Terms used in these operating instructions

HDD

Refers to a hard disk drive (mass storage medium). The unit records camera pictures on a hard disk rather than on video tape.

Recording rate (ips, I-Flame)

Refers to the unit that determines the smoothness with which the recorded images are played back. "ips" is used to express the number of frames recorded per second. The higher the number, the smoother the movement, but the available recording time becomes shorter. "I-Frame" is used to express the refresh interval of MPEG-4 image display set on the camera.

Resolution

Resolution refers to the degree of fineness and quality of the camera pictures recorded by this unit. This unit displays the resolution in number of dots. For example, if the number of horizontal dots is 640 and the number of vertical dots is 480, the display reads 640 x 480.

M-JPEG

A video codec that compresses video fields from the camera into independent JPEG images sequentially by query from the unit. Network load will be reduced comparing with the method that obtains JPEG images independently from the camera. However, the transmission rate will fluctuate depending on the state of the camera. Some cameras phrase this video codec as just "JPEG".

Manual recording

Function for starting and stopping recording manually by clicking the recording button or recording stop button.

Schedule recording

External recording mode

Function for changing the timetable using an external switch connected to the unit. The timetable will be in the external recording mode during the external switch is "ON".

SD memory recording/SD memory data

Function featured in some Panasonic’s cameras that saves images on the SD memory card on the camera when communication with the camera failed in the period set for the schedule recording of this unit. Images saved by the SD memory recording are described as "SD memory data" on these operating instructions. The recording time of SD memory data will be displayed based on the clock of the camera.

Event

An event is a phenomenon which triggers a specific operation (event operation) in the unit. Events are divided into terminal alarm, command alarm, and site alarm.

Sequence

Sequence refers to automatically changing the displayed camera picture in a preset sequence. Sequence display is possible while the unit displays live pictures.

Electronic zoom

Function for enlarging live and playback pictures. While the camera uses the camera zoom function to enlarge pictures, the electronic zoom function enlarges the picture electronically in the unit and displays it.

Camera control

Camera control refers to controlling the functions of the combination cameras connected to the unit. These functions include Pan/Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Brightness, Preset Operations (moving the camera to a preset horizontal/vertical position), and Auto (for example, automatic panning).

System Administrator

This refers to a person who has the responsibility and authority to operate the unit and perform settings.

Set the recording rate for the SD memory recording for each channel. The following recording rates are available for "SD MEMORY REC". OFF/0.1 ips/0.5 ips/1 ips When "OFF" is selected, the SD memory recording will not be performed for the respective channel.

Notes:

• The recording rate setting for "SD MEMORY REC" is available only for cameras with the SD memory recording function and their image compression method is set to "M-JPEG".

• The recording rate for "SD MEMORY REC" should be less than the recording rate set for "LIVE VIDEO". When the camera in use is WJ-NT304/WJ-NT314, recording will be performed at 0.2 ips even when "0.5 ips" or "1 ips" is selected for the recording rate for "SD MEMORY REC".

About the SD memory recording

The SD memory recording is the function of some Panasonic’s cameras that saves images on the SD memory card on the camera when communication with the camera failed in the period set for the schedule recording of this unit.

For example, when "0.1 ips" is selected, the camera will start the SD memory recording when no request for image obtainment from the unit is made for 10 seconds or more (equivalent to 0.1 ips*) in the time range of the set schedule. * The wait time to start the SD memory recording of the

camera differs depending on the set recording rate.

This unit can obtain images recorded on the SD memory card (SD memory data) and record them onto the hard disk drive. Obtainment of the SD memory data will be carried out in the following intervals. It is possible to check in the status display area if obtainment of the SD memory data is being carried out or not.

• At 15 minutes after every hour (0:15, 1:15, … 23:15)

• When there is 30 minutes or more between the last

schedule recording and the next schedule recording (In this case, all users will forcibly be logged out.) When obtaining the SD memory data after the schedule recording, all users will be forcibly logged out. It is also possible to obtain the SD memory data manually by clicking the SD memory data obtain button.

Refer to the operating instructions (PDF) for how to obtain images manually.

Important:

• The emergency recording will be performed at the recording rate set for "SD MEMORY REC" on the "Emergency REC" page (☞ page 34) when communication with the camera failed during the emergency recording.

• The SD memory recording will not be performed if communication with the camera is not established even when it reached the start time of the schedule or when the emergency recording is triggered.

• Do not set the recording rate of the SD memory recording for the same camera with multiple recorders.

• Synchronize the clock of the recorder and the cameras using the NTP function, etc. When they are not synchronized and have different time clocks, the SD memory recording may not work.

• The recording time of SD memory data will be displayed based on the clock of the camera.

Notes:

• All images recorded on the SD memory card may not always be obtained at a time depending on the time length between the schedules or the total size of the images. Images failed to obtain can be obtained automatically next time.

• SD memory data cannot be obtained when the following is being performed:

• Playback

• HTTP download

• Emergency recording

• External recording

Notes:

• It is impossible to record audio while performing the SD memory recording. When selecting ON for audio recording, the recording rate for "SD MEMORY REC" of the respective camera channel will automatically be set to OFF.

• Refer to the following table as reference for the pre-event recording.

[Measurement] button

It is possible to check if the set recording rate and transmission rate are available for the network in use by clicking the [Measurement] button. It will take around 90 seconds to check. In the process of the measurement, recording will stop. When the set rate is displayed red, recording/transmission may be failed with the set rate. Check if the result value (total value of the maximum network speed of each camera) is below the maximum network speed of the unit (30 Mbps as indication).

When the result value is beyond the maximum network speed of the unit (Example: 30 Mbps < 50 Mbps (result value)) When the result value is beyond the maximum network speed of the unit (30 Mbps as indication), refer each rate for "LIVE VIDEO", "MANUAL REC", "SCHEDULE REC" and "EVENT REC". Then, lower the higher rate

among them or lower image quality to diminish the network traffic from the camera. Click the [Measurement] button to check if the result value is below the maximum network speed. Repeat this procedure until the result value becomes less than 30 Mbps (as indication).

Important:

• When the result value is beyond the maximum network speed of the unit, the following may occur due to the heavy network traffic:

• Some images to be recorded may not be done.

• Some live images to be displayed may not be

done.

• Some alarms to be issued may not be done.

• Operational response may become slow.

• Even when the result value is below the network

speed (30 Mbps as indication), the above problems may occur depending on number of the connected cameras and PCs. The following table shows the reference values.

• Network traffic changes every moment. In any circumstances, the result value should be less than the maximum network speed of the unit (30 Mbps).
