Introduction

Technical Overview

In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation, your DVR has many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than even the most advanced VCR.

The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost instantaneously; there is no need to rewind tape. The technology also allows you to view recorded video while the DVR continues recording video.

Digitally recorded video has several advantages over analog video recorded on tape. There is no need to adjust tracking. You can freeze frames, fast forward, fast reverse, slow forward and slow reverse without image streaking or tearing. Digital video can be indexed by time or events, and you can instantly view video after selecting the time or event.

Your DVR can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can define times to record, and the schedule can change for different days of the week and user-defined holidays.

The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full, or it can be set to record over the oldest video once the disk is full.

Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter video.

You can view video and control your DVR remotely by connecting via modem or Ethernet. There is a SCSI port that can be used to record or archive video to external hard disk drives, and there are also three USB ports that can be used to upgrade the system or copy video clips to external hard disk, CD-RW and flash drives.

Note This manual covers the 9- and 16-channel digital video

recorders. The DVRs are identical except for the number of cameras and alarms that can be connected and the number of cameras that can be displayed. For simplicity, the illustrations and descriptions in this manual refer to the 16-camera model.

Operation

The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing, and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.

Note This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and

configured. If it has not, please refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.

The front panel controls are described in Chapter 3, Configuration.

Turning on the Power

Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2, Installation, it is ready to record.

Operation

Live Monitoring

As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live video on the attached monitor and playing live audio through the attached speaker. The default mode is to display all cameras at once. Pressing any camera button will cause that camera to display full screen. It displays live video and plays live audio until the user enters another mode.

Pressing DISPLAY cycles the DVR through the different display formats.

The DVR can be set to display full-screen video for a preset dwell time when an Event occurs. Video from the lowest camera number associated with the event sensor will be displayed, the DVR will return to the previous screen format after the event monitoring dwell time expires. While the event monitoring is activated, the monitoring for all other subsequent events will be ignored. Pressing individual camera buttons or the DISPLAY button during event monitoring releases the current event monitoring and displays the selected camera or returns to the previous screen format.

Pressing SEQUENCE causes the cameras to display sequentially. When in one of the multi-view formats, pressing this button will cause the DVR to go through predefined screen layouts (Full Sequence). Or, the bottom-right screen will display live cameras sequentially (Cameo Sequence). Selecting another display mode, or pressing SEQUENCE again exits the Sequence mode. When in one of the multi-view formats, pressing the Left or Right arrow buttons will cause the DVR to go to the previous or the next page. For example, if you press the Right arrow button in the 2x2 format, the DVR changes pages as follows:

If all the cameras in a page are Off, have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the user has authority to view covert cameras), that page will be excluded from the sequence.

Note The Full Sequence for the full sequence monitoring and the

Cameo Sequence for the cameo sequence monitoring should

be selected in the Display setup screen, Sequence tab (see

Display Screen, page 66).

Pressing FREEZE will freeze the current image on the screen until you press the button again. While in the Freeze mode, the icon displays in bottom-left corner if Freeze is selected in the Display setup screen (OSD tab).
