www.dallmeier.com 15
5 Basic Settings
5.1 Language
The graphical user interface can be displayed in various languages.
Open the Language dialogue via System > Language.
Fig. 5-1
Select a Language.
Conrm with OK.
5.2 System Time
The system time is to 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.
Open the Time dialogue via System > System Time.
Fig. 5-2

DMX 800, DMX 1600, DMX 2400
www.dallmeier.com 16
Set the Date format.
Set the Time zone.
Con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.
Set the Time.
Set the Date.
Finally 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.
Activate the Use external time server check-box.
Enter the IP address of the time server.
Check the connection to the time server with Ping.
Finally 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.
Note the separate documentation for the radio clock.
Ensure that the radio clock is connected.
Activate the relevant interface in the Radio Clock section.
Finally 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 an unsteady circle bad reception

DMX 800, DMX 1600, DMX 2400
www.dallmeier.com 17
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 dialogue.
Open the System Security dialogue via System > System Security.
Fig. 5-3
Activate the required protocols/ports.
Deactivate the not required protocols/ports.
Conrm with OK.

DMX 800, DMX 1600, DMX 2400
www.dallmeier.com 18
5.4 Options
The basic functions of the recorder can be set in the Options dialogue.
Open the Options dialogue via System > Options.
Fig. 5-4
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.
Set the Alarm duration, if necessary.
Conrm with OK.

DMX 800, DMX 1600, DMX 2400
www.dallmeier.com 19
5.4.2 Recording Monitoring
The Recording monitoring function can be used to monitor the recording of cameras/
tracks.
Open the Recording monitoring dialogue via System > Options > Recording moni-
toring.
Fig. 5-5
The Min. Storage period is relevant for all recording modes.
A track/recording can be dened to cover a certain period normally. Various events can
cause a situation when more images have to be recorded or more memory capacity is
required.
Recording mode Event
Motion More motion than expected
Contact More contacts than expected
All recording modes Elevated memory capacity required because of poor image quality
If these events occur permanently the dened period Min. storage period can be under-
run. The function assumes an error in this case and can trigger displaying of a System
Message and/or sending of an Alarm Host message.
No error will be assumed when a track is dened too small in the Recording Settings dia-
logue.
Set the minimum storage period for the relevant cameras/tracks.
Conrm with OK.

DMX 800, DMX 1600, DMX 2400
www.dallmeier.com 20
5.4.3 Logging
In addition to system messages the recorder also allows user actions to be logged. The
analysis of the log data is done in the System messages dialogue as well.
Open the Congure logging dialogue via System > Options > Setup Logging.
Fig. 5-6
Set the protocol level with Low, Medium or High.
Activate the required Logging Settings.
Deactivate the not required Logging Settings.
Finally conrm with OK.
5.4.4 Up / Down Sound
The function of Up/Down sound is the latest signal that sounds when switching on or off
the device.
Up/down sound is the audible signal, which is heard when switch on or off the device.
If the checkbox is enabled the Up/Down Sound is active.
If the checkbox is disabled the Up/Down Sound is inactive.
