1 Introduction
1.1 Summarization
Thank you for choosing our digit al video capt ure car ds. 4 Channel, 8 Channel and 16 Channel cards adopt H.264 compression f orm at,
and enable a maximum of 16 channels re al-time surv eillance in CIF resolution. Our cards are mature and cost-effective products that should be your ideal choices. They enable synchronous audio and video compression and transmission along with their powerful compression rate and network transmission fun ctio n. They are widely used in ba nk s, intelligent communities, traffic management units, medical systems, educational systems, armed forces and so on.
This manual is suitable for SuperDVR 6.2, which supports QSDT4PCRC, QSDT4PCRP, QSDT8PCRP, and QSPD4116 cards.
In this manual, you will le arn how to instal l t he hardware and driv er (software), and how to setup the systems on this range of products. Please make sure your operations with the products are strictly in accordance with the manual, to maintain the stability of the digit al sur v e i lla n ce systems.
The following are standard functions of these products:
Schedule record mode Users can choose any period in a day to record and set up record modes , i.e. sensor alarm record, motion detection record, manual record, Schedule Record.
Motion detection mode Motion detection areas are adjustable with a maximum 16 areas for each channel. Users can also set motion detection sensitivity for each channel. The system begins to record only when motion is detected is detected on the channel and af ter motion st ops it will stop recordin g after a certain time period, which is adjustable by users.
Sensor alarm record mode The system has an external alarm which enables the system to support alarm input and output.
Recycling record mode Users can set recording storage sequence for HDD partitions. The recording storage will automatically switch to the next partition when the current one is full. If all the parti tion s ar e fu ll and r ecyc lin g rec or d mod e is enabled, the oldest recorded data will be covered by new data. Users can also set HDD minimum storage alarm. Then once the present storage

NOTE: If recorded disk partition’s format is FAT32 and the s ystem has run for a long time, the system will create a lot of data fragments that may result in system running slowly. It’s recommended to run a disk defragmenter every 10 to 30 days. We strongly suggest that you use NTFS format for recording disk partition.
