1. Introduction
1-1 Product Characteristics
Optimum Replacement for Time-lapse Recorder
Traditional Time-lapse Recorder is a mechanical device. It is very easy to break down after long-term operation and it causes many problems such as: the overly used magnetic heads which cause blurred image; tapes need to be changed often and manually; the recording time is not long enough; the management of recorded tapes is complicated; inefficient when trying to locate the needed data; recording a huge amount of useless images, etc.
This DVR system adopts digital recording technology. The quality of images will not deteriorate with time. W ith its high compression rate, the storage time can last for months under normal applications. The overwrite operation mode will overwrite the earliest data, and no m ore tape change is required. Motion detection function will enable the recording only when there is motion of the objective, and makes the system and data retrieval more efficient.
High Reliability
Normal PC digital surveillance system adopts the MS-Windows OS (Operating Systems). Such kind of system is so often to crash. It usually makes a negative impression which digital surveillance system is unreliable.
This DVR system adopts Embedded-Linux OS. Our advanced embedded technology condenses the entire system into a tiny flash module, which makes the system more reliable. Even when the power fails, the system will re-boot and return to normal operation in less than one minute.
Longer Recording Days
This DVR system adopts the advanced MPEG-4 compression to store the video images. It allows you to record more data on the same capacity of hard disks.
Ease of Operation Mouse clicking on the Graphical User Interface controls all the operations. No keyboard is needed so that it is most suitable for the security guards and normal non-IT based users to use.
Multi-Function
2
Function of one set of DVR system = Time-lapse Video Cassette Recorder + Multiplexer processor + Motion Detection Processor
You can backup the data to CD-R/RW, remotely monitor the images and still recording the current video data at the same time.
IP Surveillance Instead of only analog camera, from V5.03, this DVR system also supports IP camera
connections to build IP surveillance systems to enjoy higher scalability, lower deployment cost, and greater intelligence of IP surveillance compared to CCTV.
High Resolution Display and Wide Screen Support To provide better screen quality, DVR supports 1024*768 and above high resolution and
supports 16:9 wide screen display without picture distortion. User can select best DVR display resolution according to the monitor he uses.
64 High Channel DVR Solution
From V6.00, DVR supports max 64-channel camera connections with 32 channel analog cameras and 32 channel IP cameras to build up 64 ch hybrid DVR system or pure 64 channel IP cameras to build up 64 ch NVR system. With th is 64 high channel camera connection capability, customer can considerably save DVR construction cost.

3-1-3 Event to Zoom
There are two types of Events to trigger camera zooming. One is Motion event and the other one is Alarm event.
If you want to enable this function, firstly you should go to Setup> “Alarm” menu to set up “Motion to Zoom” or “Alarm (DI) to Zoom” Rule. Please refer to “Chapter 5-4 Alarm”.
Click
Event to Zoom icon in the Control Window to switch to “Event to Zoom” display
style.
3-1-3-1 Rule of Event Zooming
(1). When the DVR detects motion or alarm on the channel set with Motion to Zoom or Event to Zoom, it will immediately pop up this channel picture to the “Zoom-in Window” and the original position of that channel will be replaced with a “ Motion/Alarm” legend and marked with a red frame.
Any channel without set with “ Motion/Alarm to Zoom” function will not be popped up to the “Zoom-in Window” or marked in red frame even DVR detects motion or alarm in this channel.
(2). If DVR doesn’t detect any other motion or alarm, the current zooming channel will be
16
continually displayed in “Zoom-in Window”. If yes, the zooming channel will keep displaying in “Zoom-in Window” for three seconds and then, will be replaced by any channel waiting for zooming. If DVR detects more than one motion or alarm channels simultaneously, the zooming rule will be as below, z The current zooming channel will be the first priority for zooming in again for another
three seconds and others will stay in their positions and be marked in red fram es to wait for zooming in after three seconds. However, the max zooming time for the same channel is nine seconds. After nine seconds, even DVR detects motion or alarm on this channel, it will not be popped up to the Zoom-in Window again until there are no other concurrent motion/alarm channels and other channels with motion/alarm will replace it to be popped up in Zoom-in Window according this rule.
z If the channel stayed in it’s position waits for popping up but motion/alarm on this channel
disappears during the waiting time, it will not be zoomed in and the red frame marked in this channel will disappear.
z If DVR doesn’t detect the current zooming channel with motion or alarm again, the first
priority of the zooming-in channel in waiting list is the one of which channel number is the smallest. For example, if DVR detects concurrent motions or alarms on channel #3 and channel #4, the channel #3 will be zoomed in to the Zoom-in Window firstly for three seconds and the channel #7 marked in red frame will keep to stay in it’s position waiting for zooming in after three seconds.
3-1-3-2 Zoom in a Specific Channel
If you want to focus on a specific channel, you can set up just to zoom in that channel. In the Event-to-Zoom mode, click any channel you only want to zoom in and this channel will be popped up to the Zoom-in Window immediately marked in yellow color frame and the original position of this channel will be replaced by a “locked picture” legend. In this configuration, even DVR detects other channels with motions or alarms, these channels will not be popped up to the Zoom-in Window but just stay in their positions marked in red color frames. You can click the Zoom-in Window to cancel the configuration of “Zooming in a Specific Channel”.

Column lists the percentage of HDD free space and the 4th column shows the rest of HDD space. When you start using a new hard disk (for example, a hard disk with capacity 80GB), the percentage of free space will be very close to 100% (e.g. 99%), and the color will be BLUE.
However, as recording continues, the available space will diminish. When the remaining available space is less than 4GB, the display color will change to ORANGE. This serves as a warning message that the system will soon enter the Recycle Mode; which means, the earliest recorded data will be replaced by the newest recording data. If you would like to keep all the data, this is the time to swap a new hard disk.
If the disk has not been changed and the recording continues, the system will go into Recycle Mode when the hard disk free space is less than 2.5GB. The color of “Hard Disk Free Space”
23
will turn RED.
