Before Use

Always take a trial shoot.

Before making important recordings, always take a trial shoot to confirm that recording works as expected. Especially when using “Backlighting Compensation” or “Night Shooting with the IR Function”, verify that your settings produce the desired results.

When using for the first time or when using in a place with a different time zone, set the correct time zone.

The factory default time zone setting is “Eastern Standard Daylight Saving Time”. When using in a different time zone, set the time zone for that region. (see “TimeZone” on page 79)

Recording officer data on this

unit allows you to find out the person performed recording later. (see “Setting up/Deleting

Officer Data” on pages 52, 53)

Use together with the Remote Control Panel and other specified, separately sold accessories.

This unit can be controlled by application software running on a Remote Control Panel or a PC (referred to as PC application in this manual).

•

For details on how to run the PC application, see the Operating Instructions of the PC application.

• Connecting a personal computer (referred to as PC in this manual) to this unit and starting up application software (referred to as PC application in this manual) on the PC freezes this unit in the live screen and disables the following operations.

Usable memory cards

The recorder is designed to use any P2 card having the “P2” logo.

Do not turn the power off while

recording.

Be sure to stop all operations before turning the power off (see “Stopping Recording” on page 22). Turning the power off especially during access (for example, during recording) may damage the P2 card or corrupt file management data, setting information and other data on the P2 card. If file data cannot be read correctly due to corrupted file management information on the P2 card, the card should be reformatted. For details on reformatting, refer to “Format” on page 86 or contact your supplier.

Before use

• In no event will Panasonic be liable for any damages, including any incidental

or consequential damages, stemming from a failure to record data or from lost settings or data. Any of the following actions can result in problems:

• Power supply to the recorder is interrupted or impaired during recording, for

example by starting an engine.

•

If a P2 card is ejected while it is being accessed (for example during recording).

Notes on Handling

Usage

• Do not remove a P2 card while it is being accessed, as the P2 card may be damaged or the P2 card slot may become disabled. When the recorder senses a disabled slot, it may reboot itself automatically.

• Do not set liquid containers or small metal objects on the recorder or P2 cards.

• Do not insert foreign objects into the openings of any devices.

• Do not attempt to modify the recorder or P2 cards.

•

Do not use the recorder in a place where it or a P2 card might get wet, or water might get inside them.

• The recorder is intended to work only with P2 cards. Do not attempt to use non-P2 cards, as that could damage the recorder.

• When inserting a P2 card, make certain that it is not upside down or backwards, and do not attempt to force a bent or damaged P2 card, as that could damage the card or P2 card slot.

• While the recorder is operating (and especially recording), do not disconnect the recorder’s power cable (included in the separately sold Cable Kit). Before disconnecting the power cable, first stop all operations and turn the recorder off. Otherwise, the P2 card may be damaged, or recorder setting files or management data on the P2 card may be corrupted.

Precautions for use of P2 cards (16 GB or higher capacity)

•

Use this unit to format new P2 cards. (see “Format” on page 86)

• A P2 card formatted in this unit contains the folders required for the Memory Card Video Recorder operation. Do not modify (delete, copy, move, etc.) these folders on a PC.

• A P2 card whose folders have been modified on a PC must be reformatted in this unit.

• Since the number of recording days and files on a P2 card is limited, exceeding the maximum number of recording days and files will detect an end of card event even if there is space left on the card.

Maintenance

• To clean the recorder, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position, and keep the recorder power turned off (see “Off” on page 19).

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol, as these can deform the case or damage the surface finish.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to dust off the recorder. If severely soiled, wipe it with a cloth moistened with a weak solution of mild synthetic detergent and wrung out, and afterwards wipe with a dry cloth.

• If using a chemically treated cloth, follow the instructions provided with it.

Starting and Stopping Recording

Recording

Recording Start Methods

• Press the [REC] button (the REC buttons on the recorder, Color Camera and Remote Control Panel all operate the same way)

• Apply a Recording Trigger

• When power-on recording is enabled, recording starts when the recorder is turned on

• Programmed Recording (see “Programmed recording” on pages 28, 29)

The prerecord function (see “Prerecording and postrecording” on pages 24, 25) records video for a pre-specified period prior to a recording-start trigger event (or pressing the [REC] button). The amount of the prerecord time is set from the Remote Control Panel. You can use this function to prerecord video without audio. An audio prerecord time, as well as an audio postrecord time, can be set independently, although it cannot be longer than the specified video prerecord/ postrecord time.

Recording Triggers

The following types of recording triggers are available.

• When [Action] set for detection of trigger signals (GPIO1 - 8) is “REC”, “CAM1REC” or “CAM2REC” and the trigger signal is valid.

• Vehicle Speed Signal

Speed data detected by the recorder

serves as a recording trigger when the specified speed is exceeded. This signal is handled as an edge signal to start recording, and is not used to stop recording.

