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 otherโs certificates to the stored certificates. If the certificates match, both devices are confirmed by each other, the communication session is established.
Please contact your local distributor or IDIS office where you bought IDIS products from.
We will guide you to find your password without losing any recorded data.

The existing DirectIP 1.0 protocol has two modes, DirectIP mode and IDIS mode. You have to reboot the camera to change each mode.
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.
IDIS Solution Suite has no limit on the number of registered e-mail addresses.
However, e-mail recipients may be restricted depending on the mail server settings.
For example, if you store 100 e-mail recipients in IDIS Solution Suite, but the mail server limits the number of 30 e-mail recipients to be sent at one time, only 30 e-mails will be sent.
As of version 3.1.0, the auto search function has been added.
If you enter a search term in the search box which is located upper right side of the Service, Device, User tab of the ISS Setup window, the subject title corresponding to the search term is automatically completed.

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 itโs 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 โ2019-05-28 / 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.
If you place the mouse pointer on the upper right signal icon of the main frame, you can check the percentage of CPU, RAM (workset), and the page file quota in real time. This feature is available on iRAS/IDIS Center v4.8.0 or higher.
ISS event logs are stored on the server where each ISS service occurred. That is, ISS event logs stored on the PC where the ISS service is installed.
However, if the server is malfunctioning, the history is stored in Service manager> log. Because the server cannot save log.
The maximum file size of the event log is 256 MB.
4 and 5 megapixel cameras are not automatically recognized when connected to a TVI recorder, so you must manually select the mode in the camera settings.
Each odd and even channel are grouped(1 โ 2, 3 โ 4, 5 โ 6, โฆ, 15, 16 channels work in pairs respectively), and when one channel is selected, the other channel in a group is deactivated.
As a result, half of the maximum channels in a TVI recorder in live view and playback are used.
In the case of high-resolution analog cameras, a 16 channel TVI recorder uses 8 channels only, for 8 port TVI recorder uses up to 4 channels.
Please refer to the below table. This table is from the Installation Guide.
For reference, the LED draws its signal from โSATA / RAID controllerโ, not HDD S.M.A.R.T. information.
The DR-2100 / 2200/4100/4200/6100/6200 series can reduce the number of channels that can be registered when a high-resolution camera is registered.
However, later models, DR-2300 / 4300/6300 series can register as many channels as they can.
Auto Deletion: You can automatically delete all recorded data after a certain period of time. The recorded data is automatically deleted every day at midnight, It will also be deleted if you change the automatic delete setting.
Limit time-Lapse Recording: According to the type-lap recording (time recording) schedule among the recording data past the set period. Only the recorded data is deleted automatically.
You can do remote control through IDIS Center after registering HE-1101 from the NVR models below. (As of March 2019)

They can be connected. How to register them to the NVRs is the same as registering a camera in DirectIP 1.0 protocol.
The default is DirectIP mode. If you use Static IP, change to IDIS mode.
Basically, NVR takes 3 watches and 1 search if one client does Live / Playback at the same time.
IDIS Center connected to an NVR will use 1 Watch session to view the live video and the monitoring service will also take a Watch connection if Device real-Time monitoring is checked.
The Heatmap function is applied to brand new IP cameras, please check specification first before you try to set it up.
How to enable heatmap :
โ camera menu > Event > Heatmap setting.
But if Heatmap is used, SD Card recording feature cannot be used.
In use of Long Reach PoE function
Please be aware that bandwidth of DA-LP1101R/T is decreased to 10/100Mbps in use of Long Reach PoE function.
Not in use of Long Reach PoE function
*The value may change depending on the power, cable and PoE device you use

Simple registration using QR codes is available for registrations with both FEN and IP address.
IDIS Center or IDIS Solution Suite Client can have maximum 4 Live tabs.
IDIS Center with 4 Live tabs give you a small video wall by separate tabs to each monitor
However thereโs limitation on the number of tabs to create depending on Windows OS.
โ 32bit OS: Maximum 2 tabs
โ 64bit OS: Maximum 4 tabs
It was playable at a certain time even though there is no data on Timetable at that time. What was the problem ?
In case that a HDD has bad sectors and those sectors might corrupt time information in recorded data with a low possibility. This makes some recorded data invisible on Timetable.
To fix this, pelease execute โReconsturctโ feature in IDIS Solution Suite Setup.
The feature is to newly build time information table out of recorded data. The task of reconstructing time information is going to be running in the background.
Only way to turn off/on the recorders is to plug in/out power cable.
The recorders donโt have power switch or a UI on their software to power off. This is to remove a possibility that users accidentally press power switch off or click a power off button, resulting in a recording service halt.
A Password is created and encrypted so we cannot tell you what password it was.
We strongly recommend you to either configure SMTP to get verification code or keep User Password Reset File in a USB stick for creating a new password on the initial login.
โFind PWโ feature is described in detail in the manuals of DR-8300, 6300, 4300 and 2300 series.
The manual for DR-8364 series says โFor stable video transmission, it is recommended to connect less than 32 network cameras or video encoders to a single Video In port.โ What does this mean ?
A DR-8364 series NVR has video input ports which consists of two SFP ports and three RJ45 ports.
Not to place too much load on one RJ45 port, please distribute channels onto switches and connect each switch to each different RJ45 port as the image below shows.
Be aware of that connecting more than one RJ45 port to a same switch can create packet loop, so please separate links from each port.
IDIS TVI recorders have Standard, High, Very High categories for selecting resolution. What resolution each category is?
Please refer to the table below.
Auto Tracking is a feature tracing movements made by objects such as human or vehicles.
Without manual control by a human, a camera automatically finds movements using PTZ.
The feature is mostly used for restricted area where movement is rarely expected.

