2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with the Digital Video Recorder. Never use it
with other equipment.
• It is recommended that the Recorder be always used in locations where the ambient temperature ranges
from +5°C to +40°C (41°F to 104°F) and humidity levels of less than 80% to ensure that no condensation is
formed.
• When moving the Recorder, first disconnect its power supply plug from the AC outlet and then wait at least
30 seconds before moving.
• Avoid moving the Recorder suddenly from a cold location to a warm location, or installing it in close
proximity to an air-conditioner outlet, as internal condensation could result. When condensation occurs, do
not switch on the power until the Recorder has sufficiently dried. Also, when brought into a warm room from
the cold outdoors, be sure to leave it unused for at least half a day before using it.
• Be sure to clean the ventilation slots periodically. (Annual cleaning is recommended.)
• When cleaning the Recorder, be sure to switch off the power. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. If it gets very dirty,
use the soft cloth slightly moistened in neutral cleanser. Never use volatile spirits like thinner, benzine, or
alcohol. Such chemicals may damage its plastic surface.
• Avoid installing the unit in close proximity to walls. The temperature inside the unit may rise, possibly
resulting in unit failure. (Install the unit at least 100 mm (3.9 inch) away from the nearest wall surface.)
• Since the Recorder is equipped with a cooling fan, a motor sound is generated. Avoid installing the Digital
Video Recorder in locations which resonate electrical motor noise.
• Do not install the Recorder in locations influenced by strong electrical or magnetic fields, as monitor screen
pictures may become distorted or the Recorder could fail.
• The Recorder can be used only in a commercial and industrial area. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause radio disturbance and TV interference.
• Avoid jarring or striking the Recorder. The Recorder is a piece of precision equipment and accidentally
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts could cause its failure. When transporting the Recorder,
carefully pack it in the supplied carton to protect it from shock.
• Avoid using the Recorder in locations exposed to vibration. The Recorder is a piece of precision equipment,
as this may cause the unit malfunction.
• Avoid installing the Recorder vertically or tilting it at extreme angles, since it is designed to be used in a
horizontal position only.
• About the hard disks
• If the hard disk fails, recorded data cannot be restored.
• Save important recordings to DVD-R disk.
• Recordings copied from video images or video recordings with registered copyrights may not be used for
commercial purposes other than for private use without express permission from the copyright holder.
• TOA takes no responsibility for any incidental damage, such as loss of sales opportunities, that may result.
• Avoid using the camera in line-locked mode. Failure to do so may cause the displayed camera images to
flicker. Also, video may be lost if power frequency fluctuates significantly.

Notes
• The rack mounting screws supplied with the MB-23B can be used for the TOA equipment rack only. Do not
use them for other racks.
• Use the Digital Video Recorder in locations with ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C (41°F and
104°F). When rack-mounting the Digital Video Recorder, the ambient temperature must be kept 35°C (95°F)
or below.
• The Recorder is equipped with an internal cooling fan. Never block the fan exhaust vent.
• Avoid installing the Digital Video Recorder in locations exposed to vibration.
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum
rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power
strips).
8. RACK MOUNTING

10.4. Control I/O Terminal Connections
The control input and output terminals include: priority recording terminal, camera control terminal, remote
controller input/output terminals, control output terminal, and time synchronization input/output terminals.
(Refer to p. 14; Nomenclature and functions.)
Notes
• Ensure that the cable is securely locked into the terminal after connection. (Refer to p. 24; Alarm input
terminal connections.)
• Use the CPEV-S cable (twisted pair shielded cable) with diameter larger than 0.65 mm for the Control Input
/Output terminal connections. Also be sure to connect the shielded cable to the GND terminal.
• The maximum cable length of the control cable from the Digital Video Recorder to the camera of which
termination is set to ON is 1.2 km. Also the maximum cable length of the control cable from the Remote
Controller to the Digital Video Recorder of which termination switch is set to ON is 1.2 km.
10.4.1. Time synchronization input/output terminal connections
Two different methods are available to synchronize the time, one using both master and slave units, the other
using NTP. (Refer to p. 100; Date/time setting.)
Note
When synchronizing a single-channel Digital Video Recorder, set the synchronization interval to "5 seconds."
(Refer to p. 100; Date/time setting.)
To synchronize the times of slave units with the time of the master unit, connect the slave units to the master
unit in a series via their input and output terminals. In other words, connect the input of slave number 1 to the
master unit’s output and the input of slave number 2 to slave number 1’s output, and so on.

