3) TIMER RECORDING (scheduled time):

Recording is scheduled by Timer, indicated by the words “

TIMER RECORD

”.

There must be at least 8192 images of recorded data for playback to work properly.

If not, your DVR will stop the playback. For example, if the IPS is set to 30, the recording time should be at least 273 seconds (8192 images / 30 IPS) for the playback to work properly.

NOTE :

When the HDD is full under O/W recording mode, previous recorded files may be overwritten without further warning notices. Under

Channel 01 will get 30 IPS (120 / 4 / 1 = 30)

Channel 05 and 06 each will get 15 IPS (120 / 4 / 2 = 15)

“

LS :

The sensitivity of comparing two different images. The smaller the value, the higher the sensitivity for motion detection.

The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15.

The default value is 07.

SS :

The sensitivity towards the size of the triggered object on the screen (the number of motion detection grids). The smaller the value, the higher the sensitivity for motion detection.


The default setting is 03.

Note: The default setting of Spatial Sensitivity (SS) is 03, which means when 3 grids are detected for any motion at one time, the system will get triggered.

So the value of Spatial Sensitivity must be less than the number of grids which you set up for the motion detection area.

f) TS :

The sensitivity towards how long the object gets triggered. The smaller the value, the higher the sensitivity for motion detection.


The default setting is 02. g) h)

RE :

The value of RE is a reference for detection. The default value is 10, which means the DVR will compare 10 continuous images at one time according to the sensitivity of LS, SS, TS simultaneously. Therefore, the bigger the value, the higher the sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity is 61.

DESCRIPTION



To connect the wire from ALARM INPUT ( PIN 3 -- 6 ) to GND ( PIN 9 ) connector, DVR will start recording and the buzzer will be on.

When “MENU -> DETECTION -> DETECTION SETUP -> ALARM” is set to

“Low” : When the alarm input signal is “ Low ”, the unit starts to record and buzzer.

When “MENU -> DETECTION -> DETECTION SETUP -> ALARM” is set to

“High” : When the alarm input signal is “ High ”, the unit starts to record and buzzer.

Under the normal operation, COM connects with NC and disconnects from NO.

But when any alarm is triggered, COM disconnects with NC and connects with

NO.




Signal GND.



Connecting the wire from ALARM RESET (PIN 14) to GND (PIN 9) connector will disable alarms. An external signal to ALARM RESET (PIN 14) can be used to reset both ALARM OUTPUT signal and DVR’s internal buzzer. When any alarm has been triggered, the signal becomes “Low”, and all alarm activities will be stopped. Under the normal operation, the signal remains “High”.
