ACCESSORIES
Power cord Ferrite core
Fixer power cord tie
Hard disk protection
If any hard disk format errors are found when the power is
turned on, the whole hard disk is checked automatically. If any
further problems are found with the hard disk, the POWER
indicator flashes. Please contact the place of purchase if you
need to reformat the hard disk or make backups of any
images. The hard disk is very sensitive to dust, vibration and
shocks, and it should not be used in places near sources of
magnetic fields. Be sure to observe the following points in
order to prevent any loss of data.
•Do not subject the digital video recorder to shocks.
•Do not use the digital video recorder in places where it will
be subjected to vibration or places which are unstable.
•Do not disconnect the power cord while recording or
playback is in progress.
•Do not use in places which are subject to rapid changes in
temperature (changes of around 10°C in an hour).
•If the digital video recorder is moved to a place with a
large difference in temperature or a high level of humidity,
condensation may form. If the digital video recorder is
used with condensation inside it, operating problems may
occur.
•Do not install the digital video recorder in places which are
constantly vibrating, such as vehicles or trains.
The hard disk and cooling fan are
consumables.
•These parts should generally be replaced after 2 years of
use (for the hard disk) or 3 years of use (for the cooling
fan) at normal temperatures of 25°C. These periods of
time are intended as guides only, and are not a guarantee
of product performance.
For important recordings
•Always check whether a recording has been recorded
properly.
•In case a recording was not recorded properly with this
unit because of faulty connections with other equipment or
a correct playback is not possible, any claims for
compensation will be declined.
•For important recordings, it is recommended to make a
periodical backup copy for protection against loss from any
malfunction or accident.

BUILT-IN HARD DISK
Hard disk
Recording areas
The recording areas on the hard disk (normal recording area: 80%,
alarm recording area: 19%, archive area: 1%) are established
automatically when the power for the digital video recorder is turned
on. Images are recorded in the normal recording area when the
REC/STOP button is pressed, and they are recorded in the alarm
recording area when an alarm occurs. This is called the default
condition, and the following detailed settings can be confirmed in the
sections on “RECORDING IMAGES IN THE NORMAL RECORDING
AREA”and “RECORDING IMAGES IN THE ALARM RECORDING
AREA”which are explained later. Furthermore, settings such as the
recording areas and picture quality can be changed using the menu
screens.
A Normal recording area
•When the REC/STOP button is pressed while monitoring is in
progress, images are recorded in the normal recording area.
•When start and end times are entered for each day of the week
and are then enabled, timer recording is automatically carried out
in the normal recording area between the times that have been
set.
B Alarm recording area
ALARM REC MODE SET menu settings are required.
•Alarm recording is enabled when ALARM RECORDING is set.
When a suspicious person is detected by the switch or motion
sensor that is connected to the alarm input terminal, an alarm is
recorded in the alarm recording area.
•Pre-alarm recording is enabled when PRE-ALARM RECORDING
is set. Pre-alarm recording repeatedly records the same images
as for normal recording in the alarm recording area, and
overwrites these images after the set time interval, until an alarm
is detected. When pre-alarm recording is set, the image
immediately before an alarm occurred can be recorded.
C Archive area
This is the area for copying important images from the normal
recording area and the alarm recording area. The size of the archive
area can be set to a maximum of 12 GB (15% of total capacity when
using an 80-GB hard disk) by changing the size of the normal
recording area or the alarm recording area.

BUILT-IN HARD DISK
Recording speed tables
These recording speed tables show the recording times for various picture quality and frame/field settings when recording in the normal
recording area of the hard disk (80 GB). They do not include audio recording settings.
The setting times for the normal recording area and the alarm recording area represent the picture quality values given in the recording speed
tables, multiplied by the percentages for the normal recording area and alarm recording area that have been set using the recording area setting
menu commands.
