• Schedule: [scheduled recording] Recording takes place according to a channel-

specific schedule. You can select a different recording type for every
hour. You define the schedule under [Setup / Schedule].

• Rec/Mot: [continuous recording / motion sensor] The video picture of the

channel is recorded continuously and for motion sensor events in this
channel.

• Rec/Sen: [continuous recording / alarm sensor] The video picture of the

channel is recorded continuously and on the triggering of the
respective alarm input.

• Mot/Sen: [motion/alarm sensor] The video picture of the channel is recorded if

either the motion sensor or the alarm sensor is triggered for this
channel.

• R/M/S: [record/motion/sensor] The video picture is recorded continuously and

if either the motion sensor or the alarm sensor is triggered for this
channel.

• No Record: No video data is recorded for this camera input.

Frame
Here you define the frame rate (number of pictures recorded per second) for the channels. In the PAL

standard, this is max. 25 frames per second. The frame rate can be variably defined, but the maximum
recording frame rate of the DigiProtect card used must not be exceeded (e.g., DigiProtect 25: max.
frame rate 25 frames per second for all channels).

Furthermore, for the motion sensor and alarm sensor recording types, the frame rates can be set
separately for pre- and post-event recording.

75

Pre- and post-event recording [Pre/Post]
The DigiProtect digital recording system has a so-called pre- and post-event recording feature. If

recording is triggered by a motion or alarm sensor, the system stores the video data of up to 20
minutes before and after the event. The pre-event recording data is buffered for the time specified and
retrieved if required (if an event occurs). The pre- and post-event recording times can be set at
anything between 1 second and 20 minutes.

Important: The pre-recording first functions following the expiry of the desired time after setting, since
otherwise the data is not written completely to the buffer.

Sensor type
Defines the switch type of the alarm inputs. It is either NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed). If

you select two or more alarm inputs for triggering recording under [Set ALARM Event], this switch
setting applies to all alarm inputs.

Alarm Control
The recording system can switch up to 8 alarm outputs for different events. The connections are on an

optional alarm card, which has to be built in to the system. Here you can define the alarm output to be
switched for an event. Possible events are motion detection, triggering of an alarm input, loss of video
signal and active recording status. The duration of the activation of the alarm output can be set
between 0 and 90 seconds. If this is set to [on], a short impulse is activated at the output.

Auto Camera Search
Click to search automatically for connected video sources. Sources found are activated for live display

and set to continuous recording.

Event setup
Here you can activate a function that points to any event that occurs. Two functions are available:

The first function switches to full-screen display for a specific time if an event occurs.
The second function can control a dome camera if an event occurs.

New Functions – Version 6.20x

The new functions – card extension, dual-monitor and hybrid function – are available for card models
TV8800, TV8801, TV8802, TV8803, TV8804, TV8805, TV8806 and TV8807 only.

Card extension

The number of channels of the Digi-Protect System can be doubled in this version – i.e., if for example
a 4-channel realtime card is already installed in the system, a second card of the same type (4­channel realtime) can be added to extend the number of channels to eight (realtime). A free PCI slot is
needed for the second PCI card.

Procedure:

1. First uninstall the current Digi-Protect software.

2. Switch off the PC, disconnect it from the mains electricity supply, and open the PC.

3. Install the second PCI recording card of the same type in a free PCI slot and close the PC.

4. Start the PC and install the necessary drivers. The number of drivers has doubled due to the
additional PCI card.

5. Now install the current software (V6.20x) matching your previous recording card.
