Restrictions when operating MPEG-4 images
There are following restrictions when "MPEG-4" is selected for the image compression method on the setup menu. ("NW camera" under "Camera")
1.
When displaying live images
(1) Black screen may be displayed for the first few seconds (*) when the following operations are performed while displaying live images.
⋅ When MPEG-4 live images are displayed (by switching camera channel, etc.)
⋅ When MPEG-4 image is enlarged (or when enlarged
MPEG-4 image is resized to the original size)
(2) It may take several seconds (*) for refresh interval of MPEG-4 image when displaying images on a 4-screen.
Example: When "3 seconds" is selected for the refresh interval on the camera, MPEG-4 image will be refreshed in 3 seconds intervals.
2. When displaying images sequentially
When "MPEG-4" is selected for the image compression method of the camera selected for a camera channel on the setup menu, the respective sequence step will be skipped.
3. When playing recorded images
(1) Displayed playback time may be fast for several seconds (*) when the following operations are performed while playing recorded images
⋅ When MPEG-4 recorded images are played (by changing camera channel, etc.)
⋅ When MPEG-4 image is enlarged (or when enlarged
MPEG-4 image is resized to the original size)
(When operating to zoom in/out a paused MPEG-4 recorded image, image of several seconds later than the displayed image may be enlarged.)
⋅ When the [PLAY] button is clicked again while playing
MPEG-4 image
⋅ When the first frame is displayed by clicking the [NEXT
IMAGE] button during pausing
(2) Playback may be performed in several seconds intervals (*) when the following operations are performed while playing
MPEG-4 image. Refer to the Operating Instructions (PDF file) for further information.
⋅ Reverse playback ([REV PLAY])
⋅ Fast playback/fast reverse playback ([FF] / [REW])
⋅ Reverse frame playback ([PREV IMAGE])
Example: When "3 seconds" is selected for the refresh interval on the camera, MPEG-4 image will be played in 3 seconds intervals.
(3) When two records are played sequentially, the last few frames of the former record and the first few frames of the next record may be displayed overlapped.
(4) When playing MPEG-4 image by designating time and date, playback may start from a point several seconds before or after the designated time and date or from the first frame of the next record.
4. When recording images
(1) Time and date displayed on the recording event list (actual start time of recordings) may not exactly indicate the actual time of recording trigger (event occurrence time, start time of the schedule recording, etc.), and also the recording duration may be shortened for seconds worth two times of the refresh interval set on the camera.
Example: When the set recording duration and the set refresh interval of the camera are 10 seconds and
1 second respectively
10 - (1 x 2) = 8 (sec)
The minimum actual recording duration is 8 seconds.
(2) When pre-event recording is set to be performed, pre-event recording duration may be longer than the set duration.
Example: Depending on the size of the image data, prerecording duration may be around 10 seconds even when setting 5 seconds for the pre-event recording duration.
5. When copying images
Copying may start from a point several seconds (*) later than the designated start time when copying MPEG-4 images. To copy the desired images for sure, designate start time several seconds earlier than the time when the desired images are recorded, and set time range for copying longer than the refresh interval set on the camera.
6. When downloading recorded images
Download of recorded images may start from a point several seconds (*) earlier than the designated start time. Set time range for download longer than the refresh interval set on the camera.
7. When transmitting images recorded at an event occurrence to the FTP server
Duration of images to be transmitted to the FTP server, which are recorded at an event occurrence, may not be exactly the same as the duration set for "Duration-Pre" and "Duration-Post". Set
"Duration-Pre" and "Duration-Post" longer than the refresh interval set on the camera.
8. Other
MPEG-4 images will not be attached to alarm mails.
Even when images are to be transmitted to the FTP server periodically, MPEG-4 images will not be transmitted.
* Time (seconds) differs depending on the refresh interval set on the camera (0.2 - 5 seconds). To shorten time lag, set the refresh interval on the camera shorter. Refer to the operating instructions of the camera for how to configure the refresh interval.

