● Cautions

Places to avoid

• Direct exposure to sunlight or near a source of heat such as a radiator.

• Very dirty and dusty places. Places subject to strong vibrations.

• Near a transformer, dimmer, video player, radio, or monitor. These may cause humming noises, etc.

About mounting

• Do not block the ventilation openings or slots in the cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.

• Always keep the temperature in the rack within +45°C (113°F).

• Secure the rear of the appliance to the rack with additional mounting brackets (procured locally), if the rack is subject to

vibration.

■ Installing the Hard Disk

There is space for up to 8 hard disks.

The unit is provided with four IDE interfaces, allowing installation of up to eight hard disks.

1. Turning off the power.

Please check the rear of the unit and confirm that the power switch is turned off, the power cord has been disconnected,

and the [OPERATE] indicator is off.

2. Remove the top cover.

Remove four screws on the side panel and five screws at the rear to remove the top cover (see Fig. 1).

frames

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

3. Remove the hard disk fixing frame.

Of the five hard disk fixing frames, the three frames nearest the front panel can accept two hard disks each. The two

frames near the rear panel will accept one hard disk each.

If you need to remove a hard disk fixing frame, be careful not to damage the fan connection terminal and the hard disk

cable. (Fig. 2)

4. Ready the hard disk and install wire jumpers.

To connect two hard disks to one IDE interface, make sure to designate one as the Master HDD and the other the Slave

HDD. If only one hard disk is connected, make this the Master HDD. (For connection of the Master and Slave HDD, refer to

the operating instructions of the hard disk.)

Pay attention to the following when choosing the connection position of the Master and Slave HDD.

(1) When connecting two hard disks to IDE port 1, make the one on the left the Master and the one on the right the Slave,

as seen from the front of the recorder. See Fig. 3.

(2) When connecting three pairs of hard disks to IDE port 0, 2 and 3 (6 in total), make the top one the Master and the bot-

tom one the Slave (see Figs. 3 and 5).

2.4 Operations for Events

2.3.2 Playback the record

(1) FWD/REV playback

2.4.1 Event type

Terminal Alarm: An event input to be entered from a sen-

sor to the TERMINAL port of this unit.

Motion Detection: An event to sense and record the move-

ment of an object with the aid of the motion detector

function (refer to Cautions below).

Press the [FWD] button, [REV] button, or direction but-

ton (left/right) during playback.

Each time one of these buttons is pressed, the

FWD/REV speed is changed.

The playback speed is displayed in the status display

area in the upper left of the screen.

>>, >>>>, >>>>>>: Fast-forward playback

<<, <<<<, <<<<<<: Fast-rewind playback

When the [PLAY] button is pressed, playback is per-

formed at a regular speed.

Cautions:

1. The external alarm input or the motion detector alarm

input is a signal to start recording. If an alarm arises

during recording, recording is just continued.

2. When the motion detector function senses the move-

ment of an object, the sensor generates a signal output

by sensing the variation in brightness.

Note: The FWD and REV speeds are set up with "I Frame

Inter." and "Frame Rate" of the "WJ-RT208 SETUP

MENU" – "SYSTEM MANAGEMENT" – "SYSTEM SETUP"

menu.

Video Loss: Loss of a video signal caused as a result of

camera signal cable disconnection or camera malfunc-

tion.

Method of calculation:

(>>,<<) = "I Frame Inter." x denominator of "Frame

Rate"

2.4.2 Action at an event

(>>>>,<<<<) = "I Frame Inter." x denominator of

"Frame Rate" x 2

When an event occurs, this unit identifies the event and an

alarm action is taken according to the setup conditions.

(>>>>>>,<<<<<<) = "I Frame Inter." x denominator

of "Frame Rate" x 4

Example 1: When "4" is set for "I Frame Inter." and "Full"

is set for "Frame Rate":

• When an event occurs, the [ALARM] indicator blinks.

The indicator is simultaneously lit up when automatic

resetting has been activated.

>>, <<: approx. 4-fold, >>>>,<<<<: approx. 8-fold,

>>>>>>,<<<<<<: approx. 16-fold

Example 2: When "4" is set for "I Frame Inter." and

"1/2F" is set for "Frame Rate":

Caution: Automatic resetting is set up so that an alarm

action is automatically finished after the lapse of a

specified time after the event occurs. This time set-

ting is made with the menu shown below.

"WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TER-

MINAL REC" - "Alarm Time"

>>, <<: approx. 8-fold, >>>>,<<<<: approx. 16-

fold, >>>>>>,<<<<<<: approx. 32-fold

"WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "VMD

REC" - "Alarm Output"

After the automatic resetting function is effective,

the system returns to the status before the alarm

went off.

(2) SKIP playback

When the 6/7 button is pressed during playback,

the image skips to the previous one or the later one and

playback starts from the beginning.

(3) Playback/pause

When the [ALARM RESET] button is pressed, the

[ALARM] indicator goes out.

When the [PAUSE] button is pressed, playback will be

paused. When the [PAUSE] button is pressed again,

ordinary playback starts again.

• Time and contents of an event are recorded in "WJ-

RT208 SETUP MENU" – "REPORT" – "EVENT LOG".

Note: When the [STILL] button is pressed, it is impossible

to pause playback.

• Event state of the specified channel will be displayed.

(4) Step playback

Caution: During an external or motion detector alarm,

each relevant icon is displayed as shown below.

The external alarm icon is displayed with the

mark and the motion detector alarm icon with the

mark.

When the [PLAY] button or the direction button (right) is

pressed, in the middle of a pause, playback of a single

frame continues.

When the [PAUSE] button is pressed again, ordinary

playback starts again.

If the video signals are lost, "NO SIGNAL" is dis-

played in the position for channel name.

• When an event occurs, the monitoring images of its

channel are displayed in the spot screen.

The spot screen is set up with the menu specified

below.

"WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "SYSTEM MANAGEMENT" -

"SYSTEM SETUP" - "Alarm Spot" - "On"

3. Even though an alarm occurs, no automatic recording

is carried out unless "Period1" or "Period2" of "TERMI-

NAL REC" and "VMD REC" has been set at "On".

4. Information about external alarms is directly sent to the

PC through the network. It has no relation to the "TER-

MINAL REC" and "VMD REC" setting at the recorder.

Please refer to <<Network Operating Instructions.pdf>>

on the CD-ROM.

• Recording when an event occurs

When there is an alarm, recording is automatically car-

ried out during the setup time. In the state of Video

Loss, no recording is carried out. This time setting is

made with the menu shown below.

"WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TERMI-

NAL REC" and "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC &

EVENT" - "VMD REC" - "Period1" or "Period2" - "On"

5. When "Full" is selected for "Frame Rate", performing

playback, recording of all channels and transmission of

all channels of Net Client in parallel for many hours may

stop image processing. In this case, recording will be

continued, though few frames may be dropped.

2.4.3 Cancellation of alarm

When the [ALARM RESET] button is pressed, the alarm is

cancelled. The [ALARM] indicator goes off.

Notes:

1. Recording is continued even though this alarm is can-

celled.

• Buzzer

The [ALARM] indicator blinks when an alarm is activat-

ed, and this buzzer sounds.

The buzzer is set up with the menu specified below.

2. The alarm cannot be cancelled while a menu is dis-

played.

Close the menu, and then press the [ALARM RESET]

button to cancel the alarm.

3.3 Backup by External HDD

This unit can record a data backup with an external HDD

including a 2.5-inch external hard disk. (Usually, an exter-

nal hard disk can be used.) In order to avoid data loss due

to hard disk malfunction or sudden accidents, we recom-

mend recorded data backup with external media.

Notes:

1. When an external HDD is used, initialization is usually

unnecessary. The data on the external HDD are deleted

during data backup. Prior to starting data backup,

therefore, it is necessary to examine if any important

data are contained on the external HDD.

2. If the connection cable is pulled out in the middle of

data backup, the external HDD may be damaged. The

connection cable can be pulled out only if data backup

is completed and the appropriate prompt dialog box is

displayed.

Caution: All record data from the starting time till the

ending time are displayed.

Up to 5 000 record data can be displayed.

When there are 5 000 records or more for the chan-

nel to be played, the latest 5 000 records will be

subject to be played.

3. Connect the external hard disk to the COPY1 connector

at the back or the COPY2 connector on the front. It is

impossible to connect the external hard disk to both

connectors at the same time.
