The DVR-16/IP can store the recorded video information in circular or not. If the setting is “ON” (default), the earliest recorded video will be over-written automatically (none-stop recording). If Circular Record setting is “OFF”, the recording will be stopped when the HDD is full; under this situation, a flash highlighted message (HDD Full) will be shown on the screen when the rest recording time is about 45 minutes; and the beeper will start beeping when the rest recording time is about 15 minutes.

6.5.8 HDD Full Alarm

If you select “ON” for this item, the beeper will start beeping when the rest recording time is about 15 minutes; and the beeper will stop beeping after you insert a new HDD. The other way to stop the beeper is to select “OFF” for this item.

Appendix 1: Hard Disk Error Message

Some messages will be shown on the screen when the H.D.D. cannot operate.

 Message: HDD Detect Time Out Symptom: The system checks H.D.D. but gets no response over 30 seconds

Possible reason: H.D.D. power on failure Countermeasure: 1). Wait for the DVR resets the H.D.D. automatically; 2). Power off and on

again

 Message: No Hard Disk

Symptom: No HDD has been found by the system. Possible reason: 1). No H.D.D; 2). H.D.D. detects failure Countermeasure: 1). Insert a formatted (FAT 32) H.D.D; 2). Check the power/ IDE bus

connectors, ensure they have been connected well; and then insert the HDD again.

 Message: Check HDD Bus

Symptom: IDE bus error or H.D.D. Master/ Slave jumper error. Possible reason: 1).The cable of IDE connectors may be damaged; 2). H.D.D. jumper may

not be set to “Master”.

Countermeasure: 1). Check the cable of IDE connectors; it may be damaged; 2). Check the

H.D.D. cable; ensure it has been connected with the cartridge well; 3). Check H.D.D. jumper; the jumper has to be set to “Master”.

 Message: Unknown HDD

Symptom: 1). The H.D.D. format is not acceptable.

2). The file system is not acceptable.

Possible reason: 1). The H.D.D. had been formatted with “NTFS” file system; 2). The H.D.D.

had been partitioned or the HDD had not been formatted with “FAT32” file system.

Countermeasure: Enter OSD menu and format the H.D.D. again.

 Message: HDD Detect Fail

Symptom: The HDD is unusable. Possible reason: Other unknown reasons.

Countermeasure: Exchange the H.D.D. for a new one.

Appendix 2: Supported HDD

The supported HDDs are listed as below:

Brand Capacity Rotation Speed Part Number

Maxtor 40GB 5400 RPM 4D040k2 Maxtor 80GB 5400 RPM 4D080H4 Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM D740X-6L Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM 6Y080P0 Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM 6Y120P0 Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM 6Y160P0 Maxtor 200GB 7200RPM 6Y200P0 Maxtor 250GB 7200RPM 7Y250P0

Notice:

1. We strongly suggest do NOT use Seagate products, because them might have overheated problems while the DVR-16/IP is operating.

2. We had compared other brand HDDs with Maxtor HDDs, we recommend user to use Maxtor HDDs with 8MB cache buffer that would bring DVR the optimum stability.

Appendix 4: Super MMX & Super MPX System Setup

1. MMX (Multiplexer-Matrix)

Purpose: by using the call monitor output of the DVR-16/IP/multiplexer array to mimic (or emulate) a small matrix system, each one of the camera can be selected to be displayed on the system monitor. Ex: when users want to view camera 32, in keyboard’s speed dome mode, press camera number 32, then Enter, the system monitor will show the video from camera 32. If camera 32 happens to be a dome camera, he may use the joystick to control it immediately. System diagram:

Notice:

(1) All DVR-16/IPs shown in the diagram can be Triplex Multiplexer. (2) All DVR-16/IPs / multiplexers must enable Super MMX (in OSD menu) (3) Choose “Super MMX” from “System Monitor Setting” in keyboard’s “System Setting” (4) All devices must be connected to the same RS485 bus. In security system, the Dome

Cameras are mapping to each channel of the DVR-16/IP / multiplexer. For example, Dome 1 is mapped to channel 1 of S1 (MPX 1). Dome 24 is mapped to channel 8 of S2 (MPX 2)… and so on. When using keyboard as a system controller, please set up each device’s ID according to the following table:

(5) The ID of DVR-16/IP / multiplexer P1 is 255.

MPX NO MPX ID Camera ID Remark

1 E0H, 224 01H – 10H, 1~16 Channel 1~16 of MPX #1 2 E1H, 225 11H – 20H, 17~32 3 E2H, 226 21H – 30H, 33~48 4 E3H, 227 31H – 40H, 49~64 5 E4H, 228 41H – 50H, 65~80 6 E5H, 229 51H – 60H, 81~96 7 E6H, 230 61H – 70H, 97~112 8 E7H, 231 71H – 80H, 113~128 9 E8H, 232 81H – 90H, 129~144 10 E9H, 233 91H – A0H, 145~160 11 EAH, 234 A1H – B0H, 161~176 12 EBH, 235 B1H – C0H, 177~192 13 ECH, 236 C1H – D0H, 193~208 14 EDH, 237 D0H – DFH, 209~223 Only 15 Dome can be connect 15 EEH, 238 None Can connect to normal camera 16 EFH, 239 None Can connect to normal camera

2. Super MPX (Super Multiplexer Mode)

Purpose: use Main Monitor instead of Call Monitor, the feature of selecting particular camera to the system monitor is the same as MMX mode. Besides of this, by setting the multiplexers correctly, all of the cameras in this system can be displayed on the system monitor sequentially. Ex: set the P1 multiplexer to Full Screen Sequence mode, dwell time = 3 seconds. Set S1 to S16 multiplexer to 4x4 display mode. Then in 48 seconds, all 256 cameras will be displayed on the system monitor sequentially. System Diagram:

Notice:

(1) All Multiplexers shown in the diagram can be DVR-16/IPs. (2) Choose “Super MPX” from “System Monitor Setting” in keyboard’s “System Setting” (3) All the device must be connected to the same RS485 bus, the RS485 ID for each device

must be set up as indicated in the above table.