There are three ways to playback recorded data in a SD card, which are listed below.
1) Access directly to the camera with the SD card through IDIS Web.
2) Register the camera with the SD card to IDIS Center and access the camera.
3)ย Put the SD card into a PC and run IDIS Center for iHDP to playback.
Please be aware that NVRs cannot playback recorded data in SD cards of a camera.
DC-S3583HRX and DC-S3883HRX are new speed dome camera models. These speed dome cameras take more PoE power consumption than the existing speed dome camera models.
Power consumption of the popular speed dome models DC-S1263 and DC-S1283 series ranges from 10.6W to 24.3W(Heater on). However, DC-S3583HRX and DC-S3883HRX takes maximum 68.6W with heaters and IR LEDs on.
So common PoE switches with IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at cannot provide enough power for the cameras.
Please consider using the power adaptor provided in the package of the cameras or PoE injectors capable of satisfying power consumption of the cameras.

The ANPR Server Specification is determined by the following procedure.
- First, check which country your customer site is located in, and check the number of lanes required for license plate recognition.
- Check the required score for it in the table below.
- Check the appropriate CPU at cpubenchmark.net
- Use 16GB or a higher memory card.
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
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.
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.
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.
Combinations of blinking status of Panic LED and Alarm LED on the front panel of NVRs indicates booting sequences.
To secure maximum performance of a camera connected to a DirectIP NVR, total number of cameras depends on what resolution a camera is registered to a NVR.ย The higher resolution camera is, the more camera slots are consumed per camera.
For easier and simpler designing cameras and NVRs, please refer to the table attached below.

The most likely reason is that somebody opened up IR LED part and fiddled the Zoom lens before. Then the actual location of step motor in zoom lens and where the software thinks the step motor is are different, and the difference make one push malfunction.
To reset the Zoom lens,
1) Press โNearโ button on controller in PTZ mode on a NVR screen so that the Zoom lens can get as wide as it can get.
2) Press One Push, then it will find a right focus.
Please check if IR cut filter work.
On IR cut filter switching, you will be able to hear a clicking sound from a camera.
There are two ways to hear the sound of IR cut filter switching, one is to reboot a camera and the other is to switch the filter manually on a setup page of a camera.
As a camera boots up, it switches IR cut filter and you can hear a clicking sound.
Or, go to Remote Setup page of a camera and change IR Cut Filter option to โDaytime Modeโ so that the camera can switch the filter manually.
If you do not hear a clicking sound from a camera when you expect to hear the sound, it would be likely to be a hardware issue, please contact the distributor from who you bought the camera or IDIS Technical Support team.

By creating a userโs 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 deviceโs 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.

โ IDIS Solution Suite will support DV-1104 in a future version.
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.
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.
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, โTime Syncโ setting is necessary to automatic synchronize the time after reboot.
On DirectIP mode, the cameras do synchronize the time automatically without โTime 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, โTime Sync. This configuration can be set on remote setup of a camera.
Identifiers, numbers in square brackets in the picture below. are only available in IDIS Solution Suite Video Wall Agent and used for an IDIS Network Keyboard to select a device to control. The identifiers can increase as many as the number of devices that ISS Administration service can have registered because there is no limitation on the number of identifier.
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.
Case 1. When thereโs 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.
We provide you with a temporary password that you can login your IDIS Solution Suite to reset the password.. Before giving you a temporary password, you must send us the Secret Key of your IDIS Solution Suite first.

