4.3 Event

4.3.1. Sensor

User can install multiple sensors on the system to get the pre & post alarm recording and intensive
recording function as well.

ON/OFF
Turn on or turn off the sensor

CAM
Select the associated camera

OUT
Select the associated alarm output

Caution Relay contact can stand up to 24V/1A. In case that it is connected to the external
circuit which is over 24V/1A, it can cause a problem on the system.

INTENSIVE RECODING
When alarm is triggered, system instantly assigns full frame rate recording to alarm-triggered
channel during the selected dwell time, and also will trigger alarm signal via the selected
sensor-out channel. The recording speed of all other channel will remain unchanged.

PRESET
User can select the camera to move to preset position when the sensor is triggered. (User should
setup preset position in 4.2.3 PTZ menu in advance.)

DWELL (Post Alarm)

Set the recording period from the start of sensor input activation. During this period, the
corresponding camera will record according to the Record setting. The recording stops and alarm
output is turned off when the setting period is elapsed.

PRE-ALARM
Set recording period in seconds just before perceiving sensor input up to 5 seconds of time length.
The system records in certain seconds of time prior to the time that alarm is activated, so that user
 45

can search video even before alarm is triggered. The pre-alarm recording mode is always
“continuous” at the recording speed that user sets in “Camera” of “Record” menu.

TYPE
Select the sensor type between N/O(Normal Open) and N/C(Normal Close), connecting to alarm
input terminals. Circuit of N/O type is usually open, and the activation of the sensor occurs at the
time of close, and N/C type works the reverse way.

NOTIFY
User can select how to be alerted upon sensor is activated or motion is triggered by pressing
“NOTIFY” button.
The system will generate buzzer sound in the selection of buzzer and/or make pop-up screen of
the camera in the selection of camera pop-up.

Note Check the setting of the sensor type (N/O or N/C). It is recommended to use “Dry
Contact Type” while “Wet Contact Type” may cause the damage to the system.
The alarm might not function if the used sensor type and the system setting are
inconsistent.

Note “Camera pop-up” means that multi-screen live video mode will be switched to single
channel mode automatically upon alarm triggered. This single channel video is the
channel triggered by alarm.
 46

4.3.2. Motion Alarm

Motion alarm is to start the recording when motion is detected by installed camera based on the
area setting. The system will trigger alarm signal via the selected sensor-out channel.

4.3.3. Extra Alarm

There are several alarm functions available on the system such as SMART, VIDEO LOSS,
RECORDING FAILURE and HDD FULL.

S.M.A.R.T.
It is to trigger alarm signal when HDD might be about to be out of operation. Please refer to the
“Section 4.1.4 HDD” to check the HDD status.

VIDEO LOSS
It is to trigger alarm signal when the camera signal is disconnected.

RECORDING FAILURE
It is to trigger alarm signal when the system doesn’t record image due to the error in HDD or
system and so on.

DISK FULL
It is to trigger alarm signal when the HDD is occupied with a certain percentage of its capacity
47

If user set HDD FULL as STOP RECORDING in HDD menu and the HDD is occupied with the
certain percentage set here, DVR stops recording and alarm trigger.

Note Extra alarm will be remained in the event log only when it is set as “ON”.

Note S.M.A.R.T(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is the technology that is

developed by HDD manufacturers.
In some cases, S.M.A.R.T may not detect the abnormal operation of the HDD.
It is recommended to do HDD health check in the HDD menu regularly.
 48

4.4 Record

4.4.1. Camera

User can make recording setting for each channel separately.

ON/OFF
It is to switch “recording” on and off in each channel. If recording is not required on the selected
channels, even when the camera signal is input, set the recording of the corresponding channel
as [OFF]. Then, recording of the channel stops without pulling camera BNC cable off. [ON] or
[OFF] can be selected. The default is [ON].

RESOLUTION
It refers to the required horizontal and vertical pixel number of a frame. The resolution is indicated
as (horizontal) X (vertical) pixel number. Thus, select one setting from 352×240/288, 720×240/288,
720×480/576 & 960x480/576. As the resolution number increases, the picture quality becomes
higher. For example, 352×240 is VHS level and when high quality camera is used, 960×480/576
shows DVD level picture quality. When the picture quality gets higher, the recording file size
becomes bigger and the recording period will be shorter. Thus, selecting appropriate resolution
according to the situation is important.

Note The storage capacity for the same image will be different. Image per byte is ratio to the
image dimensions (horizontal x vertical), thus 720×240/288(2CIF) is twice the size of
352×240/288(1CIF) and 720×480/576(D1) takes about 4 times the storage capacity.
Therefore when high resolution is selected for the same period, the storage capacity
taken up will be larger and the storage period will be shorter on the same Hard disk
capacity.

FPS
It means “Frame” consisting even and odd fields per second. The system automatically calculates
“Remaining FPS”.

QUALITY
The setting value of “Quality” directly influences the byte size per image. For example, the byte
size decreases as quality goes lower. In this case, blocking (mosaic) phenomena tends to appear,
which is resulted by high compression. In contrast, blocking phenomena disappears as quality
 49

goes higher. In this case, the required storage space per image increases, which leads to
shortening of total recording period. Therefore, give consideration to the necessary recording
period, importance of each camera image, and quality of analog signal when setting the recording
quality.

