3. Installation

3.1 Connecting Peripheral Devices

This section describes how to efficiently hook up peripheral devices for usage with the EDNS-3000 series.

Install the EDNS-3000 series on flat surface. If required, attach the rubber mount for installation. If 19-inch rack is used, it is
recommend to install the system on shelve and use 2.5~3U (1U=1.75 inch or 4.45cm) space for proper ventilation.

Note

Install system in location with good ventilation to prevent overheating.

Caution

Depending on the grounding, the coaxial cable connecting to the camera has danger of electric shock. Shut
down power of the system completely (unplug the power cable) before connecting video cable to BNC port.

DigiOpG2 Digital Video Recorder Page 15

3040-00052

3.2 System Startup and Shutdown

3.2.1. System Startup

After connecting all peripheral devices, connect power cord to EDNS-3000 series for system startup. The power
will be turned on automatically within 5 seconds of power cord being connected. However, power will not be turned on
automatically, if power button was previously turned off by user. In that case, the power button must be pressed again
to restore power.

3.2.2. System Shutdown

To turn off the power, press the power button for proper shutdown of the system. Do not turn off the power by pulling the
power plug.

CAUTION

In case the power plug is pulled off while the system is operating, the currently recording file may not be
closed properly. In addition, even though Journaling File System is not damaged, index information required
for quick file search may not be saved. Of course, Auto Recovery System will recover these files during the
next booting. This process might take between a few seconds to a few minutes. Therefore, turn off system
power by pressing the power button to prevent malfunction.

3.2.3. Countermeasures after abnormal shutdown

EDNS-3000 series has been designed to operate for long periods without a problem.
The operation of the system can be locked, when major parts (such as hard disk) function abnormally due to external electric
shock, physical damage, or other various reasons.
The system stops operating during abnormal situations, and the internal watchdog circuit is activated in order to reset the
system for rebooting within 2 minutes. The system will then recover normally. It will also automatically reboot even when
there is power failure. However, if major parts (such as hard disk) are physically damaged, it is impossible to recover normally.
This will cause continuous rebooting by watchdog or deadlock without reset.

Countermeasures for abnormal discontinuation are as follows.

1. In case the power cannot be turned off, turn off by pulling the power cord.

2. Wait for about 10 seconds and reconnect the power. Ensure the system is functioning properly.

3. Consult your dealer if system is not functioning properly after reconnecting power.

3.2.4. Automatic file testing and recovery

By using Auto-Scan and Auto-Recovery, the files damaged due to abnormal shutdown will be recovered automatically.

Note

Generally, when all files in the hard disk have been closed properly during normal shutdown, it will take only a few
seconds to examine the files after rebooting. It will take few minutes or more to recover the files if recovery is
required, however.

6.1 System-General

Set general environment of the system.

6.1.1. Image Size

Select the recording resolution. Resolution is the number of pixels for length and width, which are used to display one image.
Resolution displays the pixel number in (width)×(length), and the user can select one resolution among 352×240, 640×240,
and 720×480. Default is 640×240.

The bigger the resolution number, the better the quality that is displayed. Resolution of 352×240 is VHS quality, and 720×480
with a high-resolution camera is DVD quality. Selecting appropriate resolution is important since higher quality images require
more storage space, and shortens the recording period.

Note

Since the required storage space is proportional to the area of the image (width×length), 640×240 takes up
approximately 1.8 times bigger space than 352×240, and 2.5~3 times bigger for 720×480. Therefore, the recording
period decreases when selecting the high resolution.

Note

Even with the same resolution, total recording period can vary depending on characteristics such as recording
quality, motion detection threshold and average motion of objects in the image, complexity of image, and video
noise of the images. However, EDNS-3000 series controls the average size of images not to exceed the following
maximum limit for each resolution in every occasion.

 352×240 : Normally 3~5KB, Max. Average 8KByte/image
 640×240 : Normally 5~10KB, Max. Average 13KByte/image
 720×480 : Normally 6~16KB, Max. Average 15KByte/image

If the average size exceeds the maximum, the system automatically reduces the recording quality to maintain below
maximum. The issue of reduced total recording time due to increased size caused by nighttime camera noise, is
therefore eliminated.

