Introduction  
Technical Overview  
In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security  
installation, your DVR has many features that make it much more powerful and easier  
to use than even the most advanced VCR.  
The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a  
hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost  
instantaneously; there is no need to rewind tape. The technology also allows you to  
view recorded video while the DVR continues recording video.  
Digitally recorded video has several advantages over analog video recorded on tape.  
There is no need to adjust tracking. You can freeze frames, fast forward, fast reverse,  
slow forward and slow reverse without image streaking or tearing. Digital video can be  
indexed by time or events, and you can instantly view video after selecting the time or  
event.  
Your DVR can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can define times to  
record, and the schedule can change for different days of the week and user-defined  
holidays.  
The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full, or it can be set to  
record over the oldest video once the disk is full.  
Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter  
video.  
You can view video and control your DVR remotely by connecting via modem or  
Ethernet. There is a SCSI port that can be used to record or archive video to external  
hard disk drives, and there are also three USB ports that can be used to upgrade the  
system or copy video clips to external hard disk, CD-RW and flash drives.  
Note  
This manual covers the 9- and 16-channel digital video  
recorders. The DVRs are identical except for the number of  
cameras and alarms that can be connected and the number of  
cameras that can be displayed. For simplicity, the illustrations  
and descriptions in this manual refer to the 16-camera model.

Operation  
Note  
This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and  
configured. If it has not, please refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.  
The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are  
recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over  
recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on  
time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded  
video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional  
DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing, and  
recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.  
The front panel controls are described in Chapter 3, Configuration.  
Turning on the Power  
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2, Installation, it  
is ready to record.

Pressing DISPLAY cycles the DVR through the different display formats.  
The DVR can be set to display full-screen video for a preset dwell time when an Event  
occurs. Video from the lowest camera number associated with the event sensor will be  
displayed, the DVR will return to the previous screen format after the event monitoring  
dwell time expires. While the event monitoring is activated, the monitoring for all other  
subsequent events will be ignored. Pressing individual camera buttons or the DISPLAY  
button during event monitoring releases the current event monitoring and displays the  
selected camera or returns to the previous screen format.  
Pressing SEQUENCE causes the cameras to display sequentially. When in one of the  
multi-view formats, pressing this button will cause the DVR to go through predefined  
screen layouts (Full Sequence). Or, the bottom-right screen will display live cameras  
sequentially (Cameo Sequence). Selecting another display mode, or pressing  
SEQUENCE again exits the Sequence mode. When in one of the multi-view formats,  
pressing the Left or Right arrow buttons will cause the DVR to go to the previous or the  
next page. For example, if you press the Right arrow button in the 2x2 format, the DVR  
changes pages as follows:  
If all the cameras in a page are Off, have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the user  
has authority to view covert cameras), that page will be excluded from the sequence.  
Note  
The Full Sequence for the full sequence monitoring and the  
Cameo Sequence for the cameo sequence monitoring should  
be selected in the Display setup screen, Sequence tab (see  
Display Screen, page 66).  
Pressing FREEZE will freeze the current image on the screen until you press the button  
again. While in the Freeze mode, the icon displays in bottom-left corner if Freeze is  
selected in the Display setup screen (OSD tab).

Operation  
How the cameras are displayed depends on the number of cameras associated with  
the event. If one camera is associated with the event, the DVR will display the camera  
full screen. If two to four cameras are associated with the event, the DVR will display the  
cameras on a 2x2 screen. If five to nine cameras are associated with the event, the DVR  
will display the cameras on a 3x3 screen. If 10 or more cameras are associated with the  
event, the DVR will display the cameras on a 4x4 screen.

Setup Screen, page 62), that camera appears to be Off unless a user with Covert  
Camera View authority logs into the system. The camera title will be grayed out and  
status icons will not be displayed on the monitor.  
Note

Operation  
Using a Mouse  
You can use a mouse instead of the front panel buttons to perform many of the DVR  
functions. The following operations are supported when using a mouse during live  
monitoring:  
•

•
When in one of the multi-view formats (for example, PIP, 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4), clicking  
the mouse button on a camera image switches that camera to full screen. Clicking  
the mouse button again returns to the previous multi-view format.  
When in one of the multi-view formats, scrolling the mouse wheel up and down  
operates the same as pressing DISPLAY by switching the screen format between  
PIP, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4.  
Clicking the right mouse button during live monitoring displays Figure 4-8.