15. RECORDING
15.1. Before Recording
Auto-recordings are normally performed according to the preprogrammed schedule. Operations to start
recording such as pressing the key are not required. You can also make recording by pressing the Priority
Recording key outside the scheduled time period. Perform disk mode and overwrite settings before recording.
15.1.1. Disk mode
Normal and mirror modes are available to this mode. (Refer to p. 101; Equipment maintenance.)
Notes
• When the disk mode is changed, the hard disk is initialized, causing the recorded images to be erased. Be
sure to determine the disk mode before use.
• Unless the disk mode setting is performed, mirror recording cannot be performed as the hard disk is factory-
preset to normal mode.
Normal mode:When the first hard disk finishes recording, the second hard disk automatically begins to
record. When the settings (recording rate and picture quality) of both normal and mirror
modes are set to be identical, the recording time for normal mode is about twice that of
mirror mode. The total recording rate is 100 IPS maximum.
Mirror mode:The same image is simultaneously recorded on both hard disks. Even if one of the two
hard disks fails, the other hard disk continues to record, allowing all recorded images to be
played back. The total recording rate is 50 IPS maximum. Set the disk mode to Mirror
when performing mirroring by the two built-in hard disks or when performing mirroring by
the built-in hard disk and the Disk Array.
Note
When the hard disk expansion unit is connected, intermissive audio reproduction may occur when playback is
performed during recording. In such cases, decrease the live image transmission picture quality of the network
settings, recording picture quality of the recording settings, or the recording rate.
15.1.2. Recording order to hard disks
Recordings to the built-in hard disks are performed in the following order.
Note
For the recording operation when the Disk Array is connected, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with
the Disk Array.
Normal modeMirror mode
HDD A
HDD A
HDD B
HDD B
Page 39
39
15.1.3. Disk recording mode
Overwriting of hard disk recordings can be set to Overwrite or Write Protect. (Refer to p. 76; Recording
setting.)
Overwrite:When all hard disks become full, previous recorded older data is automatically deleted and
replaced with newer data.
Write Protect: When all hard disks become full, recording is stopped. To begin recording again, initialize the
hard disk and reactivate the Digital Video Recorder, or set the disk-recording mode to
"Overwrite."
15.2. Recording Mode
The following recording modes are available to the Digital Video Recorder. Priorities are (1), (2) and (3) in that
order.
15.3. Priority Recording
Priority recording is given higher priority over Auto-recording. Use this recording mode to check recording
details when, for example, a suspicious person intrudes or when making recording outside the scheduled time
period. In the Priority Recording settings, the following settings can be made for individual cameras: recording
ON/OFF, recording rate, picture quality and audio ON/OFF. (Refer to p. 77; Priority recording setting.)
15.3.1. How to perform priority recording
1. Press the Priority Recording key to start the priority recording. To stop a buzzer sound, press the Buzzer
Stop key.
2. Hold down the Priority Recording key for 2 seconds or more to terminate the priority recording.

