Calculating Disk Space Required

To determine how much disk space is required for storing timelapse and event data, use
the following two formulas and add the results together to get a total amount of disk space
needed.

Note The following calculations are for NTSC. For PAL, use the coefficient 1.49

instead of 1.26.

For timelapse:

For events: Image size x Record rate (fps) x number of seconds = Event disk space

For total timelapse

and events:

Total hours x Record rate (fps)

Image quality (compression)

In this example:

168 hrs x 5 fps

20

Event space x number of events per day x number of days = Total events disk space

In this example:

1

17,500

262,500 x 500 x 7 = 918,750,000 (or approximately 1 GB)

Timelapse disk space + total events disk space = Total disk space

In this example:

x 3 fps x 5 secs = 262,500 bytes

x 1.26 = Timelapse disk space

x 1.26 = 52.92 (approximately 53 GB)

53 GB + 1 GB = approximately 54 GB
for one week (168 hours) of timelapse and events recording.

1

one field is approximately 350 Kbps. Therefore, the stored image size is
field/compression = 350 K/20 = 17,500.

Rev 1.00 50 Document 900.0261

04/05

HRDV Reference Guide

Calculating How Many Hours the Disk Will Record

To determine how long a disk(s) will last, use the following formula:

Disk size x Image quality (compression) / Record rate (fps)

1.26

For example:

(100 GB x 20) /5

1.26

= 317 hours (or approximately 13 days)

Calculating Event Space Required

To determine how much disk space is required for storing event data, use the following
formula:

For events: Image size x Record rate (fps) x number of seconds = Event space

Event space x number of events per day x number of days = Total events

For example:

= hours

17,500 x 3 fps x 5 seconds = 262,500 bytes

262,500 x 500 x 7 = 918,750,000 or approximately 1GB

Timelapse and Event Recording Considerations

Timelapse recording and event recording settings are independent. For example, when an
event triggers an event recording, the system may be set to record at a higher frame rate
and/or at a lower compression rate. An event may be programmed to reset automatically
or it may be programmed to reset only when the operator activates the alarm reset input.
After the event is reset, the normal timelapse recording mode or pre-event recording mode
starts again (see Timelapse Recording Setup on page 61 and Motion Event Recording

Setup on page 77, respectively).

During system setup there are two different modes that tell the HRDV16/8 what to do when
the recording space on the disk is full (see Storage Setup on page 47):

• Recycle mode is similar to rewind and re-record for VCR tapes. In this mode the
operator is not warned when old data is being overwritten by new data.

• Stop means that the HRDV16/8 stops recording when the disk is full. In this case the
operator sees a blue screen with a text message on the video monitor with a warning
that the system needs to overwrite old data.

You may use the cursor controls to signal the system to re-record over old data, or to
stop recording to allow you time to archive data to another storage device before it is
lost.

Event Handling

Examples A Motion event may cause the camera that detected the motion to be recorded at a high

To calculate how much disk space is required for storing timelapse data, see Calculating

Disk Space Required, page 50.

Any event causes the HRDV16/8 to enter event mode. The HRDV16/8 automatically
detects:

• A full hard drive

• A system error

• Loss of video signal from any enabled camera

• Text, motion, and alarm events as defined in the Event Recording screens (see Motion

Event Recording Setup on page 77)

The HRDV16/8 can also operate as an event recorder (see Chapter 14, Pre-Event Recording

Setup).

When an event is triggered, the event recording or event action specified in Program mode
is started.

speed and low compression.

When the video signal of an enabled camera is lost, the event may trigger a beeping noise
or a text output to the monitor.

Rev 1.00 58 Document 900.0261

04/05

HRDV Reference Guide

There are two reset types that determine how events are cleared:

• In automatic mode, the event is reset as soon as the input signal returns to inactive.

• In timed mode, the alarm is active for the interval set. In this case, after the event timer
expires, the event must be deactivated before another timed mode alarm event can
be recognized.

Example If a door opening triggers an alarm event that lasts for 30 seconds, the event mode turns

off after 30 seconds, even if the door is still open. A timed alarm event cannot be triggered
again until the door is closed.

Text, alarm, and motion events can cause an event video clip to be recorded. An event
video clip records:

• The starting time and date of the event

• The type of event

• The video images that were recorded during the event

If the video camera title was being displayed and/or a Text Insertion port was set to display
text when the video clip was recorded, that text is also recorded along with the event video
clip.

During video clip recording, the HRDV16 can record up to 60 fields per second (fps) for
NTSC or 50 fps for PAL. The HRDV8 can record up to 30 fps for NTSC or 25 fps for PAL.
Normally you set up each event so that the maximum recording rate is not exceeded during
a single type of event. However, there could be times when multiple events occur at the
same time. In that case, the HRDV16/8 may be sent a recording request that would cause
the maximum recording rate to be exceeded. As events occur, each event is placed in a
queue and recorded at the rate set for it in Setup mode. As the unit nears the maximum
number of fps, each additional event causes the maximum recording rate to be exceeded.
This causes the HRDV16/8 to drop the rate at which all currently active events are being
recorded. The benefit is that all active events are recorded, even if they are forced to record
at a slightly lower recording rate.

