Notice about construction of the surveillance system using this unit  
This unit can be controlled by the external devices via RS-232C terminal or LAN terminal. This unit can also be used to  
control external devices via external terminal, RS-422/485 terminal, or RS-232C terminal. Owning to these functions,  
this unit flexibly applies to the high grade security system, but the whole surveillance system may be affected by the  
malfunction of this unit or the external devices depending on the setting contents of this unit, the connection with the  
external devices, or combination between this unit and the external devices.  
When configuring a surveillance system using this unit, it is recommended to confirm first that this unit operates  
normally with the other devices connected.  
It is recommended to copy or back up the important recorded contents.  
Damages rising out of any operational error of the surveillance system or loss of the recorded data or any other  
damages because of any user malfunction of this unit are not covered.  
Do not use the notification function of this unit for making critical judgement nor any purpose related to human lives.  
When this unit cannot recognize the external device which is being used for recording due to the power failure,  
decreased voltage, or other failures, the recording point may be moved to the internal HDD of this unit or the other  
external HDD. To prevent occurrence of such problem, it is recommended to use uninterruptible power supply.  
There may be cases when the unit's built-in motion detection function does not operate properly due to external  
condition, video input signal, or other factors.  
The user will not be indemnified for problems (e.g., recording failure or playback failure) that occur with either the unit or  
a connected device during operation. It is recommended to back up the important recordings regularly as a precaution  
against possible breakdowns and accidents.  
Recordable time and product warranty  
Continuous recordable time and the estimated time displayed on the menu screen indicate the continuous time of  
recording operation of this unit. They indicate the period neither for product warranty nor that for reliability of used parts.  
This unit uses a built-in HDD, which is a precision device. Handle this unit with sufficient care.  
Do not subject this unit to vibrations or shocks. This may cause trouble specially when the power of the unit is turned  
on or when the HDD is being accessed, and sufficient care is required.  
Do not disconnect the power plug while the power of the unit is turned on or while recording or playing.  
For early detection of faults, we recommend that you request inspection once a year.  
The HDD and cooling fan are not permanent items and will need replacing with time. When operated in an ambient  
temperature of 25 °C, it is recommended that both of the HDD and fan are replaced every 30,000 hours.  
(This figure is only a guide, and should not be taken as a guaranteed life-span of the products. Use the <Elapsed  
Operating Time> (System Menu Service Info) as a guide to perform checkups.)

this section, the common search methods, search by time  
and date and search by alarm list, are described.  
Search by Time and Date  
This item is used to search recording picture by specifying  
date, hour, minute, second, and camera number. The search  
result is displayed in still frame playback. When searching  
for 1 camera number, the search result is displayed in the  
single screen display. When searching for 2 or more camera  
numbers, it is displayed in SPLIT16 screen.

button.  
When there is no recording data of the set time, the  
picture of the closest time and date for the set camera  
number is displayed in still frame.  
When the multiple recording data of the same date and  
time are existed, execute search by time and date more  
than once until the desired picture is searched.  
Depending on the recording condition, search by time and  
date function may not operate correctly.  
When you change the display from single to split or from  
split to single during still frame playback, the recording  
picture may not be existed at that point or picture may not  
be displayed depending on the selected camera number  
or timing of displaying the still frame playback picture.

Search by Alarm List  
To clear the alarm list, erase the HDD data of which the  
alarm recording is recorded (System Menu Data Clear).  
Beware that executing it erases all the data of the HDD  
containing the picture data.  
This unit stores the start time of alarm recording and  
emergency recording in the alarm list when such recording  
begins. This item is used to search the desired picture using  
the list of alarm recording (emergency recording). The search  
result displays in still frame playback of the single screen  
display.  
Alarm list search is not performed if there are no index  
signals.  
When alarm recording (emergency recording) is started  
while displaying the <Alarm List>, you must first exit the  
<Alarm List> and then display it again. The new item is  
added to the list. In this case, you may have to specify the

“Sensor” display indicates the sensor number to which  
the alarm signal is input.  
When repeat recording setting for normal and alarm areas  
are set to “Repeat Off” and there is an alarm recording  
(emergency recording) at the end of the HDD, that  
recording may not be stored in the alarm list and that item  
may be missed.  
When the data of the camera number which is not  
corresponded to the alarm sensor number is copied to the  
external media, the alarm list of that data is not exactly  
similar to that of listed in the digital recorder.  
When the detection of the motion or the ground of the  
ALARM IN terminal occurs numerously at the same time,  
not all the start times of the alarm recording may be  
registered in the alarm list. In this case, the sensor of the  
lowest number is registered in the list.  
In the alarm list, items with the ALARM IN terminal  
grounded are indicated in orange, items that were  
detected with motion are indicated in white, items with  
the EMERGENCY terminal grounded are indicated in  
magenta, and items that were input with alarm signal via  
communication are indicated in green.

Copying the recorded data  
This item is used to copy the data from the main device to a  
copy device.  
When copying the data to DVD while “Overwrite” is set to  
“On,” the unit clears the existing data on the disc before  
overwriting with new data. Note that clearing the data  
takes about 30 to 40 minutes. You cannot cancel opera-  
tion during clearing the data of the DVD.  
Copy Data to Copy 1 Drive/Set Copy 1 Drive  
This item is used to copy the data to Copy 1 device by speci-  
fying the start and end points. The points are specified by  
the date and time or the bookmark. This function is useful for  
copying the data of the short period of time.  
When copying the data while “Copy Data” is set to “Alarm,”  
the unit performs copy operation, however, the data is not  
copied if there is no alarm recording data within the speci-  
fied range of copy. In case of CD/DVD disc, the remaining  
capacity becomes low because only the management  
information is recorded. It is recommended to carry out  
“Calculate” in <Copy Data to Copy 1 Drive> to confirm  
whether or not there is alarm recording data in the speci-  
fied range.  
Before executing the copy, make sure that the Copy 1  
device is connected and set in the <Add/Remove HDD  
Device> and <Add/Remove DVD/CD Drive> correctly.