DigiOpG2 Digital Video Recorder Page 30

3040-00052

6.1.2. Page Sequence

Set sequencing period when automatic screen sequencing mode is selected in real time live mode. Page Sequence indicates
switching over from selected screen to the next screen in fixed period of time. For example, Page Sequence is operated in 4­split screen, the next screen (5-8 channel, 9-12 channel, 13-16 channel) is displayed after certain fixed period of time. This
status can be on/off by pressing the [SEQ] button on the system front panel or IR remote controller. Possible setting range is
1~60 seconds, and the default is 3 seconds.

6.1.3. IR Remote ID

Set IR remote controller ID. To operate the system easily using IR remote controller, IR remote controller ID should be set first.

The setting procedure of IR remote controller ID is shown below.

1. Insert battery in IR remote controller. (AAA Size ×2)

2. Press [SCR / CH] and [F/O/E] button on the IR remote controller at the same time.

3. Check if the LED on IR remote controller is lighted.

4. Press two-digit number (01~99) to set IR remote controller ID.

5. Assign the identical ID number using front panel arrow keys on the system.

6. Save the ID by pressing [Save] button on the screen.

Note

Setting the IR remote controller ID is necessary only once after purchasing the system.

Note

All systems manufactured in the factory have identical ID as initial value. Therefore, one IR remote controller can
control several systems when using the initial value. To protect such circumstances, it is recommended to set
different ID for each system. Since ID change on the IR remote controller is easy, it is convenient to operate several
systems separately by changing the ID using one remote controller.

6.1.4. P/T/Z Protocol

Set the protocol to control the P/T/Z controller connected to P/T/Z port on the back panel. P/T/Z controller is also called receiver
or RX if it becomes separated from camera. Default is NONE, which indicates that the P/T/Z controller protocol is not set.
Protocol currently supported is shown below.

1 ERNITEC 2400 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit
2 Panasonic 19200 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit
3 Pelco P 4800 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit
4 Pelco D 2400 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit
5 Sensormatic 2400 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit
6 Smart Scan 9600 baud rate even parity 8bit 1 stop bit
7 VC_C4 9600 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit
8 Vicon 4800 baud rate no parity 8bit 1 stop bit

Set the controller address correctly for each channel after setting the protocol.

6.1.5. Spot-Out Dwell

3040-00052

6.2 System-Date and Time

Set time and date of the system. Press arrow button to move the cursor to the desired position and to set correct and accurate
value. Press [Save] button at the bottom of the screen to save the setting contents.

6.2.1. Date and Time

Input the current time and date accurately since the time and date of the system plays an important role in solving any
problem with recorded image or event log.

The current time and date is stored in each recorded images with precision, and they are displayed during playback. Be
cautious: Although the time and date stored in recorded images are wrong, they cannot be altered afterwards due to
encryption.

Note

Users can change the time and date to the future without any problem. However, difficulty arises when changing it
to the past (the same files might exist in the hard disk). Therefore, under complex recording setting, unexpected
problems might arise in the system.

To solve such problems, EDNS-3000 series automatically deletes all the future files from the modified time and
date. Consequently, be cautious when changing the date and time to the past. In addition, every function in the
system operates normally since this procedure is handled in the background.

Note

When a long time has elapsed after a correct setting of the system time and date, the system time can go fast or
slow. According to the specification of the RTC (Real Time Clock) used in EDNS-3000 series, the time difference can
be 113 seconds per month in maximum. Therefore, the periodic (more than once per month) correction of the
system time and date is required for the maintenance of accurate system time.

6.2.2. Date Format

Set the date display format. Select the desired format in the date display format after pressing arrow button.

6.2.3. Time Format

6.5.1. Record

Controls whether recording of the channel will be done or not. [ON] is to record and [OFF] is not to record. If recording is not
required, even when the video of the channel is feeding, set [OFF] for the channel. Then, recording of the channel stops
without pulling camera BNC cable off. [ON] or [OFF] can be selected. The default is [ON].

