2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with the Digital Video Recorder. Never use it

with other equipment.

• Do not connect the10BASE-T/100BASE-TX terminal, Hard disk expansion unit connection terminal or

Remote control I/O terminal A to networks that could be exposed to excessive electrical voltage. Failure to follow this instruction could result in electric shock or fire.

• 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.

• Avoid installing the Recorder in humid or dusty locations, or in locations exposed to direct sunlight, sooty

smoke or steam. Note that even in locations which are not particularly dusty, dust may accumulate at the Recorder’s ventilation slots. Because this could cause an extreme rise in temperature inside the Recorder, be sure to clean the ventilation slots periodically after switching off the power and disconnecting the power supply plug from the AC outlet. It is highly recommended that the ventilation slots be cleaned once a year.

• 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.

• Do not block the ventilation slots or cooling fan, which could cause the temperature inside the Recorder to

rise, possibly resulting in unit failure. Install the Recorder 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/RW disks.

• 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.

3. GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Triplex

This function permits recording while viewing live and recorded images in multi-screen display. In Triplex setting, individual live or recorded images can be set to be displayed on individual split-screen segments.

Pre-Recording

Retroactive recordings can be made for up to 5 minutes before the occurrence of an alarm event (alarm signal input or motion movement) or priority recording, even if no recording is currently in progress.

Mirror Recording

Recording can be simultaneously made on 2 hard disks. Even if one hard disk should fail, the other hard disk continues to record or play back.

Master and Slave Units

When synchronizing the Digital Video Recorders, one can be designated as a master unit, which can be used to control the other slave units.

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 twice that of mirror mode.

Alarm Event Recording

Refers to both alarm recording and motion detected recording. Alarm recording is performed when the alarm input terminal of the Digital Video Recorder or Combination Camera receives a signal. Motion detected recording begins when movement is detected in the camera image.

Recording Rate (IPS)

Refers to the number of image frames to be recorded per second. The unit is IPS. The larger IPS value is, the shorter recording intervals can become.

Event

Recording data from the start to the end of recording mode (Priority recording, Alarm Event recording and Normal recording) is expressed as one event.

Post time

Set the time until the hard disk finished recording.

Schedule

The Digital Video Recorder’s auto-recording mode allows recording to be made according to a preset schedule.

Live mode

Mode displaying current live camera images.

Playback mode

Mode displaying recorded camera images.

4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TOA's C-DR Series Digital Video Recorders feature a digital compression method that permits camera images to be recorded on an internal hard disk. The C-DR091 Series is designed for 9 channels, while the C-DR161 Series can be used for up to 16 channels. It can simultaneously play back recorded camera images while continuing to record images onto the hard disk. Mounting in EIA-Standard equipment racks can also be easily performed with the addition of optional rack mounting brackets.

6. FEATURES

• Simultaneous Recording/Playback Function

Recorded images can be played back without interrupting recording.

• Triplex (Recording + Playback + Live Image) Function

Live and recorded images can be simultaneously viewed during recording in multi-screen display.

• Pre-Recording

• Speed Search Function

Date/time Search and Event Search functions permit desired scenes to be quickly found and viewed.

• Mirroring Recording

Mirroring Recording function performs the simultaneous recording of data onto the two hard disks. Even if one of the disks fails, recording and playback can still be performed using the other disk. For models with a single hard disk (versions with model number suffix -08, -1, D08 or D1), the mirror mode is available only when the hard disk expansion unit is connected.

The possibility of data loss due to hard disk failure is greatly reduced, increasing reliability.

Note

• 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.

• Be sure to mount the Digital Video Recorder below the heat generating components, and mount the perforated panel between the Recorder and such a heat generating component as required.

• The Digital Video Recorder has a built-in cooling fan. Never block the Recorder’s ventilation slot.

• 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).

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. For models with a single hard disk (versions with a model number suffix -08, -1, D08 or D1), Mirror settings are available only when the hard disk expansion unit is connected. (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 120 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 60 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 hard disk expansion unit.

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 expansion unit is connected, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the expansion unit.

Normal mode Mirror mode

One hard disk Two hard disks One hard disk Two hard disks

HDD A

HDD B

HDD A HDD A

HDD B

15.1.3. Disk recording mode

Overwriting of hard disk recordings can be set to Overwrite or Write Protect. (Refer to p. 76; Recording Settings.)

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.

Notes

Priority recording can be started by any of the following ways.

• Input the signal to the Priority recording input terminal on the rear panel.

• Press the Remote Controller's Priority Recording key.

Recording mode

Priority Recording 1

Auto-recording (operation according to the schedule)

Pre-Alarm recording (operates only in recording stop mode)

Alarm event recording 2

Normal recording 3

Alarm-input recording

Motion-detected 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 Settings.)

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 link cameras that are to have their images recorded and alarm input terminal. 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 link cameras that are to have their images recorded and cameras that are to use motion detection. 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.

15.6. 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.

15.4.2. 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.

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 4 IPS. (Refer to p. 85; Pre-Recording setting.)

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.

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 120 IPS in normal mode and for up to 60 IPS in mirror recording mode. The maximum recording rate that can be set per camera is 60 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 8 IPS, the total recording rate is 120 IPS since the actual per-unit recording rate is 7.5 IPS. Also, if a recording rate of 1/2 IPS or less (1/2

1/60) is designated, the total rate is calculated using the rate

of 0.937500.

15.10. Recording time

Recording time varies depending on the settings described below. For recording time, refer to p. 116, "Recording timetable" as a guide.

• HDD Capacity (80 GB - 600 GB)

• Recording rate (60 - 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/RW disk (available only to models with DVD drives) 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) 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.

[ Archiving to DVD media (models with DVD drives only) ]

Notes

• Usable media: DVD-R, DVD-RW Unusable media: DVD-R DL, DVD+R/RW, DVD+R DL, and DVD-RAM

• Data cannot be added to DVD media after the initial copying. If using a DVD-RW, first erase any existing data on the disc before using it. (This must be done on a PC and cannot be done on the Digital Video Recorder.)

• It is not possible to play back video files copied to a DVD on the main unit. Insert the DVD in the drive of a compatible computer 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.

18.1. Archiving & Transfer Times

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.

[Recording conditions] Picture quality level: 1 (Max. 64 KB)

Total recording rate: 120 IPS (Disk mode: Normal)

Lowering the picture quality level increases the number of files.

Note

Transfer time will be longer if the Digital Video Recorder is accessing the hard disk drive (during recording, playback, 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 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 240. Playing files using the special viewer software downloaded at the time of archiving will change the resolution to 720 X 480.

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 name or file name 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.

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.

(Factory-preset to OFF.)

) Whether or not to make the Priority Recording key usable at Operation Level 3 can be set in the “Priority Recording

Operation Level 3” settings.

) The camera menu cannot be displayed on the full screen.

If no operations areperformed for a pre-set period of time after log-in, the systemautomatically 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.

19.1.1. Passwords and operation levels

If no passwords have been set, Operation Level is “1.” Refer to the table below if a password has been set.

Enter the password corresponding to the desired operation level. Operation levels after log-out are shown enclosed in a bold rectangle.

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.

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 NTT server for time synchro

-nization.

Set time synchronization.

Set the time used for time synchronization. When using a one-channel 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.
