Connection example for emergency recording

When the external switch is turned on, emergency recording will start.
Recording time and recording rate for emergency recording differ according to the settings of “Emergency rec.” on the setup menu. (Refer to the Operating Instructions.)

Connection example 1 for the auto adjustment time function

When “Auto time adjustment” found in “Date & time settings” under “Date/Language” on the setup menu is set to “Master”.
“Time adjustment output” becomes available and the clock of this recorder will be applied to other devices.
The time adjust output signal will be supplied from B3 terminal to other recorders at the time set for “Activation time” of “Time & date” under “Basic” on the setup menu.

Connection example 2 for the auto adjustment time function
When “Auto time adjustment” found in “Date & time settings” under “Date/Language” on the setup menu is set to “Slave”.
When a signal output from the other device is supplied to the time adjustment I/O (B3 terminal) and the time difference between the recorder and the other device is 29 minutes or less, the clock of the recorder will be set to the time set for the other device.
When a signal output is supplied to the recorder 29 minutes before/after the hour, the clock of the recorder will be set to the hour (nn:00:00). (“nn” is the hour.)

Example:

• Signal is supplied at 2:50:00 pm → Set at 3:00:00 pm
• Signal input supplied at 3:28:45 pm → Set at 3:00:00 pm
• Signal is supplied at 3:29:30 pm → Time will not be adjusted.

Important:

• When “Slave” is selected, the clock will not be adjusted during event recording or emergency recording.

Connection example of control output
When an alarm device such as a buzzer or a lamp is connected, the signal output from terminal B4~B7 can be used to notify the status by sounding a buzzer or lighting a lamp.
The following example is of a connection with the HDD error output /Recording error output (B6 terminal).

ALARM/CONTROL connector A

1. Loosen the screw of the desired terminal on the terminal plug.
2. Tight the screw when the cable is fully inserted into the terminal hole.

Contact your dealer for initializing.

Step 3
If the license for the recorder has not been registered yet, the message asking you to register the “Registration Key” will be displayed after the completion of the system check and the administrator registration.

If the “Registration Key” for the recorder has not been registered yet, register the “Registration Key” by following the procedures on page 27.

Note:

• If the “Registration Key” for the recorder is once registered, the message asking you to register the “Registration Key” will not be displayed from the next time.

When turn off the power of the recorder

Follow the procedure below to turn off the power.

Step 1
During recording, set “Recording mode” on [Advanced setup] tab under “REC & event” under [Basic Setup] from Setup menu to “Off” to stop all recordings. (☞ Operating Instructions (PDF))

Step 2
Unplug the power plug from the power outlet after confirming that the [REC] indicator is off.

Note:

• To use the existing IP address of the connected cameras, refer to “Detect cameras for registration [Detect cameras]” (☞ Operating Instructions (PDF)) instead of “Easy Start”.

• Before the settings, register the cameras into the network.
  Only the cameras added by license registration will be detected even though more cameras than the registered license number are connected.
  It is recommended to disconnect unnecessary cameras.

• Cameras shall be connected to the Camera/PC port.
  Cameras will not be detected if they are connected to the PC port.

Step 5
Register the cameras connected to the recorder

[New] button
Usually use it with no camera registered in the recorder.

The models and results of the detected cameras will be displayed.
Make sure that the model numbers of all the connected cameras are being displayed.

[Addition] button
Usually use it when there are added or replaced cameras during operation.
Detects only the added or replaced cameras.
The models and results of the detected cameras will be displayed.
Make sure that the model numbers of all the added or replaced cameras are being displayed.

Important:

• When there are cameras in use, the system can overwrite the registered information and assign new IP addresses to all connected cameras (including cameras currently in use) by clicking the [New] button.
• Cameras newly added after the operation start will be registered in the default settings. To conform the settings to those of the registered cameras, perform the settings for the added cameras.

Step 7
Click the [Next] button.
IP address will be given to the cameras newly connected, replaced or added, and the images from the camera will be displayed on the operational screen.

Note:

• On “Easy Start”, it is impossible to register the camera in a different network via the same router.

• For the security enhancement, changing of the IP address of the camera will become impossible when 20 minutes have passed after the power is turned on.
  Perform the camera detection within 20 minutes, or turn off the power of the camera and turn it on again if more than 20 minutes has passed. Refer to the operating instructions of the camera for further information.
  When 20 minutes have passed after the power of the camera is turned on, “ONVIF” may be detected depending on the models of our cameras. In such a case, turn off the power of the camera and turn if on again to perform the camera detection.

• When “On” is selected for the “DHCP” setting of the detected cameras, the recorder will forcibly change the setting to “Off” to give the IP addresses automatically.

• When the [Cancel] button is clicked, the top screen of “Easy Start” (the menu to set the date & time) without applying the camera detection result will be displayed.

Step 8
When you wish to change the registered camera numbers,it is possible to change the order of the camera numbers.