15.4. Auto Recording (Alarm Event Recording and Normal Recording)
With auto-recording, recordings are made according to a preset schedule, which can include up to twelve
different programs. If one or more programs have duplicate execution times, the program with a largest
number takes precedence. Settable items for each program include: Day of the Week; Start/End Times; and
Operation. Up to six settings groups, named A through F, can be made for "Operation," and recording settings
for Normal and Alarm recording can also be registered. Further, up to sixty "special day" operational settings
can also be made, with operation controlled by different programs, motion detection areas for individual
cameras, and audio recording during auto- recording. (Refer to p. 79; Auto-recording setting.)
Notes
• If the Alarm display interval is set to "0" second, no full-screen display is performed and the current display
status is maintained.
• If an alarm event occurs outside the scheduled time period, Alarm Event recording is not performed.
15.4.1. Alarm event recording
Alarm Event recording includes both "Alarm Input" and "Motion Detection" recording. For Alarm Event
recording, settable items for each individual camera include: Recording ON/OFF; Recording Rate; and Picture
Quality. It is also possible to set, for each recording mode, the type of events that will cause recording to
begin. (Refer to p. 82; Alarm event recording setting.)
For Alarm Event recording mode, it is possible to set the type of recording operation to be performed when
multiple events have occurred simultaneously. Setting the mode to "Sequence" allows two or more events to
be set for individual cameras. For Alarm Input recording time, set both alarm input mode and post alarm time
intervals. For Motion Detection, set both motion detection mode and post-motion alarm time. (Refer to p. 80;
Setting of groups A-F.)
When an alarm event occurs, the corresponding camera’s image is switched to full-screen display until the
preset alarm time interval has elapsed, after which the display reverts to the original screen display. (Refer to
p. 86; Screen display setting.)
Alarm input recording:Alarm Input recording begins when signals are received at the alarm input
terminal on the rear panel. Use event settings to set cameras to be recorded. If
"Sequence" is selected, up to four alarm input terminals can be set optionally
per camera. If "Last" is selected, the "Alarm ON/OFF" can be set only for the
alarm input terminal with a number corresponding to that of the camera.
Motion detected recording: Motion Detection recording begins when motion is detected in a camera image.
Use Motion Settings to set the motion detection area, sensitivity, and activation.
Use event settings to set cameras to be recorded. If "Sequence" is selected as
the alarm event recording mode, then up to four alarm input terminals can be
set optionally per camera. If "Last" is selected, the "Alarm ON/OFF" can be set
only for the alarm input terminal with a number corresponding to that of the
camera.
15.4.2. Normal recording
This function automatically records camera images set by schedule. For Normal recording, settable items for
each individual camera include: Recording ON/OFF; Recording Rate; and Picture Quality. (Refer to p. 81;
Normal recording setting.) Recordings can be made on scheduled patterns like "day and night," and
"weekdays and holidays" by combining two or more programs.
Page 41

15.6. Recording State
The Digital Video Recorder permits recordings to be set to best meet user requirements.
[ Auto recording (Normal recording) ]
Recording is performed as shown in the following figure when set to always automatically record (Normal
recording).
Recording within a scheduled time period
(1) Priority recording is initiated if Priority recording's event occurs.
(2) When the Priority recording ends, recording reverts to Normal
recording mode.
(3) Alarm Event recording is initiated if the alarm input terminal
receives a signal or if motion movement is detected.
(4) When the preset Alarm Event recording interval elapses, recording
reverts to Normal recording mode.
(5) Priority recording is initiated if a Priority signal is received or if
manually started during Alarm Event recording.
(6) When the Priority recording ends, recording reverts to Normal
recording.
Notes
• Perform Normal recording settings in auto recording settings.
• Normal recordings are factory-preset to "recordings ON" for all
cameras.
15.5. Pre-Recording
This function records images immediately before Priority recording or Alarm Event recording is initiated.
Setting the Pre-Recording interval to 1 second or more allows Pre-Recording to be performed. In PreRecording, the recording rate and picture quality cannot be individually set for each camera. Instead,
recording rate, picture quality, and audio ON/OFF settings are common to all connected cameras. The
maximum recording rate per camera is 3 IPS. (Refer to p. 85; Pre-recording settings.)
Pre-Recording can be performed under the following conditions.
• When Priority recording begins while recording is stopped.
• When an alarm event occurs and alarm even recording begins while a schedule in which Normal Recording
is not available but Alarm Event Recording is available is in operation.
Note: Pre-Recording cannot be performed during Normal Recording.

