Section 1: Introduction

TeleEye GX680 is a range of HD digital video recorders, which is specially designed for

dedicated and shared network architecture. All GX models support real-time HD recording

up to the maximum frame rate of 480 fps.

TeleEye GX680 provides faster transmission and longer recording utilizing our proprietary

HD SMAC-M compression technology. HD SMAC-M compresses video with 50% smaller

in size compared to H.264*, leading to faster transmission and requires less storage. Its

multi-stream architecture generates 4 independent data streams to assure optimized video

recording and transmission performance across different environments.

TeleEye GX680 has developed special video streaming protocols that provide extra

security during Internet transmission. The 5 protection layers incorporated in the TeleEye

video surveillance solutions are able to shield off hacker's attacks via the Internet.

TeleEye GX680 Series HD digital video recorder works with TeleEye cameras and third

party ONVIF Profile S cameras, providing extra protection on the video data for safer

transmission across any public networks.

**Data quote from : Secutech Camera Excellence Award 2011 ;Compression rate depends

on actual scene under measurement and different results maybe obtained due to motion

or scene changes.

Section 2: Hard Disk Installation,

Formatting and Scanning

2.1. Hard Disk Installation

Hard disk is required in recording, video playback and keeping different types of log.

Follow the steps below for disk installation. A hard disk recommendation list has been

included in the package as a reference.

1. Make sure that the digital video recorder is turned off.

2. Loosen the screws that hold the cover.

3. Pull off the cover.

User Guide PAGE 8

4. Loosen the screws of the hard disk holder.

User Guide PAGE 9

7. Remount the hard disk holder to TeleEye GX.

8. Connect the SATA cable to the HDD.

User Guide PAGE 10

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

server. 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 GX 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: [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.

4.4. Advanced Operation

4.4.1. Install Alarm Sensors and Relay Control Port

TeleEye GX supports up to 16 alarm ports with tamper detection for connecting with alarm

sensors, 4 additional input sensors and 4 relay ports for control. The definitions of alarm

and relay control ports are shown in the following diagram.

4.4.2. Install Tamper Circuit and External Resistors

TeleEye GX supports tamper detection on all alarm inputs including arm/disarm input,

security switch input, system tamper and power failure input.

DEOL : Dual End of Line termination with NC and NO connection

SEOL : Single End of Line termination with NC and NO connection

NC/NO : Alarm and other input ports without tamper detection circuit connection

For example: By connecting the tamper circuit with DEOL, the circuit is in the normal close

condition if the resistance between point A and B detects 1.2kΩ (shown as below),

whereas the circuit is in normal open condition if the resistance between point A and B

detects 7.2kΩ. The resistance transition from 1.2kΩ to 7.2kΩ is generated by an alarm

tamper event for normal close circuit. The setup configuration of those alarms and input

ports are shown in the following diagrams. The circuit debouncing time between each

sensor is 20 milliseconds.

4.4.3.1 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.

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.

User Guide PAGE 77

Arm/Disarm Mode

TeleEye GX 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.

Arm/Disarm Tamper Type

Arm/Disarm tamper event triggers if someone cuts the wire between the arm/disarm input

and the digital video recorder. This event can be triggered once the wire is being cut.

Arm/Disarm tamper type has choice of none, SEOL and DEOL.

Arm State

If arm state is set to close, it indicates arm of TeleEye GX when the state of the circuit is

close and disarm of TeleEye GX when the circuit is open. Oppositely, if arm state is set to

open, it indicates arm and disarm of TeleEye GX when the state of the circuit is open and

close respectively.

Physical Configuration for Arm/Disarm

The arm/disarm input and ground of TeleEye GX HD Digital Video Recorder needs to

connect to a control unit which is commonly a switch or password panel for arm/disarm

input.

GX 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 GX when

the state of the circuit is open and closed respectively.

•

Physical Configuration for Security Switch

The security switch input and ground of TeleEye GX digital video recorder needs to

connect to a control circuit which is commonly the lock of the surveillance area for security

switch input.

User Guide PAGE 81

[Main Menu] [Event Handler] [Security Switch]

4.4.3.3 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.

•

Sensor Tamper Type

Alarm tamper event will be triggered if someone cuts the wire between the alarm input and

the digital video recorder. This event behaves as fire zone type that can be triggered once

the wire is being cut. Alarm tamper type has choice of none, SEOL and DEOL.

•

Sensor Type

If the alarm sensor input circuit type is normal close (NC), when the state of the circuit is

opened, it indicates alarm trigger of TeleEye GX, while nothing happens when the state of

the circuit is closed. If the alarm sensor input circuit type is normal open (NO), when the

state of the circuit is closed, it indicates alarm trigger of TeleEye GX, while nothing

happens when the state of the circuit is open.

•

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.

User Guide PAGE 82

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.

User Guide PAGE 83

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.

User Guide PAGE 84

Example of Entry/Exit Zone WITHOUT Security Switch Usage

For Entry Zone:

The entry delay is the period of time between entering the surveillance zone and

reachingthe digital video recorder. In order to disarm the system for maintenance or repair,

user / installer enters 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. The alarm is set at entry delay

2. The 1st trigger is made by Alarm 4 (i.e. user enters the surveillance zone and the entry

delay time begins)

3. 2nd, 3rd and 4th trigger are made and each entry delay starts respectively

4. 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.

4.4.3.4. Motion

Motion detection can be triggered when motion occurs on the camera. Motion detection

has different sensitivity levels, which can be set up individually on each video input

channel. There are generally 4 options: high, middle, low and custom. Custom option

allows user to select the sensitivity level and detection area themselves.

Sensitivity

Level The definition of level in motion detection is the difference in luminance level

between current and reference field. The level range is 1 to 10, with 1 being the most sensitive and 10 being the least sensitive.

Area In motion detection, one selected motion block is

internally divided into four sub-blocks. The definition of area is how many sub-blocks have detected motion in order to trigger a motion event. Any value between 1 and 4 can be set. The more sub-blocks are selected, the lower the motion sensitivity is.

[Main Menu] [Event Handler] [Motion]

Motion detection example: The selected motion detection area is the crossed area in green color. The motion block will turn to red color when movement is detected. The normal display area cannot detect any motion.