Note There are two major different modes for quality setting.
1) VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
In this mode, user can change each camera’s quality by selecting one of the following
options.
: Low / Standard / High / Highest
2) CBR (Constant Bit Rate)
In this mode, user can change all camera’s quality by selecting one of the following
options.
: 128K~896KBPS / 1M~3MBPS / Low / Standard / High / Highest / Ex. Highest

AUDIO
Select the associated audio channel.

AUTO DEL (Auto Delete)

It means that the system will delete video whatever is recorded longer than the number of days set
by “Auto Del” in accordance with privacy regulation in certain country.

Note “Auto Del” does not guarantee the number of recording days that user set. For example,
even though user sets 10days in “Auto Del”, if HDD space is not enough, then the system
cannot record up to 10days. This feature is not to keep video data for a certain number of
days set by user.
If user sets 10days in “Auto Del” on August 20 for the system that has, for example,
30days of video data, then the system will keep video from August 11 to August 20 for
10days. All other video recorded before August 11 will be deleted by the system. On
August 21, the system will keep video from August 12 to August 21 for 10days.

DUAL STREAM
DVR can simultaneously generate two independent video streams (one for local recording and the
other for network transmission) for user to effectively manage recording image quality and network
traffic. The frame rate and resolution for each stream can be independently set, For example, user
can make recording setup as “30fps at 960H resolution” while the network setup as “just 1 fps at
CIF resolution”.
Select “USE DUAL STREAM” in order to use this function.
 50

RESOLUTION
Select the resolution to be transmitted. The higher resolution requires the bigger network
bandwidth due to its data size.

FPS
Select the frame rate to be transmitted. It is not related to the record setting.

QUALITY
Select the image quality to be transmitted. It is not related to the record setting.
The higher quality requires the bigger network bandwidth due to its data size.

AUDIO
Select On or Off to transmit audio or not.

STREAM LIMIT
It allows user to reduce the image quality for transmission by percentage of the standard quality.
The lower percentage requires the smaller network bandwidth but the image quality will be lower.
On the contrary, the higher percentage requires the bigger network bandwidth but the image
quality will be better. The highest image quality(100%) is same to the standard image quality of
record setting.

Note According to the setup of Resolution and FPS, system automatically calculates
“Remaining FPS” for dual stream.

Note Dual stream function is applied to network transmission of the live image monitoring,
only. In case of VOD(Playback) at the remote software, it is not related to dual stream
and the network transmission follows record setting of the DVR.

Note “HELP” button will help you understand how to setup several important settings.
For example, if you need help about how to set Camera, click “HELP” button.

4.4.2. Schedule

Set recording schedule for each camera. First, select the camera to set schedule, or “All”.
Recording can be set by each hour from 00 through 23 a day.
 51

NO COLOR (Off)
“Off” means no recording. Even though user set recording frames and on in “CAMERA”, the
system will not record anything if user sets “OFF” in SCHEDULE.

YELLOW COLOR (Continuous Recording)

In continuous recording mode, the system records all the time as set by “CAMERA”.

GREEN COLOR (Motion-Detection Recording)

In this mode, the system records only when motion is detected in the motion area, and stops
recording when motion is not occurred. In addition, user can make motion recording configuration
in “MOTION ALARM” of “DEVICE” menu.
If user sets “OFF” in “MOTION ALARM” of “DEVICE” and sets “MOTION” in “SCHEDULE”, then
the system will record when motion is detected but motion alarm is not activated.

ORANGE COLOR (Sensor-Activated Recording)

In sensor mode, the system will record when sensor is triggered only during dwell time as set in
“SENSOR” of “DEVICE” menu.
If user sets “OFF” in “SENSOR” of “DEVICE” and sets “SENSOR” in “SCHEDULE”, then the
system will not record anything even though a sensor is triggered.

SKY BLUE COLOR (Continuous + Motion Detection Recording)

The system records all the time by “continuous” as set by “CAMERA” of “RECORD” but will switch
recording mode to motion configuration as made by “MOTION ALARM” of “DEVICE” if motion is
detected in motion area. The system also will notify “motion event” message to Remote Software
over the network.
If user sets “OFF” in “MOTION ALARM” of “DEVICE” and sets “CONT + MOT” in “SCHEDULE”,
then the system will record as mentioned above, but motion alarm is not activated even motion is
detected.

DARK ORANGE COLOR (Continuous + Sensor-Activated Recording)

The system records all the time by “continuous” as set by “CAMERA” of “RECORD” but will switch
recording mode to sensor configuration as made by “SENSOR” of “DEVICE” if a sensor is
triggered. The system also will notify “sensor event” message to Remote Software over the
network.
If user sets “OFF” in “SENSOR” of “DEVICE” and sets “CONT + SENS” in “SCHEDULE”, then the
system will record with continuous recording mode only, but sensor alarm is not activated
even though a sensor is triggered.
 52

PINK COLOR (Motion Detection + Sensor-Activated Recording)

The system does not record in normal operation but records only when motion is detected as set
by “MOTION” of “DEVICE” and a sensor is triggered as set by “SENSOR” of “DEVICE”.
If user set “OFF” in both “MOTION” of “DEVICE” and “SENSOR” of “DEVICE”, then the system will
record only when motion is detected, but neither motion alarm nor sensor alarm is activated.

Note In case the recording schedule is set by “CONT + MOT” or “MOT + SENS”, then the
system records by continuous or motion detection mode in normal operation. However,
when motion is occurred in motion area or alarm is activated, then recording mode will
be automatically switched to intensive recording as set by “MOTION ALARM” or
“SENSOR” of “EVENT” menu.
