OPTICAL AND ACOUSTICAL STATEMENTS

VISIBLE LED STATEMENT

The LEDs on this DVR unit are classified as “Class 1 LED Product” in accordance with EN 60825-1.

LASER SAFETY STATEMENT FOR A CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

This CD-ROM Storage device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual may cause harmful interference. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, the user is can attempt to correct this by following one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is

connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

The mass storage system does not product hazardous laser radiation. Because laser light emitted inside the mass storage system is completely confined within the protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

CAUTION: Due to the extremely fast rotation speed of the CD-ROM drive spindle motor (9000 ~ 12000 rpm), the drive’s performance could be affected by using substandard discs. These substandard discs may be damaged, or damage the CD-ROM drive.

• Check each CD for cracks before using it. If there are cracks on the surface, especially on the border of the center hole, do not use it in the CD-ROM drive. Using such CDs can cause irreparable damage to the CD-ROM drive.

• Do not leave CDs in direct sunlight or hot, humid locations.

• Always remove CDs from the drive after use.

• To protect CDs from scratches, never touch the CD face or place the CD face down on a hard

surface.

• Do not affix highly adhesive stickers to a CD.

3.2 KEYBOARD SETUP

To attach the keyboard to the DVR unit, plug the end of the Keyboard cable into the keyboard PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The keyboard PS/2 Port can be identified by the purple color. Refer to Section 2.3 – Rear Panel Connectors for more information.

3.3 MOUSE SETUP

To attach the mouse to the DVR unit, plug the end of the mouse cable into the mouse PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The mouse PS/2 Port can be identified by the green color. Refer to the Section 2.3 – Rear Panel Connectors for more information.

The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in many different shapes but are most commonly shaped like an arrow.

The mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and releasing one of these buttons is called clicking. Sometimes it will be necessary to double-click – or click the same button twice quickly.

In this manual, click means to position the mouse point on an icon and to single click the left button. When a right click is required, this is stated clearly. Double-click also refers to the left button.

The ratchet wheel in between the two buttons is added to provide easier scrolling capability. By simply moving the wheel with your index finger, you can quickly move through multiple pages, lines, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third button allowing you to quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item.

The Intensive Recording Option allows increasing of the Pictures Per Second and the

resolution of any camera recording using sensor activation. When the intensive recording is activated, the resolution of the remaining cameras is immediately reduced to 360x240 and the Pictures per second to a user specified level. This is done to guarantee that the Pictures Per Second and Resolution will be set correctly and not exceed the DVR limitation.

5.4.4 VIDEO LOSS ALARM

The DVR supports a Video Loss Alarm function which allows an Alarm Event to occur

when a camera loses its signal. The lost signal can be due to Power failure to the camera, the camera cable being cut or unplugged, or the camera being damaged in some way.

In order to use Video Signal Loss detection, cameras must either be turned ON or

OFF. This is because the DVR needs to know which cameras it should expect to receive signals from. To turn camera(s) ON, open Frame Setup, and set the Frames Per Second to anything above zero. By designating zero frames per second the camera will not be used by the DVR.

6.5 AFTER IMAGE REMOVAL

The DVR unit is capable of recording video using one of three different resolutions.

When using the 720 x 480 resolution, two fields are mixed. Because of the timing gap between the two fields, according to the standardized image rules, after image might occur to high speed moving images. The Fusion DVR unit allows you to remove this by pressing the After Image Removal button.

The images below demonstrate the filtered screen.

6.6 SEARCH OPTIONS OVERVIEW

The Search Options allows the user to find the requested images quickly, enhance the

image quality, and export the video or images in a number of ways.

Index Search:

Preview Search:

Object Search:

Status Search:

Used to perform a search based on Motion detection and Sensor activation. Allows for quickly narrowing down large amounts of recorded video based on particular criterion.

Allows for narrowing down recorded video in a 24 Hour period. Each day is broken into 24 images, one image for each hour of the day. (The images are taken from the first second of each hour). When an image is selected, the ‘hour’ chosen is then broken down into 6 images, one image for every 10 minute increment. When a 10-minute increment image is selected, 10 images are displayed, one for every minute within the 10 minute period. From this point, the selected image can be applied to the Main Search.

