NVR Status

A background service in Windows, DETEXI NVR will start automatically upon system start-up and continue running even after the user logs out. The underlying structure of the DETEXI NVR software consists of many individual services, which allow execute and organize all the tasks it is responsible for. The unnecessary services can be turned off to preserve system resources.

From the Domain Controller user interface — NVR Control Center — system administrators can perform system health and status checks. Here users can verify the operational status of all network video recorders in the domain, check weather the necessary services has been turned on to support specific features and functionality, update the status and launch NVR health monitoring procedure.

Knowing the responsibility of each DETEXI NVR service is important. This allows users to make sure the necessary services for the given application are running and controlled properly, while unnecessary services are turned off to preserve system resources.

Monitor Service

Monitor service is an internal service to start/stop other DETEXI NVR services. It is also responsible for monitoring the health and status of all NVR services.

It is recommended that the Monitor service be active at all times.
System will check status only for the components checked as monitored.
If, for some reason, the user stops a service and it is selected to be monitored, it will be restarted by the Monitor service in approximately 30 seconds.
During the system tuning you may need to disable restarting a service by the Monitor service.

Runtime Configuration, Synchronization

For most system settings, the NVR services support runtime configuration . This means that changes can be made to cameras, users, etc. without stopping the NVR services. When you are ready for your changes to take effect, you should synchronize the services with the current configuration.

It is recommended to synchronize services when all changes are made.
You can also start/stop the services using Start/Stop NVR Service toggle button in the NVR Control Center — General — Global Settings.

Get Shots service captures still shots related to alarms from streaming video, when configured, and stores them in a special location in the archive.
Port Mapper service, when configured, routes network requests between two network connections on different subnets or networks. This allows for separate security and corporate networks across which the DETEXI system can communicate.
Port Listener service has the ability to monitor alarms raised by local alarm devices connected to the NVR computer.
Alarm Server service is responsible for raising alarms via the Text-to-Speech engine, telephone, e-mail and other mediums. This is configured as an Automatic Windows Service and starts at Windows startup.
Remote Server service is an internal service for intercommunications between linked NVR Domain Controller and child NVRs. This is configured as an automatic Windows Service and will start with Windows.
Socket Server service is an internal service to support remote TCP/IP access to the NVR. This is configured as an automatic Windows service and starts at Windows startup.
