1. About This Manual
This manual contains the information required for the installation and operation of the Timespace Technology X500 and R500 Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).
The X500 and R500 DVRs utilise the same software. The software menus are therefore largely the same, and are covered in the same section of this manual (User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System). Where there are differences in the menu screens/settings, different screenshots will be given for the X500 and the R500 and the options/settings explained accordingly.
However there are differences between the X500 and the R500 in number and type of cameras, number and type of audio connections etc. The photographs, diagrams, connection details and installation instructions in this manual are therefore specific to either the X500 or R500 and are labelled as such.
1.1 DVR Models – identification and distinction
The X500 and the R500 have identical front panels, other than the X500/R500 DVR model labelling.

3.1 Main Menu
Recording modes in order of priority are:
1) ALARM RECORDING
2) TIMER RECORDING
3) NORMAL RECORDING
SD RECORDING can be running in parallel to any of the above recording modes.
MOTION DETECTION is used as a trigger to start one of the recording modes - it is not a recording
mode on its own.
Audio recording can be turned on or off for all recording modes. This selection is found on the AUDIO
RECORDING menu where other specific audio settings can be configured.
Only one mode is active at any one time. For example if ALARM RECORDING occurs during NORMAL RECORDING, ALARM RECORDING takes control but reverts back to NORMAL RECORDING once ALARM RECORDING has finished.
9
X500 and R500 Instruction Manual Chapter 3 – User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System
NB: Across the different recording modes, the DVRs have some common settings, e.g. Images per Second (IPS). The IPS can be configured from 1 to 25 per camera. To save duplication, these options will only be documented in the first instance and subsequent features should be assumed to be the same unless explicitly stated.
10
X500 and R500 Instruction Manual Chapter 3 – User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System

To configure IP Cameras, eg IP addresses, see the separate menu section MAIN MENU > IP CAMERAS
3.1.1.1 REC TIME AND TOTAL IPS
The global (total) recording resource available on the X500/R500 is 100 IPS.
For each recording mode, the total number of configured IPS (images/sec) is displayed along with the maximum. Any adjustment to the camera IPS, image quality or number of recorded cameras will affect the REC TIME. The REC TIME is an indication of the number of Days, Hours, Minutes that the DVR will record for based upon the current settings and entire installed cartridge capacity.
HELP – provides details of currently configured RESOURCE ALLOCATION across the various functions.
12
X500 and R500 Instruction Manual Chapter 3 – User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System
HINT: A “copy down” feature is available for configuring multiple analogue camera settings. The
settings for the currently selected camera will be copied down to all remaining cameras, subject to the global IPS limit. Press 0 to copy down.
3.1.2 Timer Recording
Daily on/off timers can be set to provide timed recording. This menu sets the recording configuration and the time. During TIMER RECORDING the settings in this menu apply.
Images per second (RATE) and image quality (QUAL) can be set for each analogue camera (Cameras 1-4) in the same way as for NORMAL RECORDING.
IP Cameras can be used for TIMER RECORDING and can be configured at MAIN MENU > IP CAMERAS
WHEN TIMER STOPS: At the end of a period of TIMER RECORDING the DVR can either STOP RECORDING or record in NORMAL RECORDING record mode. The latter can be used if two recording styles are required based on time.
Enter the daily start and end times in the REC (RECORDING) SCHEDULE menu
TOTAL IPS – provides details of current IPS allocation within TIMER RECORDING, ie configured images per second, as well as the total IPS available for TIMER RECORDING.
HELP – provides details of recording RESOURCE ALLOCATION across the various functions.
13
X500 and R500 Instruction Manual Chapter 3 – User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System
NB: By default the TIMER SCHEDULE is set to Mon-Fri 9-5 and all day Sat/Sun.
HINT: Times are entered in the SCHEDULE using the digit keys on the front panel of the Reviewer
for number input.
3.1.2.1 Recording Schedule
A RECORDING SCHEDULE can be set. This can be used e.g. to record between a start date and end date. If both DAILY TIMES and PERIOD TIMES are selected, the DVR will record only in the period and also only in the daily times shown.
DAILY TIMER DISABLED – disables timer recording.
RECORD BETWEEN DAILY TIMES – sets the unit to record between the daily times specified in the schedule.
RECORD OUTSIDE DAILY TIMES – sets the unit to record at all times other than those specified in the daily times schedule.
A COPY DOWN features is available to copy the times set for Monday on to all other days of the week.
A period of TIMER RECORDING can be set e.g. to record between a start date and end date. Options for this are PERIOD TIMER DISABLED, RECORD INSIDE PERIOD, RECORD OUTSIDE PERIOD.
If the daily timer and the period timer are both enabled, then recording occurs in the intersection of the daily timer and period timer settings.

