2.2 Hard-disk Drive Installation

The DVR is equipped with two compartments

of hard disk drive (for removable model

only). The unit usually comes with one

hard-disk drive installed in the compartment

HD1, which is default- configured as a master.

If you need a second hard-disk drive to be

installed in the compartment HD2 (Mobile),

please contact your distributors or installers

for specific instructions on how to install it.

Please don’t serve yourself before consulting

your installers. If there is only one hard-disk

drive in the mobile compartment, please set

the HD2 USAGE option to REC (please refer

to section 4.5) before proceeding with the

recording function. Serial ATA (SATA)

interface disk drives are designed for easy

installation. It is not necessary to set any

jumpers, terminators, or other settings on this

drive for proper operation. The compatible

hard-disk drives (Table 2.2), which can be

used with the unit, are shown in the tables

below.

Note: The CD-RW model is equipped with a

fixed hard- disk and a CD-RW drive. The unit

usually comes with one hard-disk drive

installed in the compartment HD1, which is

default-configured as a master.

3. OPERATIONS

This section shows you how to operate and

manage the DVR when it gets in the way.

3.1 Configuring Recording Settings

Recording time will vary depending on the

image size, recording rate, and the capacity of

the hard-disk drives. Generally, the DVR

comes with a built-in hard-disk drive for

continuous recording from one to four weeks

under most recording conditions. The table

below shows the possible recording times

based on a 20GB hard-disk drive at certain

refresh rates and the corresponding image

quality. With one or more hard-disk drives in

operation, please calculate the recording time

using the table below in accordance with your

requirement. For an NTSC unit, for example, if

the unit is set to record images with BEST

quality at a 60 fps record rate, normally a

20GB hard-disk drive will be filled in 3.7 hours

(see the gray area in the table). If the total

capacity of 80GB hard-disk drives is in use

under the same refresh rate and picture quality,

it will be filled in 14.8 hours (4 times the rate of

a 20GB hard-disk drive).

Note: Set up the REC Time Mode when a

multiplexer is connected.

If a multiplexer is connected, for optimum

image recording and playback, the record

speed of the multiplexer must be correctly

adjusted to match the DVR and set the

MULTIPLEXER option on the setup menu to

ON. This can be done by either of the two

methods detailed below.

(1) If an APPRO multiplexer is connected for use,

you can program the REC time mode of the

multiplexer by referring to the table below (each

refresh rate refers to one REC time mode).

(2) For a multiplexer other than APPRO, please

connect the SW. OUT terminal in the 9-PIN

D-SUB connector on the rear panel of the DVR

to the multiplexer’s trigger contact. The DVR will

provide the timing signal (Negative/Falling) to

the multiplexer. Thus, if the DVR changes the

recording speed, the multiplexer will

automatically adjust the record to match. A

2-hour and 4-hour timing signal in NTSC or a

3-hour and 6-hour one in PAL is constantly

negative / falling.

You don’t need to set a NET IP for the unit

if the LAN which the unit is connected to

has a DHCP server. Otherwise, please

follow the instructions given below:

Enter the NET IP page, and set the IP,

MASK and GATEWAY. Then press the

Enter button to proceed. The following is a

sample setting.

IP: 192.168.1.100

MASK: 255.255.255.0

GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0

HTTP PORT: 80

NOTE:

1. When only one unit of the DVR is

connected to a computer or LAN, you can

freely assign an IP address for the DVR. For

example, there is a range of DVR IP addresses

from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can

pick one for use from the range of the IPs. It’s

not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY;

leave the settings as default.

When a DVR is connected to a WAN, you must

acquire a unique, permanent IP address and

correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY

settings according to your network

architecture. If you have any questions

regarding those settings, please contact a

qualified MIS professional or your ISP.

2. Connecting to a network, each connected

DVR must be assigned a unique IP, which

must be in the same class type as your

network address. IP addresses are written as

four sets of numbers separated by periods:

for example, 192.168.0.1 Therefore, if the

connected network is identified as Class C,

for example, the first three sets of numbers of

the DVR IP address must be the same as the

network address. If the connected network is

identified as Class B, the first two sets of

numbers of the DVR IP address must be the

same as the network address. If you have any

questions regarding these settings, please

contact a qualified MIS professional or your

ISP.

● FULL LIST – Lists all the recorded text information page by page for

selection.

● BY STRING – Searches all the text information including the desired

strings.

● BY DATE/TIME - Lists some of the records with the text information

within a desired period.

● BY AMOUNT - Lists some of the records with the text information whose

cash amount meets the desired range.

● BY COMBINATION – Combines the above search interfaces on one and

the same page.

7.2 Hard Disk Installation

Usually the unit comes with one hard-disk

drive installed in compartment HD 1, which is

default-configured as a master. Serial ATA

(SATA) interface disk drives are designed for

easy installation. It is not necessary to set any

jumpers, terminators, or other settings on this

drive for proper operation. To install two

hard-disk drives in the compartments for HD 1

and HD 2, please take the following steps.

(For removable model only.)

7.2.1 Built-in hard disk

Unscrew all the 4 mounting screws on the mobile rack of the unit and detach it.

Carefully lift the mobile rack to a vertical position.

Unscrew the secured screws to detach the hard disk rack.

Carefully insert a SATA hard disk.

Place the hard disk in the rack.

Secure the driver in the rack using 4 mounting

screws in the side-mounting holes. Please don’t tighten the screws too much, otherwise that may damage the driver.

Screw the rack into the device, tightening in all the 4 screws.

Attach the interface connector and the power connector to the drive.

Place the mobile rack back onto the device and screw in all the 4 screws.

7.2.2 Mobile Rack (FOR REMOVABLE HDD MODEL)

Make sure that the key is unlocked.

Pull the active handle outward to detach the carrier body from the mobile rack.

Slide the top cover backward and remove.

Place the hard disk in the rack.

Place the HDD inside the mobile rack. Use four of the provided screws to fix the HDD in place.

Place the top cover

back to the carrier body by sliding forward to secure.

Slide the carrier body back in the mobile rack.

Push the carrier body further into the mobile rack until fully inserted.

Push the active-handle inward.

Indexes

The DVR will generate a Time Index Table

indicating recorded data is kept in a particular

HDD. This allows individually selected recorded

data to be displayed via the alarm list search

and full list search. The maximum number of

lists, for a given HDD, is

3000. When the list of

any given HDD is used up and the disk is not full,

the unit will still use the rest of the space for

recording. In such a case, an index for the

recent recorded data will be generated and the

index of the next oldest data will be erased so

that the list does remain 3000 in total. And the

next oldest data will be kept in the index of the

corresponding oldest data. For any

newly-recorded data, this approach will be

applied until the disk becomes full.

In the rewrite recording mode, when the

archived hard disk drive is full, the DVR will start

overwriting the oldest data recorded. As the

previous recorded data is being overwritten

by the recent recording, the indicating time index

of that data will be changed corresponding to the

starting time of the remaining session. The index

of the session will be deleted from the table

when it is fully overwritten.
