1 Introduction

1.1 Summarization

Thank you for choosing our digital video capture cards.

4 Channel, 8 Channel and 16 Channel cards adopt MPEG4 compression format, enable maximum 16 channels real-time or share-time surveillance. Our cards are mature and cost-effective products that should be your ideal choices. They enable synchronous audio and video compression and transmission, with their powerful compression rate and network transmission function, the y are widely used in banks, smart communities, traffic management units, medical systems, educational systems, armed forces and so on.

In this manual, you will learn how to install the hardware and driver (software), and how to setup the systems of this range of products. Please make sure your operations with the products are strictly in accordance with the manual, so as to keep the stability of the digital surveillance systems.

The following are standard functions of the products:

(1) Schedule record mode

Users can choose any periods in a day to record and set up record modes, i.e. sensor alarm record, motion detection record, manual record, Schedule Record.

(2) Motion detection mode

Motion detection areas are adjustable, and maximum 16 areas for each channel. Users can also set motion detection sensitivity for e ach channel. T he system begins to record only when detected motion changing rate excesses the user-set sensitivity, and stops recording after a period of time, adjustable by users, when no motion is detected, which effectively saves HDD source.

(3) Sensor alarm record mode

SuperDVR & TDF Cards

With external alarm board, the system enables alarm input and output, which improves the security and extends the practicability.

(4) Recycling record mode

Users can set recording storage sequence for HDD partitions. The recording storage will automatically jump to the next partition when it’s full. In case all the partitions are full and recycling record mode has been enabled, the former recorded data will be covered by new data. Users can also set HDD minimum storage alarm. Then once the present storage space is less then the minimum storage and recycling record mode hasn’t been enabled, the record will automatically stop.

(5) P.T.Z control function

Support a number of decoders. Users can control multiple speed domes and integrative cameras, including pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris adjustment for P.T.Z devices.

(6) Users management

Different users have different purviews, user names and passwords, so as to ensure system security.

(7) Multi-channel display

Support different multi-channel display modes, full screen display and auto dwell display.

(8) Watch dog function

The latest 16 Channels has watchdog function. In case SuperDVR driver or windows system is frozen, the watchdog will restart the computer and login SuperDVR system again automatically.

(9) One PC support 1 to 4 cards of the same model, the maximum frame rate can be 200 fps, and 16 channels at most.

(10) Support CIF standard resolution, PAL 352×288, NTSC 320×240

(11) Image color adjustable for each channel, including contrast, lightness, hue and saturation.

(12) MPEG4 compression format, greatly reduce HDD usage

SuperDVR & TDF Cards

(13) Powerful video playback functions, including playback, pause, stop, fast-forward, single-frame play and image capture.

(14) Support advanced search mode. Users can search by date/time, camera, record mode, and random combination of the three methods.

(15) Convenient to extend system functions by software upgrade.

(16) Supply multiple languages, including Chinese, English, and other customized languages.

(17) CPU and storage resources saving by advanced technology

(18) Remote Surveillance and P.T.Z control through LAN, Intranet, and Internet.

(19) Support both PAL and NTSC format.

(20) User-friendly graphical user interface.
