■ Recording/Playback

●

Stable image recording and playback

High throughput is achieved by equipping the camera port and the client PC port individually. It brings stable image reception using up to 64 cameras and up to 16 client PCs (depending on the network environment).

Recording

Images from up to 64 cameras can be recorded on hard disk drives in a single recorder. Recording images in JPEG,

M-JPEG and MPEG-4 format are available.

Image data The RAID function is available as the HDD fault-tolerance system.

In addition to the RAID 5 mode that recovers data when a single hard disk drive becomes faulty, there is RAID 6 mode that can recover data even if 2 hard disk drives become faulty.

Operation in the RAID mode is one of the solutions as the HDD fault-tolerance system that prevents data loss when handling a large amount of data on a large amount of storage.

Note:

• To use in the RAID 5 or the RAID 6 mode, it is necessary to install 3 or more hard disk drives and 4 or more hard disk drives respectively.

• Logical disk capacity when using in the RAID 5 mode

Logical disk capacity = Capacity of the smallest among the hard disk drives in the recorder x (number of the hard disk drives in the recorder – 1)

• Logical disk capacity when using in the RAID 6 mode

Logical disk capacity = Capacity of the smallest among the hard disk drives in the recorder x (number of the hard disk drives in the recorder – 2)

• Depending on the model of the hard disk drive, the available capacity may be a few percent smaller.

How the event action is taken

About events

In the recorder, an "event" is defined as a phenomenon which triggers a specific action (event action) in the recorder.

The recorder regards the reception of a terminal alarm, a command alarm, and a site alarm as an "event".

For example, when the recorder receives a site alarm issued by a camera, the recorder regards it as an event occurrence.

About the event action

When an event occurs, the recorder will take a specified event action.

The following actions will be taken as the event actions according to the settings.

• Record images/audio

• Record logs

• Notify of an event occurrence (by mail, LED, buzzer, image transmission to a FTP server, etc.)

Image of event/alarm action

The recorder will take an event action when the following events occur.

Terminal alarm: When a signal from an external alarm device such as a door sensor is supplied to the alarm input terminal (ALARM connector or ALARM/CONTROL connector at the rear of the recorder), it will be regarded as a terminal alarm.

Command alarm: When receiving a command from a PC via a network, it will be regarded as a command alarm.

Site alarm: When receiving a Panasonic alarm protocol from a network camera, it will be regarded as a site alarm.

The following are the event actions and their descriptions.

• Start recording

Recording will start according to the settings configured on the setup menu such as the recording rate, the recording duration, etc. Images recorded before an event occurrence can be associated with images recorded by the corresponding event recording so that images recorded at the event occurrence can be played as if the recording started before the event occurrence. (Pre-event recording)

• Display the event notification window

A pop-up window that notifies of an event occurrence will be displayed.

• Blink the alarm indicator

The alarm indicator on the front panel will start blinking.

• Sound the buzzer

The buzzer will start sounding for the duration set in advance.

• Move the registered camera to the preset position

The camera registered in advance will move to the preset position according to the settings.

A mail that notifies of the event occurrence with the time and date of the event occurrence will be sent. (Alarm mail)

It is possible to attach an image to the alarm mail. (Alarm image)

Up to 4 destination addresses for the alarm mail can be registered.

• Output signals from the ALARM/CONTROL connector at the rear of the recorder. (Alarm output)

When an event occurs, a signal will be output from the

ALARM/CONTROL connector at the rear of the recorder to sound an external alarm buzzer, etc.

• Save a log

A log that contains the event type and the time and date of the event occurrence will be saved. (Event log)

• Send recorded images to an FTP server at an event occurrence

When an event occurs, recorded images will continue transmitting to an FTP server automatically for the set duration from the time when the event occurred.

• Notify a PC of an event or an error occurrence using the

Panasonic alarm protocol

When an event or an error occurs, information about the event/ error will automatically be notified to the registered

PC according to the "Panasonic alarm protocol" setting. To receive a notification and display the contents of it, it is necessary to install the optional dedicated software.
