Recording

Use the Recording menu to define the camera recording schedules, configure auto archiving and hot spare mode, and select the cameras for manual recording.

Recording schedule

Defining a recording schedule lets you specify when the recorder records video and which predefined settings are used. Each camera can be configured to have its own recording schedule.

The schedules are visually presented on a map for easy reference. See Figure 29 on page 89 for a description of the recording schedule window.

Note: If a camera is set up for continuous recording, it will still switch to event recording or alarm recording if motion, events are triggered or to alarm recording when alarms are triggered.

This can be turned off in the individual action settings for each individual alarm if needed.

See Figure 19 below for a description of the recording schedule window;

Figure 19: Description of the recording schedule window


11BChapter 12: Recording

1. Camera. Select a camera.

2. Schedule time. Represents the 24-hour cycle during which a schedule is selected.

3. Schedule map. There are seven days to select: Monday (Mon), Tuesday (Tue), Wednesday (Wed),

Thursday, (Thu), Friday (Fri), Saturday (Sat), and Sunday (Sun).

4. Edit button. Click to modify schedules and to copy schedules to other days of the week.

5. Advanced settings. Click to modify the following parameters:

 Pre Event: This is the time the camera starts recording before the event. Select the time in seconds from the list to start pre-recording before the event. Default is 5 seconds.

The maximum pre-recording times available depend on the constant bit rate. See “Maximum storage times” in the appendix.

 Post Event: This is the time the camera continues to record after the event. Select the time in seconds from the list to stop post-recording after the event. Default is 5 seconds.

 Record Audio: Enable to record sound with the images. Default is enable.

 Auto Delete (day): Select the number of days after which recorded video from the specified camera is permanently deleted from the HDD. A “day” is defined as the 24-hour period from when the auto delete mode (ADM) was set.

The maximum number of days that can be set is 365. However, the actual number of days permitted depends on the HDD capacity. If the value is set to ‘0’, the option is disabled. Default is disable.

 Redundant record/capture: When enabled, the recorder can redundantly record a copy of the videos onto multiple HDDs as a safeguard against disk failure.

6. Recording type. There are five types of recording to select, which are color-coded:

 TL-Hi (Dark green): High quality time lapse. It records high quality video.

 TL-Lo (Bright green): Low quality time lapse. It records low quality video. This could be used, for example, for night recordings when few events or alarms are expected. Saving the video in low quality helps save resources on the HDD.

 Event (Yellow): It records only events, such as motion detection and POS/ATM text insertion.

 Alarm (Red): It records only alarms.

 None (White): No recording during this period.

7. Time line. There is a 24-hour time line for each day. Up to eight recording periods can be scheduled during the 24-hour period.

Manual recording

The recorder lets you manually record video during live view. This can be useful if you know that the recorder is not currently recording and you see something of interest on a camera screen that should be recorded.

Once a manual recording is started, the recording continues until it is manually stopped. If an alarm occurs during a manual recording, the alarm recording has priority over the manual recording. If a scheduled recording is already in progress when a manual recording is started, it continues to record as scheduled.

You can check to see if a camera is recording manually by looking at the button on the live view toolbar. The button is red when manually recording. Default is off.

Altenratively, the manual recording menu shows the current state of manual recording for each camera. In this menu you can enable or disable the current manual recording for any given camera.

To start and stop manual recording:


Configuration

.

2. Check the boxes of the cameras to start or stop manual recording.

Hot spare

You can set up a spare recorder to act as a slave unit (hot spare) for up to four master recorders. This slave unit will continually monitor the master recorders and if one of the master


11BChapter 12: Recording recorders should fail, it can then take over recording until the failed recorder comes back online.

Once the failed recorder is back operating normally again, the slave recorder will send its recordings to the HDDs of the recovered master so that no recordings are missing.

The hot spare recorder can only backup one master recorder at a time. If more than one recorder should fail, the hot spare recorder will only backup the recorder that failed first.

All recorders must have the same number of channels.

Once the failed master recorder is back online, the slave unit will return to its normal monitoring state.

In order to have the failover functionality working properly, the following points must be taken into account:

• A stable network connection is required.

• There must be at least 10 Mbps of unallocated bandwidth available with the main recorder.

