Section 2: Hard Disk Installation, Formatting
and Scanning
2.1. Hard Disk Installation
1. Make sure that the video recording server is turned off.
2. Loosen the screws that hold the cover.
3. Pull the cover off.
4. Loosen the screws of the hard disk holder and take them out.
5. Insert HDD into one of the available holders. Maximum 4 HDD can be installed.
6. Mount the HDD to holder with attached screws.
7. Remount the hard disk holder to TeleEye RX.
8. Connect the SATA cable to the HDD.
2.2. Format Hard Disk
Formatting is required when the format of an installed hard disk cannot be recognised by
the video recording server, 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 unrecognised hard disk will be formatted automatically after TeleEye RX 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 video recording server.
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 Scan Hark Disks
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] à [HDD/Recording] à [Disk
Management]. Clicking on the [Scan All] button will start scanning all installed hard disk.

4.4.2. Install Tamper Circuit and External Resistors
TeleEye RX 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. Event Handling
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.
Arm/Disarm Mode
TeleEye RX 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 video
recording server. 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 RX when the state of the circuit is close and disarm
of TeleEye RX when the circuit is open. Oppositely, if arm state is set to open, it indicates arm and disarm
of TeleEye RX when the state of the circuit is open and close respectively.
Physical Configuration for Arm/Disarm
The arm/disarm input and ground of TeleEye RX video recording server needs to connect to a control unit
which is commonly a switch or password panel for arm/disarm input.

Security Switch
It is an input to the video recording server 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.
Security Switch Tamper Type
Security switch tamper event triggers if someone cuts the wire between the security switch input and the
video recording server. This event can be triggered once the wire is being cut. Security switch tamper type
has choice of none, SEOL and DEOL.
On State
If security switch on state is set to close, it indicates security switch on and off of TeleEye RX 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 RX when the state of the circuit is open and closed
respectively.
Physical Configuration for Security Switch
The security switch input and ground of TeleEye RX video recording server needs to connect to a control
circuit which is commonly the lock of the surveillance area for security switch input.

4.4.3.3.
Alarm
It is an input to the video recording server 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 video
recording server. 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.
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 video
recording server. 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 video recording server 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.
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 video recording server 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 video recording server and Alarm 1, Delay 2 = leaving time
between video recording server and Alarm 2, Delay 3 = leaving time between video recording server and
Alarm 3 and Delay 4 should be 8 minutes. The alarm will be activated after the exit delay expired.
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 reaching the video
recording server. 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.

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 video recording server 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.
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 video recording server 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:

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 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 video recording server and Alarm 1, Delay 2 = leaving time
between video recording server and Alarm 2, Delay 3 = leaving time between video recording server and
Alarm 3 and Delay 4 should be 8 minutes. The alarm will be activated after the exit delay expired.
