PRECAUTIONS  
Hard Disk Drive  
The distance between the head and disk that read and  
write data on the hard disk drive (hereinafter known as  
the HDD) is a miniscule 0.02µm. Vibrations and  
physical shocks to the HDD may therefore result in the  
head coming into contact with the disk, producing  
dents and scratches to its surface. This will  
consequently prevent data from being read, and will  
result in disk crashes if use is continued. It is therefore  
necessary to handle the recorder with great care.  
Installation and Changing the Location of  
Installation  
• Do not move the recorder or commence the  
installation process when the power is turned on  
or immediately after the power has been  
switched off (for approximately one minute)  
under any circumstances. (The HDD will  
continue to rotate due to inertia for a few  
moments after the power has been switched off,  
and vibrations or physical shocks will result in  
damage.)  
• Wrap the recorder in protecting packing to  
prevent physical shocks.  
Handling  
• Handle this equipment with care. Do not subject  
it to physical shock.  
• Do not unplug the power cord during recording  
or playback, or when the HDD is being  
accessed.  
• The hard-disk is a consumable item.  
Replacement is recommended after 10000  
hours of use (if use in a 25°C environment). For  
information on maintenance planning and costs,  
consult your nearest JVC dealer.  
If a power failure occurs during formatting of  
hard disk, disconnection, or when configuring  
or disabling mirroring, operation of the  
equipment may be disabled even if it is  
connected to the UPS.  
Please note that we will not provide  
compensation for any failure during recording  
or playback due to defects in this equipment or  
the hard disk drive.  
Please note that recorded images will be erased  
when replacing hard disks. Note that there are  
cases where recorded images may be erased  
when firmware is upgraded.

PRECAUTIONS (continued)  
The width of the borders on split screens (dark portion) may  
vary according to the type of input signal. This is a  
characteristic of this equipment and is not a defect.  
Take the necessary precautions to prevent the recorder  
from toppling over when it is stood up vertically.  
Make sure that all static electricity has been discharged  
before touching the input and output terminals during  
installation and other procedures.  
Place of storage and use  
Please avoid storing or using this DVR in the following  
places:  
• Extremely hot or cold places beyond the allowable  
temperature for operation (5°C - 40°C).  
• Humid or dry places beyond the allowable humidity  
range for operation (30 % - 80 % RH).  
• Dusty or sandy places.  
• Places exposed to oil, smoke or steam, such as the  
kitchen vicinity.  
• Vibrating or unstable places.  
Malfunctions can occur owing to static electricity, so avoid  
touching the rear panel during operations.  
• Places prone to condensation.  
The DVD drive unit is an expendable part. Although the  
service life of the DVD drive unit differs depending on the  
usage environment of the customer, replacement every 500  
or so exports (approximately 1,000 hours) as a guide is  
recommended.  
• Places that generates strong magnetic fields, e.g.,  
transformer or motor.  
• Places near devices that generate electric waves, e.g.,  
transceiver or mobile phone.  
• Places that generate radiation, X-rays or corrosive  
gases.  
Handling the unit  
• Please do not place heavy objects on the DVR, like a  
monitor or TV. Also, do not stack the VR-509E units on  
top of each other.  
• Please do not block the ventilation openings.  
• Avoid violent shocks to the unit. Do not drop the unit.

