1. Introduction
The ADR-5008 package includes a system which supports up to 8cameras.
The DVR System is a high performance digital video recorder with built-in mini
web server and real-time video capturing capability. The video is grabbed and
compressed for faster transmission to your PC through 10/100Mbps Ethernet. The
video also can display through local VGA output . Besides, ADR-5008 supports digital
recording function. It can record / playback / browse video simultaneously and save
video data by cyclic recording to PC hard disk.
ADR-5008 supports full motion live video and audio through Internet, Intranet
connection.
When power up, the ADR5008 starts local DVR functions such as monitoring through
VGA output and recording to hard disk if it is configured to do that. For remote
monitoring or access to historical data, you will have to set up the LAN or Internet
environments and configure ADR-5008 IP information. When all these installation
are done successfully, ADR-5008 delivers real-time full-motion audio/video
transmission to anywhere anytime. A PC with Internet browser and our proprietary plug-ins
software can do that. The camera can be remotely controlled to zoom in and out (with a
PTZ camera), and the unit can be triggered to initiate certain events. Configuration of
ADR-5008 can be done by an IR remote control unit (default) or a mouse . A sample
configuration is shown as below.

This section explains each of the menu pages in turn.
4.11.1 System setup
Password protect
The Password Protect screen helps you to enable password protection, set
administrator and user passwords, set the autolock period and lock the
system immediately. Enabling password protection prevents unwanted users
from accessing or configuring the ADR5008. For more information, see
Password protect on page 13.

Enter new passwords for Admin and User in the corresponding fields. Set
an autolock time if required in the Autolock After field. The autolock
function locks the system after a given time and a password is required to
unlock it. Click Lock Now! to lock the system immediately.
Note:If you do not have a keyboard connected to the
system, you can use the on-screen keyboard to
enter your passwords. All the fields that can be
edited using the on-screen keyboard are indi-
cated by the on-screen keyboard icon. Double-
click the field to display the on-screen keyboard.
Use the mouse to enter characters for the re-
quired field.

12
Video
The Video menu enables you to set video parameters such as the video
standard, the compression boost, and so on for each of the connected
cameras. Video options are essential to viewing the best quality picture
possible. Select the camera from the Camera drop-down box and fill in
the details in each field as required using the mouse (recommended) or
keyboard.
Video input
Use the Video Input menu to assign a number to each camera connected to
the ADR5008. Usually you will want to call the camera connected to port 1,
“Camera 1” but you could assign it any number between 1 and 16.
Use the mouse or keyboard to set each camera number.

13
Disks
Use the Disks menu to configure network disks that the ADR5008 uses to
record data. If no disk is connected, (No Device) appears in the Disk
Device field.
Use the keyboard or mouse to enter the IP address and Volume of any
connected network disk. Click on the Test button to test if the drive is
working correctly.
TV output
Use the TV Output menu to configure the video output for the ADR5008.
The ADR5008 can support standard VGA computer monitors or TV type
screens. Set the device type, standard, outputs and other parameters. Set the
Camera (From) and Camera (To) options to specify the range of cameras
that are displayed in the cyclic display mode. Refer to TV output on page
18 for more details about the various menu options.

14
Use the keyboard or mouse (recommended) to set each field. Ensure each
field is set correctly before clicking OK. If parameters are set incorrectly it
could result in the display becoming unreadable and very difficult to correct.
OSD text
Use the OSD Text menu to assign text for each of the connected cameras.
For instance, you may like to have text saying “Warehouse” on the image
from a camera installed in the warehouse.
To display the OSD text:
1. Select the desired camera from the Camera drop-down box.
2. Click the Enable field to display the text.
3. Adjust the position of the text displayed on the image using the X
and Yparameters. A value of X = 0 and Y= 0 would result in the
text appearing at the top left corner of the camera image. Increas
ing the value of Y moves the text down the screen. Increasing the
value of X moves the test to the right. Enter the text to be dis
played in the Text field.
4. Use the keyboard or mouse (recommended) to complete the fields
and click OK to save changes.
GPIO
The GPIO (general purpose input output) menu enables you to view the
status of the input and output devices such as switches, sensors, LEDs, and
so on and view their status. These devices can be attached to the unit to
turn external alarms (outputs) on or off when the specified input changes.
When an alarm has been triggered, the GPI and GPO that are connected
will show the status of the input or output device. GPI devices will show
NC (normally closed) orNO (normally open) as the status of the switch.

15
Depending on the input, you can change the status of the GPO devices to
On or Off as required.
Change the GPO status as needed. Make sure that the devices are working
by checking the actual physical status of the inputs and outputs after mak-
ing changes in this menu.
PTZ setup
Use the PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) Setup menu to set the type of PTZ cameras
connected to your ADR5008. PTZ setup makes this system is capable of
controlling PTZ from software.
Select the type of PTZ cameras used and set each camera that has one
connected to Yes. The timeout value represents the time given to the
cameras to respond to a command.
Use the keyboard or mouse (recommended) to complete each field and click
OK to save changes.
