HSR-1/1P/2/2P Setting Precautions
•Always close the menu, time search, and alarm
search screens on the HSR-1/1P/2/2P before
making settings.
When the menu, time search, or alarm search screen
is displayed on the HSR-1/1P/2/2P, the error message
“The menu settings on the HSR cannot be made.
Check the statuses of the connected equipment.” is
displayed, and you cannot make any settings even if
you click the [SET] button on the “SETUP MENU”
or “MAINTENANCE MENU.” If the menu, time
search, or alarm search screen is displayed on the
HSR-1/1P/2/2P, use the unit to close the screen/s
displayed. For details on this procedure, refer to the
HSR-1/1P/2/2P User’s Guide.
•Always click the [SET] button after making a
setting.
To apply changed settings, the [SET] button must be
clicked on each page. Changes to settings will not be
saved unless you click the [SET] button.
•Display response may slow briefly while settings
are being saved.
Some display slow-down is normal while settings are
being stored in the HSR-1/1P/2/2P: this does not
indicate a problem with the video network station.
•Available settings differ according to the type of
HSR connected.
Some settings are different for the HSR-1/1P and
HSR-2/2P, which are automatically detected by the
video network station.
•About timer settings
Data entered in [TIMER SETTING] on the
[RECORDING FUNCTION] page is sent to the
HSR-1/1P/2/2P in sequence, starting with the first
line in each column. For this reason, if the contents of
the new setting duplicate the contents of the previous
setting, an error occurs, and you cannot make the
setting.
If this occurs, use either of the following methods to
clear the corresponding data, then enter the new time,
and make the setting.
• Select [-] in the [DAY] column and click the [SET]
button, then clear the corresponding line of data.
• Select [-] in the [REC] column and click the [SET]
button, then clear the corresponding data item.
Example:
Previously made setting:
DAY TIME REC TIME REC
MON 01:00 AM 1 02:00 AM 0
MON 03:00 AM 2 --:-- AM -
New setting:
DAY TIME REC TIME REC
MON 03:00 AM 1 04:00 AM 0
MON 05:00 AM 2 --:-- AM -
In this example, even if you click the [SET] button
after entering the new setting, an error message is
displayed, and you cannot make the setting. This is
because when the first line of the new setting (MON
03:00) is sent, it duplicates the second line of the
previous setting (MON 03:00), and the video network
station reads this as an error.
To avoid this, perform the following procedure:
1 In the [DAY] column of the previous setting's
second line, select [-] and click the [SET] button.
2 Display the [RECORDING FUNCTION] page
once again, and input the following data:
DAY TIME REC TIME REC
MON 01:00 AM 1 02:00 AM 0
--- --:-- AM - --:-- AM -
3 Enter the new setting as shown below, and click
the [SET] button.
DAY TIME REC TIME REC
MON 03:00 AM 1 04:00 AM 0
MON 05:00 AM 2 --:-- AM -
22
•Recording Mode Setting Procedure
To set the recording mode, open the “RECORDING
MODE 1” - “RECORDING MODE 5” pages from
the “RECORDING FUNCTION” page, and set the
following items:
– [CAMERAS]
– [TAPE LENGTH]
– [IMAGE QUALITY]
– Either [TIME MODE] or “RECORDING
CYCLE”
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P automatically calculates the
value of either [TIME MODE] or “RECORDING
CYCLE” that was not entered when you click the
“SET” button. If the entered value is outside of the
valid setting range, an error message appears, so you
can enter a valid value. To verify the settings, display
the “RECORDING MODE 1” through
“RECORDING MODE 5” pages again.
•Relationship between HSR-1/1P/2/2P Passwords
and Video Network Station Password
The password entered for “PASSWORD SETTING”
on the “FUNCTION CONTROL” page restricts
operation of the HSR-1/1P/2/2P (which is different
from the “Security” password set for the video
network station – see page 17). However, the system
manager (root user) of the video network station can
change the passwords for any connected HSR-1/1P/2/
2P. The system manager’s password should therefore
be handled carefully.
•Setting and Canceling HSR-1/1P/2/2P Passwords
The password entered for “PASSWORD SETTING”
on the “FUNCTION CONTROL” page may consist
of up to four characters. Asterisks (*) are displayed
when the HSR-1/1P/2/2P password has been set. To
cancel a password, delete the displayed asterisks (*)
and click the Set button with both [USER
PASSWORD] and [CONFIRM PASSWORD] boxes
empty.
