•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.
•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

•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 16). 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.
•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.
•The “SERVICE USE” Page is for Maintenance
Service
The “SERVICE USE” page in the
“MAINTENANCE MENU” is for maintenance
service. It is password protected to prevent display to
users.