containing a copyright protection signal is not possible  
on this DVD recorder.  
Maintaining the unit (Please turn off the power  
z The usage of audio or video discs created using this  
DVD recorder either for financial gain or in broadcasting  
for widespread viewing may result in the legally-  
enforceable rights of the copyright holder being  
infringed.  
before performing maintenance work.)  
Please wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not wipe it with  
thinner or benzene lest the surface melts or becomes dull.  
For stubborn stains, wipe first with a water-diluted neutral  
detergent and then wipe dry.  
z Unless the permission of the copyright holder has been  
obtained, audio or video discs created using this DVD  
recorder are to be used for personal enjoyment only.  
Please use the supplied power cord. Using a  
different type or damaged cord may cause fire or  
electric shock.  
To save energy, be sure to turn off the system when  
not in use.  
Compensation for Damaged Content  
Do not use the power cord supplied with this equipment on  
other devices.  
JVC accepts no responsibility whatsoever for damages  
incurred as a result of an inability to play or record audio  
and video content in the rare event that this DVD  
recorder, a DVD-R, or a DVD-RW fails to operate  
correctly.  
Do not stack up the equipment to prevent temperature  
within from rising.  
This product utilizes the open source software.  
Refer to the instruction on page 81 to display the precise  
information.  
It is recommended that discs containing important  
content be backed up at regular intervals (i.e., on a  
yearly basis). Although digital signals do not deteriorate,  
storage environments can have an effect on a disc’s  
aging characteristics, and this may result in an inability to  
play or record.  
Do not insert foreign object into this unit as this may cause  
malfunction or electric shock.  
A longer time may be required to search through data  
stored in this equipment if the volume is too huge  
(approximately 10,000 or more.). This is not a defect.  
TV broadcast or other video (audio) recordings are for  
personal use only. Unauthorized use of these materials is  
strictly prohibited.  
If a disc should break, there will be no way to recover  
data from it.  
If the feet on the base of the unit are to be removed, make  
sure that screws with a length of 8mm or less are used when  
reattaching them.  
Proper playback of discs recorded using this DVD  
recorder on all devices is not guaranteed.

When TV video image signals other than those input by cameras are input, there are cases where live image display and  
REC playback will not operate normally.  
A message stating “No VIDEO IN * * Input (E-03)” will be displayed on the on-screen when a problem occurs with image  
signal input. (The number of the camera is displayed in * *). If recording is continued in this state, there is a possibility that  
accurate recording will not be possible not only with the affected camera, but also with normally operating cameras. In this  
case, either invalidate the input recording for which the problem occurred, or resolve the cause of the problem  
immediately. (See INTRODUCTION SET - 1 on page 20.)  
Make sure that the power supply to all devices is turned off before establishing the connections.  
Make sure that the input terminals to which no cameras are connected are set to “DISCONNECT” on the menu. See  
INTRODUCTION SET - 1 on page 20.)  
When a BNC connector is connected to THRU OUT, the built-in 75end terminal will become OPEN. Connect the last  
device to the end terminal at 75.  
When connecting other equipment, make sure the relevant instruction manuals are read thoroughly beforehand.

Using the Motion Detection Function  
There are two methods of performing motion detection: 1) with  
a pre-determined set of parameters, and 2) by freely setting  
detection sensitivity. It is also possible to set the area for which  
detection is to be carried out on the screen.  
Dynamic Sensitivity Level:  
The level value for detection. The higher the value,  
the higher the sensitivity (1 to 10).  
Stop Level:  
* Motion detection is not possible when operations are being  
carried out on the menu.  
The offset value for the level of operation sensitivity.  
The larger the value, the more difficult to  
discontinue alarm detection (1 to 3).  
Motion Detection with Pre-Determined  
Sensitivity  
Target Area Level:  
The value for the size of the subject to be detected.  
Select either [STANDARD] or the scene name as the [MOTION  
DETECTION] setting on the [OPERATION SET] screen to  
perform motion detection with a pre-determined set of  
parameters. The parameters for the scene name are shown in  
the table below.  
The higher the value, the more difficult it is to detect  
small motions (1 to 10).  
The relationship between the target area level and the  
detection area count is shown in the table below.

DEFRAG DATABASE  
Initializing the Hard Disk (“FORMAT”)  
When alarm recording is performed repeatedly with Repeat  
Recording set to “ALL” or “ALARM LOCK”, data in the hard disk  
may become fragmented. Continued use of such data may  
cause files to split up and be recorded into free space, thereby  
giving rise to fragmentation or decay of data, which  
Recording may fail if there is insufficient space on the hard disk.  
When there is insufficient hard disk space, create a backup  
data and format the disk to create space for the recorded data.  
You are also recommended to “FORMAT” (Initialize) the hard  
disk on a regular basis to avoid data fragmentation.  
subsequently slows down the speed dramatically during hard  
disk searches. This is where the “DEFRAG DATABASE”  
feature comes into play in the maintenance of the hard disk.  
1. Press the [MENU] button.  
• Opens the menus in accordance with the instructions  
provided in Changing MENU Settings (page 17) in the  
sequence of “MENU” “DETAIL OPERATION” →  
“MAINTENANCE” “FORMAT”.

