Major features

This digital recorder is able to record images captured by up to 16 surveillance cameras and audio received by up to 2 microphones to its hard disk. The recorder is equipped with the function to search for desired scenes by specifying the recording dates as well as the simultaneous recording/playback function that allows playback even during recording. In addition, using the split display function to display up to 16 camera images on one screen, you can view more than one monitored area at the same time. This recorder facilitates to conﬁ gure a monitoring system for constant surveillance.

Realizing long-term recording

By reducing the size of recorded video data using the newly developed video compression engine (MEPG 4 system), the writing capacity of HDD can be saved about 50% (compared with our conventional models). In addition, this recorder is designed to connect external HDD to expand its HDD capacity up to 16 TB (when using optionally available DX-ZD6UE). Due to this, you can construct a long-term recording system to store data for 2 years, for example.

Simple operation and USB mouse connectable

By connecting a separately available USB mouse to the serial bus terminal on the recorder, you can easily control the recorder and setting menus. For frequently used functions such as search and copy, the simple operation menu allows you to operate them by simple procedure. This recorder is equipped with the on-screen help function. By clicking the help icon or pressing the HELP button, you can view various information such as operation procedures on the screen.

DVD/CD drive for data copy integrated

Immediately after retrieving important reference data, you can copy the data to DVD/CD discs (DVD-R/DVD-RW, CD-R/CDRW) by the internal DVD/CD drive.

"One touch copy" for easy copying with one button press

The recorder is equipped with the function to copy still playback images to a USB memory device or DVD/CD disc with one button press. You can select still images or moving images to copy. When selecting moving images, you can specify the recording duration.

XGA output terminal integrated

You can connect a general PC display monitor to this terminal to use it as a surveillance monitor.

Motion detection search function

By designating certain areas such as doors and windows shown in recorded images as detection target areas, you can search for recorded data containing scenes having variation (or motion) in those areas and display the beginning of such data. This function is useful, for example, in searching for intruders into deserted places or scenes where someone painted grafﬁ ti on the wall.

Personal information protection function

By setting passwords, you can classify the recorder operations into 3 levels. You can set a password for deleting data from HDD to protect them from unauthorized access or to use this function as misuse prevention. The recorder is equipped with the function to prohibit playback of data recorded before the number of days you specify (auto expiration setting), which facilitates data management according to your operation standard regarding the data storage period.

Alarm notiﬁ cation of intrusion and system errors

When an alarm signal is input to the recorder from external body sensors or when an error is detected in the system, the recorder notiﬁ es the designated personal computer via TCP/IP command or e-mail. The recorder is also capable of transferring the alarm-recorded images that is triggered by an external alarm signal to the designated FTP server.

unplug the power cord. When this unit is exposed to excessive shock while being energized, the internal electronic parts or HDD may be damaged. Be careful especially while the power indicator or access indicator is blinking.

• Don't move this unit for at least one minute after you turn off the power. Even after the power is turned off, the disc

in the HDD keeps rotating by inertia for a while and the head is in an unstable state. This unit in such state is more vulnerable to vibrations and shocks than while being energized. Be careful not to give this unit even a slight shock for at least one minute after turning off the power. Wait at least one minute for the disc to stop, and then you can move the product.

• When moving this unit, cover it with shock absorbers to prevent shocks to the inside.

• When placing this unit on a ﬂ oor, lay it gently on a soft mat or cloth.

Maintenance

• Gently wipe dirt off the cabinet with a soft cloth.

• When dirt persists, clean it off using a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well and then wipe

dry.

• When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow its instructions.

• Don't use solvent such as benzene and thinner. Otherwise the surface of the product may deteriorate or the coating

may come off.

Notes for constructing a surveillance system using this unit

• This unit can be controlled by external devices via the external connector, RS-232C connector, or LAN connector. In

addition, external devices can be controlled via the external connector, RS422/485 connector, or RS-232C connector. These functions allow this unit to ﬂ exibly support an advanced security system. However, depending on the settings of this unit or connection or combination with external devices, this unit or externally connected devices may operate wrongly, causing adverse effects on the entire surveillance system.

• When constructing a surveillance system using this unit, you are recommended to check its operation by connecting or

combining it with other devices in advance.

• Don't use the alarm function of this unit for the purpose of making serious decisions or for applications involving human

lives.

• When this unit becomes unable to recognize an external device in recording because of a power failure, voltage drop,

or other failure, the recording point may move to the HDD inside this unit or other HDD. To prevent such symptom, it is recommended to use an uninterrupted power supply or other similar device.

• When you unplug the power cord or turn off the breaker during recording, the HDD may be broken or recorded data

may become unable to be played back. When you turn on and off the breaker every day, program the timer recording to be performed while the breaker is on and don't turn off the breaker during recording.

• When the user or any third party uses external devices wrongly, or external devices are affected by electric noise or

they are damaged or repaired, the saved data may be lost. Mitsubishi doesn't take any responsibility for damages related to such data loss.

• By connecting external HDDs to this unit, you can expand the memory or use them as a copy device. However, when

you perform recording, playback, or copy at a high rate using this unit, recording or playback data dropout or other failure may occur depending on the connected device because of slow data transfer or slow response. Be sure to check for such failure before starting the practical operation of the unit.

• Don't use the function to control the powers of external devices using the bus power of this unit.

• External devices you want to use may not be suitable for the intended application of this unit. For details, you are

recommended to contact your Mitsubishi dealer.

• When connecting external devices, be sure to secure the connected cables using the supplied clamp bands. When the

cables are disconnected or not connected ﬁ rmly, the system may become unstable or images may not be recorded.

• Don't disconnect the cables while this unit is running. Otherwise a failure may be caused.

Caution and care (continued)

For important recordings

• Be sure to perform test recording before starting the practical operation of this unit, and also check regularly that the

recording is performed correctly according to the settings during the practical operation.

• Mitsubishi doesn't compensate for data not recorded or not played back correctly because of a failure occurring in this

unit or connected devices during the use of this unit.

• As a preparation for unexpected breakdown or accident, you are recommended to make regular backups of important

recordings. Though digital signals don't deteriorate, playback or recording may become impossible because of aging deterioration of discs depending on the storage conditions.
