1. Product Characteristics

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.

Digital IDView DVR adopts digital recording technology. The quality of images will not deteriorate with time. With 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 more 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.

Digital IDView DVR 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

Digital IDView DVR 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

Function of one set of Digital IDView DVR = 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.

2. When the channel which is enabled the “ Motion/Alarm to Zoom” function occurs motion or alarm, its’ screen will be zoomed in the “ Motion/Alarm Zooming” area and the original screen of this channel will be replaced by a “Motion/Alarm Picture”. If the channel is not enabled the “ Motion/Alarm to Zoom” function, the screen of this channel will not be zoomed and will not be marked in red frame even there is a motion or alarm in this channel.

3. If there is no other motion or alarm occurring, the current zoomed screen will be continually kept in “ Motion/Alarm Zooming Area”. If yes, the zoomed screen will be kept in “ Motion/Alarm Zooming Area” just for three seconds and will be replaced by the one from any channel waiting for zoomed after three seconds. If there is more than one motion or alarm occurring at the same time, the zooming rule will be as follows,

a. The previous zooming channel will be the first priority for zooming again and others will

be marked in red frame to wait for zooming in after three seconds. However, the number of continually zooming the same channel will be limited to three times. After three times, even this channel occurs motion or alarm again, the motion/alarm zooming area will show the screen of other channel. If the motion or alarm in one of the channels waiting for zooming and marked in red frame disappears within three seconds waiting time, this channel will not be zoomed in and the red frame will disappear.

b. If the previous zoomed channel does not have motion or alarm again, the first priority

being zoomed is the channel of which number is the smallest. For example, if channel #3 and channel #7 occur motions or alarms at the same time, channel #3 will be zoomed firstly for three seconds and the screen of channel #7 will be marked in red frame to wait for zoomed after three seconds.

4. Zooming in a specific channel: You can decide just to zoom in a specific channel. When clicking any channel you want to zoom in, the screen of this channel will be zoomed in to the “Motion/Alarm Zooming” area marked in yellow color frame and the original screen of this channel will be replaced by a “locked picture”. Then, the screen of other channels, even occurring motion or alarm, will not be zoomed in “Motion/Alarm Zooming Area” and it will be just marked in red color frame. You can click the “ Motion/Alarm Zooming Area” to cancel the “ Zooming in a specific channel”.

3-3 Storage S pace

On the right side of the main screen, you can find the free space of hard disks. If there are more than one hard disk is connected, it will display the status of each HD every 5 seconds.

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 1GB. The color of “Hard Disk Free Space” will turn RED.
