IntroductionHydraIP Recording System

1 Introduction
Dear customers,
We thank you for purchasing a recording system of DResearch Fahrzeugelektronik GmbH.
The HydraIP recording system is used for mobile video surveillance of street and rail vehicles.
Depending upon your requirements, you may connect different analog and digital camera types such as
dome cameras or reversing cameras to it. Your video surveillance system can thus be adapted and equipped
individually.
You can easily configure linked systems with multiple vehicles and recorders with the variable topology
function.
Slave modules without independent storage devices are available as accessories to enable connection of a
large number of analog video inputs. The video recording system may also be extended by including
accessories such as the transmission module (3G/WLAN/GPS) or a people counting system.
Important additional data can be viewed on a monitor. The image may be advanced automatically and/or
manually via a button. Among other things, it is possible to configure monitor output to only display a black
screen whenever the vehicle runs faster than 3 km/h to avoid any distraction of the driver on account of the
video images.
In case of an incident, the driver may manually trigger an alarm by pushing a button. Alarm recording data is
stored separately from ring mode recording data. It is directly marked as an alarm recording and can thus be
retrieved easily during analysis with the ImageFinder NX analysis software.
The HydraIP recording system uses a replaceable storage device which can only be removed using an
electronic key. The storage device containing the video data is thus protected against unauthorised removal.
Data recording and deletion can be configured in conformity with local data privacy regulations. This ensures
that data is stored for a limited duration determined by the statutory provisions and deleted safely after the
prescribed amount time.
In addition to video and audio data, data of the IBIS vehicle bus and GPS data may be stored. The optional
transmission module (3G/WLAN/GPS) transmits the live video image, status information as well as the
location of the vehicle to the control centre.
Part of the firmware of the HydraIP recording system is the HydraIP ServiceTool. Authorised persons may
use it to access the recording system via the integrated USB service interface and check whether the
cameras are working as intended.
The recording system can be configured directly on the device via a special USB configuration stick or online
via the ServiceTool. Configuration via USB stick offers the advantage that an entire fleet may be configured
with the same recording system type by inserting a USB stick. The configuration on the USB stick is created
using the configuration application included on the product CD.
This document describes the proper installation and configuration of HydraIP recording systems as well as
the operation of the ServiceTool.

Explanation on how to use the manual
Safety notes
Safety notes warn against danger to persons and devices. Always observe the safety notes!
Caution! Danger to persons! Danger of damage to property!
Caution! Electrical hazard!
Note
Notes provide important additional information.
Important information!
1.4 Safety notes
Read the following safety notes and make sure you follow them:
For operating the device, only use the original parts or products recommended by the
manufacturer.
Avoid installation sites with excessive pollution due to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals,
humidity, heat, direct sunlight or electromagnetic fields!
Never use the devices at sites that present a risk of water entering the device!
Never try to insert objects through openings of the device because you might cause short-
circuits or electric shocks due to the voltage applied within the device.
Make sure you check the wiring and all voltages before using the HydraIP recording
system!
Before connecting the HydraIP recording system make ABSOLUTELY sure all ground
potentials are checked. At least one of the ground potentials being non-zero may cause
the destruction of the recording system. A chargeable repair will be required.
