Chapter 1 Overview
Overview
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P Digital Surveillance Recorder is a
hybrid security recorder that records pictures from
multiple surveillance video cameras with a high
picture quality for long periods of time.
The differences between the HSR-2/2P and the HSR-1/
1P are described clearly in the manual. For anything
not mentioned, the operating procedure of the HSR-2/
2P and the HSR-1/1P is the same.
Versatile Processing of
Numerous Images
Four alternative picture quality modes
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P can be switched among four levels
of picture quality: Super, High, Middle and Low
modes. This enables the appropriate balance between
picture quality and recording time to be selected
depending on the application. Super mode provides
excellent picture quality with a horizontal resolution of
more than 500 TV lines. High mode provides higher
quality than that of conventional equipment, with
resolution close to that of the S-VHS format and much
higher S/N ratio.
By selecting Middle or Low mode, you can prolong
recording time compared with the upper modes.
Large storage capacity
Using DV cassette tape (270-minute tape) as the
storage medium, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P offers a large
storage capacity of more than 60 gigabytes.
Long recording time
With its long-time recording capability, the HSR-1/1P/
2/2P releases you from frequent tape changes.
High refresh rate
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is capable of recording images at
a high refresh rate (0.4 seconds at minimum) for each
camera, so you no longer have to worry about failing
to record key scenes.
High Reliability, Low Maintenance
Reduced use of tape mechanism
The hybrid configuration, with a hard disk and DV
tape drive, makes it possible to achieve higher
reliability. The tape transport and heads of the HSR-1/
1P/2/2P are idle most of the time because the DV tape
drive works only while recording the image data being
transferred from the hard disk.
Chapter 1 Overview 1-1
Features
Multiple Protection
In case of the failure of the DV tape drive, recording
operation continues on the built-in hard disk.
Chapter 1 Overview
Conversely, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P records the image data
directly onto the DV tape if the hard disk fails. (In
some cases, some of the data may be lost.)
For additional protection, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P always
checks whether data is accurately recorded onto a tape.
If a recording failure is detected, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P
re-records the same data onto the tape.
Less Space Required
Compact body
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P features a compact body and is
similar in width to a 14-inch monitor.
Compact storage medium
Using DV cassettes of only 1/3 the volume of VHS
cassettes means your tape library takes up much less
space.
Output for a second monitor
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has two monitoring outputs A and
B, for which output images can be independently
selected. For example, it is possible to monitor the
image from one key camera on the B monitor, while
checking playback on the A monitor.
Flexible camera assignment
There are five preset recording modes, which can be
flexibly combined with your choice of picture quality
mode, tape length, recording time, number of camera
inputs and the recording cycle of each camera. This
feature allows you to assign cameras as you like. It is
possible, for instance, to record from all the cameras in
High mode during the day and then select some of these
cameras to be recorded from in Super mode at night.
RS-232C interface
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with an RS-232C
interface for communication with external equipment
such as a personal computer, to facilitate machine
control, and user data read/write. You may also use this
port for connecting the optional SNT-V304 video
network station.
System Versatility
16 Camera inputs
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has four camera inputs as
standard. Up to three optional HSRA-11, four-input
boards can be installed, so up to 16 camera inputs can
be provided.
Built-in multiplexing capability
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has built-in multiplexing
capability, which allows independent recording and
monitoring. There is also a choice of various
monitoring patterns by freely assigning multiple
cameras to a single monitor.
37-pin parallel port
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has a 37-pin parallel I/O interface,
whose pin functions can be freely configured for a
particular application.
Recording/Playback Systems Not
to Miss Any Important Scenes
Playback During Recording (HSR-2/2P only)
You can check the latest recorded images by reversing
the recording for the desired length of time (from 1 to
99 minutes) without stopping recording in progress.
When checking, you can also search for a specific
image by using the time search and alarm search
functions. Images recorded on other cassettes can also
be played during recording by changing cassettes.
1-2 Chapter 1 Overview
Flexibility in Alarm Recording modes
To capture more and even sharper images, the HSR-1/
1P/2/2P not only changes its recording mode to the
higher refresh and higher picture quality mode on
alarm, but also performs interleaved recording, which
accelerates the recording cycle of the camera in alarm
status.
It can also record images from the camera in alarm
status only for a preset duration. In addition, since
alarm and timer recordings can be combined, the HSR1/1P/2/2P can be set to normal recording mode during
office hours and set to alarm recording at night.
Continuous recording function
The recorder can continuously record images, even
while you are changing or rewinding the tape, so you
don’t have to worry about the breakup of a recording.
Rec End search
The recording end point on a tape can be easily
located.
Quick recording start
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P can start recording the moment
power is turned on. This allows immediate recovery
of recording after a power failure.
Pre-alarm recording
Thanks to the Pre-alarm recording capability,
recording can be started before catching a trigger
signal, thus chances are you’ll have the information
you need on tape
High-quality frame recording
Chapter 1 Overview
Sophisticated security function
The key-lock function may prevent accidents, such as
inadvertent break-off of important recording.
For higher security, you can specify passwords at three
levels.
Watermark
Using an original watermark system, the HSR-1/1P/2/
2P can identify image data that has been artificially
altered. When alteration is detected, a message is
displayed on screen.
Intelligent search functions
Time search/alarm search
You can easily locate the picture from a specific date
and time.
With a tape on which alarm recordings have been
made, you can locate a specific picture after checking
the list of those recordings.
By selecting Frame Rec mode, you can record a single
frame in response to an alarm in Hyper mode, which
provides higher resolution than Super mode.
Power-failure backup function
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with a protection
circuit (memory-backup circuit with a rechargeable
battery) to prevent loss of video data caused by power
failure.
If the power fails during recording, the protection
circuit activates, and stores video data for 24 hours.
When power is restored, the unit automatically
resumes recording mode and records the stored video
data on the tape.
Notes
• At least 24 hours with the power on is required to
fully charge the battery.
• Several frames captured immediately before the
power failure may be lost.
Variable-speed search with a Jog/Shuttle dial
By connecting the optional SVRM-100A remote
control unit, noiseless picture search can be carried out
using its Jog/Shuttle dial.

