v= covert •= not covert
Termination
This allows you to enable or disable the video loop-through output for each camera channel. If
the camera loop-through is not used, this setting should be enabled to get correct signal
termination. This is the default condition.
v= Termination enabled •= Termination disabled
Gain Control
This item allows you to adjust the camera’s video level. You may adjust the value between 1
and 16 for each camera.
REC Priority
This item allows the user to set the recording priority for each camera under a normal state (No
alarm occurred). TheCCT730 will record the camera that is assigned with a higher priority more
frequently. The user can move the cursor and use the ENTER key to adjust the value. The value
ranges from 1 to 16; “1” stands for the lowest priority; “16” stands for the highest priority. If the
camera is not installed, the priority will be set to 0 automatically.
Alarm REC Priority
This item allows you to set the recording priority when an alarm is triggered for the current
channel, either by Alarm In or by Motion.
For example:
If you set the PPS rate to “30”, the record priority of the channel to level ”4”, and the record
priority of all the other channels to level “1’, then each channel’s PPS can be calculated by the
formula below.
Situation 1: No alarm event occurs.
Channel 1 PPS = 31.6

camera for each programmable step (1~16), “0” means skip this step. Those cameras, which
are not installed or are set as covert will not be displayed on the call monitor.
6.4.2 Camera Auto-Detect
The CCT730 is able to auto-detect which and how many cameras are connected to it by looking
for their video signal. If a camera channel is not used, it is recommended that it is set as “not
installed”. Otherwise that channel will detected as suffering from “video loss”. Move back to the
Configuration Table 1 menu to un-install a camera.

of camera titles will appear. Select a channel and press ENTER again,
the character sub-menu will appear.
Use the arrow buttons to select your chosen character and press
ENTER to add it to the title. If the wrong character is entered, the
MODE button on the front panel of the CCT730 also doubles as a
backspace key. NB. the first character on the full list of characters is a
space.
6.4.4 Power ON Detect
This item allows you to enable /disable the camera auto-detection when the power is on. The
default setting is ON.
6.4.5 Title Position

This menu allows you to set up all the parameters related to the
recordings that you wish to make.
6.5.1 Day/ Night
This menu allows you to set up the Day start/ stop time, the PPS
(Picture Per Second) and the recording quality for Dayand Night-time.
Day Start Time/ Day Stop Time
These two items allow you to set the start/ stop time of the daytime recording schedule. Use the
arrow buttons to select the desired start/ stop time and press ENTER to save the setting.
Day REC PPS/ Night REC PPS
These two items allow you to set the Day/ Night record PPS (Pictures Per Second). The higher
the number of pictures per second, the smoother the video playback appears but the more
storage space is taken up on the hard drive.
Day REC Quality/ Night REC Quality
These two items allow you to set up the Day/ Night record quality. A superior picture quality
affects playback but will fill the hard disk faster and the total record time will be shorter. Options
are Low, Normal, High and Super. See Appendix 3 for a more comprehensive list of estimated
recording times.

6.5.3 REC Event Only
This item allows the CCT730 to be set up to record alarm events only. When this option is set to
ON, the unit will only record whenan event occurs.
6.5.4Event CH Priority
This option allows you to give a certain camera priority in the event recording. Using the
right/left arrows you can select either FIX or Auto. FIX gives all the channels the same priority
and Auto gives the channel a higher priority. Having a higher priority means that the channel will
be recorded more often than the others. This is a useful feature where cameras are used to
protect particularly vulnerable areas.
6.5.5Circular Record
The CCT730 can store recorded video information in rotation. If this setting is ON (default), the
earliest recorded images will be over-written automatically when the hard disk becomes full
(none-stop recording). If the Circular Record setting is OFF, the recording will stop when the
HDD is full. In this situation, a flashing message (HD Full) will be displayed when there is only
45 minutes of recording space left on the disk and a buzzer (if on) will activate when 15 minutes
is left.
6.5.6HDD Full Alarm
If you select ON for this item, the buzzer will be activated when
there is 15 minutes of recording time left on the HDD. This buzzer
will stop when a new HDD has been inserted.

6.6 Event
This menu allows you to configure how an EVENT is handled by the CCT730.
6.6.1 Day/ Night Switch
The CCT730 allows the installer to attach an external device to its I/O
connector to tell the unit when it should use its day or night settings.
This might be an output from an alarm panel that tells the CCT730 to
move into its Night mode when the panel has been activated.
Day/ Night SW Enable
Use the right/ left arrow buttons to select YES (enable) or NO (disable) for this option. If you
select “NO”, the Day/ Night Switch signal will be ignored and the unit will follow the day/night
timer schedules defined in the Record menu. If you select YES, the unit will follow the On/ Off
position of the external trigger.
Switch <OFF>
This item allows you to configure which setting (Day/ Night) will be activated when the switch is
OFF. You may select Day or Night by using the right/ left arrow buttons.
Delay For Active
After the Day/ Night switch setting has changed, there is a delay before the process takes place
to avoid the operator triggering a false event by mistake.
6.6.2 Event Response
This sub-menu allows you to set how the CCT730 will respond to a
triggered event.
Internal Buzzer
This item allows you to set an internal buzzer to activate when an
event is triggered.
EventRelay Output
There are two alarm output relays available on the unit’s I/O connector, Alarm N.O. (normally
open) and Alarm N.C. (normally closed). These signals are driven by an on-board relay and can
be used to drive a light or siren to warn the operator of an alarm event. This item allows you to
