Introduction

Preface
The network disk recorders WJ-NX510K Series equipped H.265 CODEC and are designed for use within a H.265 surveillance system, and record images/audio from up to 64 network cameras (hereinafter, cameras) on the hard disk drives (HDDs). Number of cameras to be used in the system can be increased to 128 (maximum) by purchasing the Additional Camera Kit (WJ-NXE52W, WJ-NXE53W). The WJ-NX410K Series record images/audio from up to 32 cameras on the HDDs. Number of cameras can be increased to 64 (maximum) by purchasing the Additional Camera Kit (WJ-NXE42W). The optional HDDs encased in the included HDD canisters (hereinafter referred as HDD units) can easily be installed/removed in/from this recorder.This recorder can connect the extension unit WJ-HXE410 (option) up to five and support up to 54 HDDs. Hereinafter, WJ-NX510K referred to NX510, WJ-NX410K referred to NX410, and they are collectively referered to the recorder. This recorder supports connection with a monitor equipped with the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector. Connection using an HDMI cable (optional) offers display of playback/live images with superior quality. It is possible to display images from multiple cameras, switch those images and perform basic operation of the camera.

Features

High-definition image monitoring is available
Images from up to 128 cameras (NX510), up to 64 cameras (NX410) with the image capture size of 4K can be saved as video data. This recorder also supports the HDMI output to 2 monitors that can display recorded images and live images from the cameras in high definition.

Quick setup and operations
By connecting a mouse (accessory) to this recorder, quick operations are available while viewing a monitor. By using “Easy Start”, the cameras are automatically recognized and settings can be configured without operations from a PC*1. Recorded images can easily be searched using a calendar or timeline.

• A PC will be necessary for some of the camera settings and for viewing the instruction manual.

RAID function
This recorder enables the operation of RAID 1/RAID 5/RAID 6. HDD standby control function By temporarily pausing HDDs other than those that are recording or waiting for recording, set a mode not to count the operation time of a hard disk drive and extend the time it takes to replace the HDD.

• This function requires 3 or more HDDs (for single mode) or 3 or more RAID units (for RAID1,5,6 mode).

Connection of extension units
This recorder can connect the extension unit WJ-HXE410 (option) up to five units.

The copy port equipped
You can copy the images recorded on the camera with an external HDD and USB memory (sold separately). The copied images can be played, printed or saved using the dedicated viewer software.

Secure communication function
The SSL communication can be used for communication between the recorder and camera, and between the recorder and PC. Also, by registering a license of a secure communication kit (option), you can use the function to encrypt the video data itself.

MP4 download function
Recorded camera images can be copied to USB media or downloaded to a PC in MP4 format.

Third-party cameras can be connected
In addition to our cameras, third-party ONVIF® compatible cameras can be connected. Third-party cameras can also be connected via RTSP by specifying the URL.