CAUTION  
If the time for automatic execution is reached during  
recording, the recording procedure will be aborted and  
the database will be defragged. When the defragging  
process is complete, recording will be restarted  
automatically.  
Precautions When Initializing the Hard Disk  
As the hard disk capacity displayed on the screen is  
3
calculated as 1GB = (1024) bytes, a lower capacity than  
actually exists will be displayed.  
The defrag procedure should be run when searches  
take excessive amounts of time.  
All recorded events will be erased when the formatting  
procedure is executed. Make sure that all important events  
are backed up accordingly.  
When the date and time of automatic execution arrives  
during alarm recording, the recording process will be  
ended and the defrag process executed. Alarm  
recording will not be restarted when the defrag process  
has ended (although it can receive new alarms.)  
The manual defrag process cannot be executed when  
in the following operation modes:  
CAUTION  
The hard disk cannot be initialized when in the following  
operation modes:  
During recording.  
During the playback of recorded images.  
When the timer is ON.  
• During recording.  
• During the playback of recorded images.  
• When the timer is ON.

The periods specified during the export process will be  
sorted by title. A maximum of 99 titles can be created.  
The chapters included in each title will be created for each  
recording type. A maximum of 99 chapters can be created  
for each title (although the chapters will not be divided if  
there are internal links for alarm files.)  
Malfunctions on the hard disk may result in the DVD export  
function not being able to be used.  
When data that is less than a total of 1GB is to be exported  
onto a DVD-R, it will be expanded to approximately 1GB of  
data and exported accordingly, depending on the rating for  
the DVD-R. This will consequently result in additional time  
required for the process to be completed.  
Additionally, the chapters will be divided automatically in  
files of up to six hours in accordance with the recorded  
file’s information (recording rate and recording time.)  
Serial numbers, channels, the starting time and ending  
time of recordings, and the recording mode will be  
appended to the title of DVD recording.  
There are cases where the “CHAPTER OVER” error  
message will be displayed if the [FRAME RATE] parameter  
is set at [AUTO] during alarm according when the alarm  
recording is exported to the DVD. This is caused by the  
VR-509E’s DVD conversion specifications (*1), so when  
this occurs it is necessary to reduce the amount of periods  
that are to be exported to the DVD, and then execute the  
[CHECK] or [EXPORT] functions once again.  
*1: As the VR-509E exports data for which the frame rate  
has been converted as different alarm recorded data  
when frame rates are changed in accordance with the  
[AUTO] setting for a single alarm recording, the number  
of alarms that are exported exceeds the actual number  
of alarms.  
The playback mode is the title loop.  
There are cases where the starting times of chapters within  
titles are a maximum ten seconds prior to the specified  
starting times.

