1. Outline
This network recorder is compatible with IPD-Q01 network camera and IEN-T01 network en-
coder. JPEG2000 images that are compressed in the network camera/encoder, together with
the audio data, are received via a network by the recorder and recorded on its hard disk drive.
Recorded data can be searched by the web browser of a networked PC and replayed in split-
screen format.
Multiple images from multiple network cameras can also be displayed live. Alarms or troubles
may be notified via e-mail in real time. This function lets you know anything unusual wherever
you are.
2. Features
(1) High-quality, high-speed recording
JPEG2000 images that are compressed in the network camera/encoder can be recorded
with higher resolution and picture quality at 240 fps maximum.
(2) Simultaneous recording from up to 32 network cameras
Images and sound from as many as 32 network cameras can be simultaneously recorded.
(3) Scheduled recording for 320 programs
Up to 10 programs for each camera can be scheduled for recording. With 32 cameras in
place, as many as 320 programs would be presettable. Not just routine recording and alarm
recording but also motion detection recording are preprogrammable.
(4) Streaming to up to 4 PCs
Live images and replays can be streamed to 4 PCs at once.
(5) Web browser-based display
Images and audio can be searched and reproduced through the web browser (Internet Ex-
plorer) of a PC. Images are displayed in 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 or 26 split screens.
(6) Search function
Dates and times, alarms and motion detections are readily searched to find your target im-
ages speedily.
(7) Alarm notification function
Alarms and troubles can be notified via e-mail to 10 addresses at once. The JPEG image just
when an alarm occurs can also be attached to the alarm notice mail.
(8) Maintenance
Via the network, the product software can be updated and self-diagnosed for real-time main-
tenance.

5. Before connecting the recorder into the network
First it is necessary to set the recorder’s IP address according to the existing network environ-
ment. Because a PC is used to make the recorder’s settings, first modify the PC’s IP address to
the recorder’s one.
5-1. Setting the PC’s IP address
First disconnect the PC from the existing network and modify the PC’s IP address to the
recorder’s one.
(1) To set an IP address, start with the properties of the local area network connection.
Getting the “LAN Connection” properties displayed
Click on the start button first and then on the control panel.
(2) Click on “Network and Internet Connections”.

E-6
(3) Click on “Network Connections”.
(4) Right-click on “Local Area Connection” and click on “Properties”.
(5) Click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” first and then on “Properties”.

E-7
(6) Click on “Use the following IP address” and modify the PC’s IP address and subnet mask
to the recorder’s ones.
*The PC’s IP address should be back to the original one after setting up the recorder.
Preferably note down the current IP address.
• Set the IP address at “192.168.1.○” (not 200 for the ○blank).
• Set the subnet mask at “255.255.255.0”.

panel. It takes about 1 minute to get the unit started.
5-3. Connecting the PC to the recorder
To hook up the recorder directly to the PC, use a cross LAN cable.
To connect the recorder via a hub to the PC, use a straight LAN cable.
Enter the recorder’s URL in the Internet Explorer address bar.
The initial setting is “http://192.168.1.200/”.
A pop-up window opens and you are asked for the user name and password. Enter the
administrator’s or operator’s user name as well as the password, and click on . The
initial settings are “admin” for the administrator’s user name and “1” for the password. The

5-4. Setting the recorder’s IP address
On the “setting” screen, modify the recorder’s IP address according to the existing network
environment.
Click on “Mode” and select “Setting” on the mode menu.
On the setting menu, select “Network” first and then “IPv4”.
Modify the recorder’s IP address, subnet mask and other settings according to the existing
network environment.

seconds to get rebooted. Finally connect the recorder to the existing network.

E-10
6. Connecting the recorder into the network
With the recorder’s IP address and other settings saved, connect it to the existing network. If the
PC’s IP address also has been newly set to meet the existing network, use Internet Explorer in
reconnecting it to the recorder. Now register the network camera/encoder in the recorder and
make images appear onscreen. Check the images for anything unusual.
6-1. Registering the network camera/encoder
Register the network camera/encoder in the recorder.
Select the “O” button of a blank line on the “list of cameras”. Enter the IP address (or host
name) and HTTP port number of the network camera/encoder in the “IP address/host name”
and “HTTP port number” boxes. Click on “Register”.
To register two or more network cameras, do the same as above one by one. When all the
cameras have been registered, click on “Save” at the bottom of the screen.
* Never forget to click on “Save”. Otherwise the settings will not be registered.

E-11
6-2. Checking images
With the camera registered, images from the network camera/encoder can be watched.
Use Internet Explorer in connecting the network camera/encoder to the recorder.
First select the screen layout.
Then select the cameras list.

E-12
When connecting the recorder for the first time, you are requested to get ActiveX installed.
Click on "Install" to install ActiveX. (This message does not appear on the second and later
connections.)
(Above shown is the Windows XP SP2 screen.)
* It may take longer than 1 minute until the install confirmation screen shows up.
With ActiveX installed, live images from the camera will appear onscreen.
*If ActiveX has been installed but no image appears, quit Internet Explorer and run it
again.

Now the camera is completely registered. Image recording procedures and other detailed set-
tings are referred to in the “Operation Manual (Applied Instructions)”.
