The DX3000 Series DVR has an unmarked lock button to restrict unauthorized use of the recorder. The lock button will work only as long as no one discovers its function. Since you may need to make the manual accessible to others, the lock button’s location and operation are NOT documented in the manual – this is the only place it is shown.

If you want to keep this page in the manual, just staple it inside the cover.

The lock button is located on the front panel below the PRE ALARM REC light.

SIMPLE LOCK

When the LOCK button is pressed (with a ballpoint pen, for example), the front panel controls are disabled except for the CAMERA, SPLIT/ SEQUENCE, and ZOOM buttons. The LOCK indicator light illuminates when the unit is in the Lock mode. Press the LOCK button again to exit the Lock mode.

The simple lock function does not work if a password has been entered into the recorder (refer to Password Lock).

PASSWORD LOCK

Pressing the LOCK button on the front of the unit lets you record a password. Once the password has been entered and the unit has been locked, the front panel controls are disabled

except for the CAMERA, SPLIT/SEQUENCE, and ZOOM buttons.

Entering Initial Password

1. Press the LOCK button for five seconds. The Password Setting menu appears.

2. Enter a four-digit password. The password may consist of the numbers 0-9. 1-9 are assigned to the camera buttons on the front of the unit. 0 is assigned to the ZOOM key.

3. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right to enter the password.

4. Re-enter the password, and then turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. The password is now set, and the normal operating screen appears.

If the wrong password is entered, “PASSWORD ERROR” appears on the screen, and the password is cleared. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the left to exit the menu. Press the LOCK button to turn off the indicator light. Return to step 1.

Changing Password

1. Turn the Password Lock feature OFF (refer to Turning Password Lock On and Off).

2. Press the LOCK button for five seconds. The Password Lock menu appears.

3. Enter the current password, and then turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. The Password Setting menu appears.

4. Using the same procedure for setting the original password, enter and set the new password.

OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

The DX3000 Series Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is a high-quality digital recorder that combines the functions of a recorder and multiplexer into one unit.

With the number of cameras in systems increasing, the combination of a video recorder with a multiplexer has become standard. In pursuit of the high-quality image playback characteristic of digital recording and as a way to make the recording operation more ideal, the DX3000 Series DVR includes versatile multiplexer functions that allow the images from the camera inputs to be shown on the monitor in multiple formats: 1-, 4-, or 9-camera displays on the DX3009 models or 1-, 4-, 9-, or 16-camera displays on the DX3016 models.

The DX3000 Series DVR uses JPEG compression to produce high-resolution playback with more than 450 horizontal lines. There are five user-selectable image quality settings. The DVR has a built-in, large-volume hard disk for both high reliability and high-speed operation. Users can select from six (DX3009 models) or eight (DX3016 models) recording intervals ranging from 1-30 frames per second. The maximum number of frames that can be recorded consecutively is as follows:

MODEL MAXIMUM FRAMES

DX3009-030 2,456,000 DX3009-060 4,913,000 DX3016-060 4,800,000 DX3016-120 9,601,000

Recording can be done continuously or at specified time periods. The user also can categorize cameras into three recording groups, allowing different recording patterns, for example, during weekdays and weekends.

Zoom buttons permit the user to zoom in on a selected area of the image. There are two methods of detecting alarms. First, for each camera there is an alarm input

that triggers alarm recording when a ground signal is received from the alarm device. A pre-alarm recording function can be set to record images before the alarm sensor detects disturbances. Second, each camera can be programmed to detect motion, including the capability to select the motion detection area and the sensitivity of motion detection.

Versatile high-speed search operations include time and date searching, index searching, skip searching, and alarm list searching.

To handle applications requiring long-term storage of recorded images, the DX3000 Series DVR is capable of using supplementary devices to create backups and copies without interrupting hard disk recording. Used in conjunction with a wide selection of media, DX3000 Series DVR can handle many different kinds of non-stop recording. Additional hard disk drives can be added to supplement the built-in hard disk when extended recording time is needed, as follows:

MODEL MAXIMUM NUMBER OF

DX3009-030 3 (34 GB PER UNIT) DX3009-060 2 (34 GB PER UNIT) DX3016-060 2 (103 GB PER UNIT) DX3016-120 2 (103 GB PER UNIT)

Other features include audio recording, recognition of recorded images that have been altered, and an RS-232C interface for remote control from a PC or other control terminals.

SERIES RECORDING

By connecting multiple units in series as shown in Figure 11, when the one unit’s hard disk is full, the next unit automatically begins recording.

In this example, when the first unit’s hard disk is full, the second unit begins recording; when the second unit’s hard disk is full, the first unit begins overwriting its hard disk. If you do not want the first unit to overwrite its hard disk, do not connect MODE OUT from the second unit to REC of the first unit. The series recording function can also be activated by connecting the CALL OUT terminal in place of the MODE OUT terminal; the disk storage capacity setting is made in the Call Out menu. When the CALL OUT terminal is used, if the first unit reaches the preset capacity, experiences a malfunction, or otherwise cannot continue recording, the second unit begins recording.

