Description of Equipment
The Digital Video Recorder (DVR) records video and audio to USB storage media and can
capture snapshot images on-the-fly without interrupting recording. It has an internal real-time
clock with battery backup that provides date and time information. Videos and snapshots are
saved to a folder called DCIM on the USB devices. The DCIM folder is created if not present.
The videos are recorded as .ts files and the snapshots are .jpeg files. File names are
automatically generated by the real-time clock. The video bit rate can be tailored to match the
user requirements and storage capacity.
Text overlays reflecting current date and time can be applied to appear in the recorded video.
A single line of user defined text comments can be overlaid in the video. There are 5 user
entered custom text lines.
The DVR has an internal 16GB USB storage device. This internal memory will store at least 8
hours of video. There is a USB jack on the panel for an external storage device. There is no
limit on capacity of the USB storage devices; however, the devices need to be FAT 32 format.
The DVR will simultaneously record to both the internal and external USB storage devices.
When either internal or external memory becomes full, an on-screen message will prompt
the user to address the capacity of the internal or external memory before the recording
option will resume.
There is also a USB jack on the panel for plugging in a standard PC-type USB keyboard. A
wireless mini keyboard is supplied with the DVR. There is a blac
k ‘receiver’ for the provided
mini keyboard inserted in a USB space on the control unit. It will have two letters on it that
correlate with the mini keyboard. Without the receiver plugged into the control unit, the
keyboard will not be able to function.
NOTE:
the keyboard and its USB receiver are paired and
cannot be mixed with another set.
Keyboard Use and Charging
The internal battery is a non-replaceable Polymer Lithium-ion type. If no keys are pressed for
more than 3 minutes, the keyboard goes into Sleep Mode. Because of Sleep Mode, the
keyboard’s battery will last many hours and even many days on one charge. The battery will
retain a charge in Sleep Mode from 500 to 700 hours. To re-charge the battery, plug the
charging cable into the keyboard and into any standard USB jack. The charging cable can be
plugged into the RCAM panel to charge the battery and simultaneously operate the keyboard;
however, the keyboard receiver must be plugged in to either the RCAM panel or the female-
