MAIN FEATURES

This digital video recorder can be used to store images recorded by a
monitoring camera onto its built-in hard disk.

Equipped with a large-capacity 3.5-inch hard disk drive.

•

Recording and playback of images can be carried out using digital

•

signals from a multiplexer.
Playback can be carried out at the same time as recording.

•

Alarm recording tracks movements of suspicious individuals.

•

Timer recording lets you record different sessions each day.

•

Pre-alarm recording records the images immediately before an alarm.

•

Audio recording and playback are also possible at recording rates of

•

0.02 – 0.1 sec (field), 0.03 – 0.2 sec (frame).
Has a built-in motion detector function that can trigger alarm

•

recording when movement is detected.
Recorded images can be copied using CompactFlash cards.

•

Includes a variety of search functions.

•

☞ Alarm searching using an alarm event list or thumbnail alarm

images

☞ Time and date searches based on recording date and time
☞ Motion sensor detecting by searching for the movement of a

suspicious individual

A zoom function allows images being played back to be enlarged for

•

display, when using without a multiplexer.
Images can be captured by field or by frame.

•

The image quality mode can be selected from five modes for both

•

field and frame.
Three levels of security lock are available.

•

A PCMCIA-compatible network card can be used to carry out

•

network control. Multi access for up to four users.
Includes an RS-232C interface for computer control.

•

Connection to a system controller (sold separately) is possible using

•

an RS-485 interface.
PC card-type SCSI cards can be used to backup to DDS (DAT)

•

drives and CD-Rs. However, special software is required to play back
images backed up to a CD-R.

Menu settings can be uploaded to and downloaded from a

•

CompactFlash card.

Setting-up environment

Leave a space of at least 5 cm between the digital video recorder and
other nearby objects.

Ventilation holes are located at both sides and on the base of the digital
video recorder. Do not allow these ventilation holes to be covered when
setting up the recorder.

Furthermore, avoid using the digital video recorder in places with poor
ventilation.

ACCESSORIES

Power cord Fixer power cord tie

Hard disk protection

If any hard disk format errors are found when the power is turned
on, the whole hard disk is checked automatically. If any further
problems are found with the hard disk, the POWER indicator
flashes. Please contact the place of purchase if you need to
reformat the hard disk or make backups of any images. The hard
disk is very sensitive to dust, vibration and shocks, and it should
not be used in places near sources of magnetic fields. Be sure to
observe the following points in order to prevent any loss of data.

Do not subject the digital video recorder to shocks.

•

Do not use the digital video recorder in places where it will be

•

subjected to vibration or places which are unstable.
Do not disconnect the power cord while recording or playback

•

is in progress.
Do not use in places which are subject to rapid changes in

•

temperature (changes of around 10°C in an hour).
If the digital video recorder is moved to a place with a large

•

difference in temperature or a high level of humidity,
condensation may form. If the digital video recorder is used
with condensation inside it, operating problems may occur.

Do not install the digital video recorder in places which are

•

constantly vibrating, such as vehicles or trains.

The hard disk and cooling fan are consumables.

These parts should generally be replaced after 2 years of use

•

(for the hard disk) or 3 years of use (for the cooling fan) at
normal temperatures of 25°C. These periods of time are
intended as guides only, and are not a guarantee of product
performance.

For important recordings

Always check whether a recording has been recorded properly.

•

In case a recording was not recorded properly with this unit

•

because of faulty connections with other equipment or a
correct playback is not possible, any claims for compensation
will be declined.

For important recordings, it is recommended to make a

•

periodical backup copy for protection against loss from any
malfunction or accident.

Note: For digital connections a shielded type LAN cable (Shielded Twisted Pair) must be used.

When digital video recorders are connected digitally in series, the digital input and output terminals can be used to transmit video signals,
control signals and switching signals. However audio signals cannot be transmitted in the same way, so if audio signals also need to be
recorded, connect the audio input terminals via an amplifier as shown in the connection diagram.

Hard disk

Recording areas

The recording areas on the hard disk (normal recording area: 80%,
alarm recording area: 19%, archive area: 1%) are established
automatically when the power for the digital video recorder is turned on.
Images are recorded in the normal recording area when the REC/STOP
button is pressed, and they are recorded in the alarm recording area
when an alarm occurs. This is called the default condition, and the
following detailed settings can be confirmed in the sections on
“RECORDING IMAGES IN THE NORMAL RECORDING AREA” and
“RECORDING IMAGES IN THE ALARM RECORDING AREA” which
are explained later. Furthermore, settings such as the recording areas
and picture quality can be changed using the menu screens.

When the REC/STOP button is pressed while monitoring is in

•

progress, images are recorded in the normal recording area.
When start and end times are entered for each day of the week and

•

are then enabled, timer recording is automatically carried out in the
normal recording area between the times that have been set.

B Alarm recording area

ALARM REC MODE SET menu settings are required.

Alarm recording is enabled when ALARM RECORDING is set. When

•

a suspicious person is detected by the switch or motion sensor that
is connected to the alarm input terminal, an alarm is recorded in the
alarm recording area.

Pre-alarm recording is enabled when PRE-ALARM RECORDING is

•

set. Pre-alarm recording repeatedly records the same images as for
normal recording in the alarm recording area, and overwrites these
images after the set time interval, until an alarm is detected. When
pre-alarm recording is set, the image immediately before an alarm
occurred can be recorded.

C Archive area

This is the area for copying important images from the normal recording
area and the alarm recording area. The size of the archive area can be
set to a maximum of 10 GB (12.5% of total capacity when using an
80-GB hard disk, 6.25% of total capacity when using an 160-GB hard
disk) by changing the size of the normal recording area or the alarm
recording area.

BUILT-IN HARD DISK

Recording speed tables (The recording time may vary depending on the images being recorded.)

These recording speed tables show the recording times for various picture quality and frame/field settings when recording in the normal recording area
of the hard disk (80 GB). They do not include audio recording settings.

The recording times for the normal recording area and the alarm recording area represent the recording time values given in the recording speed tables,
multiplied by the percentages for the normal recording area and alarm recording area that have been set using the recording area setting menu commands.
