50 Software Q. What is the ISS Admin service? 2015-07-06
A.

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.

48 Video Recorder Q. DirectIP NVRs with Dual FW copies in the NAND Flash memory and how it works 2015-07-06
A.

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 rebooting 20 failures will take about 15 min or so)

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