manually started during Alarm Event recording.
(6) When the Priority recording ends, recording reverts to recording
stop mode.
Notes
• Even if Priority recording or Alarm recording is initiated, it is made
following Pre-Recording.
• Pre-Recording is initiated when the Pre-Alarm interval is set to 1
second or more.
[ Recording only when Priority recording is initiated or alarm event occurs ]
To stop recording within the scheduled time period, set all cameras to "Recording OFF" in normal recording
settings. To perform recording only when Priority recording or Alarm Event recording is initiated, recording is

15.9. Recording Rate
The recording rate indicates the number of images to be recorded per second and is expressed by the unit
IPS (Image Per Second). In the Digital Video Recorder, the total recording rate is the sum of each camera’s
recording rate and recordings can be made for up to 100 IPS in normal mode and for up to 50 IPS in mirror
recording mode. The maximum recording rate that can be set per camera is 50 IPS.
The recording rate to be set on the menu screen is displayed, rounded up. The following table shows the
relationship of menu screen display vs. actual recording rate.
The total recording rate is calculated by the actual recording rate in the above table. If, for example, each of
16 cameras is set to a menu screen display value of 6 IPS, the total recording rate is 100 IPS since the actual
per-unit recording rate is 6.25 IPS.
Also, if a recording rate of 1/2.5 IPS or less (1/2.5
-
1/60) is designated, the total rate is calculated using the
rate of 0.78125.
15.10. Recording time
Recording time varies depending on the settings described below.
For recording time, refer to p. 117, "Recording time table" as a guide.
• HDD Capacity
• Recording rate (50 - 1/60)
• Picture quality (1 - 5)
• Audio (ON/OFF)
15.11. Available Disk Time and Operation
When disk recording mode is set to "Overwrite," the available time indication is not displayed and the disk
space indicator does not light. In "Write Protect" mode, when the remaining time is shorter than the preset
remaining warning time, the disk space indicator lights and recording is stopped.

18. ARCHIVE
The Digital Video Recorder is equipped with an archive function that transfers image data recorded on the
hard disk to DVD-R disk or USB memory. Camera image data designated between start position and end
position can be archived. Since dedicated viewer software is also downloaded at the same time, archived
images can be easily played back on a PC.
Note
Archive operation can be performed only at the operation level 1. When the security has been set, perform
archive operation after login to the Operation Level 1.
Two methods can be used to designate the archiving range.
• Designate the archiving range after entering date and time.
• Designate the archiving range while viewing the playback image.
[ Archiving to USB memory devices ]
Notes
• Connect the USB memory device to the copy terminal of the Digital Video Recorder.
• Only mass storage class devices (those recognized as "USB mass storage memory devices" under
Windows 2000/XP/Vista) can be used.
• Compatible with USB 1.1 devices only. Not compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
• USB memory devices formatted with FAT12/FAT16 can only be used.
• It is not possible to play back video files copied to the USB memory device on the Digital Video Recorder.
Connect the USB device to a PC and use viewer software to play back files.
• If USB memory is removed when USB archive is in progress, the Digital Video Recorder will then be unable
to recognize USB memory. Be sure to remove it after finishing archiving or after archive operation is
stopped.
• Data cannot be added to DVD media after the initial copying.
• It is not possible to play back video files copied to a DVD media with this unit. Insert the DVD in the pc's
DVD drive and use viewer software to play back files.
• Do not play DVDs copied on the Digital Video Recorder in a standard DVD player as doing so risks
damaging the DVD player.
• Playback cannot be performed on a PC if the power is turned off during DVD archiving, as archiving is not
complete, making it impossible to recognize DVD media.
Page 52

18.1. Archiving Time
Refer to the table below for time required to archive or transfer files to USB memory devices or DVD media.
Times are shown for the files of the set maximum size.
When archive begins, viewer software (capacity: about 300 KB) is also downloaded at the same time.
*1Archiving times available in the below state are shown. Archiving time will be longer if the total recording
rate is made smaller or the picture quality level is lowered.
Lowering the picture quality level increases the number of files.
Notes
• Archiving time will be longer if the total recording rate is made smaller, number of cameras to be archived is
limited to one camera only, or the picture quality level is lowered.
• Transfer time will be longer if the Digital Video Recorder is accessing the hard disk drive (during recording,
and Web connection).