X500 and R500 Instruction Manual Chapter 3 – User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System
NB: Pre-Alarm Recording (PAR) has a higher priority than TIMER and NORMAL RECORDING (even when these modes are triggered by an alarm input).
3.1.3.1 Pre-Alarm Recording
Pre-Alarm Recording (PAR), if enabled, configures the DVR to record for a set period of time prior to an alarm input being triggered, and for the DVR to keep the PAR files. This is useful in order to ensure that the lead-up to an alarm event is recorded. It avoids the need to have the DVR recording permanently, and it maximises the amount of available hard disk space, while ensuring that the recorded files for alarm event lead-up are kept.
PAR ENABLED – to allow PRE-ALARM RECORDING, select YES. To disable PAR, select NO.
PAR KEEP TIME – select the length of pre-alarm footage which you wish to retain on the disk. Options are 1MIN, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50MINS, 1HOUR, UNLIMITED.
The DVR will record all cameras specified for ALARM RECORDING for the duration specified in the PAR KEEP TIME setting. The DVR will be recording continuously, but will only keep the recordings for the specified time.
16
X500 and R500 Instruction Manual Chapter 3 – User Guide – X500/R500 Menu System
3.1.3.2 Alarm Inputs/Outputs
ALARM INPUTS – sets the active/inactive status of each alarm input and defines the function (action)
of the DVR when the selected alarm is active.
ALARM OUTPUT/LEDs – sets the conditions for the alarm outputs. ALARM CAMERA CYCLER – configures the options for the DVR to automatically switch between
cameras and the Health Page.
ALARM INPUT ALARM FILE – provides an option for files to be marked as alarm recordings. ALARM INPUT HOLD-OFF – controls the number of seconds for which ALARM RECORDING is delayed
after an alarm input has been triggered.
ALARM INPUT POST-DELAY – controls the number of seconds for which the alarm state is held once
the alarm input has changed state.
PRE-TRIG WRITE PROTECT specifies the duration prior to the alarm recording for which files will be marked as write protected. This assumes that another mode of recording was already writing files to disk. Select from available values: 1SEC, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 1MIN, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50MINS, 1HOUR, 2HOURS.
POST-TRIGGER RECORDING – specifies the duration of recording after the alarm trigger. Once post­trigger has elapsed, recording will stop or return to the previous recording mode. Post-trigger values are: OFF, 1SEC, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 1MIN, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50MINS, 1HOUR, 2HOURS.
ANALOG INPUT HYSTERESIS – specifies the voltage value difference that must occur in order to change the alarm state, eg if the trigger is set to 14V, when 14V is met the trigger will switch. In order to switch back, a change of 2V must occur, ie 14-2 = 12V. Available values are: 1V, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7and 8V.

X500 Alarm Inputs
R500 Alarm Inputs
NB: There is a priority order on the Alarm Inputs. The lower numbered Alarm Inputs take priority
over the higher numbers. For example, if Alarm Input one is wired to the Reversing sensor, and is set to to trigger NORMAL RECORDING when the Reversing sensor is activated, this alarm will take priority over any other alarm currently triggered.
3.1.3.3 Alarm Inputs
The X500 has 6 alarm inputs on the screw terminal block – see Figure 10 - X500 Connections/Wiring.
The R500 has 10 alarm inputs on the screw terminal block – see Figure 12 - R500 Connections/Wiring.
ALARM INPUTS menu sets the alarm inputs to be ACTIVE or INACTIVE. If an alarm input number is highlighted with a white background, this indicates its current state is active. No highlight indicates the state is inactive.
Use the left and right menu buttons on the Reviewer to set the active voltage. For a 12V input, use typically <6V or >6V to ensure a clear change in state triggers the alarm.
FUNCTION lists the available ALARM INPUT FUNCTIONS for selection. The FUNCTION defines the action of the DVR when the selected alarm input is active. The function is active for the duration of the alarm (plus post trigger time if selected):
EMBED ALARM STATE menu configures options for adding text to recorded images.
ALARM 1 IS INACTIVE @ - Shows the current state of each of the alarm inputs. The corresponding number for each alarm input will be highlighted (white background) for ACTIVE and not highlighted for INACTIVE. To view the current state for each alarm input, use the arrow keys on the Reviewer to move up and down to each alarm number. The voltage is also shown.
