SECTION 7: ARCHIVING  
7.1 Archiving Applications Explained  
The following sections explain the usage of the Extended Archiving, Backup Archiving, and Selective/Manual  
Archiving applications for the DVR1 Series Digital Video Recorders.  
7.1.1 Extended Archiving Applications  
Explained: In this application, the DVR is in a Background Archiving Mode. Hence, all recorded video is sent  
to the archive device in a continuous fashion.  
Typical Usage: All video recorded on the DVR’s hard drive is automatically sent to the archive device. This  
process continues until the archiving period is met.  
7.1.2 Backup Archiving Applications  
Explained: This is basically another Background Archiving Mode, where all video is sent to the archive device.  
However, in this case, archiving is used simply to Back up the DVR’s hard drive.  
Typical Usage: In this application, interaction with the archiving device should be minimal. Therefore, when  
full, the unit prepares for overwriting (oldest data first) and begins the recording cycle all over again.  
7.1.3 Selective/Manual Archiving Applications  
Explained: If the DVR’s internal hard drive provides sufficient storage to accommodate your requirements, then  
all that is needed is a way to extract specific video events. The following devices can be used for selective  
archiving.  
Device  
Advantages  
CD-writer  
Low cost medium, must be played back at the PC; graphical disk analysis feature of the  
remote viewer software can be utilized.  
PC Software  
No cost for archive Device. Use the remote viewer software to retrieve video from the  
DVR’s hard drive to a PC’s hard drive (No Disk Analysis feature is available).  
Typical Usage: After an incident is identified, the video segment is isolated and then stored on a PC. The file can  
then be stored on a network or some other storage medium.  
7.2 Using CD-Writers  
NOTE: It is strongly recommended to use only approved archiving devices, as listed at the Bosch Web site;  
NOTE: For complete instructions on how to use your CD-writer, please refer to the manufacturer's instruction  
manual.  
7.2.1 Minimum Requirements  
The following lists the minimum requirements when using a CD-writer.  
Minimum Write Speed: 4X.  
Minimum Read Speed: 16X.  
Interface: SCSI-2.  
Medium: CD-R, CD-RW.  
7.2.2 Connecting the CD Recorder  
1. Connect an appropriate SCSI cable from the CD-writer to the SCSI port of the digital recorder (digital  
video recorders require a standard 50-pin high density male SCSI-2 connector).  
2. Set the CD-writer’s SCSI address to zero (0).  
CAUTION: The SCSI device address MUST be set to zero (0) or the device will not be recognized. Consult  
the device’s manual for instructions on setting the address. Units are not always shipped with the address set to  
zero.  
3. Ensure the SCSI cable is properly terminated at 110 Ohms. If the CD-writer does not have a built-in  
termination, then a terminator will be needed.  
CAUTION: The SCSI bus must be terminated properly, otherwise the system will not operate properly.  
Units are not always packaged with the cables and terminators.  
27  
4. Using the DVR’s (DVR1 or DMX) menu system, set the unit for Selective archiving.  
5. Remove power from the DVR unit.  
6. Apply power to the CD-writer and allow it to initialize.  
7. Apply power to the DVR unit.  
8. Be sure that the CD-writer is recognized by the DVR unit. This may take a few minutes (to view the archive  
status, enable the Archive Status display via the menus of the DVR unit).  
9. Before archiving, make sure the CD is properly inserted into the unit. Otherwise, an  
ARCHIVE NOT READY error message will appear.  
7.3 Creating a CD-ROM with Video Files  
1. Set the digital video recorder for Selective Archive operation.  
2. Open the search menu of the DVR and select the file(s) for archiving.  
• Be aware that a CD can hold only about 550 MB (including housekeeping restrictions, while there are several  
Gigabytes in the digital recorder).  
• If the search shows a file that is larger than this, it will be necessary to filter the search (place tighter restrictions on  
it) until the search results return a file size that can be archived.  
• When multiple small files are selected for archive, the total available space on the CD must be less than 550 MB.  
• CD archiving supports multiple sequential recording sessions. This allows the recording of a video clip, ejecting  
the CD, inserting the same CD at a later time for the recording of sequential video clip(s).  
3. Initiate Archiving.  
• While the CD-writer is recording, the DVR unit indicates the progress of the CD-write operation.  
• While the CD-RW is still in the CD-writer, multiple files can be recorded onto the CD-RW medium.  
7.4 Limitations on CD Operations  
• Restoring (copying a wavelet file with a .60d extension from the CD to the digital recorder hard disk drive) is not  
supported.  
• Erasing a wavelet file with a .60d extension on CD is not supported.  
• Playback of .60d extension files stored on a CD from a digital recorder is not supported. These files are to be  
played back from a PC running the remote viewer software.  
• Background archiving to CD disk is not supported.  
• While archiving a CD, the unit can not record to hard disk.
