Installation

Be sure to install your Digia II in an area that secure, away from water, heat, dust, dirt, and other substances that may damage the unit.

To install Digia II, do the following:

1. Connect a camera to any one of the camera BNC connections.

2. Connect a microphone or another audio input device to the audio input connector.

3. Connect speakers or another audio output device to the audio output connector of the unit.

4. Connect an Ethernet cable from a computer network to the LAN port.

5. Connect a monitor to the main monitor BNC connector.

6. Connect any alarm inputs to the alarm input connectors. The alarm inputs can be:

• Normally open (NO), where the relay contact is in an open state. When the contact is closed, an alarm is triggered from 1 to 60 seconds in duration.

• Normally closed (NC), where the relay contact is in a closed state. When the contact is open, an alarm is triggered from 1 to 60 seconds in duration.

• NO trans, where a relay is in an open state. When the contact is closed, an alarm is triggered and will remain until the contact is opened again.

• NC trans, where a relay is in a closed state. When the contact is opened, an alarm is triggered and will remain until the contact is closed again.

7. Connect any alarm outputs to the alarm output connectors. The alarm output is a built-in relay offering three modes:

• ALM-COM (common)

• ALM-NO (normally open)

• ALM-NC (normally closed)

These can be used to trigger an external device such as an alarm panel or a siren.

8. Connect the 19 VDC power supply to the unit, and then connect it to the wall outlet.

If you’d like to install your Digia II in a standard 19-inch rack, you will need to order the rack mount kit (Digia2RK) separately.

Troubleshooting

This section provides information to help you diagnose and solve various problems that may arise while configuring or using your GE product and offers technical support contacts in case you need assistance. (See

Contacting technical support on page 34.)

Troubleshooting your Digia II

• I cannot log onto Digia II main menu.

1. Make sure you are using the correct admin passcode (default: 4444) or user passcode (default: 1234).

Note: The admin passcode will grant you access to all of the menus and allow you to configure all of the options. The

user passcode will only allow you access to the search, export , display, and information menus.

2. If the default passcodes do not work, try 1111.

3. If no passcodes work, contact technical support. Once you have access to the menus, set the admin

passcode and user passcode.

• I cannot upgrade the firmware on my Digia II.

When downloading the firmware files, Windows may add a .dat file extension, or another file extension, depending on your version of Windows. It does this because Windows does not recognize the file type. If this happens, the firmware upgrade process will not work. To solve this, simply edit the file name of the firmeware upgrade file and remove the .dat file extension.

Also, make sure there is enough room on the USB device. The firmware upgrade process requires approximately 5 MB of free space.

• I cannot record at 30 fps.

The unit supports up to 30 fps recording at D1 resolution, 60 fps recording at 2CIF resolution, and 120 fps recording at CIF resolution. The unit distributes these frames across all the enabled channels evenly (when the recording mode is set to continuous, schedule, or alarms) so that if you are recording at 2CIF (60 fps) with four channels enabled, each channel will be capable of recording up to 15 fps. By default, all channels are enabled and recording at 2CIF resolution. If you have a 4 channel unit, you can either:

• Disable two of the four channels to be able to record at 30 fps on any channel at the default resolution of 2CIF; or,

• Change the recording resolution from 2CIF to CIF.

If you decide to record at D1 resolution on that same four channel unit, then you will need to disable three of the four channels to be able to record at 30 fps.

• My USB device is not recognized by the Digia II.

When you export video, you should insert the USB device into the USB port prior to the final step. This provides time for the Digia II to recognize the device. Some devices may not be compatible. Try a different brand, or contact technical support.

• I want to export video to a CD-RW or DVD-RW drive.

The Digia II supports external optical burners via the USB 2.0 port. Check www.gesecurity.com or contact technical support for the latest list of compatible optical drives.

• The Digia II boots up to a startup screen and does not progress to live mode.

The Digia II runs a self-diagnostic test upon powering up. If something is detected as a failure, such as the fan, hard drive, or Ethernet, the unit may not boot completely. Contact technical support.

• DVR only records for a few hours

If motion recording is not properly set up, this problem will arise. To set up motion recording, see (Alarms on page 15).

The DVR will record at a lower frame rate when there is no motion, which will conserve hard disk space. When motion is detected by a camera, the DVR will record at a higher frame rate. This will ensure a higher resolution during motion events playback.

• The monitor displays no picture.

1. Make sure that the equipment is wired properly (Refer to your installation documentation for assistance).

2. Make sure that all of the wires used are working properly.

3. Verify that the recorder is getting the correct amount of power.

• There is no display coming from one of the channels on the DVR.

1. Veryify that the problem is coming from the recorder or the camera. Take a working camera and plug it into the port that seems to not be working properly. If you see a picture, the original recorder or camera is faulty.
