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.

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.

Page 7

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).

Summary of the RAID 5 function (Redundant Arrays for Independent Disks, independent data disks with distributed parity blocks)

It is possible to use the RAID 5 function with the optional RAID board (WJ-NDE301). RAID level 5 regards 3 or more drives as one drive, and it is possible to read data by attaching error correction data even though one of the drives is broken automatically. (It is impossible to recover data if two drives are simultaneously damaged or the second drive data fails during the data recovery process.) When using the RAID function, the logical disk size of the extension unit will be as below. Logical disk size = Smallest size of the disk among the disks in the extension unit x (Number of the disks in the extension unit – 1) Note: Depending on the model of a hard disk drive, the logical disk size may be a few percent smaller than the size resulting from the formula above.

Important:

• It is impossible to use the RAID function with the WJ-ND300 alone if the WJ-ND300 in use is not featured the built-in RAID board.

• The settings relating to the RAID function can be performed on the setup menu displayed on the LCD on the front panel of the unit. Refer to the Installation Guide for further information.
