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.

SuperVision 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.

SuperVision 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

SuperVision 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.

Page 7

 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 SuperVision = 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.

On the right of the screen is the “status display”. From top to bottom you can see , Hard Disk

Free Space, followed by 3 columns and 16 rows, which signify Recording Status (1

column),

DI Receiving Status (2nd column), and DO Output Status (3rd column).

From left to right on the bottom of the screen you can see “7 Display Modes”, “Date/Time”,

“Full Screen Monitoring”, “Playback” and “System Settings”. Clicking on the button operates

all functions.

Note that whenever you click this button , the system will return to the main screen.

Page 9

2-1 Display Mode

The 7 icons on the bottom of the Main Screen are Display Mode selections.

There are 4 splits, 6 splits, 8 splits, 9 splits, 10 splits, 13 splits, and 16 splits. The default

display mode is 16 splits. The cameras displayed on each split mode can be modified in the

system setting menu.

Besides the different kinds of split modes, you can click in a camera image on any split screen

to show the full screen of that specific camera as shown in the example below.

In the full screen mode the “Screen Adjustment Parameters” will locate at the bottom of the

screen. These parameters are “contrast”, “brightness”, “chroma”, and “saturation”.

When a Speed Dome is connected and the system is in full screen mode, PTZ control buttons

will pop up in the lower right of the screen. These controls include “Zoom in”, “Zoom out”,

“Auto Focus”, “Focus Near”, “Focus Far”, and “PTZ Speed”.

2-2 Hard Disk Free Space

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.

Click on the DI/DO icon and select the total number of DI/DO installed on your system to see

the following figure:

[DI Status]

Choose Disable, NC, or NO according to your DI device (e.g., photo sensor).

♦ Disable: Disable the DI function.

♦ NC (normal closed): The signal loop is closed under normal conditions. When the loop

becomes open, DI will be triggered until the loop becomes closed again. In other words, if

the loop keeps on open for a period of time, DI will keep on triggering in that time

interval.

♦ NO (normal open): The signal loop is open under normal conditions. When the loop

becomes closed, DI will be triggered until the loop becomes open again. In other words, if

the loop keeps on closed for a period of time, DI will keep on triggering in that time

interval.

Page 29

[DO Status]

♦ Disable: Disable the DO function.

♦ Enable: Enable the output signal when DO is triggered.

♦ Set the duration of DO signal. The available durations are 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, 300, 600,

1800 and 3600 seconds. If DO is triggered, in this time interval, DO will keep on

triggering.

[Action]

There are 4 actions that are related to the DI/DO functions.

♦ DI →Camera Recording

When DI is triggered, DVR can start to record the video of selected cameras. You can

select the cameras to be recorded when DI is triggered by using the “DI/Camera array”

shown below the setting. Each DI signal can trigger more than one camera recording.

♦ Cam Motion →DO

When selected camera detects motion, selected DO can be triggered and start to send

control signal to the external device (e.g., alarm) within the DO duration. The

“Camera/DO array” below the setting allows you to relate the DO devices corresponding

to each camera.

♦ Cam V-Loss →DO

When selected camera video is lost, selected DO can be triggered and start to send control

signal to the external device (e.g., alarm) within the DO duration. The “Camera/DO array”

below the setting allows you to relate the DO devices corresponding to each camera.

♦ DI →DO

When selected DI is triggered, selected DO can be triggered and start to send control

signal to the external device (e.g., alarm) within the DO duration. The “DI/DO array”

below the setting allows you to relate the DO devices corresponding to each DI.

C. FAQ

1. Q. I have set the recording mode as motion sensor recording. But why the DVR still

records a lot of video that has no motion at all?

(1) The digital recording system is very sensitive. It can detect the tiniest motion that

human eyes cannot perceive. You can lower the sensitivity setting in camera setup

menu.

(2) Flickering fluorescent lights (when traditional 120 Hz ballast are used) or TV (or

computer) screen can be the motion source. In this case, adjust the motion detection

area so that these flicking sources will not be detected. It is recommended not to

align the camera directly at fluorescent lights, TV, or computer screens. The use of

better-quality fluorescent lights (with electronic ballast), monitors, and the cameras

can be considered.

(3) When cameras are installed, please make sure the quality of cables, connections,

and workmanship. Sometimes interference could cause the image unstable. Avoid

placing the system close to a compressor (fridge), or to a motor (washing machine)

that might cause magnetic interference.

2. Q: What will happen if there is a power outage (cut)? Do I have to do anything?

A: If a power outage occurs, the last file will not be closed properly. Therefore, up to 10

minutes of data might be lost. It is recommend connecting the system to an

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This will help to avoid shortening the system life

span and partial data loss caused by the instability of power supply.

When the power returns, the system will automatically re-boot, restore data and go back

to the normal operation in approx. 1 minute.

3. Q: Why the remote monitor not working?

(1) Using the windows command PING to check if the network connection is ok.

(2) Turn of proxy setting off.

(3) Make sure you have Java VM installed (in JPEG mode) or Player installed (in

Page 54

MPEG4 mode).

(4) Check security setting in IE browser is not too restricted. The active X option

must be enabled.

4. Q: How to check the log file of the DVR?

A: The log file can be seen from remote PC using IE browser. Suppose the DVR IP address

is 192.168.123.12, type http://192.168.123.12/log/dvrlog.php on a remote PC to see the log.

5. Q: How to capture the snapshot of the whole screen?

A: It can be done from remote PC using IE browser. Suppose the DVR IP address is

192.168.123.12, type http://192.168.123.12/rmapi/misc/screen-snapshot on a remote PC to see

the picture.

D. Internet Connection

D-1: IP address is used by one DVR only

Assume the static IP address you get from ISP is 211.23.87.163.

When

(1) The IP address is not used by any other devices, and

(2) ISP does not require user name and password to connect,

You can connect like the following figure:

ADSL Modem

DVR

Ethernet (RJ45)

In this case, just follow the instructions in section 3-6-7 and section 4-2 to make the DVR on

Internet.

User from Internet can use

http://211.23.87.163 to connect to the DVR.

D-2: IP address is shared by more than one devices

Assume the static IP address you get from ISP is 211.23.87.163.

When

(1) The IP address is shared by more than one devices, or

(2) ISP requires user name and password to connect,

You can connect like the following figure:

ADSL Modem

DVR 1

NAT Router

Ethernet (RJ45)

DVR2

Windows PC

192.168.123.51

192.168.123.xx

192.168.123.52

211.23.87.163

Page 56

In this case, you will need an NAT router to connect to the high-speed modem. Please refer to

the user manual of your NAT router to translate DVR1 (192.168.123.51 port 80) to a port of

211.23.87.163, for example, port 8001. Similarly, translate DVR2 (192.168.123.52 port 80) to

another port of 211.23.87.163, say, port 8002. You also need to set the user name and password

on this router in order to successfully connect to ISP. Follow the instructions in section 3-6-7 to

set the IP address of DVR1 as 192.168.123.51.

Users from Internet can now use http://211.23.87.163:8001 to connect to DVR1 and use

http://211.23.87.163:8002 to connect to DVR2.