Example You are using a PAL system and a text event is detected that causes camera 1 to be

re cor ded at 25 fps. An alar m in put causes camera 2 to be rec ord ed at 25 fps. Then a mo tio n
event is triggered that would normally cause camera 3 to be recorded at 20 fps, exceeding
the PAL maximum recording rate of 50 fps. The HRDV16/8 drops the recording rate of the
first two events to 12.5 fps and starts recording the third event at 12.5 fps. If further events
occur, the HRDV16/8 drops the recording rate, as needed, for all currently active events so
that there is some recording capacity available for the additional events.

To calculate how much disk space is required for storing event data, see Calculating Disk

Space Required, page 50.

Timelapse Recording Setup

Timelapse video clips are stored in the timelapse disk drive partition. This chapter
describes how to record and store timelapse clips only.

It is possible to schedule your HRDV to store both timelapse clips and event clips. Events
(motion, text, or alarm) generate event files that are written to the event partition. To store
event clips (for example, motion or text) in the event disk drive partition, see Chapter 13.

This chapter describes how to use the timelapse settings to:

• Select the global record rate and compression setting for timelapse recording

• Set the recording times for each day of the week

• Assign settings for up to ten holidays

• Set simple and advanced Timelapse mode

• Enable motion detect operation for timelapse clips

Caution If you use your HRDV16/8 as a combined timelapse/event recorder,

the event recording settings override the timelapse settings when an
event is detected. When the system detects an event, the event
recording settings are used instead. See Pre-Event Recording Setup
on page 83.

The following table describes the fields on the Timelapse Recording screen.

Field Description

Record Rate Set the global record rate, in fields per second. Each frame is a record of all the horizontal lines

of video and is made up of two fields. The total number of fields that can be recorded each
second by all 16 cameras cannot add up to more than 60 fields per second for NTSC (50 fps
for PAL).

For the HRDV8, the total fps that can be recorded by all 8 cameras cannot add up to more than
30 fps for NTSC (25 fps for PAL). Options are:

0, .1, .2, .5, 1 to 16 (5 is default), 20 to 60 in increments of five.

The lower the record rate, the longer you can record video before your storage disk is full.

Image Quality Set the global compression setting. The higher the quality, the slower the transmission of

images and the faster your storage disk fills. Options are:

High (10:1 or 15:1)
Medium (20:1 or 25:1) (default)
Low (30:1, 35:1, 40:1)
Very Low (45:1, 50:1)

Note The size of a single, high quality (10:1 compression), full frame color video image is

approximately 35 KB for NTSC.

Motion Mode Enables or disables Motion mode.

In the Normal Setup mode, you can program the HRDV16/8 to use a global record rate or
set a record rate for each camera. The global rate is common for timelapse VCR type
recording. Typically, 24 hour timelapse mode is equivalent to 5 fps and High Density
(real-time) timelapse recording is about 15 fps.

Disabling global record rate allows you to set the rate (fps) for each camera, in essence
allowing you to prioritize certain cameras to have more recorded images than others.

Setting Up Motion Zones

Use the Motion Zones screen to:

• Assign screen areas for up to four independent motion zones per camera

• Set individual sensitivities

• Set size of target (trigger size)

Testing the effectiveness of the motion triggers is key for optimal disk utilization.

When you use the motion detection function, a reference image is saved to provide a
background picture for motion detection. This reference image automatically updates at
regular intervals so that, for example, gradually changing light conditions will not trigger a
motion detection alarm. This reference update process is automated for optimal system
performance.

The following table describes the fields on the Zone Layout screen.

Field Description

Sensitivity Zone Assign each zone its own sensitivity using the sliders.

Trigger Size Set the target size for each zone and each camera. The trigger size buttons show

the number and arrangement of zone squares that must be active to trigger a
motion alarm.

Direction Assign a motion direction for each zone.

Test Beeper Enable (default) or disable the test beeper. Enabling the test beeper causes it to

beep when motion is detected.

Reverse Enabling the Reverse function causes the system to beep for the selected zones

whenever motion is not detected.

Caution Set up motion detection with consideration and care to prevent unnecessary

alarms. Moving shadows, sunlight through windows, the moving second hand
of a ticking clock, and so on, can cause unexpected and unwanted alarms if
they are not considered during system setup.

We recommend that you evaluate any motion detection setup for an extended
period of time (24 to 48 hours) to fine tune settings and to verify desired
operation.

The on-board motion detection is well suited to indoor applications.
Outdoor applications are susceptible to the vagaries of nature,
making it more difficult to anticipate all situations. Prior to final
outdoor use, extensive testing under a variety of conditions is
recommended.

The motion detection function is responsive—accurate and quick to detect motion.
However, the more cameras that use motion detection at the same time, the slower the
detection processing speed. If multiple cameras use motion detection simultaneously, we
recommend that you individually review the motion detection for each camera during
various activity periods. This helps you verify that motion detection is performing at the
desired response level.

The Zone screen divides the screen into small squares. To set up zones for all four zones:

1. Move the cursor to highlight the motion detection screen, then press Enter.

2. Use the front panel buttons to move to the first square you want to assign to zone 1.
Use Camera button 1 to assign the square you are on to zone 1.

3. Move to any additional squares you want to assign to zone 1, then press Camera
