Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Saber DVR System. This manual will show you how to set up your DVR system and explain each function in detail.

Important Information

For optimal performance of your system, it is important to follow these recommendations.

• Divide your hard disk into two partitions at least (e.g.: C and D). The first partition is used to install Windows OS and system software, the others a r e for storing record files. Each partition should not be larger than

2.5TB.

• Please use an appropriate motherboard and display card. Contact Saber at 800-506-1482 if you have any questions.

Recommend System Environment

Chipset: Intel 875PE, 915P, 945P, 965P, Intel 3, Intel 4, Intel 5 series.

P55.

Motherboard: Intel: D915/945PCY, D865PERL, G31, P31, P35, P43, P45,

Asus: P4P800SE, P5P800 MSI: 865PE Neo2-F, 915/925/945;

Gigabit: GA-865GME, GA-945PL-G etc

Video Card: ATI Rodeon 9250 128MB, ATI Radeon 9550 128MB, ATI

X500, X550, X700, HD5000 Series, HD 6000 Series

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz or better

Memory: 2GB minimum with Windows 7, 1GB minimum with Windows XP

These are the minimum requirements to run the D V R system. If you want more camera channels, IP cameras, higher quality and faster response time, you'll need higher performance components.

Note: Intel Series 6 chipset motherboards are incompatible because they lack support for PCI cards with PCI bridge connection.

7


Chapter 1 Start up and

Main Interface

1.1 Preparation & Uninstallation

1.1.1 Preparation

Before you run Hybrid NDVR system, please check the following:

1. All connectors are firmly connected;

2. Install the DVR card drivers correctly. For detailed information, please refer to Appendix C: Driver Installation Manual;

3. Set your monitor resolution to 1024*768 pixels or higher.

To set up your DVR System in Windows 7:

1. Make sure you're logged on as an "administrator". First, single-rightclick “Computer” icon->Manage->Local Users and Groups->Users-

>Administrators->not to check “Account is disabled”.

Then, switch user or log off to log in with Administrator.

2. Adjust User Access Controls settings to "Never notify", shown in the below pictures:

8


For Windows 7 64-bit, you have to download and install two patches:

KB978637 and KB976264. You should download them from MSDNAA manually. These patches can’t be installed automatically when the system updates.

1.1.2 Uninstallation

When you want to change this version to another one, you should uninstall it. Click “Start

> All programs > Hybrid NDVR server > Uninstall Hybrid NDVR” to remove it.

9

1.2 Disk Management


After the DVR Software has been installed, Used the Disk Management application to allocate hard drive space for DVR recordings.

You can directly run the Diskmanage.exe under the installation directory.

You can also access the Disk Management application by clicking

“Start

>

All programs

>

Hybrid NDVR

>

Disk Management”

10


【Disk Drives】:Display the disk and its format.

【Total Size(M)】:Display the total size of the disk.

【Free Space(M)】:Display the total free space of the disk, which is the maximum space can be assigned for recording.

【Allotted Data Package】:Display the number of data package, which has been assigned for recording before.

【Residual Data Package】:Display the number of data package that can be assigned for recording.

【Residual Data Package】 = 【Free Space(M)】/256

【New Data Package】:Select the number of the data package that user want to create for recording.

【New Data Package】 ≤ 【Residual Data Package】

11

1.2.1 Create Package


Users can select the number of data packages for each disk in the drop-down list. Press button to create a data package and index for recording. The software will calculate the rest of the hard drive space automatically.

Note:

• Format your hard drive with Disk Management BEFORE attempting to record. Each package for recording (Recdata****.mp4) is 256MB, and it is associated with its index file (RecIndex****.inx). They must work together, or

• Recordings won't play back correctly. When footage is deleted manually, be sure to delete BOTH the .mp4 file, and it's corresponding .inx file.

• By default, the 'C' Drive and 'D' Drive are used for software installation, so Disk Management won't format them (default: 【New Data

Package】= 0) unless you select them and format them manually.

• Windows will display a warning when hard drive space is low. Disk

Management will leave 3 packages (about 256*3=768 MB) for disks

(except C and D) to avoid this. That is to say, the default value of disks

(except C and D):

 【New Data Package】 = 【Residual Data Package】-3

• It will take a lot more time to create packages that are formatted using Fat

32 instead of NTSC

• Each hard drive used for recording must be less than 2.5T, or the DVR

Software may not function properly.

12

1.2.2 Manage Package


After a data package is created, click

to delete the data package manually. After that, the hard drive space will be released, and made available for new recordings; user can assign them for recording again.

You can delete ALL recordings by clicking “Clear All Record”. You can also delete the files according to time or camera number.

11. Open Screen Keyboard

Provides an on-screen keyboard for typing. When any window listed under "Menu" is open, left-double-click to bring up the on-screen keyboard.

30

12. Motion Detection Setup

(1). Sound Alarm


Enable Sound Alarm and select a value from the dop-down list for the alarm. When sound is detected above the value you selected, an alarm will sound.

