Installation

This installation should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.

● Cautions

Places to avoid

• Direct exposure to sunlight or near a source of heat such as a radiator.

• Very dirty and dusty places. Places subject to strong vibrations.

• Near a transformer, dimmer, video player, radio, or monitor. These may cause humming noises, etc.

About mounting

• Do not block the ventilation openings or slots in the cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.

• Always keep the temperature in the rack within +45 °C (113 °F).

• Secure the rear of the appliance to the rack with additional mounting brackets (procured locally), if the rack is subject to vibration.

■ Installing the Hard Disk

There is space for up to 8 hard disks. The unit is provided with four IDE interfaces, allowing installation of up to eight hard disks.

1. Turning off the power. Please check the rear of the unit and confirm that the power switch is turned off, the power cord has been disconnected, and the [OPERATE] indicator is off.

2. Remove the top cover. Remove four screws on the side panel and five screws at the rear to remove the top cover (see Fig. 1).

3. Remove the hard disk fixing frame. Of the five hard disk fixing frames, the three frames nearest the front panel can accept two hard disks each. The two frames near the rear panel will accept one hard disk each. If you need to remove a hard disk fixing frame, be careful not to damage the fan connection terminal and the hard disk cable. (Fig. 2)

HDD fixing frames

Page 12

4. Ready the hard disk and install wire jumpers. To connect two hard disks to one IDE interface, make sure to designate one as the Master HDD and the other the Slave HDD. If only one hard disk is connected, make this the Master HDD. (For connection of the Master and Slave HDD, refer to the operating instructions of the hard disk.) Pay attention to the following when choosing the connection position of the Master and Slave HDD. (1) When connecting two hard disks to IDE port 1, make the one on the left the Master and the one on the right the Slave,

as seen from the front of the recorder. See Fig. 3.

(2) When connecting three pairs of hard disks to IDE port 0, 2 and 3 (6 in total), make the top one the Master and the bot-

tom one the Slave (see Figs. 3 and 5).

Note: Port 0 was installed to the two disks installed model. Port 0 and 1 were installed to the four disks installed model. (For the relation between hard disk positions refer to the figure above or the explanation on hard disk management on page 47.)

5. Insert the hard disk into the hard disk fixing frame. Fix it with four screws at the side of the frame. (Fig. 4, 5)

6. Insert the hard disk fixing frame in the proper location inside the recorder and fix it with a screw (Fig. 6). (Be careful not to damage the fan connection terminal and hard disk cable.)

2.4 Operations for Events

2.4.1 Event type

Terminal Alarm: An event input to be entered from a sen-

sor to the TERMINAL port of this unit.

Motion Detection: An event to sense and record the move-

ment of an object with the aid of the motion detector function (refer to Cautions below).

Cautions:

1. The external alarm input or the motion detector alarm input is a signal to start recording. If an alarm arises during recording, recording is just continued.

2. When the motion detector function senses the movement of an object, the sensor generates a signal output by sensing the variation in brightness.

Video Loss: Loss of a video signal caused as a result of

camera signal cable disconnection or camera malfunction.

2.4.2 Action at an event

When an event occurs, this unit identifies the event and an alarm action is taken according to the setup conditions.

• When an event occurs, the [ALARM] indicator blinks. The indicator is simultaneously lit up when automatic resetting has been activated.

Caution: Automatic resetting is set up so that an alarm

action is automatically finished after the lapse of a specified time after the event occurs. This time setting is made with the menu shown below. "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TERMINAL REC" - "Alarm Time" "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "VMD REC" - "Alarm Output" After the automatic resetting function is effective, the system returns to the status before the alarm went off. When the [ALARM RESET] button is pressed, the [ALARM] indicator goes out.

• Time and contents of an event are recorded in "WJRT208 SETUP MENU" – "REPORT" – "EVENT LOG".

• Event state of the specified channel will be displayed.

Caution: During an external or motion detector alarm,

each relevant icon is displayed as shown below. The external alarm icon is displayed with the mark and the motion detector alarm icon with the

mark. If the video signals are lost, "NO SIGNAL" is displayed in the position for channel name.

Page 28

3. Even though an alarm occurs, no automatic recording is carried out unless "Period1" or "Period2" of "TERMINAL REC" and "VMD REC" has been set at "On".

4. Information about external alarms is directly sent to the PC through the network. It has no relation to the "TERMINAL REC" and "VMD REC" setting at the recorder. Please refer to <<Network Operating Instructions.pdf>> on the CD-ROM.

5. When "Full" is selected for "Frame Rate", performing playback, recording of all channels and transmission of all channels of Net Client in parallel for many hours may stop image processing. In this case, recording will be continued, though few frames may be dropped.