18.4.4. About error messages
The following error messages are displayed if an error should occur during archiving:
• Terminated for lack of available media space.
This message is displayed when the data size to be archived exceeds the destination media capacity and
shows that the archiving is aborted, as the media is full with data already written. To continue archiving,
insert a new media and perform archiving again.
• Transfer error has been detected.
This message is displayed if archiving media is not inserted or connected. Ensure that the media is correctly
inserted or connected.
If the inserted disk already has included data, the transfer error message is displayed. In such cases,
replace it with a new disk.
• Start and end positions not correctly set.
This message is displayed when the times of start and end positions are entered in reverse order. Reset
correctly.
• Nothing found.
Displayed when the time that no recording data exists is designated or when no existing camera is
designated.
18.5. When Viewing Saved Data
18.5.1. PC Operating conditions and image data
OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista
CPU: Pentium II, 400 MHz or faster
Memory: At least 64 MB
Hard Disk Capacity: 10 MB or more
Image data is saved as JPEG files at a resolution of 720 X 288. Playing files using the special viewer software
downloaded at the time of archiving will change the resolution to 720 X 576.
Page 57
57
Special Viewer Software:
This software is downloaded to the target media during archiving. Its functions include resizing copied videos,
continuous or frame advance playback, and tampering/alteration check.
Folders Numbered by Archiving Session:
It is possible to divide archived data into folders by designating multiple start and end times when archiving.
When adding new files to USB memory devices, the new folders are numbered starting by automatically
adding 1 to the largest existing folder number. Folder numbers are from 0001 to 9999.
Folders Numbered by Date:
A separate folder is created for each copy session with a different date, with each folder name shown as a set
of numbers indicating "YEAR MONTH DAY." For example, a folder named "06 07 20" refers to a folder
created on July 20th, 2006.
Folders Numbered by Camera:
A separate folder can be created for each camera number. If there are nine cameras, for example, then these
folders will be numbered 01 through 09 (or 01 through 16 if there are 16 cameras), with JPEG files stored
therein.
File Names:
File names are comprised of "HOUR MINUTE SECOND, SCREEN NUMBER." HOUR is from 00–23.
MINUTE is from 0–59. SECOND is from 0–59. SCREEN NUMBER, from 01–60, differentiates frames taken at
the same time. (The number of frames will vary depending on the recording rate set for each camera.) The
extension on all file names is .jpg.
For example, a file named "13 05 49 08.jpg" refers to file created as the 8th frame taken at the time 13:05:49.
18.5.2. Folder Configuration and File Name
Notes
• Folder name or file name at the time of DVD archiving is referenced in Time zone setting (Refer to p. 90;
Network setting.). Folder generating date or file generating date is displayed correctly only when time zone
setting has been performed correctly.
• Folder name or file name is to be created at standard time when recording data during summer time period
is archived. To replace it with summer time indication, advance 1 hour.
• The name of the viewer software will differ depending on which type of media is being archived to.
For USB memory devices the name will be "VIEWER.EXE."
For DVD media the name will be "ResizeViewer.exe."

19. ABOUT SECURITY SETTING
Each level of security settings can be made for each operation or setting of the Digital Video Recorder. The
following three types of security methods are available.
1. Secure the Digital Video Recorder's operating keys.
2. Secure against external remote access.
3. Secure against web access
Using the above security methods in combination allows a higher level of security than using any one method
alone. The following describes the various available security functions.
19.1. Securing the Digital Video Recorder's Operating Keys
Security can be set at any of four operating levels (1, 2, 3 or Full-lock) using a six-digit password and USB
key. Permissions can be allowed or disallowed for each operating level, as shown in the table below.
Log-Out TimeCan be set to 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes or OFF.