Use the Camera auto-registration item to specify whether to assign an IP address to the detected camera.
[Register the IP address automatically given by this unit to a detected camera]
[Register the IP address set with a detected camera]
Note:
• After executing [Register the IP address automatically given by this unit to a detected camera], the recorder will automatically detect blank IP addresses for setting, but depending on the network environment, the IP address may be already used for the other network device (when the Windows XP firewall function is being used, for example). If the same IP address is used by another device, check the IP address setting and change it manually.
• When [Register the IP address automatically given by this unit to a detected camera] is executed and [On] is selected for the
DHCP setting of the detected camera, the recorder will change the DHCP setting to [Off] and provide an IP address automatically.
• Only when the DHCP setting of the recorder is [Off] are IP addresses automatically provided.
• In the case of IP auto addressing, set the subnet mask of the network port to 255.255.255.0.
• When automatically assigning IP addresses, make sure the
octets of the port selected in step 2 match the gateway.
Depending on the camera, IP addresses cannot be assigned if it is not set.
• Registering an IP address to a camera automatically sets the camera's HTTP port number to 80. Also, the camera's subnet mask and default gateway are set to the same values as the recorder's network port subnet mask and default gateway.
A "Camera Registration Result" window will appear after registration is complete.

Emergency recording
About the [Measurement] button
By clicking the [Measurement] button, you can check that the specified rates provide proper operation on the network. A red rate setting value indicates that live images or recording of the image may not be possible at the specified rate.
Measurement takes about 90 seconds.
• When measurement results (total of all camera maximum speeds) are greater than the recorder network speed, heavy network traffic may cause dropping of recorded images, live images, alarms, and other data, degraded operational response, restarts, and other problems. (Guideline network speed: 128
Mbps)
• Even when measurement results do not exceed the above guideline network speed, the number of connected cameras and
PCs can cause some of the phenomena described above.
Important:
• Network traffic volume fluctuates depending on the network environment. Set a rate based on measurement results to ensure enough margin for maximum network speed.
• Recording, playback, live video, a copying are all disabled while measurement is in progress.
Note:
• Other users connected to the recorder are logged out automatically during measurement. They are logged back in after measurement is complete.
• Measurement results are for reference only. They are subject to change in accordance with the network environment.
• The target for measurement is the value after clicking [Set].
• Since the recorder uses a network, network traffic and other factors can make it impossible to obtain live video and recorded images as expected from the setup, slow browser response, or disconnection. Also, recording may not be possible when the recorder is in use or malfunctioning. We are not liable for lost content.
Note:
• When the recording rate for SD memory recording is set, be sure to set to use recording to the SD memory card in the camera. When the camera is set to not use SD memory cards, or when an SD memory card is not inserted in the camera (or inserted incorrectly), an error message appears several times a day and recording is not done.
Acquiring images saved on the SD memory card
The images are acquired from the SD memory card and recorded on the HDD.
You can confirm when data is being acquired from the SD memory in the "Status display area".
SD memory acquisition is described below.
• 15 minutes past each hour (0:15, 1:15, ...23:15)
Important:
• When communication with the camera is discontinued during emergency recording, the recording rate set for SD memory recording is used.
• SD memory recording cannot be done when the network communication between the camera and the recorder is disconnected, and the alarm is entered to the recorder or it reached start time of the scheduled recording time starts.
• Do not set SD memory recording rates on multiple network disk recorders for the same camera.
• The time recorded on the acquired SD memory data is the time set on the camera. The NTP function can be used to synchronize the time on the camera and the recorder. You may not be able to back up SD memory if the time is not synchronized.
• If the recording conditions for multiple cameras are changed and emergency recording is done, recording may be delayed for up to six seconds when 64 cameras are recording at the same time.
About SD memory recording
SD memory recording is a camera function that saves images to the camera's internal SD memory when communication with the camera is not possible within the programmed recording time set on the recorder.
Recording rate setting
SD memory recording can only be set if the camera supports SD memory recording and the compression format is set to [M-JPEG].
The recording rate can be set for each camera channel. (page 42)
The start time of SD memory recording depends on the recording rate setting.
Set the SD memory recording rate to a smaller setting than the emergency recording rate.
Note:
• Depending on the schedule's time table and the amount of images, it may not be possible to acquire them all automatically at one time. The images that cannot be acquired may be acquired at the next acquisition.
• Image acquisition is not done in the following situations.
During playback, HTTP download, emergency recording, and external recording
• SD memory data acquisition is interrupted if the following operations occur.