Using Other External Devices  
External Hard Disk Drives  
Connecting a UPS  
The VR-509 allows connection of one external hard disk drives  
in addition to the 2 built-in hard disks. Follow the procedure  
below to alter the connection setup of the hard disk. There are  
3 ways of altering connection setup, namely “NEW”,  
“CHANGE” and “DISCONNECT”.  
UPS: Uninterruptible Power Supply  
Connecting a UPS to the hard disk will protect it from damage  
by automatically powering down all operations prior to  
switching off the power supply.  
1. Connection  
1. Switch off the power.  
• Connect the UPS communication cable to the [SERIAL]  
port on the front or rear panel.  
• Switch off the power to the VR-509 by observing the  
instructions provided in the section on “Switching Off the  
Power” in Switching the Power ON/OFF. (Page 16)  
• External hard disks will not respond to any operations  
when the VR-509 is in the OPERATION OFF mode.  
Disconnect the power cable and then reboot the system.  
• Connect the VR-509 power cord to the UPS power  
output connector.  
2. Switching on the power  
• Switch on the power to the UPS.  
• Switch on the power to the VR-509.  
2. Connect the external hard disk to the [SERIAL] port on  
the front or on the back panel and then plug in the  
power cable.  
* Make sure the UPS communication cable is connected  
before switching on the power to the VR-509.  
* Do not disconnect the communication cable when  
operations are being carried out.  
• Make sure the power to the external hard disk is switched  
on before switching on the power to the VR-509.  
Note that it is necessary to switch on the power to the  
external hard disk that was first connected, otherwise  
additional hard disks will not be recognized.  
* Consult with your nearest JVC dealer for details on the  
UPS that can be used.  
USB Hub  
3. Switch on VR-509.  
A USB hub is required when a UPS and an external hard  
disk are to be used simultaneously.  
• The HDD reconfiguration confirmation screen will be  
displayed.  
Make sure that the USB hub supports USB 2.0.  
Depending on the USB hub in use, there is a chance that  
USB 1.1 will be operated in the event of both USB 2.0 and  
USB 1.1 equipment being connected. It is recommended  
that this type of USB hub is avoided.  
4. Select [EXEC], and then press the [SET] button.  
• The HDD reconfiguration confirmation screen will be  
displayed.  
5. Select [EXEC] and then press the [SET] button once  
again.  
• The external hard disk will be formatted.  
• The FORMATTING SUCCESSFUL screen will be  
displayed when the process has been completed. The  
system will then automatically return to normal  
operations.  
• The disconnection process will be performed instead of  
the formatting process if it is disconnected.  
* It is impossible to disconnect an external hard disk from  
the VR-509 and connect it to a personal computer in order  
to view the images.  
* Consult with your nearest JVC dealer for details on the  
external hard disks that can be used.  
* It is recommended that a UPS is used to ensure system  
safety.

Explanations  
Web Browser Glossary  
Domain name  
Host Name  
The network name to which the network-connected PC belongs.  
Name of PC (or VR-509) on the network.  
The name of the PC connected to the network is managed by a database called DNS (Domain  
Name System). DNS links the IP address assigned to each PC with the domain names, and  
enables a user to specify a PC to access.  
IP Address  
An identification number assigned to each PC connected to the network. This is used for  
communication between network devices.  
There are 2 types of IP address, namely Global IP Address and Local IP Address (Private IP  
Address).  
IP Address  
Host Name  
.vr509  
Domain Name  
jvc-victor.co.jp  
192.168.0.10  
Convert  
IP addresses assigned by the PC are converted by the DNS server into host names and domain  
names.  
Global IP Address  
Local IP Address  
Just as separate IP addresses are required on a network, this is also required for all PCs that are  
connected to the Internet throughout the world. These IP addresses are known as Global IP  
Addresses, and are usually assigned by the Internet service provider.  
Separate IP addresses can be used freely within networks that are not connected to the Internet  
(eg. within a family or company). These are known as Local IP Addresses.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host  
Control Protocol)  
This is a method that automatically assigns IP addresses on the network.  
The DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to a PC when it is connected to the  
network.  
Subnet mask  
A mechanism that manages a network by segmenting it into multiple virtual networks (subnets).  
Subnet mask is a 32-bit value that is used to define how many bits are to be used within the IP  
address for identifying the subnet.  
LAN  
A network that is built within a comparatively confined area such as within a building, company or  
office.  
(Local Area Network)  
Default Gateway  
Hardware and software that are used mutually for the translation of different protocols during  
communication of a PC with one that does not belong to the same network. In Windows, setting  
of a default gateway is required when setting the IP address.  
Protocol  
TCP/IP  
A set of rules used for communication of PCs or devices via the network.  
Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is one of the protocols  
used by the network.  
Login  
Refers to the commencement of use upon connection of a PC terminal to an online database or  
server.  
Peer-to-Peer  
NTP  
A small-scale network that connects PCs on a peer level (1-to-1).  
A system that automatically synchronizes the system clocks of equipment connected to the  
network.  
The NTP Server function is built into WindowsXP, Windows 2000 as a standard feature. (Page 107)  
The NTP server can also be accessed and used via the Internet.