) When activating the camera menu on the multi-segment split screens, the camera menu is displayed while the
(*
multi-segment split screen remains unchanged.
All functions available, including setting changes and archiving. Entering the corresponding password
gives access to Operation Level 1 from any other operation level.
Live and recorded images can be monitored, however setting changes and archiving cannot be
operated. Entering the corresponding password gives access to Operation Level 2.
Only recorded images can be monitored. The Priority Recording key can be used if settings are
performed(*
No operation possible. If Operation Level 3 is valid (Password 3 has been set), the system
automatically switches to “Full-Lock” mode when the user logs out of Operation Level 3 or when the
log-out interval elapses.
If no operations areperformed for a pre-set period of time after log-in, the systemautomatically logs
out, moving to the lowest set operation level.
[Example] When Operation Levels 1 and 2 are valid (Passwords 1 and 2 have been set),
the operation level after log-out is Level 3.
Selecting ON permits the Priority Recording key to be used even when Operation Level 3 is valid.
If OFF is selected, the Priority Recording key cannot be used when Operation Level 3 is valid.
Regardless of this ON/ OFF setting, the Priority Recording key can always be used at Operation
Levels 1 and 2, and cannot be used when in Full-Lock mode.

First turn the power off. Operating the Digital Video Recorder without a functioning fan can cause heat
buildup, potentially leading to malfunction. Therefore, it is important to pull out the power supply plug
immediately.
• If the malfunction has been caused by the presence of a foreign object in the fan, remove the object.
• If the fan is simply broken, it will need to be replaced. Consult your TOA dealer for more information.
20.5. "Hard Disk Full" Warning
If the overwrite setting is set to "Overwrite Protect" and the hard disk drive begins to run out of free space, a
Remaining Capacity Warning begins. If no recording time remains, a Hard Disk Full error occurs. The time at
which the Remaining Capacity Warning started or at which the hard disk became too full to record further, can
be confirmed by looking at the error log.
20.5.1. If the hard disk becomes full....
• This will cancel the Hard Disk Full status. To set the overwrite setting to "Overwrite Protect" again, set the
overwrite setting to "Overwrite Protect."
• Hard Disk Full status can be cancelled by initializing the hard disk and restart the power.
Note
Initializing the disk will cause all video and other data stored on it to be erased. If any of the data on the disk is
needed, be sure to copy it to another location before initializing the disk.

[ Alarm Event Recording Setting ]
Preset camera images are automatically recorded when an
alarm event occurs. Recording "Enable" (ON) or "Disable"
(OFF), recording rate, picture quality and event settings can be
performed for each camera. The recording rate for cameras
other than alarm event-activated cameras and the total
recording rate are both displayed near the bottom of the screen.
Notes
• If the disk mode is set to "Normal," then set Total Recording Rate to 100 IPS or less. If the disk mode is set
to "Mirror," then set Total Recording Rate to 50 IPS or less. Settings above these are not possible.
• When the hard disk expansion unit is connected, intermissive audio reproduction may occur when playback
is performed during recording. In such cases, decrease the live image transmission picture quality of the
network settings, recording picture quality of the recording settings, or the recording rate.
Total rec rate:
When Alarm Event Recording mode is set to "Sequence" :
The total recording rate for each of the cameras is displayed. If the recording rate for one camera is a smaller
value than "Recording Rate Other Than Event Cameras," then its recording rate is regarded as the "Recording
Rate Other Than Event Cameras" when calculating.
When Alarm Event Recording mode is set to "Last" :
Displays the total of the largest recording rate of one camera out of those to be recorded and the sum of
"Recording Rate Other Than Event Cameras" of other cameras (other cameras' recording rate is all regarded
as the "Recording Rate Other Than Event Cameras" even if each of their rates is smaller than that).

