined by the audio sensitivity level.

* Sensitivity level 1: two times (6dB) higher than the average power of audio signal

โ€ฆโ€ฆ..

* Sensitivity level 5: 1.2 times (1.6dB) higher than the average power of audio signal

How to check the current external IP address?2018-11-12T13:14:04+00:00
Externel IP address means the IP address on the public internet side. Commonly our PC might has the internal IP address range which is assigned from gateway such as NAT(Network address translation).

NAT help us to use one public internet IP over many network devices.

The reason that you have to check the external IP address is that it is needed to connect the NVR or camera from the internet. The client uses the external IP to reach the target.

You can check the external IP address if you visit the following sites.

http://whatismyipaddress.com

http://www.whatsmyip.org

What is DDNS?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
DDNS is Dynamic DNS(Domain Name System).

ISP(Internet Service Provider) is changing periodically a IP address to use limited IP range effectively. To maintain the connectivity with the server anytime, the client has to know the IP address of the server. But itโ€™s not easy to track the IP address which is being changed constantly. Therefore, DDNS is needed.
DDNS always track and keep the available IP address of the server. When the client inquire the information to connect the server, DDNS service respond to a request. So that the client can connect to the server correctly with the connection information.

How do I make a Cat5, Cat5e of Cat6 patch or crossover cable?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
To minimize packet loss, the wiring have to be aligned exactly accoding to the standard.

The ordinaly alignment is called 568A and 568B. It was established by TIA(Telecomunications Industry Association)/EIA(Electronic Industries Alliance).

Cable alignment 568A and 568B are below.

Pin T568A Color T568B Color Pins on patch cord
1 white/green stripe white/orange stripe ย connector
2 green solid orange solid
3 white/orange stripe white/green stripe
4 blue solid blue solid
5 white/blue stripe white/blue stripe
6 orange solid green solid
7 white/brown stripe white/brown stripe
8 brown solid brown solid

If the both end patch are assambled as T568B, the cable can be used for ordinary LAN cable for CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6.

In case of crossover cable, one of patch cords shall be type of T568A, another one shall be type of T568B. Nowadays most ethernet adaptors support to recognize the type of the connector between T568A and T568B.

A case of IDIS Discovery Tool is detetcted as Trojan virus?2016-10-17T09:01:29+00:00
On several anti-virus programs, IDIS Discovery tool has been detected as a malware and Trojan virus.
This is due to one of the files in IDIS Discovery is decreased in size as it runs, and it gives a misunderstanding to some anti-virus software.
If you are experiencing such a problem, please try IDIS Discovery 4.0.6 or higher version, to which a resolution is applied.
What should I do when video is not displayed at all on a monitor?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
If you canโ€™t see any images on a monitor, please check the following points.

โ€“ Check the monitor is turned on and video input cable is connected to the NVR correctly. Also, check whether the monitor cable has no defect.

โ€“ Check the display mode of monitor is set to the input source (HDMI or VGA) correctly.

โ€“ Restart NVR and check the video is displayed on the monitor within 3 minutes. If NVR is restarted, the video resolution is adjusted automatically though video resolution between NVR and monitor is not same.

โ€“ If you have another monitor, replace the monitor and restart NVR. If the video is still not displayed on another monitor properly, please report the problem to our customer support person.

Is it going to be a problem when I use PoE and DC power together?2016-10-17T09:05:27+00:00

Normally, NVRs or network switching hubs are PSEs (Power Sourcing Equipments) and have no consideration about the PoE and DC power because they generates the PoE power using DC power and have no collision between PoE and DC power.

However, cameras are PDs (Powered Devices) and should select one of PoE or DC power if both powers are supplied. So, if both PoE and DC power are supplied to the camera, the camera use DC power first, and send power status message to PSE via signal lines, then PSE recognizes that the camera use DC power and stop supplying PoE power to the camera.

Is DirectIPโ„ข plug & play?2016-11-02T11:09:42+00:00
Yes. DirectIP supports plug and play functionality. If you connect the cameraโ€™s cable to NVRโ€™s DirectIP port, you can see the cameraโ€™s image on the monitor connected with NVR. However, NVR shows the cameraโ€™s image sequentially according to cameraโ€™s connection sequence regardless of NVRโ€™s DirectIP port number. So, if you want to fit image display sequence to NVRโ€™s DirectIP port number, you may rearrange the display sequence of NVRโ€™s video image.