SNT-V304 Video Network Station
By connecting the SNT-V304 to the HSR-1/1P/2/2P,
the recorder can be controlled by a personal computer
via a network such as a LAN or WAN. In this way
you can totally control the surveillance systems in
various locations from a distance.
Note

tape length (unit: minute). (Ex.: 270 minutes with DV-270RM).
In case of a PDV- or PDVM-series model, the value obtained by multiplying the
number included in the name by 1.5 corresponds the tape length (unit: minute).
(Ex.: 276 minutes with PDV-184N).
• When a cassette is to be stored for a long time, rewind the tape to the
beginning, mount it in the original case, and place it vertically. Leaving a
cassette lying flat may cause noisy pictures.
• If any undue force is applied to the cassette, such as by dropping it, the
tape may become slackened, causing abnormal recording/playback.
Before using a cassette, be sure to check that the tape is not slacked.
To check the tape slack
Gently turn the reel in the direction
of the arrow using a paper clip or
equivalent. If there is no slack, the
reel will not rotate. Then, insert the
cassette in the recorder and remove
it after about 10 seconds.

About the recording modes
Up to five user-preset recording modes can be registered to this recorder.
You may specify a set of recording requirements to each recording mode.
Once the recording modes are set, the specified requirements for recording
are set merely by selecting one of your preset recording modes.
Example of setting a user-preset recording mode:
CAMERA NUMBER : 8
TAPE LENGTH: 270MIN
IMAGE QUALITY: SUPER
TIME MODE: 33H
REC CYCLE: 1.00SEC
When recording is executed with the example recording mode selected,
pictures from all eight cameras that have been specified to be used for
recording (set to REC) are cyclically recorded once per 1.00 second in
SUPER image quality mode (HSR-1/2: horizontal 720 × vertical 240,
HSR-1P/2P: horizontal 720 × vertical 288 pixels) for 33 hours on a single
cassette of 270-minute tape length.
Recording modes can be registered by using “Setting of Rec Mode” of the
Recording Function menu.
For registrating the recording modes, see Chapter 5.
Chapter 2 Basic Operations
To select a recording mode
A recording mode for normal recording can be selected on the monitor
screen or on the character display on the front panel.

The REC indicator lights, and recording starts in the selected recording
mode.
When the remaining tape capacity becomes less than 3 minutes during
recording, the tape remaining indication flashes and a beep sounds. The
beep will stop when you press any key.
To stop recording before the end of a tape
1 Press the STOP key.
A message to confirm that you want recording to stop is displayed.
2 Press the YES key.
Notes
• When you press the YES key, the unit starts copying the data remaining
on the hard disk to the cassette tape. This operation may take 90 seconds
at maximum, and you cannot change modes until it is completed. During
this operation, the remaining time until a mode shift is enabled is
displayed on the monitor screen and the character display of the recorder.
(With the HSR-2/2P, it may take more than 90 seconds if you stop
recording immediately after ending a Playback During Recording
operation.)
• Some images recorded on the beginning of a tape may not be played.
The duration that cannot be played depends on the recording cycle, the
number of cameras, and the image-quality mode.
Example With a 1-second recording cycle, eight cameras, HIGH mode:
approx. 3 seconds
With alarm recording in FRAME mode: approx. 6 frames
• If very few picture frames have been recorded continuously, time search
and alarm search may fail, or the pictures may not be played correctly. It
is therefore recommended to perform recording for a certain duration
continuously. The recording duration required for correct playback
depends on the recording cycle, the number of cameras, and the image
quality mode.
Example With a 1-second recording cycle, eight cameras, HIGH mode:
approx. 10 seconds or more
As continuously recorded duration is short in EVENT- or PREALARM-mode alarm recording, it is especially recommended to specify as a short
recording cycle as possible.
Chapter 2 Basic Operations
Data recording

Search speed
The maximum search speed depends on Recording mode which was
specified for recording.
The fewer cameras for recording, the longer the recording cycle, and the
lower the image quality mode, the higher the speed at which you can
monitor the playback picture.
Note
If you try to search before the tape top or after the tape end, a message “No
playback data” is displayed. The same message appears also if you try to
search before the recording starting point or after the ending point on the
hard disk.
In the same manner as when monitoring, the screen can be divided into 16
divisions at maximum, and you can assign a camera to each division as
desired.
The camera assignment for playback can be made independent from that