23.2.4. Motion Detection Settings
Motion detection settings can be individually performed for each
camera. By setting the area range to be detected, movement
within the camera image can be automatically detected. Alarm
Event Recordings begin whenever image movement is
detected. (Refer to p. 83; Event setting.)
Notes
• Motion is detected by sensing changes in brightness and
contour movement. For dark images, since the brightness
change is minute, set an appropriate sensitivity relative to
camera's brightness level. Also, motion is hard to detect for
out-of-focus images. Be sure to adjust the focus so that the
image does not blur even when the ambient light level
becomes low.
• In some cases, motion cannot be detected or false motion is
detected depending on the motion sensitivity or brightness
level of the images.
This function is not a dedicated device for prevention of
burglar, fire and etc. TOA takes no responsibility for any
incidental loss or accidents.
1. Move the cursor to the position to set motion detection with
the [], [], [], and [] keys and press the
Menu key. (Motion detection ON: Green, Motion detection
OFF: No indication)
The area indicator alternates between ON and OFF with
each depression of the Menu key. When movement is
detected in the set area, the color of the block turns red.
To set a wider motion detection area, move the cursor
diagonally from the position set in Step 1, then press the
Search key. Similarly, the wider area setting can be reset.
2. Press the (+) key.
Sensitivity settings change each time the key is pressed.
3. Press the (
-
) key.
The motion settings change each time the key is pressed.
4. Hold down the Menu key for 2 seconds or more.
The "Save Settings" dialog is displayed and the display
returns to the previous screen.
This function records images immediately before Priority
recording or Alarm Event recording is initiated. Retroactive
recordings covering intervals up to 5 minutes can be
made.(Refer to p. 41; Pre-recording.)
Notes
• Pre-Recording does not function if the recording interval has
been set to 0 second.
• Activated only when recording is stopped. If recording is in a
stopped state, pre-recording is conducted even if it falls within
the time allotted to an Auto-Recording schedule.

29. DATE/TIME SETTING
This function allows current time settings, time synchronization,
and daylight savings time settings.
Notes
• When duplicate time data exists in the recording data if
current time is changed, operation such as playback,
date/time search, archiving or download may not be
performed correctly in some cases.
• There is no need to reboot the DVR if not synchronizing using
the NTP server, though the message requesting a reboot is
displayed after the clock setting has been saved.
The changed setting is reflected in the device without
rebooting the DVR.
Weeks for daylight savings time are as follows:
First week: First to seventh
Second week : Eighth to fourteenth
Third week: Fifteenth to twenty-first
Fourth week: Twenty-second to twenty-eighth
Last week: Previous 7 calendar days including the last day
Avoid time sync settings one hour before and after the start and end date/time for daylight savings time. Failure to do
so could lead to incorrect time synchronization.
2
*
In some cases set time is not synchronized immediately after the setting has been saved when synchronized using the
NTP server. In such case, synchronization can be complete by restarting the power or wail for a while.
Description
The Clock Setting function adjusts the Digital Video Recorder’ s
clock to the current time. It can also perform Time Synchronization
and Daylight Saving Time adjustments.
Master : When the synchronized time arrives, a time sync
signal is output from the time sync output terminal.
At the same time, the master performs time synchro
-nization for Type B (TOA-B) protocol cameras.
Slave : The synchronized time arrives when a signal enters
the time sync input terminal. Also, the slave performs
time synchronization for Type B (TOA-B) protocol
cameras one minute after a time sync signal has been
input.
NTP: Makes a connection to the NTP server for time synchro
-nization.
At the same time, the master performs time synchroniz ation for Type B (TOA-B) protocol cameras.
Set time synchronization.
Set the time used for time synchronization. When using a onechannel Digital Video Recorder, set the time to 5 seconds.
ON: Activates the Daylight Saving Time adjustment function.
OFF: Disables the Daylight Saving Time adjustment function.
Set the Daylight Saving Time starting date and time.
Month: Jan
Week: the 1st week
Day of the week: Sun
Hour: 00:00
Set the Daylight Saving Time ending date and time.