•Time Display Format
The following four display formats are available on
the HSR-1/1P/2/2P “INDICATION CONTROL”
page, which are independent of the video network
server’s “Date & Time” (see page 15).
– “SETUP MENU” - “TIME ADJUSTMENT”
– “SETUP MENU” - “RECORDING FUNCTION”
- [TIMER RECORDING]
– HSR View - “HSR CONTROL” - [TIME
SEARCH]
– HSR View - “HSR CONTROL” - [ALARM
SEARCH] - [ALARM LIST]
To change these display formats, change the [DATE
FORMAT] and [TIME FORMAT] on the
“INDICATION CONTROL” page.
•Setting the HSR-1/1P/2/2P Communications Speed
to Match the Video Network Station
When changing the [RS-232C] communications
speed on the “REMOTE CONTROL” page, be sure
to also set the video network station communications
speed on the “Serial Port 1 Settings” page (see page
18) to the same value. If these settings are not the
same, the video network station will be unable to
control the HSR-1/1P/2/2P.

drop-down list, and click the “Save” icon to save the
selection.
z Hint
Several different video modulation standards are
currently used in different regions. The NTSC video
format, generally used in Japan and North America,
consists of images composed of 525 lines of resolution
displayed at 60 fields per second. The PAL (Phase
Alternating Line) video format, which is the common
European television standard, consists of images
composed of 625 lines displayed at 50 fields per
second. The video network station supports NTSC,
PAL and several other standards derived from them.
Operation
This chapter describes how to monitor the images
distributed from the server.
z Hint
•The functions of the video network station and the
views and operation of the monitor screen are set by
the system administrator according to the
requirements of the surveillance system. So the
functions and screens shown in this chapter may
differ from those of the actual system you use.
•If you discover a problem with the monitor screen
views or operation, please report it to your system
administrator.
About the Operating Environment
The following operating environment is required to
view video network station images.
•Computer: 400-MHz Pentium III with 64-MB RAM
or more
•Operating System: Windows 98, Windows Me,
Windows NT 4.0 SP5 or later, or Windows 2000
•Web browser: Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5
Note
The Web browser cache size should be set to 1 MB.
Larger cache size settings may cause delayed screen
display, or display of old data. In the [Tools] menu of
Internet Explorer, click [Internet Options], then click
the Settings button under [Temporary internet files],
and set the [Amount of disk space to use] to 1 MB.
Accessing the Monitor Screen
The monitor screen is accessed by a standard Web
browser.
1 Launch the Web browser.
2 Enter the following in the [Address] box of the
Web browser, and press the Return key.
http://<host name or IP address of the
video network station>/
The “Enter User Name and Password” dialog box
appears. Depending on the system settings, a
monitor screen may also appear now.
3 Enter your user name and password, and click
[OK]. If you don’t know your user name and
password, ask your system administrator.
The monitor screen appears.
The monitor screen shows either the Camera view or
HSR view (the above example is the Camera view). A
system setting determines which is displayed initially.
Monitoring Precautions
•Up to eight users can be logged on at the same time.
•If the network bandwidth setting is too slow, all
images in the four-screen display of the ALL mode of
the Camera view may not display properly. In this
case, either increase the network bandwidth, or
change the All mode setting to two-screen display.
•When a proxy server is present on the network, old
data stored in the proxy server may be displayed. In
this case, change settings to bypass the proxy server.
•A large volume of data is sent to the video network
station while monitoring images. When accessing the
video network station using a modem, images should
be monitored only under the following conditions.
Settings on the Administration Overview page are not
accessible by modem.
– Set the [Baud Rate] for the modem to 38 kbps or
higher.
– Set video input [Quality] to [High] or less.
– Set the image size to [Fullsize].
– Set the image display to one image only.
– Cannot control EVI-D30/D31/G20/G21 video
cameras.
– The pop-up window display is disabled when
reviewing alarm events.
– Automatic display switching to the alarm camera
when an alarm event occurs is disabled.
•Modem and Ethernet connections cannot both be
used at the same time.
•If the computer used for viewing the monitor screen
is shared with other users, we recommend closing the
Web browser when finished operations. Until the
browser has been closed, even after moving to
another Web page, the password-protected video
network station’s Web page remains accessible, for
example, by clicking the [Back] button.
