Features
■ High Quality Digital Video and Sound Recording
Compared to the conventional VTR using tape recording, digital recording onto a hard disk enables
recording of higher quality video and sound data. Unlike tape recording, rewinding or cuing takes very
little time..
The recording pixel size is 720×240 per video image. Highly recognized Motion-JPEG is adopted for
the data compression method during video recording. A variety of settings are available depending on
the purposes and total recording time by means of 4-level image quality setup and recording interval
setup ranging from the shortest of 1/60 second to the longest of 1 seconds.
Sound can be recorded simultaneously for any video recording setups.
■ Maximum of 4 Units of Large Capacity Hard Disk Drives Can Be Mounted
Up to 4 large capacity hard disk drives can be mounted for recording video and sound.
Extended recording is possible by recording onto one hard disk at a time, or highly reliable mirror
recording is viable by recording onto 2 hard disks at the same time.
■ Handling Input from 16 Cameras
16 input terminals for video signal are provided. The equipment is capable of receiving input from
standard video cameras and recording. The video quality and recording intervals can be separately set
up for each of the input cameras.
The video images from the input cameras can be displayed on the monitor according to the desired
purposes such as split-screen display or automatic sequence.
The monitor output comes in 2 lines (Monitor 1 and Monitor 2). The monitor display can be operated
separately for each output, capable of a wide variety of monitoring operations.
■ Simultaneous Operation of Recording, Playback and Live Display
Playback of recorded video is possible while recording continues. (Duplex operation)
Playback image and live image can be displayed singly on the monitor or in screen splits. In the screen
split display mode, LAYOUT setup is also available wherein recording continues while playback image
from the hard disk as well as live camera images are simultaneously displayed.
There is no need to stop recording , so important scenes can be continuously recorded while checking
the recorded data.
■ 2 Types of Recording Modes
In addition to manual recording mode where recording is started by pushing the recording button,
automatic recording mode is programmed in which timer setup, alarm input or motion (movements on
the monitor) detection automatically starts recording operation according to the preprogrammed
schedules for each monitor camera.
In the automatic recording mode, timer setup, alarm input, and motion detection can be set up in
combination. This enables a flexible operation according to a variety of monitor requirements.
■ Motion Detect (Movement Detection) Function
Automatic recording can be programmed for a situation wherein movement is detected within a certain
designated area of the recording range of an input camera.
■ Convenient Functions of Search and Playback
By specifying recording date and time or events of recording start (manual, alarm input, motion
detection, etc), the desired recording video can be quickely searched.
