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.
11
• 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

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
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.
• 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

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).
8. RACK MOUNTING
Use the optional MB-23B Rack Mounting Bracket when mounting the Digital Video Recorder in an equipment
rack. Remove 4 rubber feet on the bottom surface by loosening their respective fixing screws with a standard
screwdriver.

10.4. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Terminal Connections
Use this terminal to remotely monitor or control cameras connected to the Digital Video Recorder, or search or
play back their recorded images on a PC web browser. When connecting a PC directly to the Digital Video
Recorder, use a network crossover cable. Use the straight-through cable for connection between them via a
switching hub.
10.3. 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.)
Note
Ensure that the cable is securely locked into the terminal after connection. (Refer to p. 24; Alarm input
terminal connections.)
10.3.1. 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.