DigiOpG2 Digital Video Recorder Page 37

3040-00052

6.5.2. Frames

Set the desired number of recorded images per second for the connected camera. The total number of recorded images per
second, per group, has an upper bound (NTSC: 30fps, PAL: 25fps), which cannot be exceeded. Remaining frame number of
the group is displayed at the left bottom of the screen whenever the frame number of each camera is modified.

Note

Each camera belongs to one and only one group and can share the total frame per second of the group up to
25/PAL or (30/NTSC). In case of alarm recording the recording speed of alarmed camera is automatically increased

to a possible maximum value. The value can be calculated as follows: If the number of alarmed cameras is

n

and

the signal system is PAL, then the recording speed of alarmed camera is

[

]

nn /1)4(25

×−−

. For example, if

there is one alarmed camera, the channel will be recorded at the speed of 22 fps while other 3 channels will be
recorded at the speed of 1 fps. Likewise, if there are two alarmed cameras, those channels will be recorded at the
speed of 11 fps each while other two channels will be recorded at the speed of 1 fps.

The connecting channels of each group are shown below.

Group 1=Channel number 1,5,9,13 / Group 2= Channel number 2,6,10,14
Group 3=Channel number 3,7,11,15 / Group 4= Channel number 4,8,12,16

Setting value will not be saved if the frame number setting exceeds 25 fps. The remaining frame number at the left
bottom of the screen is displayed as [-] if the frame number setting exceeds 25 fps. In this case, error message
appears, and frame number will not be saved even though [Save] button is pressed. Set the frame number so that
the total frame number does not exceed 25 fps.

To set frame number by each group, check the remaining frame number after setting the frame number for each
group, then press the [Save] button. The setting value will not be saved if there is wrong setting for any group.

6.5.3. Quality

Set the recording quality for the corresponding channel according to resolution setting by tenth (10-unit) between 10~100. In
general, 60~90 is the average extent for setting, where 10 is the lowest quality, and 100 is the highest quality.

The setting value directly influences the byte size per image. For example, the byte size decreases as quality goes lower. In this
case, blocking (mosaic) phenomena tends to appear, which is the artifact caused by high compression. In contrast, blocking
phenomena disappears as quality goes higher. In this case, the required storage space per image increases, which leads to
shortening of total recording period. Therefore, give consideration to the necessary recording period, importance of each
camera image, and quality of analog signal when setting the recording quality. If extending the recording period in high
quality, refer to 6.5.4. The byte size decreases when the sensitivity setting decreases.

When the quality increases over 80, picture quality increases in small degree, but the byte size increases to great extent.
Be cautious while using low performance camera, since it tends to be much noisier at nighttime and might cause the increase
of byte size when high quality value is set for the camera.

6.5.4. Sensitivity

Set the motion sensitivity value based on motion detection between 10~100. Higher value saves any movement without
skipping, and lower value skips small movements to extend the recording period.

The default is 70, and it is recommended not to change, with the exception of special cases. To change this value, refer to the
“Sensitivity Setting” in the appendix to get full understanding, and try different values to find the most suitable value
corresponding to the circumstances.

DigiOpG2 Digital Video Recorder Page 38

3040-00052

6.6 Camera-Title & Schedule

Set the title of the connected camera and recording schedule.

6.6.1. Title

Input the camera title of selected camera. Inputted camera title is displayed as OSD (On-Screen Display) and is also stored in
the recorded files afterwards. Therefore, when the file is played in the system or remote site, the camera title will be indicated
as that stored in the file during recording.
Default camera title is “CHn” where n is the channel number. It can be up to 16 characters maximum including letters, capital
letters, numbers, or spaces. The screen below indicates a keyboard in which to input letters for Title.

6.6.2. Start & End

Set recording start and end time for the camera. Start time indicates that the recording is started on exact time (0 minutes 0
seconds), and end time indicates the images are recorded until the assigned time (59 minutes 59 seconds). Hour is displayed
in 24-hour unit, default is “0~24”. That is, if it is recorded 24 hours every day.
It will record normally even if the start and end time is reversed. For example, if the schedule is set as “18~9”, it records from

18.00 to 09.00 the next day for every day.