Of course, you can use existing switching hub, But, most non-DirectIP switching hub canโt 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 canโt 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
Multiple recording defines the stream of recording preset which can be done from Recording schedule setting > Action setting. This feature only work with IDIS cameras.
In ISS, fisheye camera is treated the same as other camera, so it only consumes 1 channel
Other failover services (Fed, Mon, VW) status can be checked from Status menu of ISS Setup.
Load balancing only work when there are more than 2 streaming services are available.
It can create a clip-copy up to 64GB with multiple files, 4GB per file.
ISS System will stop working immediately, all services will be decommissioned. ISS Client will be logged out from ISS System. You need to restart the server after plugging back the wibu key.
- 1ch license for 1 IP camera
-
1ch license for 1 1ch IP video encoder
-
1~4ch licenses for one 4ch IP video encoder, depending on how many analog cameras are using the service[1]
-
1~16ch licenses for 1 4/8/16ch IP video encoder, depending on how many analog cameras are using the service
[1] Note that this is different from Recording ch license
- 1ch license for 1 IP camera
-
1ch license for 1 1ch IP video encoder
-
4ch licenses for 1 4ch IP video encoder, regardless of how many analog cameras are using the service
-
1ch license for 1/4/8/16ch DVR/NVR
ย
- 1ch license for 1 IP camera
-
1ch license for 1 1ch IP video encoder
-
4ch Recording licenses for one 4ch IP video encoder, regardless of how many analog cameras are connected or enabled
-
since ISS systems do not record IP video streams from ISS compatible DVRs/NVRs, DVRs/NVRs do not use any Recording license.
ย
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 wonโt 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.
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
ย
ย
[1] Only supporting the setup of the ONVIF compatible parameters exposed by the ONVIF devices.
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
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.
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- 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
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 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.
You can get the latest firmware from https://www.idisglobal.solutions/downloads/.
Please ask to techsupport@idisglobal.com if the release note of firmware is needed.
All NVR models that has an eSATA port are compatible with DA-ES1104.
The HDD compatibility information is not opened to the public online site.
Please ask toย support@bnl.idisglobal.com with your NVR model name if you need the HDD compatibility for your NVR.
DR-4200 and DR-6200 series NVRs support the RAID 1 for redundant data protection. ย In addition, DA-ES1104 (IDIS eSATA Storage) can be connected to the NVR for extending the recording storage capability.
The NVR access can be protected by various authority levels; the user can add various user levels, and change them different accessing authorities. 256 users and 64 groups can be registered with various authority levels.

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.
Yes. NVR can retrieve and display the recoded audio/video data in HDD carried from another NVR.
However, NVR classifies another NVRโs HDD to โother 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.
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 NVRโs setup menu. For more detail configuration, please refer to the โText-Inโ configuration in each NVRโs manual.
Yes. Our NVRs support the Axis, Panasonic, and OnVIF network protocols for other brandโs 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.
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.
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.
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.
Most NVRs have RJ45 female connectors on the back. You need to connect UTP cableโs RJ45 male connector to NVRโs 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.
There are two types of NVRs: Standalone NVRs and PC-based NVRs. The Standalone NVRs are mostly built on Linux OS (Operating System) based system designed for embedded processors, while the PC-based NVRs are mainly MS Windows OS based system designed for PC platforms with dedicated boards for video surveillance
* Benefits of Standalone NVR
โ Usually less expensive
โ Takes less physical space (easy to hide on safe place)
โ Safer from malwares and viruses
โ Quiet in operation
โ Lower power consumption
* Benefits of a PC-based NVR
โ Gives better features such as video analysis, high-quality user interface, etc.
โ Ability to have thousands of user accounts
โ More expandable hardware and software components
โ Easily maintain, change or upgrade hardware and software components
ย
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.
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.
IDIS is providing various application to support each type of mobile phone. There are mobile app for iphone, android and window phone. Apps can be found by โidis mobileโ as searching string. IDIS Mobile supports many features of live, play, alarm control and etc.

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.
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. Itโs 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.

850nm Infrared-ray is exposed from the IR-LED. In general, humanity can see wavelength up to 780nm (visible light : 380nm ~ 780nm)
DirectIP NVRs can set and use the each DirectIP cameraโs alarm in/out ports as well as NVRโs 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.
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 NVRโs setup menu. If you set multiple camera configurations on NVR, all changed parameters will be passed to each DirectIP camera immediately.
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.
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.
If you connect DirectIP cameras to non-DirectIP NVR or VMS, you should change DirectIP cameraโs 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.
Itโs 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.

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 personโs face or an object movement at night.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 signalโs 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,
- Gather audio signal for 6.5 seconds
- Calculate the average power of audio signal
- Compare current power of audio signal with the power threshold of audio signal
- 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
โฆโฆ..
* Sensitivity level 5: 1.2 times (1.6dB) higher than the average power of audio signal
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.
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 itโs 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.
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  |
| 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.
If you are experiencing such a problem, please try IDIS Discovery 4.0.6 or higher version, to which a resolution is applied.
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.
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.
