Video Plug and Play Setup Guide - Hanwha Wisenet Wave

1.0 Introduction

From Doors.NET v5.0.0 onwards, Keri Systems offers a new Video Plug-and-Play option that replaces the previous Reflections™ video program. The feature allows you to add a multitude of camera models from several manufacturers. Once cameras are added to Doors.NET you can associate a camera with readers, inputs or outputs and trigger a live video stream from events are generated from the linked hardware. For example, door forced events from a reader or input alarm events from a monitor point. Typically, the default camera settings can be used for streaming live video.

You can also use Doors.NET to associate system alerts with recorded video (based on the event timestamp) - Note that the camera video recording must be enabled and configured based on what recording options the camera offers.

The older Reflections™ video program will be removed from the current Doors.NET installation should it be detected during a Doors.NET software upgrade process.

Note: If you wish to continue using the Reflections™ video client then Doors.NET v4.9.0 is the last available supported version.

This document explains how to connect to a Hanwha Wisenet Wave server and to add an individual camera. 

Important Note: The Hanwha Wisenet Wave integration connects to an existing Wisenet Wave system. Keri Systems cannot provide technical assistance or guidance in regards to getting a Wisenet Wave system up-and-running or specifying the required video equipment.
 

2.0 Notes About Video Recording

  • There is no guarantee that recorded video exists at the camera for the Doors.NET event timestamp - some cameras are edge devices that may or not have an SD card for video storage or may not have recording enabled in the camera settings.
  • The video recordings are NOT stored in the Doors.NET client - they are retrieved from the camera's recorded video storage location.
  • Typically, video recordings are saved to the NVR or a cloud source. Video recording is enabled and configured using the VMS or via a web browser.
  • If the video source does have recorded video, the playback stream starts at the event time (controller time) - the pre event time (default is 10 seconds) and continues up to event time + post event (default 10 seconds). So a 20 second playback (+/- 10 seconds from event time) is the default.
  • Doors.NET looks for the source of the video recordings - which may be either via an on-board SD card or the NVR or a cloud source.
  • The video playback timestamp is provided by DNET either from Live Events, Reports, or History. The timestamp passed into the plugin is the controller time along with the pre and post event times setup for that camera. Each camera can have different values for pre and post.
