The Digital Disk Recorder WJ-HD100 is designed for instal-
lation in a surveillance system as a recording device utiliz-
ing a large capacity hard disk. It records camera pictures
in a field basis up to 960 hours when the longest time mode
is applied. The picture quality is selected from among 10
levels to meet the system requirements, as well as the field
rate is selected. Beside recording and playback, it features
versatile interfaces with alarm sensors, CompactFlash card,

record medium is no longer needed. Series operation of
the plural units extends the recording capacity up to 16
times of one unit’s.

of retrieve.
• Compact Flash card slot equipped
The stored picture on the disk can be copied to a
CompactFlash card through the slot to browse them on
a personal computer.
• Various alarm mode settings
Picture quality is set exclusively for alarm recording
beside for the ordinary recording.
Buzzer can be set to beep when an alarm input arises.
The built-in motion detector is enabled or disabled to
generate an alarm beside physically connected sen-
sors.
• Remote control
An RS-232C port enables the recorder to communicate
with a personal computer or other RS-232C devices.
A modular terminal is equipped to communicate with
PS•Data devises among the RS-485 chain.