Select from the following detection

methods according to the intended

application or installation conditions. Detection of own vehicle speed: Uses the vehicle speed pulse

(see “Speedpulse” on page 84, “Vehicle Speed Pulse Setting Table (at 40 mph)” on pages 106, 107 and “Vehicle Speed Pulse Setting Table (at 60 kph)” on pages 108,

109) or GPS Target vehicle speed: Uses a radar gun

Note:

To use the vehicle speed pulse, GPS or radar gun as the recording trigger, check with your supplier to ensure that connections have been made correctly, then specify the source device (see “Radar/GPS” on pages 83, 84, 85).

Notes:

• If both the vehicle speed pulse and GPS are enabled, the vehicle speed pulse has priority as the recording trigger. After the recording trigger is detected by vehicle speed pulse or GPS, if the vehicle is stopped or a speed of 5 mph or 5 kph below the set speed is detected, the recording trigger can be used again.

• Recording is allowed only when the [READY] lamp on the recorder is lit. If pressing the [REC] button or applying a recording trigger fails to start recording, the [REC] lamps on the recorder, Color Camera and Remote Control Panel blink at a high rate.

• The Remote Control Panel, the Color Camera and this unit [REC] lamps go on during recording.

Operation on the Memory

Card Video Recorder

(Continued on the next page)

Starting and Stopping Recording

(continued)

• Video input at the [CAMERA1] or [CAMERA2] connector (see “Setup” on page 34, “Selecting a camera” on page 55 and “Init Camera Select” on page 75) is recorded.

• Audio input at the [AUDIO IN 1,2] or [IN CAR MIC] connectors (see “Setup” on page 34, “Selecting Audio2 input” on page 59 and “Init Audio2 In Select” on page 75) is recorded.

• Recording stops if the P2 card slot cover is opened.

• Recording cannot start unless the P2 card slot cover is closed.

• Recording will not start while the user is configuring administrator settings, even if the level signal satisfies the recording start conditions. In this case, recording will still not start when the user quits the administrator settings. To start recording, the recording start conditions must be satisfied again after configuration of the administrator settings is finished.

• When multiple recording triggers are enabled, recording starts when the first recording start criteria are met, and if a prerecord time has been set, the specified period before the start event is also recorded.

• Recording will not start under the following conditions even if there is space left on a P2 card.

When the number of files recorded on the P2 cards inserted in slots 1 and 2 totals over 20,000 files.

- When the maximum number

of recording days on a 16 GB or higher capacity P2 card has been exceeded. (See “Format” on page 86)

- When, on a single day, the maximum number of files that can be recorded on a 16 GB or higher capacity P2 card has been exceeded. (See “Format” on page 86)

(However, when the [Rule

of Filename] is set to “WT”, recording can be started the next day (the next day according to world standard time) if the maximum number of recording days has not been exceeded. (see “Setup” on page 36 and “Rule of Filename” on page 76)

Stopping Recording

Setting criteria determines when recording stops. Settings that affect when recording stops include the stop timer setting for Rec Continue Time and the presence of the recording trigger level signal. The following conditions are handled in the same manner.

• When the [STOP] button on the recorder is pressed

• When the [STOP] button on the Remote Control Panel is pressed

• When the [REC] button on the Color Camera is kept pressed for about 2 seconds.

• When [Action] for detection of trigger signals (GPIO1 - 8) is set to “STOP” and the trigger signal has reached an active edge.

When the stop time of programmed recording (see “Programmed recording” on pages 28, 29) is reached.

•When a 16 GB or higher capacity P2 card is inserted and the maximum number of recording days or files has been exceeded.

Notes:

•

Continuous video and audio from starting to stopping recording, and including prerecording and postrecording periods, are recorded as one file on the P2 card.

• If recording time exceeds 17 hours, or if the size of one file would exceed 4 GB, the data is automatically split into multiple files during recording.

• Once recording starts, it may not be possible to stop it during the first five seconds (approx.). Pressing the [STOP] button during this period causes the [REC] lamp to blink for about one second as recording continues.

• Pressing the [STOP] button when recording is already stopped also causes the [REC] lamp to blink for about one second.

• When recording is stopped by the stop timer at the end of the Rec Continue Time, the postrecording function is disabled.

• After recording is started by a level trigger signal, it continues for at least one minute regardless of changes to the signal level. During this period, you can press the [STOP] button to interrupt the recording.

• If the [REC] button was pressed multiple times and the recording trigger set as the edge signal had multiple active edges, Rec Continue Time is applied to the last button press and active edge.

• Intermittent recording does not stop due to the Rec Continue Time.

Operation on the Memory

Card Video Recorder

On Recording

Write-protect switch

The P2 card is equipped with a writeprotect switch. Sliding this switch to the PROTECT position prevents writing data, formatting P2 cards and deleting files.

write-protect switch

PROTECT

Notes:

•

Any attempt to change the position of the write-protect switch during power-on will have no effect. To produce the effect, turn the power off and then turn it on again or remove the card and then insert it again.

• If the write-protect switch is set to the PROTECT position on any of the cards in the two card slots, recording will not start.

