PSMOVE For Windows

Description 

The purpose of this KB is to help run PS MOVE and where to place the files on a system.

Product 

PSMOVE.exe
Exacq Server 23.03 and above.

File Location: 

Windows:
Place psmove.exe in the Server folder.
Open powershell or command promt as ADMIN.
cd C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Server and place the psmove.exe into the server folder.

Linux: ETA not available yet.

NOTE: When Running on Windows AND Linux PSMOVE must be in the sever folder because it depends on the libraries installed with server.

Running PSmove on Windows: 

Once the psmove.exe is in the Server location seen above, you can run the following command to execute it.

In command prompt or powershell type the following
cd C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Server

Then type:
psmove -r-


Additional Information and KB’s for reference

  1. It defaults to report-only mode. psmove -r- will move files.
  2. It will open a ps file and get the first frame timestamp and determine the correct hour directory for the file, based on the CURRENT timezone. If the file is not in the correct hour directory, it will rename it to put it in the correct directory.
  3. Collision avoidance: If there is already a file in the destination directory of the same name, it will decrement the timestamp by one second, generate the new name and try again. Only the file name is changed, not the file content.
  4. The reporting is still pretty slim. report-only mode when specifying a “path” doesn’t currently count what “would” be moved correctly. When moving, it will count the hours and files that were moved.
  5. The default mode is to check all volumes. It will locate all of the media in the y/m/d/h directories. report-only mode will count correctly.
  6. It does not delete empty files. With newer versions of ev there shouldn’t be any. It will report empty files. An empty file cannot be checked for the correct directory. It’s empty and, therefore; doesn’t have a first frame timestamp.
    So, on a server that recorded in one timezone and then changes timezones, PSmove will get the files in the correct hour directories. All of the content should then be searchable.
  7. We’ve reduced the dependencies to the minimum, there are still dependencies. PSmove will only work with the server for that version and later after the compiler upgrade.

TDVR Capture Card Faulty Board

Description 

There were reports of capture cards working for upwards of 10 minutes and then would fail to produce video in live views. We have identified the issue and made the proper corrections. If this is seen on a system please follow the instructions below to identify if the board is affected. Then take the appropriate steps to set up a RMA with support to get a new card shipped for replacement.

Product 

  • Exacq Servers A and Q series.
  • exacqVision 23.03 up to 24.03

Steps to Reproduce 

If a Capture card is exhibiting these symptoms then please identify the stamp on the card seen below.

These instructions provide step by step procedure for replacing a tDVR analog card in the Q-Series / A-Series Desktop chassis.   Before changing the board, be sure that the system is unplugged from any power source and the system is placed on a clean anti-static surface. Faulty PCB board can be identified by the manufacture marking HTG on the back of the board centered near the top.  Replacement cards will have a CTX marking seen below.

Tools Required:
Phillips Screwdriver
5MM 1/4″ hexdriver

  1.  Remove top cover screws on both side of the chassis.

2. Remove two top cover screws and three card mounting bracket screws.

3. Remove top Cover and pull out tDVR card by pulling straight up.                                                                                                                           

4. Disassemble the mounting bracket from the card by removing two hex nuts.  

5. Attach the replacement card to the bracket and assemble the system by reversing the steps above.

To test the new board, boot the system and open client and verify 16 port display in live view.  

Solution

We found that a component was change during manufacturing which was found to be faulty and we have the proper components now that have been validated and working.

Samsung PNM-C34404RQPZ Connection Issues

Description 

There have been several reports of connection issues with the Samsung PNM-C34404RQPZ. Reports of the units rebooting upon connecting it to the client and which plugin to utilize.


Product 

Exacq Server 24.03.7.0
Camera Info: Samsung PNM-C34404RQPZ
FW used: 23.01.04_20240417_R650

https://www.exacq.com/integration/ipcams/#getCameraRecord=901b747e-fcbf-5464-7543-5aeb7ae3afe8~nstep_id=step-3

Steps to Reproduce 

In the Client go to Add IP Cameras under the configuration. Add the first set of fixed camera’s as you would normally do for any camera.
Add the PTZ camera using the method seen below with the override.

Expected Results 

Camera should connect and work as designed.

Actual Results 

Some reports experience the camera rebooting during connection due to the none use of the power supply that is shipped with the unit. The Power supply must be used.

When connecting the camera as Hanwha or Samsung Plugin on older FW 23.01.03_20240119_R528 will connect but it was reported that motion was not working.

Solution

Update Exacq Server to 24.03.7.0 or above.
Use FirmWare 23.01.04_20240417_R650.
Add PTZ sensor manually using ipaddress#bank=2
Add the camera as Hanwha or Samsung device type.
Make sure the power adapter is of correct specification for proper functioning of the camera. Refer to the camera data sheet.


NOTE:
We have noticed Hanwha has started changing the gov size down to the framerate when users lower the framerate, but not the other way around.

If a user attempts to change a setting while the HTTPS connection is still being attempted, the camera has trouble sending data.

To check this, Log Into the camera web page and verify the GOV size is set to frame rate or higher. Out of the box they are set to 2x framerate. For example- 30fps 60GOV.