2.4.3 Cancellation of alarm

When the [ALARM RESET] button is pressed, the alarm is cancelled. The [ALARM] indicator goes off.

Notes:

1. Recording is continued even though this alarm is cancelled.

2. The alarm cannot be cancelled while a menu is displayed. Close the menu, and then press the [ALARM RESET] button to cancel the alarm.

The spot screen is set up with the menu specified below. "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "SYSTEM MANAGEMENT" "SYSTEM SETUP" - "Alarm Spot" - "On"

• Recording when an event occurs When there is an alarm, recording is automatically carried out during the setup time. In the state of Video Loss, no recording is carried out. This time setting is made with the menu shown below. "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TERMINAL REC" and "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "VMD REC" - "Period1" or "Period2" - "On"

• Buzzer The [ALARM] indicator blinks when an alarm is activated, and this buzzer sounds. The buzzer is set up with the menu specified below. "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU] - "SYSTEM MANAGEMENT" "SYSTEM SETUP" - "Alarm Buzz" - "On"

• An alarm signal output is generated from the TERMINAL/CONTROL port of the rear panel to the port of the preset number. The [ALARM] indicator blinks. The output port number of Alarm Output is set up with the menu specified below. "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TERMINAL REC" - "Alarm Output" and "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "VMD REC" - "Alarm Output"

• Camera turning direction preset position The camera preset position is set up with the menu specified below. "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TERMINAL REC" - "VMD REC" - "PTZ Preset" or "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "VMD REC" - "PTZ Preset" In regard to camera’s preset position setup, refer to "2.5.6 Register preset position of cameras" on page 30.

Notes:

1. This recorder is designed to start recording upon terminal input or on motion detection. When an alarm occurs in the process of recording images from the channel for which "TERMINAL REC" and "VMD REC" are set, only alarm actions such as event recording or event status display will be performed. Image quality for recording (Rec. Quality), frame rate and stream type will not automatically be changed.

2. If another alarm occurs again in the same channel within the time period that has been preset with "Alarm Time", the alarm is stopped after the lapse of the preset time period. (The alarm time period is not extended.)

Note: When "Terminal Input" is set at "N.C.", an alarm unit of "N.O." should be connected to the alarm port of this unit. If no con-

nections are made, the alarm port will be "N.O." (normally open) and will continue receiving alarm signals at all times.

The time period for pre recording can differ according to the order of recording start. The minimum time period is 5 seconds. (Changeable with "I Frame Inter.", "Rec. Quality", and "Stream Type") When changing this setting, it is necessary to stop recording and disconnect all network connections. Note: When Pre Recording is set at "On", the pre-recorded image data

may be separated to different data groups.

If settings of "Rec. Quality", "I Frame Inter.", "Stream Type", and "Frame Rate" are changed in the middle of recording, recording will stop and then will resume. Then the setting values become effective. If recording is not stopped, the new setting becomes effective after the lapse of the time period preset with "RECORD LENGTH".

Playback is delayed if the setting value for "I Frame Inter." is too high. We recommended using a default value. When changing this setting, it is necessary to stop recording and disconnect the network connections. Implement the settings of "I Frame Inter." after the pre-recording setting has been set at OFF.

Resolution of image data output from the VGA interface

When an alarm goes off, the screen of the occurring alarm is displayed in the single-spot mode.

When the setting is made at "VBR", there may be a difference in recording length. If the recording time need be in higher preference, the setting should be made at "CBR". If screen changes seem to be extreme, the setting made at "VBR" is preferable.

N.O.: Alarm is started with a low-level signal. N.C.: Alarm is started with a high-level signal.

The frame rate set at "Full" is 25 frames/second.

It is possible to conceal information such as the channel name that is displayed on the screen.

Even after the lapse of the preset time, the key lock does not function if recording data is being backed up. After the lapse of the preset time counted after the completion of recording data backup, the key will be automatically locked.

When setting is made at "On" and a password is wrongly keyed in three times continuously, the buzzer begins to sound for one minute.

3.3 Backup by External HDD

This unit can record a data backup with an external HDD including a 2.5-inch external hard disk. (Usually, an external hard disk can be used.) In order to avoid data loss due to hard disk malfunction or sudden accidents, we recommend recorded data backup with external media.

Notes:

1. When an external HDD is used, initialization is usually unnecessary. The data on the external HDD are deleted during data backup. Prior to starting data backup, therefore, it is necessary to examine if any important data are contained on the external HDD.

2. If the connection cable is pulled out in the middle of data backup, the external HDD may be damaged. The connection cable can be pulled out only if data backup is completed and the appropriate prompt dialog box is displayed.

3. Connect the external hard disk to the COPY1 connector at the back or the COPY2 connector on the front. It is impossible to connect the external hard disk to both connectors at the same time.
