The RAID function makes it possible to improve the HDD's tolerance
to errors.
This product is equipped with the RAID6 mode that can recover
image data when two HDDs fail, in addition to the RAID5 mode that
can recover image data (RAID6 has two sets of error correcting
code data). This prevents loss of recorded image data on large
volume HDDs (refer to the Setup Instructions (PDF file).
Note:
•
To use the RAID5 mode you need to connect 3 or more HDDs,
the RAID6 mode requires 4 or more HDDs.
•
Theoretical volume when RAID5 mode enabled
Theoretical volume = HDD with smallest capacity in the unit x
(number of HDDs in the unit −1)
•
•
Theoretical volume when RAID6 mode enabled
Theoretical volume = HDD with smallest capacity in the unit x
(number of HDDs in the unit −2)
The capacity of the HDDs that are installed may be a few
percents smaller.
Encrypting Data Recorded on the HDDs
The image and audio data recorded on the HDDs is encrypted. The
image and audio data on the HDDs cannot be played except on the
recorder.
The recorder uses RSA® BSAFE™ software from RSA Security Inc.

Event Functions
High through put is achieved by separating the camera port and the
client PC port. In addition to acquiring extremely stable images, you
can connect a maximum of 64 cameras and 16 client PCs,
depending on your network.
About Events
Events are things that trigger special operations by the recorder.
The event function includes terminal alarms, site alarms, and
command alarms.
For example, if a camera sends a site alarm, the recorder receives
the alarm and an event occurs.
Recording
Camera images from network cameras are recorded on the
recorder. One Network Disk Recorder can record images from a
maximum of 64 cameras. JPEG, M-JPEG, and MPEG-4 images are
supported.
About event operations
Event operations are the operations done when an event occurs.
Event operations include, depending on the settings, recording
images, recording logs, sending external notification (mail
notification, LED, buzzers, FTP transmission and others). Here,
operations that send external notifications are called alarms.

About Connectors
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Connectivity
This section explains how to connect an Uninterruptible Power Supply (hereafter UPS) as part of your power outage countermeasures.
When the recorder receives a power outage detection signal from the UPS, it begins its internal power off sequence (process to stop recording to
protect the recorder).
After the internal power off sequence is complete, a signal is output from the Power outage recovery completion output to the UPS and the
recorder is then ready to turn off power.