Important:
• Recording at the set recording rate and for the set recording time may not be possible depending on the network environment or the size of image data.
• When a pre-event recording area has not been assigned to the HDD, the maximum pre-event recording time with audio on is 30 seconds.
• We recommend setting the camera's refresh cycle to one second if the camera's compression format is MPEG-4. If the camera's refresh cycle is too long, pre-event recording data may not be created.
• Recording for the set Post-event recording time may not be possible depending on the timing of the event occurrence.
• When "Audio" and "Audio rec." are set to [On], ensure that the audio mode of the camera is set to [On]. Also, set the cameras audio bit rate to "32 kbps".
• When the camera's audio bit rate is set again during operation, set the audio recording settings on the recorder to [Off] and then back to
[On] again.
• Audio interruptions may occur because of the "Mic input interval" (intervals for audio reception) setting of the camera. Select the interval setting of the camera according to the network environment.
• Audio interruptions may occur because of the recording rate. To resolve this, change the recording rate according to the network environment.
• To record audio, set the camera's "Audio transmission/reception" to "Mic input" or "Interactive(full duplex)". Some models and versions of cameras do not support "Interactive(full duplex)". For details refer to the operating instructions for the camera.
• Audio is recorded regardless of whether single or multiple screen display is set.
Note:
• In the case of an MPEG-4 image, set a recording time of at least 10 seconds.
• Refer to the following table as a guideline when setting the times in pre-event recording.

About the [Measurement] button
Clicking the [Measurement] button displays a window that you can use to confirm that the specified rates provide proper operation on the network being used. A red rate setting value indicates that live images or recording of the image may not be possible at the specified rate.
Measurement takes about 90 seconds.
• When measurement results (total of all camera maximum speeds) are greater than the recorder network speed, heavy network traffic can cause dropping of recorded images, live images, alarms, and other data, degraded operational response, restarts, and other problems. (Guideline network speed: 128
Mbps)
• Even when measurement results do not exceed the above guideline network speed, the number of connected cameras and
PCs can cause some of the phenomena described above.
Important:
• Network traffic volume fluctuates depending on the network environment. Set a rate based on measurement results to ensure enough margin for maximum network speed.
• Recording, playback, live video, a copying are all disabled while measurement is in progress.
Note:
• Other users connected to the recorder are logged out automatically during measurement. They are logged back in after measurement is complete.
• Measurement results are for reference only. They are subject to change in accordance with the network environment.
• The target for measurement is the value after clicking [Set].
• Since the recorder uses a network, network traffic and other factors can make it impossible to obtain live video and recorded images as expected from the setup, slow browser response, or broken connections. Also, recording may not be possible when the recorder is in use or malfunctioning. We are not liable for lost content.

About externally controlled recording
Connecting an external switch to the recorder makes it possible control recording in accordance with external switch On/Off operations. In order to perform externally controlled recording, you will need to configure a recording program with schedule indicating when the external switch is to be used.
For information about external switch connection, refer to the
Installation Guide.
The following is the priority sequence used when the individual day, daily, and external recording schedules overlap.
[Ext.] > "[Mon] through [Sun] (day of week)" > [Daily]
Important:
• Recording is not performed when input is received from an external switch during a time for which there is no recording program allocated. Be sure to allow enough margin when allocating externally controlled recording times.

