Cloudvue Manager C2C Disk Space

Description

The disk space section in Cloudvue Manager for C2C devices returns a listing of the partitions on the camera and the microSD card.
It is equivalent to running the Linux command df -h

SD Card Status

Green – Healthy

Ideally the SD card will show a status of green with a message of SD Card is Healthy. Also the Use% for /dev/sdcard1 mounted as /media/sd1 should be at or below 90%.

Red – No SD Card

If a microSD card has not been been inserted into the camera then the status will be red and the SD Card Message will say “No SD Card”. In addition there will not be a line for the mount point /media/sd1 listed in the disk space results.

Red – SD Card is not formatted correctly. Format it as vfat

While in this state the SD Card will not mount and video will not record to the SD Card. Verify the C2C is running the most recent version of Cloudvue Software and if not update. Reboot the device and check the status. If the issue persists then check the camera firmware version to see if an update is available. Update the cameras firmware.

Red – SD Card Unsupported

A status of Unsupported means that Health Check cannot read the status of the microSD Card.  This is typically because the card is either not manufactured by Western Digital or is a model which is not supported by Health Check.  It is not a statement as to the overall functionality of the SD card but if Health Check can check the status of the card.  Further investigation is needed to figure out if the card is working normally. 

Verification

To determine if the SD card is working normally.

  • Update the C2C device to Cloudvue Software version 23.09.x or higher
  • Run Health Check
  • Check that the SD Card Working section shows “true”
  • Check that the SD Formatted section shows “OK” /home/smartvue/smartvue_config/sd_formated:OK
  • Check that the SD Ownership section has an entry similar to drwxr-xr-x 4 smartvue sdcard 16384 Dec 31 1969 sd1
  • If these all check out then it is safe to assume the Unsupported message is because they are either using a micoSD card from a different manufacturer or it is a model of Western Digital that we are not familiar with.

Removing Inactive Devices

Description 

At times it may be necessary to remove video devices from customer accounts. The following steps outline how to safely remove inactive devices.

Product 

  • C2C
  • Cloudvue Gateway

Solution

Note: Ideally the following steps should be performed by the integrator. Support can do all the steps as well but should avoid removing subscriptions (see below)

  1. Access the customer’s account in Cloudvue Manager
  2. Expand Video Devices and select the desired device
  3. Expand Subscriptions and uncheck the subscription and save. (If it says checkout this should be done by the partner staff that originally created the subscription for correct prorations to be applied)
  4. Expand Users and Remove all users from the device
  5. For Cloudvue Gateways expand Cameras and remove all cameras from the device
  6. Edit the Device and set the Partner and Account to Inactive (this removes the device from their manager portal and requires help from support )

Understanding and Using Partner Codes

Understanding and Using Partner Codes


Partner codes are the way in which Cloudvue can group devices (Cloud Cameras.
and Cloudvue Gateways) under certain owners or a managers.


Add a Partner Code to a Device


Log into Cloudvue Enterprise Manager and find the selected device:


Click on EDIT DEVICE and enter the partner code then click on SUBMIT:


At this point, any user who is an administrator or manager of that Partner Code will
have access to manage those devices as well as run reports.


Add a Sub Partner Code to the System


In certain circumstances, a Sub Partner Code is required. For example, a partner code
might be XYZ Company and there is a need for sub partner codes for a group of
locations which might be based on a geographic area such as East, West, North and
South. So an administrator with XYZ company will be able to manage all the devices,
whereas an administrator with XYZ Company who is only given permission to work
with devices registered with the West sub partner code, would only be able to
manage and run reports on those devices.
Click on the + sign in the menu, then select ADD PARTNER:


Enter the existing PARENT PARTNER CODE in the appropriate field. Enter the new
SUB PARTNER CODE (some people use a Company or Company Division Name here)
in the appropriate field. Optionally, if you enter a PARTNER SECRET CODE, this will
require anyone who creates a user with access to that code to have this secret code to
do so. This prevents the creation of unauthorized administrators. Click SUBMIT to add
this new SUB PARTNER CODE.


Note that you can create unlimited Partner and Sub Partner Code levels. For
example, you can have XYZ Company, Geographic Region, and Group levels of
partner and sub partner codes.


Add a Sub Partner Code to a Device


Log into Tyco Cloud Enterprise Manager and find the selected
device:


Click on EDIT DEVICE and enter the sub partner code then click on SUBMIT:


At this point, any user who is an administrator or manager of that Sub Partner Code
will have access to manage those devices as well as run reports.


Add Staff to Manage Partner Code Devices


Click on the + sign in the menu, then select ADD STAFF:


Enter the FIRST and LAST NAME of the staff as well as EMAIL and MOBILE PHONE
number. Enter and confirm the staff’s PASSWORD.
Select a ROLE for this staff user. Here are the available roles and their associated
permission:


Global Admin
Full administrative access
Can create Staff users of equal or lower role
Can create Sub Partner Codes
Can Create Users
Release Management on per device basis


Partner Admin
Can Create Users
Cannot create Staff users
Cannot create Partner Codes
Can Create Users
Release Management on per device basis


Support Specialist
Cannot create Staff users
Cannot create new Partners
Cannot create Users
No access to Enable/Disable Device, Factory Reset
Have access to tunneling
Release Management on per device basis
Read-only access to Subscriptions
No access to Subscription Reports
No other permissions available


Report Analyst
Subscription Reports
Read-only access to Subscriptions
No other permissions available
GLOBAL ADMIN has complete control of all devices with that PARTNER CODE or any
SUB PARTNER CODE. PARTNER ADMIN has ability to add PARTNER CODES and
STAFF. REPORT ANALYST can only run reports on devices and subscriptions.
SUPPORT SPECIALIST has no ability to create users or staff for any device, but full
permissions


Enter the Partner Code (or Sub Partner Code):


For added security, check TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION, this will require
password and mobile phone supplied code for access.
Select RESET PASSWORD and ACCEPT END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT AND
TERMS OF SERVICE to force the new Staff User to change their password and accept
terms.

Cloudvue Manager Falsely Reports the SD Card as not Formatted

Description 

It has been observed that for certain cameras Cloudvue Manager will falsely report the status of the SD card as “SD card is not formatted correctly. Format it as vfat”. Use the following instructions to resolve.

Product 

  • c2c-illustra-IFS03x
  • Firmware Versions Illustra.SS004.01.09.02.0005 and Illustra.SS004.01.09.04.0003
  • Cloudvue Software version 22.4.1
  • Build Number 71
  • Build Date 07/26/2022, 8:07pm

Steps to Reproduce 

  • Access the video device via Cloudvue Manager
  • Expand Disk Space

Expected Results 

  • The SD Card is Healthy

Actual Results 

The SD Card status is red and the SD Card Message is “SD Card is not formatted correctly. Format it as vfat.” Note: While in this state the SD Card will not mount and video will not record to the SD card

Solution

From the available command options select Reboot System

Click OK when prompted “Are you sure you want to reboot this device?”

Wait 2-3 minutes before refreshing/reloading the web page.

If you refresh the page and do not see all the command options normally available like the following. The reboot has not completed, and you should wait a few more minutes before reloading the page.

Update not completed
Update completed

Once the update is complete expand Disk Space and confirm that the SD is now healthy

Additional Notes

  • It has been found that updating the device essentially toggles the state of the SD Card from healthy to not and back again.
  • Existing video stored on the SD card does not seem to be impacted by updating however no new video is recorded to the card while in the bad state.
