Part 1 – Introduction

Product Features

IDIS Solution Suite has been developed for recording, searching, and monitoring images from network video devices
and offers the following features:
•• Remote monitoring of live images
•• Remote monitoring of live images in multiple Client systems through a streaming service (the number of channels
that can be streamed equals the number of channels that can be recorded unless streaming WIBU-Keys have been
added)
•• Stable streaming by using the load balancing function in installation with more than one streaming server
•• Video analytics of live images through a video analytics service
•• Up to 64 simultaneous connections to the IDIS Solution Suite system
•• Software upgrades and multiple systems setup remotely (supported only for devices which provide the functions)
•• Display of system log information (supported only for devices which use the IDIS Solution Suite protocol)
•• Map monitoring of live images
•• Centralized system operation and management and event handling
•• Decompression algorithm for H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG
•• Enhanced security using the SSL function
•• Two-way audio communication and audio broadcasting
•• Enhanced security by setting up different authorities for each user group
•• Controllable with a network keyboard
•• Text-in and alarm function via TCP networking
•• Intuitive GUI
•• The following are supported only for network cameras and network video transmitters:
-- Recording of video and playback of the recorded video
-- Multiple recording servers for advanced recording performance
-- Instant Recording of monitored images
-- Audio recording
-- Stable recording using proprietary video database file system
•• The following are supported only for DVRs:
-- Playback of video recorded in DVRs
-- Remote control of panic recording

8
 Part 1 – Introduction

•• Number of services and devices that can be registered and channels that recording, streaming, video analytics and
video wall are available for:
-- Service Registration: One monitoring service, one to four streaming services, 32 video analytics services, 64
recording services, 64 recording redundant services, 64 backup services, 4 video wall services, the same number
of failover services as administration, monitoring, recording and video wall services. The number of streaming
services that can be registered differs depending on the type and number of WIBU-Keys purchased. Backup, video
wall, recording redundant, and failover services are sold separately.
-- Device Registration: Maximum of 1,024 devices including devices which do not use the IDIS Solution Suite
protocol (The devices which do not use the IDIS Solution Suite protocol can be registered up to the maximum
number of available recording channels. For example, if your IDIS Solution Suite software supports four-channel
recording, up to four devices that do not use the IDIS Solution Suite protocol can be registered.)
-- Recording (not supported for DVRs): Maximum of four to 256 channels depending on the type and number of the
WIBU-Keys (up to 256 channels per recording server with up to 64 recording servers)
-- Streaming: The number of channels that can be streamed equals the number of channels that can be recorded
unless streaming WIBU-Keys have been added (maximum of 512 to 2,048 channels depending on the type and
number of the WIBU-Keys when WIBU-Keys have been added).
-- Video Analytics: Up to 8 channels per video analytics service are available.

•• Ask your dealer or distributor about the number of channels that can be recorded or streamed using your IDIS Solution
Suite software. If the device is a four-channel network video transmitter which uses the IDIS Solution Suite protocol, all
four cameras are counted even if some of the four cameras are disabled, and four channels per network video transmitter
are deducted from the number of channels available for recording, streaming and video analytics.
•• Several types of WIBU-Keys are available and support different numbers of channels for streaming, recording or backup.
You can increase the number of channels by buying a license file increasing the number of channels supported by a
WIBU-Key or by buying additional WIBU-Keys. Refer to Service Manager (36 page) for details about the license file.
•• The IDIS Solution Suite Backup and IDIS Solution Suite Federation software are supported to allow you to build better
surveillance systems. The IDIS Solution Suite Recording Redundant and IDIS Solution Suite Failover software are
supported to enhance system stability. Ask your dealer or distributor about purchasing the software and details about it.
•• This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.
org/).
•• The software included in this product contains some Open Sources. You may obtain the complete corresponding source
code from us. See the Open Source Guide on the software CD (OpenSourceGuide\OpenSourceGuide.pdf ) or as a printed

running, monitoring is still available, but it is restricted
to fewer users based on the maximum number of
simultaneous connections supported by the device.

When you register more than one streaming service

by buying additional WIBU-Keys, the IDIS Solution
Suite program distributes streaming workload to the
several streaming servers by using the load balancing
function, and it increases monitoring stability. If one of
the streaming servers stops operating for any system
problem, other streaming servers take that server’s
place within the limit of the number of channels that
can be streamed.

There is no difference in the way to monitor video

Schedule Setup Examples of Event Recording

Event recording may not be supported depending on the protocol that the device uses and device model (supported
protocols: IDIS Solution Suite protocol, some versions of the Axis/Panasonic WV (DG)/IQinVision/Samsung Techwin/
ONVIFTM Conformance protocols). Ask your dealer or distributor for details.

Example I

If motion detection events are detected at camera 1 on the Inside 1 device, and you want to record video from that
camera, set up as follows:

•• Time Coverage preset: Select the Always preset.

•• Condition preset

-- Select Target to produce event and event type: Select All Devices, Inside 1, and CAM1 in order.
-- Event Types: Select Motion Detection.
-- Action preset: Select a desired Preset.
•• Target preset: Select the Same cameras that triggered an event option.

Example II

If motion detection events are detected at camera 1 on the Inside 1 device, and you want to record video from that
camera and camera 1 of the Inside 2 device, set up as follows:

-- Select Target to produce event and event type: Select All Devices, Inside 1, and CAM1 in order.
-- Event Types: Select Motion Detection.
-- Action preset: Select a desired Preset.
•• Target preset: Release the Same cameras that triggered an event option → Select CAM1 of the Inside 1 device
and CAM1 of the Inside 2 device from the All Devices list.

Example of Event Recording Period

If motion detection events are detected at camera 1 on the Inside 1 device, and you want to record video from that
camera and camera 1 of the Inside 2 device, set up as follows:

•• Recording Schedule menu > Action schedule window –

Duration: 30 Second

•• Device menu – button > Edit Device

> Event tab – Dwell Time: 30 Minute

* This dwell time setup is supported only for devices which

do not use the IDIS Solution Suite protocol and which event
related functions are supported for.

When the event recording duration is set to 30 second and the event dwell time is set to 30 minute, and event occurs
at 1 o’clock, the recording period is as follows:
Protocol Event Release Notification Time from Device Recording Period
IDIS Solution Suite N/A 1 o’clcok ~ 1:30