Note

Even if a camera is not set to record according to a schedule, it can record by means of sensor-activated recording.
Select the Record ‘Off’ in the “Camera-Record” when you want sensor-activated recording only.

value. Setting values are 1~100.

6.7.2. Contrast

Adjust the contrast, which is the ratio of brightness to darkness of the image. Greater the value, bright side becomes brighter,
and dark side becomes darker. In case the value is increased to the extent where too much saturation is not observed in the
image, higher contrast can be helpful to display the image vividly. Setting values are 1~100.

6.7.3. Color

Adjust the color density. In most cases except for the deterioration of cameras or very low quality cameras, the adjustment of
this value is not required. Setting values are 1~100.

schedule is 6~18, then sensor input operates from 6:00:00 to 17:59:59.

Note

Be cautious when setting the alarm schedule. If the sensor is inputted outside of time of the schedule, the system
will ignore the activation of the sensor and take no action.

6.9.3. Type

Select the sensor type between N/O(Normal Open) and N/C(Normal Close). Circuit of N/O type is usually open, and the
activation of the sensor occurs at the time of close, and N/C type works the reverse way.

Note

Check the setting of the sensor type (N/O or N/C), if the sensor does not operate properly.

The alarm might not function if the actual connecting sensor type and the sensor type in the system setting are
inconsistent.

6.10 Alarm-Output

This is to set alarm actions regarding recording and relay output.

6.10.1. Relay

Select the relay number to operate.

6.10.2. Alarm Mode

Select either Set or Duration depending on the desired alarm action.

Set:

In this mode, the alarmed camera will be recorded (at the recording speed described in 6.9.1) during the setting time in Dwell
tab from the moment sensor is activated. i.e. Sensor activation triggers alarm-activated recording, regardless of the
deactivation of the sensor during alarm action.

Duration:

In this mode, the alarmed camera will be recorded (at the recording speed described in 6.9.1) upon sensor activation. i.e. The
deactivation of the sensor stops the alarm-activated recording.

The corresponding relay will function in accordance with recording if the relay output is selected in the sensor, i.e. the relay
starts when alarm-activated recording starts and ends when alarm-activated recording stops.

6.10.3. Dwell

Set the period for which the alarmed camera will be recorded and the relay output is turned on. The recording stops and
alarm output is turned off when the setting period is elapsed. Set the alarm-operating period (5~99 seconds).

7.1 Sensitivity Setting

Motion Detection and Motion Detection Recording

Motion detection is to quantitatively calculate the movement of objects in a series of video images from camera and to
determine if it is over user-defined threshold (motion sensitivity). In motion detection recording, an image with small
movement will be skipped and not be recorded while an image with big movement will be recorded without skip. If motion
sensitivity is set to a value below 100, then recording mode will be changed into ‘Motion Detection Recording’ to activate this
feature.

Continuous Recording

When motion sensitivity is set to 100, the recording mode is changed from motion detection recording to continuous
recording. In this mode, every motion and camera noise will be saved regardless of the quantity of the motion.
Conversely, the required storage space per hour increases at least 2~3 times, compared with motion detection recording, and
the total recording period is decreased to that extent. Therefore, be cautious with settings for important camera channels so
that no motion is skipped.

Noise Detection

AGC (Auto Gain Control) circuit amplifies the output signal of CCD in dark light when the AGC feature of the camera is
turned on (normally selected as ‘on’). At this time, the thermal noise of CCD is amplified as well, displaying numerous small,
insignificant red and blue spots.

Due to the high frequency nature, such CCD noise decreases the compression efficiency and, consequently, leads to increased
byte size per image. The size is almost 2~3 times bigger than that with high motion image at daytime. Besides, since the
distinction between real motion and noise is practically impossible, motion detection algorithm can save unnecessary images
of no real motion, but noise, resulting in continuous recording. As a result, hard disk will be filled with unnecessary images
with noise.

To decrease such unnecessary fill-up of storage with noisy images at night, noise detection feature is included in the motion
detection feature. It makes it possible to skip the images of no motion but noise.

The lower the motion sensitivity setting is, the higher the efficiency of the noise detection is. In order to set the motion
sensitivity to 90, the use of cameras with high CCD sensitivity is recommended.