Prerecording and postrecording

Prerecording is the capability of including material from an interval before the specified start point in a recording. Similarly, postrecording is the capability of including material from an interval after the specified stop point in a recording. Prerecording and postrecording times can be set for each recording time. Audio prerecording and postrecording times can be set separately from video, so prerecording and postrecording audio may be partly omitted. Because video prerecording and postrecording time settings have priority, audio prerecording and postrecording times cannot be set longer than video prerecording and postrecording times.

•

If the remaining capacity of the P2

card is low, the prerecord time or postrecord time may become shorter.

•

Postrecording is interrupted by playback, trial shoot (RecCheck), file restoration or administrator setup.

Selecting the video source to record

You can select and record video input at the [CAMERA1] or [CAMERA2] connector on the rear panel of the recorder. Also, when the action set for the detection of trigger signals (GPIO1 - 8) is “CAM1REC” or “CAM2REC” and the trigger signal is enabled, the selected video is recorded. If prerecording is enabled and the video source is switched by a recording trigger, the prerecord video is taken from the source selected before switching, and the video is taken from the source selected after switching. You can select whether the video source is switched by the recording trigger or not, as well as selecting which video is recorded upon switching.

Audio sources when recording

The Memory Card Video Recorder can record up to two audio channels (Audio1 and Audio2). Out of the three audio input connectors on the rear panel ([AUDIO IN 1, 2], and [IN CAR MIC]), the signal of the source connected to the [AUDIO IN 1] connector will always be recorded on the Audio1. For the Audio2, you can select either the sound from the [AUDIO IN 2] connector or the [IN CAR MIC] connector. This selection is made using the Remote Control Panel. The following two audio recording modes are available: INCAR and WMIC

INCAR

Audio input at the [IN CAR MIC] connector is recorded on the second audio channel (Audio2).

WMIC

Audio input at the [AUDIO IN 2] connector is recorded on the second audio channel (Audio2).

Power-on recording

The recorder automatically starts recording when it is powered on. Also when the recorder is operating with the [PowerOff Time] setting, recording will start automatically when the recorder is turned on.

On Recording

(continued)

Intermittent recording

Intermittent recording records only one image per second extending recording time. Entering a recording trigger during intermittent recording interrupts intermittent recording and starts normal recording. Normal recording includes prerecording so intermittent recording and prerecording of normal recording may overlap during prerecording. When a recording stop criteria other than the [STOP] button are met, intermittent recording starts after postrecording.

Notes:

• When both intermittent recording and power-on recording are set to “ON”, intermittent recording starts in the intermittent recording mode when the recorder is turned on. (When intermittent recording mode is set to “OFF”, normal recording starts.)

•

When recording stops after the Rec Continue Time elapses, intermittent recording starts without activating postrecording.

• When prerecording time is set to something other than “0”, and a recording trigger starts normal recording during intermittent recording, the prerecording time is automatically set to start after the intermittent recording start time.

• The [REC] lamp lights during postrecording after a transition from normal to intermittent recording.

•

The Rec Continue Time setting does not function outside of a recording trigger.

Programmed recording

Programmed recording is a function that allows you to set recording to start and stop every day or on a specified day of the week. Programmed recording starts and stops recording according to intermittent recording setting. For example, when intermittent recording is set to “ON”, intermittent recording starts at the set start time.

• Recording started by a recording trigger, which takes precedence over programmed recording, is a normal recording. A recording started by a recording trigger continues even if programmed recording has been set to start during this recording interval. Programmed recording starts when a recording stop criteria other than the [STOP] button are met during recording started by a recording trigger. A recording started by a recording trigger is not stopped by a stop time set using the programmed recording function.

License Plate Recognition (LPR) Mode

Engaging the License Plate Recognition (LPR) mode allows you to start up the LPR system. Set the color camera shutter speed to [LPR Shutter Speed] (1/500 or 1/1000) when using the LPR system. When a recording trigger starts a recording during license plate recognition, however, the shutter speed automatically switches to the setting configured for [Patrol Shutter Speed]. When recording stop criteria are met, the shutter speed automatically returns to the setting configured for [LPR Shutter Speed] (1/500 or 1/1000). The diagram below shows how changes in LPR mode settings and starting and stopping recording by an officer affect shutter speed, camera zoom, OSD and the [LOCK] lamp.

Text Files Used with the Recorder

• If no definition is provided for a required item (that is, it is undefined), necessary data is considered to be incomplete and invalid for registration or testing. Identifiers are not case sensitive.

• All item definition values are character strings consisting of alphanumeric symbols other than “<” (3Ch), “>” (3Eh), “\” (5Ch), “&” (26h) and “,” (2Ch), control character codes 00h to 1Fh, and “Delete” character code 7Fh. Characters (including spaces) following “=” on a line are considered to be the definition value. Any invalid characters are handled as spaces. Characters exceeding the maximum character length are ignored.

• Identifiers having no defining characters are considered to be undefined. For example, if a line contains a “=” followed by a line feed character, that identifier is considered to be undefined. If an identifier is multiply defined on different lines, the last definition line has priority.
