General Description
This equipment is a digital recorder that records images and sounds on a hard disk (HDD).
The simultaneous recording and playing function allows you to play back any camera images during recording.
Because images and sounds are recorded as digital data, high-quality recording and playing can be performed with
minimized deterioration of image quality and recorded images can be searched for instantaneously. By connecting
it with an external multiplexer (frame switcher), it becomes possible to perform multiple recording of images from
several cameras. In addition, this equipment comes with a network function, which enables remote monitoring on
networks.
Features (1)
(1) High-Quality Long-Time Image/Sound Recording
Because this recorder records data on a hard disk, it can perform higher-quality and longer-time recording as
compared with a VTR. In addition, it saves you from having to rewind a tape.
Motion-JPEG is used for video compression. It enables recording and playing of high-resolution images of 640
×240 pixels. Unlike a VTR, no shaky image is seen at the time of freezing. Images and sounds can be recorded
in all recording interval modes.
(2) Instantaneous Search
Three search functions (block search, time search and alarm search) make it possible to play bay target images
instantaneously.
(3) Adoption of Original File System
The adoption of our original file system minimizes random access to the hard disk when digital data is recorded
on it. This lightens the load on the hard disk, improving the reliability and quietness.
(4) Pre-Alarm Recording
The pre-alarm recording function makes it possible to record images and sounds from a point of time up to 5
seconds before an alarm is raised, which allows you to record and check the situation developed before the
occurrence of an abnormal condition. The alarm data before the occurrence of an abnormal condition is stored
in a buffer in memory, which lightens the load on the hard disk.
(5) Simultaneous Recording and Playing Function
This function allows you to play back any camera images without stopping recording. (Simultaneous recording
and playing can be performed when the recording interval is 1/5 to 10 seconds. In this case, sounds will not be
played back.)
(6) Automatic Recording After Recovery From a Power Failure
Even if recording is stopped due to a power failure etc., recording can be restarted automatically after recovery
from a power failure, which prevents omission in recording.
(7) Other Playback
Recorded images can be played back in various modes (forward/reverse playing, forward/reverse single frame
step playing, fast forward/reverse playing and freezing).
