or cause malfunction. Performance and lifetime of hard disk drives are easily affected by heat (used at high
temperature). It is recommended to use this product at temperatures between +20 °C to +30 °C.
Power cable
Connect the power cable rmly. Align the connected power cable not to be pulled/stressed. To cut the power
supply, unplug the power plug of this product from the AC outlet. When using the power supply control unit,
turn off the power of the power supply control unit.
Built-in backup battery
The built-in battery life is approximately 5 years as an indication of replacement. (The built-in battery life

The lifetime of hard disk drives is limited by use. Write errors may occur frequently after around 20 000
hours of operation, and the head and motor deterioration may occur after around 30 000 hours of operation.
They will reach the end of their lifetime after 30 000 hours of operation if they have been used at the
recommended ambient temperature (approx. +25 °C).
It is recommended to replace them after around 18 000 hours of operation to prevent data loss from disk
failures.
When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immediately.

Chapter 1 — Introduction
Features
Your color digital disk recorder provides recording capabilities for 8 camera inputs. It provides exceptional
picture quality in both live and playback modes, and offers the following features:
8 Composite Video Input Connectors
H.264 Codec
Multiple Monitor Connectors: 1 VGA, 1 Spot
Multiple Search Engines (Date/Time, Calendar, Record Table, Event)
Real-time Recording (200 Images per Second with Very High (D1) Resolution)
Continues Recording while Transmitting to Remote Site and during Playback
User-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) Menu System
Multiple Recording Modes (Time-lapse, Pre-event, Alarm, Motion and Panic)
4-Channel Audio Recording and 1-Channel Audio Playback
Live or Recorded Video Access via Ethernet
Self-diagnostics with automatic notication including hard disk drive S.M.A.R.T. protocol
Technical Overview
In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation, your recorder has
many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than even the most advanced VCR.
The recorder converts analog 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 recorder 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 recorder can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can dene times to record, and the
schedule can change for different days of the week and user dened holidays.
The recorder 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 recorder uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter video.
You can view video and control your recorder remotely by connecting via Ethernet. There are two USB ports
that can be used to upgrade the system or copy video clips to external ash drives.

2
Video Output Connector
If you would like to connect your video source to another device, you can use the Video Output BNC
connectors.
Note: The Video Output BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do NOT connect a cable to the Video
Output BNC unless it is connected to a terminated device because it will cause poor quality
video.
3
Audio Input/Output Connector
Your recorder can record audio from up to four sources. Connect the audio sources to
Audio Input Connectors 1 to 4 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect Audio Out to your
amplier.
Note: It is the user’s responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio.
The recorder does not have amplied audio output, so you will need a speaker with an amplier.
The recorder does not have a pre-amplier for audio input, so the audio input should be from an
amplied source, not directly from a microphone.
4
Maintenance (eSATA) Port
Use this port to perform maintenance operations. Do not use for normal operation.
5
Alarm Input/Output Terminal
Note: To make connections on the Alarm Terminal Strip, press and hold the button and insert the wire
in the hole below the button. After releasing the button, tug gently on the wire to make certain
it is connected. To disconnect a wire, press and hold the button above the wire and pull out the
wire.
[AI1] to [AI8] (Alarm Input): You can use external devices to signal the recorder to react to events.
Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the [AI] (Alarm Input) and [GND] (Ground) terminals. The
threshold voltage of electrical switches for [NC] (Normally Closed) is above 2.4 V and for [NO] (Normally
Open) is below 0.3 V, and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected. The voltage range of alarm
input is from 0 V to 5 V. See “Chapter 3 ─ Conguration” for conguring alarm input.
[GND] (Ground): Connect the ground side of the Alarm input and/or alarm output to the [GND] terminal.
Note: All the connectors marked [GND] are common.
17
[NC]/[NO] (Relay Alarm Outputs): The recorder can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights.
Connect the device to the [C] (Common) and [NC] (Normally Closed) or [C] and [NO] (Normally Open)
terminals. [NC]/[NO] is a relay output which sinks 2A@125VAC and 1A@30VDC. See “Chapter 3 ─
Conguration” for conguring alarm output.
[ARI] (Alarm Reset In): An external signal to the Alarm Reset In can be used to reset both the Alarm Out
signal and the recorder’s internal buzzer. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the [ARI] (Alarm
Reset In) and [GND] (Ground) terminals. The threshold voltage is below 0.3 V and should be stable at least
0.5 seconds to be detected. Connect the wires to the [ARI] (Alarm Reset In) and [GND] (Ground) terminals.

RS485 Terminal
The recorder can control PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras using RS485 half-duplex serial
communications signals. Connect [RX+/TX+] and [RX–/TX–] of the control system to the [A] and [B]
(respectively) of the recorder. See “Chapter 3 ─ Conguration” and the PTZ cameras manual for
conguring the RS485 connection.

Factory Reset Switch
The recorder has a Factory Reset Switch to the right of the RS232 terminal on the
rear panel. This switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to
return all the settings to the original factory settings.
Important: When using the Factory Reset Switch, you will lose any settings you have saved.
(Excluded camera titles you can change in the Web Browser.)
To reset the unit, you will need a straightened paperclip:
1. Turn the recorder off.
2. Turn it on again.
3. While the recorder is initializing, the front panel indicators will blink. When the front panel indicators blink,
poke the straightened paperclip into the unlabeled hole to the right of the RS232 terminal.
4. Hold the reset switch until the recorder’s internal buzzer sounds twice.
5. Release the reset switch. All of the recorder’s settings are now at the original settings it had when it left the
factory.

Monitor Output Connector
(VGA)
A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync
computer monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your
monitor to connect it to the recorder.
Connect the spot monitor to the [SPOT] connector as needed.
Note: Connect the monitor before the recorder boots so that video can be displayed on the monitor
with the resolution you have set during system setup.
:
Network Port
The recorder can be networked using the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connector. Connect
a Cat5 cable with an RJ-45 jack to the recorder connector. The recorder can be networked
with a computer for remote monitoring, searching, conguration and software upgrades. See
“Chapter 3 ─ Conguration” for conguring the Ethernet connections.
Important: The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire
intended for outdoor use.
;
Power Inlet
Connect the provided AC power cord to the recorder and then to a wall outlet.
WARNING: ROUTE POWER CORDS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT A TRIPPING HAZARD. MAKE CERTAIN
THE POWER CORD WILL NOT BE PINCHED OR ABRADED BY FURNITURE. DO NOT
INSTALL POWER CORDS UNDER RUGS OR CARPET.
THE POWER CORD HAS A GROUNDING PIN. IF YOUR POWER OUTLET DOES NOT HAVE
A GROUNDING PIN RECEPTACLE, DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE
CIRCUIT BY PLUGGING TOO MANY DEVICES IN TO ONE CIRCUIT.
Your recorder is now ready to operate. Refer to “Chapter 3 ─ Conguration” and “Chapter 4 ─ Operation”.
