Introduction
1.1 Summarization
Thank you for choosing our digital video capture cards.
The QSDT8PCRC 8 Channel cards use software H.264 compression format, and enable a maximum of 16 channels real-time surveillance 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 function. They are widely used in banks, intelligent communities, traffic management units, medical systems, educational systems, armed forces and so on.
This manual is suitable for SuperDVR 6.3, which supports QSDT8PCRC cards.
In this manual, you will learn how to install the hardware and driver (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 digital surveillance 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 after motion stops it will stop recording 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 partitions are full and recycling record mode 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 space is less then the minimum storage and recycling record mode is not

1.2 System Requirements
NOTE: If recorded disk partition’s format is FAT32 and the system 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.

4.3.1 Record Modes
According to different record triggering methods, video capture cards offer users 4 different record modes:
Schedule record mode (timer)
Manual record mode
Motion Detection record mode
Sensor Alarm record mode
Motion Detection record mode and Sensor Alarm record mode are called Alarm Record.
If users use multiple cameras to record, every camera works separately and the recorded files are also saved separately. The parameters, i.e. camera ID, record date/time, and record mode are all saved together with the recorded file.

4.3.8 Recycling Recordings
If users enable the Recycling Record function and all the selected HDD partitions are full, the oldest recorded data will be overwritten by the latest recorded data.
Users can set recording storage sequence for HDD partitions. The recording storage will automatically jump to the next partition when the current one is full. If all the partitions are full and recycling record mode has been enabled, the new data will overwrite the oldest recorded data automatically. Users can also set a HDD minimum storage alarm. Then once the present storage space is less than the minimum storage needed, and recycling record mode has not been enabled, the recording will automatically stop.
