TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 10
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
2.2. Hard Disk Formatting
Formatting is required when the format of an installed hard disk cannot be recognized by the
digital video recorder, most likely a hard disk that has not been used by the video recorder.
Another purpose of disk formatting is to clean up recording space and redeem the file allocation.
An unrecognized hard disk will be formatted automatically after TeleEye GN starts up. Formatting
will erase all data inside the disk. Hence make sure that important data has been backed up before
performing this function. Once it is reconstructed, it would be readable and writable by the digital
video recorder.
User can also perform disk formatting manually. The function can be found in the OSD menu:
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 11
[Main Menu] [HDD/Recording] [Disk Management]
Format Format the selected hard disk Format All Format all installed hard disks
2.3. Hard Disk Scanning
Hard disk scanning is a maintenance function similar to the Scan Disk function provided by the
operating system of a personal computer. This function is provided in an attempt to rescue the
hard disk in case errors are found, and to enhance its performance and reliability. The function can
be found in the OSD menu:
[Main Menu] [HDD/Recording] [Disk Management].
Clicking on the [Scan All] button will start scanning all installed hard disk.
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 12

(For TeleEye MQ / MP, the default user name is “admin” and the password is “123456”.)
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 15
3.2. Camera swapping
In Dedicated Video Network mode, the assigned camera numbers in digital video recorder are not
dependent to the port number. It is dependent to the order of inserting camera to the recorder.
For example, if the camera A is connected to the video port 2, and then camera B is connected to
the video port 1, the CAM 1 is connecting with Camera A as it is the first camera to insert. Similarly,
the CAM 2 is connecting with Camera B as it is the second one to insert. Therefore, “First come,
First connected”. However, it is possible to swap the camera numbers you desired.
1. Switch on the video recorder. Open the main OSD menu by right click of mouse. Click the
[Menu] and Select [System].
2. Select [Camera Setting].
3. Click [Camera], and select the original camera number of camera you want to swap. Then click
[Swap Position], and select the desired camera number. Click [Apply].

event status is not yet cleared, the icon will remain static on its original position.
5.4.3.1 Arm/Disarm
Arm/Disarm input is used for enhancing security level of the surveillance area. This input
introduces the concept of 3 zone types of alarm and motion: fire zone, normal and entry/exit zone.
Armed
If the system is armed, alarm sensor and motion that is set as normal zone can be triggered
immediately if someone triggers the sensor or motion detected. It is usually used when there is no
operator at surveillance area.
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 73
Disarmed
If the system is disarmed, alarm and motion events detected from sensors will not result in an
alarm and motion except the fire zone type alarm, motion and arm/disarm tamper. If there are
operators at surveillance area, it is usually disarmed.
Arm/Disarm Mode
TeleEye GN supports 3 different modes of arm/disarm operation:
Hardware: Use Arm input to arm/disarm, suitable for local operation
Software: Use software to arm/disarm, suitable for remote operation
Schedule: Follow preset schedule to arm/disarm, suitable for unmanned location
Under software and schedule mode, the security switch is not applicable.
There are 2 types of arm schedules:
Normal Schedule User can set the arm period in terms of weekday. The system
would arm according to this weekly schedule.
Holiday Schedule User can set the arm date and period for specially handled
holiday. If the date is set to holiday schedule, it will follow holiday schedule instead of normal schedule.
Physical Configuration for Arm/Disarm
The arm/disarm input and ground of TeleEye GN HD Digital Video Recorder needs to connect to a
control unit which is commonly a switch or password panel for arm/disarm input.

5.4.3.2. Security Switch
It is an input to the digital video recorder for wiring a security switch. The purpose of the security
switch is to terminate the exit delay for exit zone alarm. If the security switch is on and the system
is armed, all exit delay will be terminated. If the security switch is off and an entry alarm is
triggered, entry delay will start.
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 76
On State
If security switch on state is set to close, it indicates security switch on and off of TeleEye GN when
the state of the circuit is closed and open respectively. Oppositely, if security switch on state is set
to open, it indicates security switch on and off of TeleEye GN when the state of the circuit is open
and closed respectively.
Physical Configuration for Security Switch
The security switch input and ground of TeleEye GN digital video recorder needs to connect to a
control circuit which is commonly the lock of the surveillance area for security switch input.
[Main Menu] [Event Handler] [Security Switch]
5.4.3.3 Alarm
It is an input to the digital video recorder from external alarm sensors. Alarm can be used to detect
many events occur at the surveillance area, such as fire and illegal entering by someone. The alarm
event supports BS 8418:2003 which has arm/disarm and security switch functions.
Zone Type
All alarm sensors can be associated with zone types if Arm/Disarm input is installed.
Normal Zone This zone allows alarms to be triggered after system armed. Fire Zone This zone allows alarms to be triggered no matter which arm
state of the system is, i.e. armed or disarmed. It is suitable for installation of fire detectors
Entry/Exit Zone This zone allows user to set the delay time for entering or
leaving the surveillance area without triggering any alarm event. If alarm recording action is enabled, recording starts at entry or exit time throughout the delay.
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 77
Example of Entry/Exit Zone WITH Security Switch Usage
For Entry Zone:
The entry delay is the period of time between entering the surveillance zone and reaching the
digital video recorder. In order to disarm the system for maintenance or repair, user / installer
needs to turn off the security switch and enter the surveillance zone. The delay timer starts from
the 1st trigger by the 1st alarm sensor (i.e. Alarm 4). Note that if user enables recording action,
recording action is automatically activated during entry delay.
The detail description is shown as follows:
1. User turns off security switch
2. The alarm is set at entry delay
3. The 1st trigger is made by Alarm 4 (i.e. user enters the surveillance zone and the entry delay
time begins)
4. 2nd, 3rd and 4th trigger are made and each entry delay starts respectively
5. User disarms the system for maintenance
For example: If the time for going from security switch to digital video recorder is about 8 minutes,
Delay 4 should be around 8 minutes, while Delay 3 should be longer than the time for going from
security switch to Alarm 3, and so on.
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 78
For Exit Zone:
The exit delay is the period of time for leaving a surveillance zone without making false alarm (i.e.
Alarm 1 to Alarm 4). The purpose is to let the user / installer have enough time to leave the
surveillance zone after the digital video recorder is armed. User / installer can set the delay time
for each alarm. Note that if user enables recording action, recording will be activated when an
alarm is triggered during exit delay.
The detail description is shown as follows:
1. User arms the system
2. The alarm is set at exit delay and timer of all alarms begin
3. The 1st trigger is made by Alarm 1 (i.e. user leaves the surveillance zone)
4. 2nd, 3rd and 4th triggers are made respectively
5. User turns on the security switch or waits for all alarm exit delays to expire.
For example, if the time for leaving the surveillance zone is about 8 minutes, user should adjust the
delay time so that Delay 1 = leaving time between the digital video recorder and Alarm 1, Delay 2 =
leaving time between digital video recorder and Alarm 2, Delay 3 = leaving time between digital
video recorder server and Alarm 3 and Delay 4 should be 8 minutes. The alarm will be activated
after the exit delay expired.
TeleEye GN6516 / GN6608 / GN6916 User Guide Page 79
