ABOUT THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREFACE

The Network Disk Recorders WJ-ND300 is designed for use within a surveillance system.

The network disk recorder is a recording device using a hard disk drive to record pictures of network cameras instead of using

videotapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwriting will not experience deterioration of the recorded picture quality.

Up to 32 cameras can be connected to the WJ-ND300 via a network and it is possible to record their camera pictures. It is

possible to perform the settings or operate the unit using a web browser installed on a PC when this unit is connected to a net-

work.

FEATURES

Various Recording Functions

It is possible to perform multiple recordings using a sin-

gle digital disk recorder even if the operating environ-

ments are different, for example, recording pictures of

cameras in different places with different recording

rates.

• Schedule recording

It is possible to perform recording automatically at a

scheduled time on a designated day of the week. It is

also possible to apply different recording settings, such

as the recording rate, by the schedule time.

• Emergency Recording

In the case of an emergency, emergency recordings

will be given a higher priority than other recording

modes by operating an external switch.

• External Timer Recording

It is possible to perform recording automatically using

an external timer.

• Event Recording

At an event occurrence, such as when an alarm signal

is supplied, the recording rate can be changed.

Downloading/Transmitting Images