Formatting disks
When necessary, format HDDs when using them for the first time after replacing or adding HDDs, or when connecting an extension unit. HDDs can be formatted as a group or individually (select units when running RAID5 or RAID6).
You must also divide the HDD into the normal recording area, event recording area, copy area and the play recording area.
When an HDD is formatted, all the data on it is destroyed.
Format
Use the following procedure to allocate an event recording area and copy area to an HDD, and to re-format an HDD.
• Unformatted HDDs in the recorder and internal HDDs when shipped are automatically formatted as Normal recording areas when recognized.
• Formatting one HDD takes about 30 seconds.

Pre-event recording area formatting
Use the following procedure to format a pre-event recording area. Pre-event recording area space can be allocated for each camera channel.
• Formatting the pre-event recording area may take around 10 minutes depending on the number of cameras.
Important:
• When the "Config" page is displayed, all operations (recording, playback, etc.) except disc configuration stop.
• Displaying the config window forcibly logs out any other users currently logged in to the main unit. Also installing or removing HDD or HDD units from the front panel forcibly logs out any other users logged in to the main unit.
• To exit the disk config window, click the [Main] button. Clicking the [x] button in the upper right corner of the window may cause operation troubles.
• Before formatting the pre-event recording area, set the camera channels for pre-event recording area as follows.
⋅ Set the Model/Compression, address, user name, and password on [NW camera].
⋅ Set the pre-event recording rate and pre-event recording time on [Program]
After finishing the settings, connect a camera and make sure an image is displayed.
You may not be able to record data at the time you want if you connect a camera that is not set and format the pre-event recording while an image is not displayed.
• Pre-event recording formatting cannot be done during RAID5/RAID6 operation with just the recorder.
You need to connect an extension unit to set up pre-event recording in a RAID configuration.

Glossary
Words used in the manual
This manual uses the following words.
ActiveX Control
A software module developed by Microsoft. It is used to add functions, downloaded from a web server via the Internet or an
Intranet, to Internet Explorer. The recorder uses it to display video.
Bit rate
Indicates how many bits of data can be processed or transmitted in a unit of time. Generally, the units are in bps, or bits per second. Used to indicate the compression rate of video and audio data, and how much data a communications line can send and receive in 1 second.
Broadband Router
Router used to access the Internet via high-speed ADSL or fiber optic lines.
Cable Modem
Device used for connecting to the Internet via a CATV line. Called a cable modem because it functions similar to a modem on a phone line. It differs from regular modems that use a serial port in that it is connected to a PC via an Ethernet connection.
Camera operation
Operations of the camera connected to the recorder such as pan and tilt (horizontal and vertical position), zooming, focusing, brightness, preset motions (movement towards a set horizontal and vertical position) and auto functions (automatic camera rotation, etc.).
DDNS
A technology for dynamically translating DNS server information to enable the transfer of only differences in information between DNS servers (refer to "DNS"). This reduces the data transfer amount necessary for updating information on the DNS server and reduces the load on the network.
DHCP
A protocol that enables PCs to automatically get information from a server needed for accessing a network.
DHCP Server
Maintains network-related information (assigns IP address ranges to
(default) gateway servers and clients), and distributes that information when clients request it.
DNS
The long lists of numbers or IP addresses that are used in network environments are difficult to remember, which makes them impractical. This is why PCs are given an easy-to-follow name
(domain name) which is converted to an IP address before they are communicated with. The DNS provides translation between domain names and IP addresses.
Default Gateway
Network device used as a gateway for networks, such as a local network, to access PCs on an external network. Data is sent using the default gateway if a gateway is not specified in the destination IP address.
Disk Configuration
Configure the HDD after replacing, removing, or adding a HDD. Disk
Configuration is the menu for configuring the HDD.
Electronic Zoom
Enlarges live images and playback images during playback. The electronic zoom enlarges the images by the recorder and is separate from the zoom function included as part of the camera operations for enlarged images.
Emergency Recording
Gives priority to recording video and audio when an emergency occurs using the external switch connected to the recorder.
Ethernet
LAN communication developed by Xerox.
Event
Indicates an occurrence that causes the recorder to take an event action. Events include, terminal alarms, command alarms, and site alarms.
Event recording
Function that automatically starts video and audio recording when an event occurs. Event recording includes Pre-event recording that records images before the event and Post-event recording that records images after the event.
External Recording Mode
Use the external switch connected to the recorder to switch to time tables such as the recording settings and event action settings.
FTP
A protocol that is commonly used for transferring files over the
Internet.
Firewall
A type of security used when accessing outside networks like the
Internet.
Full Duplex
Communications method that allows simultaneous sending and receiving by transmitting in both directions using an independent sending line and receiving line.
Global Address
IP address assigned to each device connected to the Internet that is equivalent to an address on the Internet. IP address is required for
Internet communications.
HDD
Abbreviation for hard disk drive, a type of mass storage device.
Camera images are recorded onto a hard disk drive.
HTML
HTML is a markup language used for describing the logical structure of a document and its appearance. Links to images, audio, video and other documents can be inserted into the document. A web browser is used to view documents written in HTML.
Half Duplex
Communications method that switches between sending and receiving using a single communications line.

