Features

The Network Disk Recorders WJ-ND300 series are designed for use within a surveillance system, and perform recordings and playbacks pictures from network cameras in the system. The network disk recorder is a recording device using a hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead of using videotapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwriting will not experience deterioration of the recorded picture quality. Up to 32 cameras can be connected via a network and it is possible to record their camera pictures. It is possible to perform the settings or operate the WJ-ND300 (this unit) using a web browser installed on a PC connected to a network. Up to 8 PCs (web browsers) can access this unit concurrently and it is possible to perform the settings and operate this unit. "WJ-ND300" is the generic name of the network disk recorders WJ-ND300 series.

Various Recording Functions

• Multi-recording

It is possible to perform multiple recordings using a single network disk recorder even if the operating environments are different, for example, recording pictures of cameras in different places at different times.

• Schedule recording

It is possible to perform recording automatically at a scheduled time on a designated day of a week. It is also possible to perform recording at a different recording rate according to time range.

• Emergency recording

In the case of an emergency, emergency recordings will be given a higher priority than other recording modes by operating an external switch.

• External timer recording

It is possible to perform recording automatically using an external timer.

• Event recording

At an event occurrence, such as an alarm signal is supplied, the recording mode (quality and recording rate) can be changed to high quality to record pictures.

Downloading/Transmitting Images

It is possible to download (save) the currently displayed image in the web browser window onto the hard disk of a PC. By establishing an FTP server, it is possible to transmit images to the designated FTP server periodically. When an event occurs, it is possible to transmit images from the camera installed in the place where the alarm occurred.

Event Notification Function

When an event occurs, it is possible to send e-mails to designated addresses to notify of the event occurrence. It is also possible to send an e-mail with an image recorded when the event occurred.

Security Function and Reliability

• User authentication function (registration of ID and password) allows users access to predetermined selection of the available functions. Up to 32 users can be registered.

• Host authentication function restricts devices from operating this unit if their IP addresses are not registered.

• If a hard disk crashes, the RAID 5 function prevents any recorded pictures loss.

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)

Refers to the unit that determines the smootheness with which the recorded images are played back. It expresses the number of frames recorded per second. The higher the number, the smoother the movement, but the available recording time becomes shorter.

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 720 and the number of vertical dots is 480, the display reads 720 x 480.

Manual recording

Function for starting and stopping recording manually by clicking the [REC] button or [REC STOP] button.

Schedule recording

Function for starting and stopping recording automatically at a preset time.

Event recording

Function for starting recording automatically when an event occurs. Event recordings are divided into pre recordings (pictures before the event occurs) and post recordings (pictures after the event occurs).

Emergency recording

Function for performing priority recording in emergency situations, etc. through an external switch connected to the unit.

External recording mode

Function for changing the programmed time schedule through an external switch connected to the unit.

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 camera site alarm.

Event Action

Event action refers to a specific operation performed when an event occurs. Event operations are divided into ALM (Alarm Mode), ADM (Activity Detection Mode), and are selectable. In ALM, the occurrence of an event is announced by screen display, LED, or buzzer (Alarm Operation). In ADM, the occurrence of an event is not announced, but the unit starts event recording, performs the preset operations, and enters the event into the event log. In OFF mode, the unit only enters the event into the event log.

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, Iris, Preset Operations (moving the camera to a preset horizontal/vertical position)), and Auto (for example, automatic panning).

A-B repeat playback

Function for playing back repeatedly between a set start point (A) and an end point (B) in playback mode.

HDD safety mode

Function for turning off the power supply to the HDD to prevent damage of the HDD due to vibration and shock if the unit is mounted in or dismounted from the rack with the power turned on.

Disk config

When an HDD is replaced, removed, or added, the HDDs need to be newly configured. Disk config refers to the menu for performing these HDD settings.

RAID (RAID5)

This stands for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks. It refers to a technology to implement a high-speed largecapacity and high-reliability disk unit by distributing access to multiple HDDs. If trouble occurs in one of the HDDs, the data on the faulty HDD can be recovered based on the error correction data recorded on the other HDDs. (RAID5 is used when 3 or more HDDs are connected. If trouble occurs simultaneously in 2 or more HDDs, the data of the faulty HDD cannot be recovered.)

System Administrator

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