Recording Video  
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2, Installation, it  
is ready to record. The DVR will start recording based on the settings you made in the  
Record setup screen (see Chapter 3, Configuration).  
Recording can be set to Recycle On or Recycle Off. The factory default is Recycle On,  
which means the DVR records over the oldest video once the hard disk is full. Setting  
the DVR to Recycle Off causes it to stop recording once the hard disk is full.  
Resolution can be set to Standard or High. The factory default resolution is Standard.  
When set to Standard, the DVR has a maximum recording speed of 240 ips. When set  
to High, the DVR has a maximum recording speed of 120 ips.  
Note  
When the DVR is in the search mode, the maximum recording  
speed decreases by half. For example, in search mode, the  
DVR’s maximum recording speed decreases to 120 ips when set  
to Standard resolution.

space has been used, panic recording will not operate.  
Although you will be able to record without changing the unit from its original factory  
settings, you will want to take advantages of the DVR’s many tools. See Chapter 3,  
Configuration for detailed descriptions of the recording options.  
Recording Audio  
If the DVR was set up to record audio, it will record audio from up to four inputs when  
video is recording. The DVR will not record audio when the recording speed is set to  
less than 1 ips.  
Note  
Make certain you comply with all local and federal laws and  
regulations when recording audio.  
Playing Recorded Video  
If a user who has Search authority logs into the system, the user can view recorded  
images. Once video has been recorded, you can view it by pressing PLAY/PAUSE.  
When playing video for the first time, the DVR will display the most recent image. When  
playing video subsequent times, the DVR will start playing video from the last recalled

Operation  
Caution Do NOT disconnect the USB cable or the power from the external  
drive while copying video clips. If the external drive is shut down  
or the USB cable is disconnected while copying video clips, THE  
DVR SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK NORMALLY OR THE EXTERNAL  
DRIVE COULD BE DAMAGED, and you will get an error message  
the next time you try to copy video clips. You will need to power  
down the DVR and restart it to get rid of the error message. Once  
the file system of the USB-IDE hard disk drive has been corrupted,  
this error message cannot be dismissed. Even after restarting the  
DVR it may automatically restart while preparing to clip copy. You  
must recover the file system using the recovery program, or you  
must reformat the hard disk drive.  
Print Screen  
You can print images from the screen. Connect a PostScript™ printer to one of the USB  
ports. A message appears asking you if you want to print the current image.

Reviewing Video Clips  
C
Reviewing Video Clips  
You do not need to install any special software on your personal computer to review the  
video clips. The copied video clip contains the Clip Player program.  
1. If you used a USB device, disconnect either the external USB-IDE hard disk drive  
or USB flash drive from the DVR, and connect it to your PC. If you used a  
recordable CD, insert the CD in your computer’s CD drive.  
2. Double-clicking the target clip file starts the Clip Player program.  
Note  
It is suggested that the computer used for the Clip Player  
program has at least an 800MHz Pentium III. If your CPU is  
slower than this, video clips recorded at maximum speed with  
very high image quality will be played back slowly. Also DirectX  
8.0 or higher is required to run Clip Player, and a VGA card with  
16MB or more video RAM is recommended for proper operation.

Reviewing Video Clips  
3. The Clip Player Screen displays the clip images. Use the player controls to  
review the clip.  
Note  
Proper image display depends on the display settings of your  
PC. If you are experiencing display problems, click the right  
mouse button on the background screen and select Properties  
> Settings then set the Color quality to 32 bit. Then select  
Advanced > Troubleshoot and set Hardware Acceleration to  
Full. Please make sure that DirectX version 8.0 or higher has  
been installed if the display problem continues to occur. To  
check the version of DirectX, click Start > RUN and type dxdiag  
and press the enter key. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool dialog box  
will display. Then move to the Display tab and make sure  
DirectDraw Acceleration is set to Enabled. Test the DirectDraw  
by selecting the DirectDraw Test button. After changing the  
settings, update the driver version of the VGA card. If you still  
have display problems after changing all display settings as  
described above, try replacing the video card. Video cards with  
an ATI chipset are recommended.

Time Overlap  
E
Time Overlap  
If the DVR’s time and date have been reset to a time that is earlier than the existing  
recorded video, it is possible for the DVR to have more than one video stream in the  
same time range. In this case, you can search overlapping video streams individually  
by selecting a specific segment. For example, when the DVR has recorded video from  
one to five o’clock and the user changes the time backward from five to three o’clock  
and then continues recording until six o’clock, there will be two video streams and  
segments from three to five o’clock.  
You can search overlapping video streams by selecting a specific time or time range. If  
you want to search recorded video at four o’clock during the overlapping time range  
using a search menu such as Go to the Date/Time, select the segment you want to  
search.  
If you want to search recorded video from four to five o’clock during the overlapping  
time range using a search menu such as Event Log Search, Text-In Search or Motion  
Search, it is possible for the DVR to have two overlapping start and stop times. You will  
be asked to select one of the overlapping start and stop times from the search time  
ranges as follows:  
•
•
•
From four o’clock of the first segment to five o’clock of the first segment  
From four o’clock of the first segment to five o’clock of the second segment  
From four o’clock of the second segment to five o’clock of the second segment
