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 occurence of such problem, it is recommended to use uninterruptible power supply.
If the power plug is disconnected or the breaker switch is turned off during recording, HDD may be damaged or
playback of recorded data may become impossible.
•
If the breaker switch is turned on and off everyday, set the timer recording to be performed only for the period that the
breaker is on and do not turn off the breaker during recording.
•
It is recommended to check periodically that recording is perfomed successfully by playing back the recorded data.
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

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.

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

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.

Searching the desired picture (continued)
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 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

When using “Start” or “Start/End” and executing copy
without calculating the capacity of data to be copied, the
progress or the time of the copy may not be displayed
correctly because the unit cannot determine the capacity
of data to be copied.
In the case of copying to a USB memory or HDD, when
the amount of data to be copied is larger than the availa-
ble free space on the copy destination media, the estimat-
ed copy data volume indicates the remaining capacity of
the copy destination media. It is recommended to check

tion during clearing the data of the DVD.
Copy Data to Copy 2 Drive/Set Copy 2 Drive
Copy 2 is a backup or archive feature. This item is used to
copy the data to Copy 2 device by specifying only the start
point. The point is specified by the date and time or the book-
mark. The copy continues until the end point of the recording
data reaches or the media to be copied becomes full unless
the copy is stopped manually (when “FIFO Overwrite” is set
to “Off”). This function is useful for making backup of the re-
cording data.
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.
Before executing the copy, make sure that the Copy 2
device is connected and set in the <Add/Remove HDD
