Before using this product
About the face matching function (option)
By registering the license of the additional business intelligent kit, the face matching function, that detects faces
whose features are closed to the registered faces by comparing face images in live image with the registered
face images, will become available. 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•
Faces are interrupted by such objects as medical masks, sunglasses or helmets.•
Faces are not directed to the front side.•
Photographic subjects are moving quickly.•
Under the influence of strong external light (such as the headlights of a car, rising sunlight or setting sun-•
light)
* 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 date & time may sometimes skips. This is not malfunction.
The displayed date & time on the monitor and the recorder may sometimes not be exactly the same. This is
also not malfunction.
Response to the mouse operations

Single mode: Images and audio from the cameras will be recorded on the HDD of this product in
order.
Mirroring mode: The same images and audio from the cameras will be recorded on the 2 HDDs of this
product. When one of the 2 HDDs is replaced with a new one, it is possible to copy
data on the other HDD to the replaced HDD. The HDDs of the extension unit are not
available for this mode.
RAID5 mode: Even if one of the HDDs becomes faulty, recorded images can be recovered using the
other remaining HDDs in this mode. The HDDs of this product are not available. 3 or
more HDDs are required in the extension unit.
RAID6 mode: Even if 2 of the HDDs become faulty, recorded images can be recovered using the
other remaining HDDs in this mode. The HDDs of this product are not available. 4 or
more HDDs are required in the extension unit.

Sub monitor (monitor for display of live images only)
Important:
Configuration and operation of the recorder from the sub monitor is not possible.•
Live images from the specified cameras can be displayed on 1-screen or 4-screen/16-screen (9-screen) on the
sub monitor. When several cameras are selected on 1-screen or 4-screen, camera images will be switched
sequentially at the selected switching interval (sequence display). In addition, camera images can be switched
according to the signal input triggered by a terminal alarm. (☞ Page 50)
Note:
The date & time and camera also appear on the camera image displayed on the sub monitor, but some •
characters may be cut off.
To display images, it is necessary to select the cameras to be displayed in the setup menu in advance. The •
recorder is not configured to display camera images by default.
Depending on the selected switching interval, a black screen may appear before camera images are dis-•
played.
When the secret view function is selected, the single screen on the main monitor or selected images on a •
multiscreen will not be displayed.
While "1-screen live sequence" is being performed, the secret view images will be skipped (not displayed).•
The image of a camera where an error has occurred will not be displayed.•
The size of displayed images will be fit into the screen regardless of the aspect ratio.•
Depending on whether enabling or disabling the display switchover or the re-encoding transmission of the •
main monitor, the frame rate or the resolution of camera images on the sub monitor may vary, or the sub
monitor may momentarily go black. Likewise, when the camera images on the sub monitor switches, the
frame rate or the resolution of camera images on the main monitor may vary, or the main monitor may
momentarily go black.