5. Optional. Connect peripheral recording devices.

By connecting peripheral recording devices to the recorder through the SCSI interface (SCSI-II half-pitch 50-pin), storage space can be increased and archiving and copying functions can be performed.

To increase storage space, up to two (DX3009-060, DX3016-060, and DX3016-120) or three (DX3009-030) peripheral hard disk drives (maximum of 34 GB per unit for DX3009 models or 103 GB per unit for DX3016 models) can be added to supplement the built-in hard disk.

For archiving or copying functions, a tape or disk device can be connected. The following tape devices can be connected to the recorder:

Pelco DX3000-D25 (drive) Pelco DX3000-T25 (blank tape)

The following disk devices can be connected to the recorder:

MO (640 MB) Fujitsu SMB-640WF MO (1.3 GB) Fujitsu SMB-1300W DVD-RAM Panasonic LF-D200JD HDD SCSI-IF Type Zip (250 MB) IOMEGA Z250S

Connections between the recorder and peripheral devices are made with SCSI cables (not supplied). As SCSI cables differ with each device, check for the appropriate pin arrangement before use. Cables must not exceed 3 feet (1 m).

On the rear panel of the recorder is a SCSI termination switch. Set the switch ON when nothing is connected the SCSI connector. Set to OFF when connecting peripheral devices.

Correct termination is necessary to maintain proper electrical connections to the peripheral devices. Make sure that the last peripheral device is terminated. (Depending on the device, the terminator may be built into the device. In this case, set the built-in terminator correctly.) Use an active terminator for SCSI.

Set the SCSI ID number of the peripheral recording device. Refer to the operation manual of each peripheral recording device for setting the SCSI ID Number. Use ID1-3 for hard drives, ID4 for an archive device, and ID5 for a copy device. On DX3016 models, also use ID4 when a hard disk drive is connected for repeated backup recording (considered an archiving function).

NOTE:

The DX3000 uses the native format of the added drive(s); therefore, any

added drive(s) do not have to be reformatted.

Up to two (DX3009-060) or three (DX3009-030) peripheral hard disk drives (maximum of 34 GB per unit) can be added to supplement the built-in hard disk when extended recording time is needed.

1. If a hard drive(s) has been added, a screen similar to the first one on the left appears

after turning on the power. This screen shows a peripheral device connected to ID1. If the second screen to the left appears, it is possible that there is either a poor con-

nection, overlapping SCSI ID numbers, or an error in SCSI ID number settings. In this case, turn the SHUTTLE ring twice in the clockwise direction. Main power to the recorder is turned off. Check the connection and SCSI ID settings.

ESTIMATING RECORDING TIME

When using the Timer Program, there may be instances where, because of maximum recording fields, image quality, and audio recording settings, there is insufficient recording space on the unit’s hard disk drive to complete the recordings as programmed.

When the maximum recording fields setting differs in the Normal Rec Setting menu and Timer Program menu, the possible recording duration will differ from the duration displayed in ESTD TIME field in the Normal Rec Setting menu.

<TIMER PROGRAM> P1 DW START END MODE

When setting the timer for multiple programs, refer to the section or

space the recording duration will take up under different setting conditions.

Using the Timer Program settings below as an example of estimating possible recording duration, the chart below shows that everything is recorded on the sixth day, and on the seventh day only 1.1% of Program 2 content is recorded on the hard disk drive. (Conditions: Image Quality is set to HIGH, Audio Recording is set to OFF, built-in 30 GB hard disk drive.)

The cal-

culation is derived as follows: Program 1 uses 5.3% of the disk space per day. In six days it

uses 31.8% (5.3 times 6). Program 2 uses 10.3% per day or 61.8% in six days (10.3 times 6).

In six days 93.6% of the disk space has been used (31.8 plus 61.8). This leaves 6.4% available at the beginning of day seven. After Program 1 finishes recording only 1.1% is left for Program 2 (6.4 minus 5.3).

At the end of alarm recording, the unit returns to the same recording intervals that were in effect before the alarm recording.

When in the alarm recording mode, the unit records for the entire alarm recording duration even if the end-time specified in a timer program has been exceeded. Alarm recording also continues as long as motion is detected within the active area established for motion detection. When motion stops, alarm recording continues for the time set in the A-REC DURATION setting.

There may be cases when the recorder’s built-in motion detection function does not operate properly due to the condition of the input video signal or other factors. There may be such operation errors when the recorder is connected to a system that uses the recorder’s detection function to send a warning signal.

If the recorder is programmed for pre-alarm recording, pre-alarm recordings are made of all cameras since it is not known which camera will have an alarm. After an ALARM IN terminal is triggered, however, only those cameras designated in the RECORD ALARM setting will make alarm recordings. This means that during playback the number of cameras displayed may differ for pre-alarm and post-alarm recording.
