3.4 Updating System Software
If the system software of the DGR201 needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to safely
update it.
Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is working
and the file of system software is intact
1. Turn off the DGR201.
2. Insert the SD card into the built-in SD slot located at the front of the unit.
3. Hold down the
Up and Down buttons simultaneously, and then turn on the unit.
4. Keep holding down the buttons until the DGR201 sounds a tone and display the message “ XXXXXX
BYTES READ”. Now the DGR201 is updating the system software, which will take approximately 90
seconds to process.
5. Restart the unit when the device sounds a tone twice and displays the message “PLEASE RESTART”
The process is complete.
NOTE: If the DGR201 does not power up after updating the software, ensure that the file on the SD
card is functioning properly and the file is intact and repeat steps 1 through 5.
6. Verify the version of the system software. (Please refer to section 5.6 VERSION option)

4. BASIC OPERATIONS
This section outlines the basic operating instructions for the DGR201.
4.1 Configuring Recording Settings
Recording Time settings (Recording Rate and Picture Quality Setting)
The Recording time available on DGR201 is dependent on 3 variables, the image size, recording rate,
and capacity of the hard-disk drives. Generally, the DGR201 comes with a built-in hard-disk drive for
continuous recording from one to four weeks under most recording conditions. The table below shows
the possible recording times based on an 80GB hard-disk drive at certain refresh rates and the
corresponding image quality. With one or more hard-disk drive(s) in operation, the recording time can be
determined using the table below in accordance with your requirement. For a NTSC unit, for example, if
the unit is set to record images with BEST quality at a 60 fps record rate, normally a 80GB hard-disk
drive will be filled in 15 hours (See the gray area in the table). If the total capacity of the hard disk drives
is 240GB using the same refresh rate and picture quality, the recording time will be approx. 45 hours (3
times the rate of an 80GB hard-disk drive).
Set up the REC Time Mode when a multiplexer is connected
If a multiplexer is connected, for optimum image recording and playback, the record speed of the
multiplexer must be correctly adjusted to match the DGR201 and set the MULTIPLEXER option on the
setup menu to ON. This can be done by either of methods detailed below.
Connect the SW. OUT terminal in 9-PIN D-SUB connector on the rear panel of the DGR201 to the
multiplexer’s trigger contact. The DGR201 will provide the timing signal (Negative/Falling) to the
multiplexer. Thus, if the DGR201 changes the recording speed, the multiplexer will automatically adjust
the record to match. A 2-hour and 4-hour timing signal in NTSC or a 3-hour and 6-hour one in PAL is
constantly negative/falling.

11. Index Table
The following description details how the DGR201 manages an index table issue.
The DGR201 will generate a time index table indicating recorded data is kept in a particular HDD. This
allows to individually selecting recorded data to be displayed via the alarm list search and full list search.
The maximum number of lists, for a given HDD, is 3000. When the list of any given HDD is used up-and the
disk is not full, The unit will still use the rest of the space for recording. In such a case, an index for the
recent recorded data will be generated and the index of the next oldest data will be erased so that the list
does remain 3000 in total. And the next oldest data will be kept in the index of the corresponding oldest
data. For any newly-recorded data, this approach will be applied until the disk becomes full.
3000 LISTS
In the rewrite recording mode, when the archived hard disk drive is full, the DGR201 will start overwriting
the oldest data recorded. As the previous recorded data was partially overwritten by the recent recording,
the indicating time index of that data will be changed corresponding to the starting time of the remaining
session. The index of the session will be deleted from the table when it is fully overwritten.

NOTE: When only one unit of the DGR201 is connected to a computer or LAN, you can freely
assign an IP address for the DGR201. For example, there is a range of DGR201 IP
addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255. You can pick one for use from the range
of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings as default.
When a DGR201 is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP
address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to your
network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings, please
contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected DGR201 must be assigned a unique IP,
which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses are
written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 192.168.0.1
Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for example, the first three
sets of numbers of the DGR201 IP address must be the same as the network address. If
the connected network is identified as Class B, the first two sets of numbers of the
DGR201 IP address must be the same as the network address. If you have any
questions regarding these settings, please contact a qualified MIS professional or your
ISP.

PERSON, EVEN IF DIGIMERGE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
No claims or statements regarding the product, whether written or verbal, by salespeople, retailers, dealers or distributors,
that are not contained in this limited warranty or in the owner's manual are authorized by Digimerge and do not modify or
expand this warranty.
Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of
incidental or consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers or the limitation of liability for personal
injury. To the extent that such restrictions on limitations apply to the products, the above limitations and exclusions may be
limited in their application. In that case, when the implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they
will be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty, and if damages may not be limited then the above
limitations on damages apply, but only to the greatest extent permitted by local law.
Warranty and Non-Warranty Service: Contact the dealer that sold you this product, during the warranty period if

product's model number, serial number, date of purchase, sales or invoice number, proof that you were the original end-user
