Introduction

Digital video recording is now widely
considered THE trend of future video
surveillance technology. Yet, we took
more than a few steps ahead with the
SecurityDVR LTR-3100, a truly
revolutionary product that also
demonstrates the ultimate art of
integration.

SecurityDVR LTR-3100 is a never­before-seen product that combines a
4-channel DVR, a Quad Processor,
and a WebCam Server all in one unit.
It is so designed to provide reliability,
connectivity, ease of use, and cost­effective application.

With M-JPEG encoding for both hard
disk recording and playback, LTR­3100 delivers uncompromised digital
image quality that truly eliminates
video degradation found with
conventional VCR. The removable
hard drive mechanism allows you to
backup data with ease. By using the
on-screen-display (OSD) menu alone,
you can control all functions of Quad
Processor that provides a variety of
how video from each channel is
displayed. You can also check on the
monitored area from any corner of the
world with Internet access at any time.
LTR-3100 is immediately ready for
various types of network, such as
Ethernet, xDSL or cable modem
routers for your specified surveillance
application.

This ingeniously integrated product is
a perfect replacement for a costly
system constructed of several
separate pieces of analog equipment. Not only can it reduce maintenance
cost and increase management effectiveness, it is also one of the most cost­effective surveillance system on the market.

Press the SLOW button to playback the video in the normal speed.

In rewinding at the normal speed

Press the REV button to speed up the rewinding. The rewinding will go even
faster each time you press the REV button again.

Press the FWD button to slow down the rewinding. Each time you press the
FWD button again the rewinding goes slower and eventually turns into fast
forward motion. Keep pressing the FWD button will speed up the fast forward.

Press the SLOW button to playback the video in slow reverse motion. Press it
again to return to the normal rewinding speed. When the rewinding is faster
the normal speed, pressing the SLOW button will playback the video in normal
forward motion.

Playback (Cont'd)

Fast Forward/Rewinding Speed

Assuming the normal playback speed

is 1x, the normal rewinding speed
would be -1X. Each time the FWD button is
pressed (but not held down), you add 1x to
the fast forward speed. Likewise, each time
the REV button is pressed, you add -1x to the
rewinding speed, which means the video
rewinds faster.
Certain speeds are programmed in the FWD
and REV buttons when they are pressed and
held down for more than 1 second. The speed
depends on how long the button is held down:

1 sec. 2 sec.

FWD button 25x 50x
REV button -25x -50x

After 3 seconds the fast
forward/rewinding will
start refreshing with 5
minutes of video apart
between each frame for
three frames; and then
continue with 1 hour
apart.

Time Searching

When the system is playing back video, you can choose to view the video
that was recorded during a certain period of time. Press the REC button
while playing back video will display the Time Searching OSD on the screen
as shown in the screen shot on the left hand side below.

Pressing the REV (left arrow) or SLOW (right arrow) button will bring out the
highlight (the screen shot on the right hand side above) that allows you to
set the Present time for Time Searching. After you finish setting the time,
press the REC (OK) button to start searching. The screen will display the
frozen picture of the searched time.

The Start and End time display on the screen remind you of the starting
and ending time of the entire length of video.

If no video was recorded at the starting time set for Time
Searching, the system will find what's closest to the setting
time and display it.

The system's failing to find the accurate starting time may be
caused by the difference between Quad Processor timer and
system timer. Be sure to synchronize both timers to have an
accurate time searching result.

We suggest that you set the system timer (see page E-20)
and Quad Processor timer (see page E-11) when you use
the product for the first time.

(See page? for how to use the buttons on the front panel to control the OSD)