• This unallocated bandwidth is used for streaming the video footage from spare unit to master unit during the recovery process.

• Ideally the failover recorder must have equal storage capacity to the main recorder to accommodate for long outage times of the main recorder.

Alarm and event setup

This chapter describes the alarm and event setup menu and provides more information on the different types of alarms and connected responses. Alarms are all notifications related to either physical alarm inputs on recorders and cameras or anything that does not work as expected: device errors, network issues, and video loss.

Set up alarm inputs

The recorder can be configured to record when an alarm is triggered by an external alarm device (for example, PIR detector, dry contacts…). “A” inputs are marked A for analog and are physical inputs of the recorder. “D” inputs are marked as D for digital and are physical inputs on the IP cameras.

Install HDDs

You can install up to four HDDs in the recorder.

Caution: Do not insert or remove HDDs with the recorder powered up.

Note: This unit contains electrostatic-sensitive components. Before handling the HDDs, make sure you are properly grounded to avoid ESD damage.

To install a HDD:

1. Unpack the recorder box.

2. Unpack the recorder HDD box.

Note: HDDs for TVN 70 are delivered separately from the chassis box due to shipping weight.

3. Use the key provided in the accessories box to unlock the recorder front panel.

4. Press the latches on both sides of the front panel to open it.

5. Install the HDDs as shown below. The first drive in position number 1, the second drive in position number 2, etc. Continue to install all the hard drives in numerical order.

6. Insert a HDD into one of the HDD bays until it has fully seated into position. Repeat with the rest of the HDDs.



7. Close and re-lock the front panel.

Note: The HDDs must be installed BEFORE powering up the unit. The drives are defaulted to a single HDD group that is automatically ready to record once cameras are added and configured with recording schedules.

8. Apply the supplied label to the recorder chassis. Place it next to the original label without covering it.

Note: Failure to install the label will affect the warranty of the recorder.

9. Initialize the new HDDs, if needed. See “Initialize a HDD” on page 92.

Storage mode

To ensure an efficient use of the storage space available on HDDs, you can control an individual camera’s storage capacity using HDD quota management. This function lets you allocate different storage capacities for both recordings and snapshots to each camera.

Note: If the overwrite function is enabled, the maximum capacity for both recordings and snapshots is set to zero by default.

To set the HDD quota for a camera:


Configuration

>


>

Storage

Management

>

Storage Mode

.

2. Under the Mode option, select

Quota

.



3. Select a camera whose storage capacity you want to change and enter the values in GB for the maximum record capacity and snapshot capacities. The available quota space available is displayed on screen.

4. If you want to copy these values to other cameras, select each camera individually.

5. Click

Save


Group HDDs

Your recorder can organize multiple HDDs into groups. Videos from specified channels can be set to be recorded onto a particular HDD group. You could, for example, save the records from a couple of high priority cameras to one HDD, and save the recordings from all the other cameras to another HDD.

To set up an HDD group:


Configuration

>


>

Storage

Management

>

Storage Mode

.

2. Under

Mode

, select

Group

.

3. Under

Record on HDD Group

, select a number for the HDD group.

4. Check the channels to be added to this group.

Note:

By default, all channels belong to HDD group 1.

5. Click

Save


Dual streaming capacity

You can set up the recorder so that it records both main stream and substream. Doing so will allow you to, via the browser or TruVision Navigator, get access to the substream in both live & playback. You are also able to set the dual stream ratio. This can be useful, for example, if you have bandwidth limitations as you can then adjust the ratio to record more substream than main stream.

To set up dual streaming mode:


Configuration

>


>

Storage

Management

>

Storage Mode

.

2. Under the

Mode

option, select

Dual Streaming

.

3. Under

Capacity Ratio

, use the mouse to adjust the main stream/substream storage ratio.

By default, the ratio is 50:50.



4. Select the channels to which the dual stream set up applies.

Note: Changing the storage mode will cause the system to restart.

5. Click

Save


S.M.A.R.T. settings

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) reports on a variety of hard drive attributes. It helps ensure that the HDD is functioning properly at all times while protecting video stored on the hard drive.

Note: The recorder with RAID functionality does not support S.M.A.R.T.
