The connected analogue cameras 1 - 4 are displayed after the start.
Fig. 4-1
In the initial state it is possible to login without password. The rights of the Administ-
rator group are valid.
Note that the denition of the passwords and of the network parameters is necessary
for remote access (Dallmeier PView or DMS WebCong).
¾Left-click the background.
The Recorder login dialogue is displayed.

DMS 80 / DMS 160 / DMS 240 / DMS 240 HSR
www.dallmeier.com 15
5 Basic settings
5.1 Language
The graphical user interface can be displayed in various languages.
¾Open the Language dialog using Setup > System > Language.
Fig. 5-1 : Language dialog
¾Select a Language.
¾Conrm with OK.
5.2 System time
The system time be set or retrieved from an external time emitter (time server or radio
clock). The Date format and the Time zone must be adopted in any case.
¾Open the Time dialog via Setup > System > System Time.
Fig. 5-2 : Set the time manually

DMS 80 / DMS 160 / DMS 240 / DMS 240 HSR
www.dallmeier.com 16
¾Set the Datum format.
¾Set the Time zone.
¾Congure the system time as described on the following pages.
5.2.1 Setting
The system time is provided by the internal RTC (Real Time Clock), if no external time
emitter is activated.
¾Set the Time.
¾Set the Date.
¾Finally conrm with OK.
5.2.2 Time server
The recorder supports the Network Time Protocol (NTP). It can retrieve the system time
from an external time server via network.
Other NTP capable devices (e.g. IP cameras, recorders) always can use the recorder as a
time server in the network. This function is independent from the local settings.
¾Activate the Use external time server check-box.
¾Enter the IP address of the time server.
¾Check the connection to the time server with Ping.
¾Finally conrm with OK.
The time of the external time server is taken over as system time after the restart of the
recorder.
5.2.3 Radio clock
The recorder can retrieve the system time from an external radio clock.
The USB radio clock DFM-1-USB is available for all Dallmeier recorders.
¾Note the separate documentation for the radio clock.
¾Ensure that the radio clock is connected.
¾Activate the relevant interface in the Radio Clock section.
¾Finally conrm with OK.
The time of the external radio clock is taken over as system time after the restart of the
recorder.
Status LED of the DFM-1-USB
Glowing red no reception
Blinking red/green in a circle of one second good reception
Blinking red/green in a unsteady circle bad reception

5.3 System security
Some functions require the external access via the network interface and therefore the
opening of the corresponding ports of the system.
For system security reasons, the number of open ports should be kept to a minimum. Ports
denitely not required for Dallmeier systems are closed ex factory and can not be opened.
Relevant ports are open to ensure full compatibility. Relevant ports that are not required
can be closed in the System Security dialog.
¾Open the System Security dialog via Setup > System > System Security.
Fig. 5-3 System Security dialog
¾Activate the required protocols/ports.
¾Deactivate the not required protocols/ports.
¾Conrm with OK.
5.4 Options
The basic functions of the recorder can be set in the Options dialog.
¾Open the Options dialog using Setup > System > Options.

5.4.1 Alarm duration
The recorder can be congured in such a way that it is set to alarm status by a Contact IN
function. In this case various actions are carried out automatically.
• The Secure or Hold-up tracks are saved
• The Longplay tracks declared (system parameters) as alarm track are blocked
• Recording with different settings for the duration of the alarm status
The alarm status is ended either by triggering the opposite Contact IN function or after the
elapse of the Alarm duration.
¾Set the Alarm duration, if necessary.
¾Conrm with OK.
5.4.2 Test modes
The test modes are designed to check the recording performance of the recorder and the
selected function for analog cameras. Please note that the evaluation is only possible on
the actual recorder (not, for example, via DMS NetCong).
Fig. 5-5 : Options/Test modes dialog
The test results will be displayed in a separate window. This will be shown both in sequen-
cer/live mode and in playback/live mode over the current splits.
Fig. 5-6 : Example output of test results (compare)

DMS 80 / DMS 160 / DMS 240 / DMS 240 HSR
www.dallmeier.com 19
5.4.2.1 Compare
The Compare test mode shows the results of the picture comparison (motion detection)
function in four different views.
The output alternates between all the analog cameras that are congured for Picture com-
parison recording mode.
Fig. 5-7 : Example of test mode Compare (without detection)
Please note that the numbering (A) of the cameras starts at 0 (camera 1 = 0, camera 2 =
1, etc.).
Fig. 5-8 : Example of test mode Compare (with detection)
If a motion is detected, the area of the motion is shown in four additional views and marked
(B). In addition the number of detection motions will also be displayed (C).

5.4.2.2 Performance
The Performance test mode displays the recording performance of the recorder in table
form. All the tracks earmarked for recording from analog cameras will be shown on the rst
line (track 1 = a, track 2 = b, etc.).