Used to specify a region on an image and perform a search based on any motion that has occurred within that region.

Displays recorded video in a color coded format that allows easy selection of the portion of video you wish to play.

6.7 PERFORMING A BASIC SEARCH

The most basic involves simply selecting the date, the time, the camera, and pressing play.

1. Select a date using the calendar.

2. Select a time by adjusting the hour and minute slide bars.

3. Select one or more cameras.

4. Press Play. Video can be played forwards, backwards, or frame-by-frame.

6.8 DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

SEARCH OPTIONS

The DVR automatically adjusts for Daylight

Savings Time changes. When the hour “jumps forward” no video is lost because an hour is simply skipped. However when the hour “falls back” there is a duplicated hour that under normal circumstances would be recorded over. The Honeywell Fusion DVR actually records both hours and allows you to select which hour to play if the need arises.

To access the “lost hour”:

3. To play back the “lost” hour, select the Daylight Savings option.

1. From the Search screen, select the Select Date button.

2. Select the date when Daylight Savings time “lost” an hour. An option appears which says “Daylight Savings Time.”

4. Select OK to confirm the date and begin playing the video using standard search features.

6.9 TIME SYNC

The Time Sync option synchronizes a single channel of video to playback in real time.

Ordinarily the video may playback slower or faster depending on several factors, including how many PPS recorded and number of cameras playing at the same time.

In addition, the Time Sync option will be automatically enabled when an audio channel is selected inside Search.

1. Select a single image to synchronize by double-clicking on an image.

2. Select a channel of audio (optional).

6.10 PRINTING AN IMAGE

The DVR can print a recorded image to a local or network printer.

1. From the Search screen, stop on the image to print. Double-click the image. NOTE: Only one camera can be selected at a time for this function to work.

2. Click on the Print button. A Print Options window appears. Depending on the printer being used, there may be several printing options available. Refer to the printer manual for more information.

3. Press the Print button to print the selected images.

NOTE: The message “NO DEFAULT PRINTERS INSTALLED” will display if no

printer is installed.

6.11 ‘SAVE TO’ FUNCTION

The DVR unit can export single images in the .JPG file format, save video clips in

the .AVI format, or output to a VCR using the s-video port. The JPG and AVI file formats are extremely common with virtually universal computer support making them ideal formats to use. A digital signature is also attached to every .JPG and .AVI file exported by the DVR for use with the bundled Digital Verifier application. This function is unique to the DVR and its Verification software and should not interfere with viewing the files using other applications.

JPG:

AVI:

Analog Out

The format (.jpg) is optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images. JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics. JPG is used to export a single image or frame.

AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a Windows-supplied or third party compression and decompression module called a codec. AVI files save a video clip.

Sends a full screen video signal to the s-video port of the DVR. This feature is only available on DVRs with an s-video out.

Enter duration (in seconds) for recording the AVI file. Although 100 is the longest displayed, a manual time may be entered.

It may be necessary to reduce the overall size of an AVI file; for example, to email to someone. AVI file sizes can be reduced by reducing the image quality. By reducing the image quality, the AVI video appears more pixilated. When size is not an issue, setting quality to 100 is highly recommended.

Sets whether to export video in real-time or based on the Speed Bar setting in the Search Menu.

The Export button begins the saving process. (Cancel closes the window without exporting.)

6.13 PREVIEW SEARCH

The Preview Search can be used in a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact

moment where an event, such as a theft, occurred. The Preview Search basically gives a 24 Hour visual overview of a single camera by separating a 24 hour period (1 day) into 24 images, one image for each hour of the day. The search can then be further narrowed down into ten minute increments and one minute increments by simply selecting one of the images displayed.

These example images show how the Preview Search functions. The first screen that

appears has 24 images displayed. Each image represents the first second of each hour. If there is no image recorded during that period then nothing will be displayed. When an hour is selected (by double clicking on the image) then a new screen appears with 6 images. Each of these images represents a 10 minute segment of video. Once a 10 minute segment is selected (by double-clicking on the image) the final screen appears which breaks down that 10 minute segment into 1 minute increments (10 images).
