Before using this product

Face matching function

Face recognition refers to a function that uses a connected camera supporting this function to detect facial features of people and matches them against similar facial features recorded earlier or contained in live images. The matching accuracy varies depending on installation, settings and adjustment of the camera, ambient environment and object. Matching of facial features may therefore not work under the following conditions:

•When illumination is not uniform, for example, outdoors

•When the face is partially concealed (mask, sunglasses, helmet, etc.)

•When the face is not facing the camera

•When a subject is moving very fast

•Under the influence of strong external light (such as the headlights of a car, rising sunlight or setting sunlight)

*Configure the settings of the camera supporting this function before attempting to use the face matching function.

Motion detection (VMD) function

The motion detection (VMD) function of cameras detects motions referring to changes of luminance (brightness) in areas set in advance.

The motion detection function will not effectively work in the following situations or may sometimes be malfunctioning.

•When there is a very little difference in luminance (brightness) between a background and a subject

•When brightness of images is low such as at night

•When a subject moves very slow

•When a subject is very small

•When the amount of rays of light incidence changes frequently such as at a window or outdoors.

•When light such as sunlight or car headlight comes from outside

•When a fluorescent lamp flickers

•When a subject has depth

When configuring the motion detection settings, check the function performance both in daytime and at night after appropriately configuring the area settings and the sensitivity settings according to the camera installation conditions and possible movement of subjects. When the detection function does not work or false detection occurs, use a sensor separately. Refer to the operating instructions of the camera for further information.

Time display of recorded images

When displaying recorded images, the displayed time and date may sometimes skips. This is not malfunction. The displayed time and date on the monitor and the recorder may sometimes not be exactly the same. This is also not malfunction.

7

Black screen displayed when playing recorded images

In the following cases, a black screen may be displayed during playing recorded images. However, this is not malfunction.

•When changing cameras or screen patterns during playback or pausing

•When skipping/reverse skipping during playback

•When fast forwarding/reverse fast forwarding during playback

•When the [Go to last] button is cliked during playback on a multiscreen

•When going to the next recording event list by fast forwarding/reverse fast forwarding or skipping/reverse skipping during playback

•When playback operation is affected by another operation (such as when receiving multiple alarms sequentially or when copying is being performed simultaneously)

Recording operation (recording mode)

It is possible to connect up to 16 cameras to the recorder and record images from them on the hard disk drives. The following recording operations are available.

Schedule recording:	Recording that is automatically performed at the designated time range on the desig-
	nated day(s) of the week
Event recording:	Recording that is automatically performed when an event occurs (such as terminal
	alarm/camera site alarm, etc.)

Important:

•Recording may not be performed for around 3 seconds in the following cases. However, this is not a malfunction.

•When the settings are changed and the setup menu is closed during recording

•When the resolution, image quality or the recording rate is changed during recording

•When event recording starts or ends during recording