(2). Motion Link to PTZ

You can press “Link to PTZ” button to activate motion link PTZ preset function. Select Motion detection setup to set the motion detection area.

31


First, you should select the PTZ camera and set the preset. Then, you should select the detected camera, which is showed as . Next, select the detected area named Zone01 like the green frame. If you select the number is 64, the total of the zone is 64, you can detect the number of areas is

64. When the detected area motions, the PTZ camera will link to the preset you set.

(3). Motion Setup

If you don’t want to use the motion link PTZ preset function, you should press

again, then the motion detection is enable as below:

32


By default, the entire screen is set as motion detection area where is indicated with green border around the image. To mask a specific area, you can click button to cancel the full screen motion detection area; then Left-Click and drag to create a rectangle. If motion occurs inside of the rectangle, the DVR Software will start recording, sound an alarm, flash icons on an electronic map, or all three, depending on your settings. Multiple rectangles can be drawn. The sensitivity slider at the bottom of the screen sets the threshold for motion detection. If your camera is focused on a field with grass, you may want to adjust the sensitivity so that grass blowing in the wind doesn't trigger recording. You may simply want to detect when animals enter the field. Adjusting this setting will prevent your DVR from recording "unnecessary" footage.

Click button to test the sensitivity of motion detection. The sensitivity can be adjusted by dragging the slider bars below the motion detection window:

The Sensitivity value bar adjusts sensitivity to the SPEED of objects moving inside of a motion detection area. A lower value indicates HIGH sensitivity to motion speed. Higher values indicate LESS sensitivity to motion speed. For example, a motion value of 5% might detect an airplane flying slowly in the sky. A motion value of 50% might not, because the speed of the

33

Hybrid NDVR Server Manual airplane falls below it's sensitivity threshold.

The motion value bar sets sensitivity based on the size of the object moving relative to the area of the motion detection area. A setting of 5% means that an moving object has to be at least 5% the size of the motion detection area in order to trigger detection. This feature prevents small objects like birds or other small animals from triggering the system unnecessarily.

Motion sensitivity value will affect the accuracy of smart search.

I. Add Mask

Press

button to set the area to be masked (masking an area simply prevents it from being viewed live. The masked area will still be recorded, and viewable on playback). Lef-click and drag to draw a rectangle and mask off an area. Multiple rectangles can be drawn to mask multiple areas.

Press this button again to finish adding.

II. Delete Mask

Press button to delete all masked areas.

13. Open Electron Map

Click icon and then Right-Single-Click on the map. A menu will display, allowing you to add a sensor, a camera, delete all, or change map.

34


When "Auto Popup After Alarm" is checked, when a sensor is triggered, the map will appear automatically and the sensor being triggered will be marked. Left-double-click the corresponding camera on the electron map, and the camera's video will display.

15. Keyboard Shortcuts Setup

If you don’t want to use certain shortcut keys, you can disable the them here by unchecking the box next to the shortcut(s) you'd like to disable.

Note:

Please be sure to enable F12 before you display video in full screen mode.

Invariable digital rate can’t improve image quality but it is helpful for calculating disk space. Variable digital rate recording is recommended.

2.2.2 Group Setup Recording

Note:

If a camera is added to multiple groups, it will only be available to the last group it was added to.

【Selected Group】Select group number.

【Selected Cameras】Select the cameras that you'd like included in the group number in the "Selected Group" drop-down. Options include local cameras as well as IP Cameras. A camera's number changes to "red" when it has been included in the selected group.

【Pre-Event Record】Select the start time of record when there is an alarm. When the DVR is in Motion Detect mode or Sensor Detect mode, it can record video before the alarm is trigged (up to 60 seconds)

【Post Record Time】Select the end time of record when there is an alarm. When the system is in Motion Detect mode or Sensor Detect mode, it can record video after the alarm end (up to 60 seconds)

【Record Days】This section allows users to determine how long the record data of each camera should be kept in the system. The maximum duration for on-line storage is 120 days. Users can select an exact number of days, or select “auto” mode. If select “auto”, system will auto-delete the recorded data of the earliest days when there is no enough space.

Note:

When there is no enough space of HDD, system will delete the record data according to the length of saving time of each camera. E.g.: there are four cameras, the 1 st camera saves 2 days, the 2 nd camera saves 5 days, the 3 rd camera saves 10 days, and the 4 th enough space, the 4 th camera we set “auto” mode. If there is camera’s record data will save in HDD, while there are not enough space, system will delete data automatically. If the 4 th camera’s record data has been saved more than 10days, system will delete the 4 th

60

camera’s data. If the 4

Hybrid NDVR Server Manual th camera’s record data has been saved less than 10 days, but the 3 rd camera’s data is more than 10 days, system will delete the 3 rd camera’s data. So, even if you set the 3 rd camera’s record data saving 10 days,

61

Hybrid NDVR Server Manual the data that is saved less than 10 days become possible. System will delete the record data from the earliest date.
