Emergency recording

1) The picture grade is “L6-30KB” and the recording rate is set to the value obtained by dividing the maximum emergency recording rate by the number of specified cameras.

When the LPA area is set in the main devic e , the

emergency recording data is stored in the LPA area and is automatically locked in 512 MB unit including the emergency recording data in order to prevent overwriting the data.

In LPA area, the data is always recorded at the rate set for alarm recording regardless of an input of the emergency signal. Therefore, when the emergency recording is started from the mid-part of the data block, the data recorded before the ground of the EMERGENCY terminal is stored in the locked area along with the emergency recording.

When you set the long pre-alarm recording time without

setting the LPA area, long pre-alarm recording is carried out using the internal memory for pre-alarm recording, so long pre-alarm recording is performed for the short time period regardless of the setting.

When emergency recording is carried out using the LPA

area, data is not stored chronologically and alarms are listed out of sequence. Be careful when searching for the desired picture.

When power failure occurs during emergency recording,

the emergency recording is cancelled after returning from the power failure.

When emergency recording is carried out during timer

recording, the end time of the timer recording is extended until the emergency recording is completed. The timer recording is finished after completing the emergency recording.

Long pre-alarm recording is a function to perform pre-alarm recording for a maximum of 60 minutes before the emergency recording is started.

To set LPA area, set the desired capacity in “Long Pre-

Alarm Area” (

When the long pre-alarm recording is started during

normal recording, not all the camera numbers set for long pre-alarm recording may be used for recording.

To perform the long pre-alarm recording by all the camera

numbers set for emergency recording: i) Set all the desired cameras to normal recording set-

ii) Set the “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.” (Normal recording) Set all the desired cameras to

iii) Set the “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.” Long pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture

Long pre-alarm recording is executed with the recording

rate of the normal or alarm recording set for that time period and with the picture grade of “L6-30KB.”

Cautionary notes for long pre-alarm recording

• When long pre-alarm recording time is set, the unit records the data in LPA area at all time s . Set the recording rate and picture grade carefully when long prealarm recording is performed simultaneously with normal or alarm recording. Depending on the setting, picture may be missed during recording. Particularly, in case of recording for serial bus HDD, set the recording rate not to exceed 120 pps.

The recording for LPA area is carried out for the longer

• time than the speciﬁed because the data in the LPA area is processed in 512 MB unit.

In the LPA area, alarm list or recording data may not be

• stored in the chronological sequence. The easier way to search the desired data is, before searching the data, search the oldest recording data using <Search by Time and Date>.

In the LPA area, all the existed recording data is deleted

• and overwritten when the capacity becomes full. It is recommended to make copy of the important data to the other medium using the function such as copy 2.

3. Set the sensitivity of detecting the changes of

loaded picture.

• T h e se n siti v ity is di v ided in t o 5 lev e ls of difference in the change of brightness.

When the sensitivity is set to “High,” the motion detection

may become too sensitive and it may detect even ﬂickering of the ﬂuorescent lighting.

4. Set the motion threshold.

• Set the minimum number of areas for starting the motion detection operation from the number of active areas within the detection area. Motio n dete c tion func t ion oper a tes when

• detecting the change that exceeds the number of areas set on this step.

Set “Motion Threshold” to the number less than that of the

active areas in the detection area. The motion detection function does not operate when setting “Motion Threshold” to a value exceeds that number

step

5. Set the reference interval time.

• This item is used to set the detecting interval. By setting this item, the motion detection works for the objects which move both fast and slowly. Set the longer interval for the object which moves slower and the shorter interval for the object moves faster.

step

6. Test the motion detection function on the condition

you have set.

• The color of the area detecting motion changes.

step

7. To copy another motion detection settings, use

“Same as settings.”

• Select “Copy Motion A” to copy the setting for the same camera number of Motion A.

• Select “Copy Motion B” to copy the setting for the same camera number of Motion B.

When change is detected continuously, some functions

such as setting change are not available because alarm recording is also continuously performed. In this case, motion detection function can be forcibly stopped for ﬁve minutes by setting the “Alarm Input” in the <Recording> menu to “Off.” You can change the settings by stopping recording during that period. This stopping is automati-

released ﬁve minutes after the operation, and regis-

cally

in the system log list. When you cancel the prohibi-

tered tion of alarm input manually

When both of the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel

and the motion detection are set for the alarm recording trigger, the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel is always given priority when both of the signals are input at the same time.

The M-DET indicator lights up while the motion detection

function is in operation.

The motion detection of this unit may not operate cor-

rectly depending on the conditions of input video signals especially when the “Sensitivity” is set to high setting. Be careful when connecting to a system, etc. that is set to notify the alarm when the motion detection function of this unit is operated.

To perform alarm recording for motion detection, set trig-

ger for alarm recording to “MD-A,” “MD-B,” “External / MD-A,” “External / MD-B,” “External & MD-A” or “External & MD-B,” and set alarm recording rate of the corresponding camera number to other than “– – –.”

The motion detection of this unit works by detecting the

changes of brightness. So, the malfunction due to the change caused by the lightning or sunlight may occur, and motion detection may not work on the conditions such as the colors of the background and the clothes are the same.

Be sure to test this function sufﬁciently before operation.

When the alarm of motion detection is input quite fre-

quently, operational speed of the functions such as alarm recording, communication, and screen display may be-

ome slow. It is recommended to use normal recording

c for the place where the motion is constantly detected.

The motion detection is performed even during PTZ op-

eration.

Power failure compensation circuit

The unit is equipped with an internalized power failure compensation circuit. When the unit has been charged for 48 hours (full), the date, time, timer record settings, and menu settings are kept up to 1 month without power. The accuracy of the time declines if the power plug is not connected to the wall outlet for and extensive period. In this case, it is recommended to check the present time setting.

Power failure reset recording

If there is a power failure during recording, the recording resumes after the power is restored. If there is a power failure during timer recording, the recording resumes after the power is restored when the present time is within the set time period of the timer. For alarm recording, recording will stop even the present time is within the set recording time.

When the power failure occurs during recording, the

recorded data may be damaged or playback of data may become impossible.

When the power failure occurs during recording, the

picture and audio of up to 6 MB just before the power failure are not recorded. When the pre-alarm recording time is set to other than 0 second, picture and audio of up to 32 MB are not recorded.

When the power failure occurs during alarm or emergency

recording, alarm or emergency recording is cancelled after the power is restored.

“REC ON” is registered in the system log list when the

recording is started, but it is not registered when the recording is resumed after a power failure.

The playback picture at the start position where recording

is resumed after a power failure may be disturbed and the search function may not operate properly for that position.

2) The alarm recording time per day is:

15 seconds multiplied by 80 times makes 1200 seconds

(20 minutes). The alarm recording time per month is:

3) 20 minutes multiplied by 30 days makes 600 minutes (10

hours). As the estimated recordable time is 76 hours;

4) Divide 10 hours by 76 hours makes 13.2 %.

Alarm area capacity is 20 % with some spare capacity.
