Preface
Features
The Network Disk Recorders WJ-ND300A 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
video tapes 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-ND300A (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-ND300A" is the generic name of the network disk recorders WJ-ND300A 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, I-Frame)
Refers to the unit that determines the smootheness 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 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 720 and the number of vertical dots is 480, the display reads 720 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
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.
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.
5
External recording mode
Function for changing the time schedule through an external switch connected to this unit. While the switch is turned
on, recording is performed according to the time schedule specified for external recording.
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.
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, Brightness, 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.

About the Network Security of this Unit
Equipped Security Functions
q Access restrictions by the host authentication and the user authentication
It is possible to restrict users from accessing this unit by setting the host authentication and/or the user authentication to on. (page 75)
w Access restrictions by changing the HTTP port
