The Vi200 is designed to be easy to use whilst offering high quality digital video recording and playback, primarily for CCTV security applications.
The video images from all connected cameras are continuously recorded onto the built-in hard disc. When the disc is full, the Vi200 keeps on recording, overwriting the oldest images.
Images are retained for a specified user programmable number of days, typically 14 or 31. All images recorded within the period will be available for replay. Older image are no longer available.
Several methods are provided for finding the recorded images you want quickly. The built-in CD writer allows a selected part of the recorded information to be written onto a
CD, typically to back-up an incident for use as evidence by the Police. The recording process continues all the time, even when playing back or writing to CD. An optional dial-up module allows images to be viewed on a PC (with a modem) via a
telephone lin e.

1.2 Setting Date/Time
For proper operation of the Vi200 Digital Recorder it is essential that the date and time are set correctly.
If the system clock has an invalid date or time when the Vi200 is powered up (or at any time during operation), the date and time setting window will be automatically displayed
If this occurs, use the number keys to enter the date and time.
The format for the date and time is DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS

1.3 Recording
The Vi200 Digital Recorder should now be fully operational and recording images from all cameras. The default image retention period is 31 days unless set otherwise in the menu (see section 9.2.1).
1.4 Routine Checks
If the Vi200 is not recording, the message STOP will be displayed on top right of the video monitor. This should only happen if there is no video, if no hard drive is fitted or if it is faulty, or if record timers have been set to disable recording.
Although the system is intended for continuous un-attended operation, it is recommended that the user regularly check that images from all cameras replay correctly. Any potential problems with the cameras or recording system will then be detected as soon a possible, rather than continuing un-noticed until a critical incident needs to be recalled from the system.
Similarly, when a CD has been created you should check that it plays back correctly before the images on the hard drive in the Vi200 become over-written. The CD may be checked by either by playing it on the Vi200 or on a PC.
,
1.5 Care of the Hard Drive
The hard drive is a delicate mechanical item that should be handled with care. Before moving a Vi200 that has been powered up, remove power and wait for 30 se conds for th e
drive to stop spinning
. This is a precaution to avoid possible damage to the hard drive.
