1. Product Characteristics
1-1 Product Characteristics
Optimum Replacement for Time-lapse Recorder
Traditional Time-lapse Recorder is a mechanical device. It is very easy to break down after
long-term operation and it causes many problems such as: the overly used magnetic heads
which cause blurred image; tapes need to be changed often and manually; the recording time is
not long enough; the management of recorded tapes is complicated; inefficient when trying to
locate the needed data; recording a huge amount of useless images, etc.
Digital IDView DVR adopts digital recording technology. The quality of images will not
deteriorate with time. With its high compression rate, the storage time can last for months
under normal applications. The overwrite operation mode will overwrite the earliest data, and
no more tape change is required. Motion detection function will enable the recording only
when there is motion of the objective, and makes the system and data retrieval more efficient.
High Reliability
Normal PC digital surveillance system adopts the MS-Windows OS (Operating Systems). Such
kind of system is so often to crash. It usually makes a negative impression which digital
surveillance system is unreliable.
Digital IDView DVR adopts Embedded-Linux OS. Our advanced embedded technology
condenses the entire system into a tiny flash module, which makes the system more reliable.
Even when the power fails, the system will re-boot and return to normal operation in less than
one minute.
Longer Recording Days
Digital IDView DVR adopts the advanced MPEG-4 compression to store the video images. It
allows you to record more data on the same capacity of hard disks.
1

Ease of Operation
Mouse clicking on the Graphical User Interface controls all the operations. No keyboard is
needed so that it is most suitable for the security guards and normal non-IT based users to use.
Multi-Function
Function of one set of Digital IDView DVR = Time-lapse Video Cassette Recorder +
Multiplexer processor + Motion Detection Processor
You can backup the data to CD-R/RW, remotely monitor the images and still recording the
current video data at the same time.

alarm, its’screen will be zoomed in the “ Motion/Alarm Zooming” area and the original screen
of this channel will be replaced by a “Motion/Alarm Picture”. If the channel is not enabled
the “ Motion/Alarm to Zoom” function, the screen of this channel will not be zoomed and will
not be marked in red frame even there is a motion or alarm in this channel.
3. If there is no other motion or alarm occurring, the current zoomed screen will be continually
kept in “ Motion/Alarm Zooming Area”. If yes, the zoomed screen will be kept in
“ Motion/Alarm Zooming Area” just for three seconds and will be replaced by the one from
any channel waiting for zoomed after three seconds. If there is more than one motion or alarm
occurring at the same time, the zooming rule will be as follows,
a. The previous zooming channel will be the first priority for zooming again and others will
be marked in red frame to wait for zooming in after three seconds. However, the number of
continually zooming the same channel will be limited to three times. After three times,
even this channel occurs motion or alarm again, the motion/alarm zooming area will show
the screen of other channel. If the motion or alarm in one of the channels waiting for
zooming and marked in red frame disappears within three seconds waiting time, this
channel will not be zoomed in and the red frame will disappear.
b. If the previous zoomed channel does not have motion or alarm again, the first priority
being zoomed is the channel of which number is the smallest. For example, if channel #3
and channel #7 occur motions or alarms at the same time, channel #3 will be zoomed firstly
for three seconds and the screen of channel #7 will be marked in red frame to wait for
zoomed after three seconds.
4. Zooming in a specific channel: You can decide just to zoom in a specific channel. When
clicking any channel you want to zoom in, the screen of this channel will be zoomed in to the
“Motion/Alarm Zooming” area marked in yellow color frame and the original screen of this
channel will be replaced by a “locked picture”. Then, the screen of other channels, even
occurring motion or alarm, will not be zoomed in “Motion/Alarm Zooming Area” and it will be
just marked in red color frame. You can click the “ Motion/Alarm Zooming Area” to cancel the
“ Zooming in a specific channel”.

3-3 Storage Space
On the right side of the main screen, you can find the free space of hard disks. If there are
more than one hard disk is connected, it will display the status of each HD every 5 seconds.
When you start using a new hard disk (for example, a hard disk with capacity 80GB), the
percentage of free space will be very close to 100% (e.g. 99%), and the color will be BLUE.
However, as recording continues, the available space will diminish. When the remaining
available space is less than 4GB, the display color will change to ORANGE. This serves as a
warning message that the system will soon enter the Recycle Mode; which means, the earliest
recorded data will be replaced by the newest recording data. If you would like to keep all the
data, this is the time to swap a new hard disk.
If the disk has not been changed and the recording continues, the system will go into Recycle
Mode when the hard disk free space is less than 1GB. The color of “Hard Disk Free Space”
will turn RED.