Glossary
IP Masquerading
A technology for sharing a single global address between two or more PCs. Allows simultaneous connection of multiple machines to
1 global address to dynamically convert NAT and different TCP/UDP port numbers.
IP address
The identification number assigned to PCs connected via IP networks such as the Internet or an Intranet, or to individual communications devices. Do not assign the same address to multiple devices, especially on the Internet.

Primary Server
DNS servers usually have more than 2 system and the primary server is the main system.
Private Address
IP address assigned when connecting primarily to LAN. Private IP addresses can be assigned freely on a network and do not require a formal application. However, because private IP addresses cannot be used to access the Internet, a router or other device it is necessary to assign a global IP address.
Protocol
A set of rules that allows the exchange of data amongst different types PCs with information. The Internet uses the TCP/IP protocol as its base and information is transferred following http and ftp protocols depending on the application.
Proxy Server
PC or software that connects with the Internet as the proxy for a computer on a local network. It allows special connections from the internal network and blocks unauthorized access from external networks.
RAID (RAID5)
An abbreviation for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks 5 that provides a highly reliable disk array by distributing access over multiple HDDs, increasing both speed and capacity. Even if one
HDD has errors, data can be recovered based on error correction data recorded on other HDDs. (RAID5 is used when 3 or more
HDDs are connected. However, when 2 or more HDDs simultaneously have errors, data cannot be recovered.)
RAID (RAID6)
An abbreviation for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks 6 that provides a highly reliable disk array by distributing access over multiple HDDs, increasing both speed and capacity. Even if two
HDD has errors, data can be recovered based on error correction data recorded on other HDDs. (RAID6 is used when 4 or more
HDDs are connected. However, when 3 or more HDDs simultaneously have errors, data cannot be recovered.)
Recording rate (ips, I-Frame)
Unit that determines the smoothness when recorded images are played back. "ips" indicates the number of recorded frames in 1 second. When the recording rate is higher, the playback is smoother, but available recording time is reduced. I-Frame indicates the refresh rate set on the camera.
Resolution
Indicates the smoothness of the image quality and the size of the images recorded from the camera. Indicates the number of dots used in the image displayed on the screen. A horizontal resolution of
720 dots and a vertical resolution of 480 dots is expressed as 720-
480.
Router

Secondary Server
DNS servers usually have more than 2 systems and the secondary server is the sub system. If there is trouble with the primary server, the secondary server takes over.
Sequence
Function that automatically switches the camera image in a preset order. Sequence is available on the recorder when live images are displayed.
Subnet
A small network used as a unit of administration when a larger network is divided into smaller networks. Large networks in corporations, for example, the network can be broken down into smaller networks called "subnets" to make the network more manageable and lines used more efficiently. In this case, these smaller networks are called subnets.
Glossary