Prealarm Recording  
Prealarm Recording is a feature that works hand-in-hand with  
Alarm Recording that starts recording automatically by tracing  
back to the time prior to the input of alarm signals.  
Notes On Prealarm Rec  
When alarm recordings that have pre-alarms have been  
selected, the display will jump to the starting position of the  
pre-alarm recordings during the alarm search.

Notes Related to Summer Time  
The VR-509 makes use of Time Zone to perform automatic  
switching for Summer Time and Winter Time.  
* The starting/ending time of Summer Time may differ from the  
actual time in your local area.  
4. Playback  
1) Playback using the main unit  
When playing back recordings that straddle the Summer  
and Winter Time, the playback time (date/time displayed  
on the OSD) of this portion may differ from the actual  
time.  
1. Changing the Time Zone  
After changing the Time Zone during operations, make sure  
to format all the hard disks. If the hard disk is not formatted  
after changing the Time Zone, the following problems will  
arise.  
• During playback on the main unit or a web browser, the  
time display will be different from the actual recorded  
time.  
2) Playback using the web browser  
When playing back recordings that straddle Summer  
and Winter Time, the ending time and the clock counter  
displayed may differ from the actual time.  
• The Alarm List will be different from the actual recorded  
time.  
• The list for the DVD-R/RW copy will be different from the  
actual recorded time.  
5. Timer Programming  
When the time changes from Summer to Winter or vice  
versa during TIMER REC, the recording will be divided and  
recorded as a different event at the changing point. In  
addition, a few seconds will not be recorded at the changing  
point.  
2. Changing the time  
The Summer Time time change will be performed  
On the day when switching from Summer time to Winter  
time, there is a duplicated period where the same time will  
be reached twice.  
automatically according to the setting value of the selected  
area in “TIME ZONE” setting. On the day when switching  
from Summer time to Winter time, there is a duplicated period  
where the same time will be reached twice. During this  
period, do not amend the date/time setting (Menu/RS-232C/  
Front Display) and clock reset (rear terminal/Front Panel).  
Do not set the starting/ending time within the duplicated  
period on the day when switching from summer time to  
winter time.  
3. Searching  
6. DVD-R/RW COPY  
For the Alarm List of the duplicated period of Summer/  
Winter Time, the data will be displayed in the order the  
actual recording time starts.  
1) Selecting the data list of the DVD-R/RW  
• The specified starting time search of the Summer/Winter  
duplicated period will be searched as Winter Time.  
• For the data list of the DVD-R/RW of Summer/Winter  
duplicated period, the data will be displayed in the order  
of the actual recording start time.  
On the day when switching from Winter time to Summer  
time, there are certain times that do not exist. Do not  
perform “SEARCH DATE” for these times.  
When searching for images recorded during the duplicated  
period on the day when switching from Summer time to  
Winter time, two images with the same time will exist. The  
operation of the various searches is shown below.  
1) “SEARCH DATE” in the “EVENT SEARCH” menu on  
the main unit  
• On the day when switching from Winter Time to Summer  
Time, there are certain times that do not exist. Do not  
perform specified starting time search for these times.  
2) Cutting of the DVD-R/RW record  
• The starting/ending time of the data crossing the  
Summer and Winter cannot be changed. When copying,  
the original starting/ending time will be copied.  
It will search for Winter Time. When searching for the  
“Summer Time” of the duplicated period, search using  
the jog/shuttle dial or [SKIP] buttons after performing  
“SEARCH DATE”.  
7. PC environment settings  
2) “ALARM LIST SEARCH” in the “EVENT SEARCH”  
menu on the main unit  
When searching or playing back from the web browser, set  
the PC TIME ZONE setting to the same as the VR-509  
“TIME ZONE” setting.  
It will search for Winter Time. When searching for the  
“Summer Time” of the duplicated period, search using  
the jog dial or [SKIP] buttons.  
8. The alarm list for mail notification  
3) Search using the web browser  
It will search for Winter Time. When searching for the  
“Summer Time” of the duplicated period, specify the  
starting time at an earlier period before the duplicated  
period to search.  
• For the message content of the mail notification, the local  
time will be recorded.  
• When duplicated times are recorded due to Summer  
Time, to differentiate the message recorded in Summer  
Time or Winter Time, check the time sent stated on the  
mail header.
