Note: DVR’s A-16 sound card will capture up to 16 audio Inputs on a single DVR.32Details: Installed Audio Devices: Shows all installed audio devices on the system. For 4 channels of audio recording, an additional PCI sound card is required. Select Directory: Choose the path for sound files to be recorded. Stop at (MB): Minimum 300MB must be allocated on any drive to prevent “disk full” error message from windows O/S (For example: With a maximum of 2 Gb, stop at MB=300. Therefore, the total available space on drive “C:” allocated to sound is 1.7Gb). Installed Audio Select Channel: Select required channels for sound recording. 4-channel audio recording requires an additional PCI sound card. 16-channel audio recording requires the DVR A-16 audio card and software. Select Camera: Select which camera will be linked to the preferred sound channel.Email:? The DVR software can be configured to send e-mail notification of events (including change of IP address after the DVR reboots). This is dependent on the notification schedule configured in Camera setup. To setup e-mail enter a valid outgoing mail server address (SMTP), the outgoing e-mail address (i.e. who the e-mail is “from”) and where the e-mail should be sent (who the e-mail is “to”). To attach a single image of the event, click “attach image”. Initial Screen: Use the pull-down box to select the number of cameras to be displayed on the screen when starting the Program. If you wish to have all sixteen cameras displayed on the initial screen select “16 View.” Large Screen: Check this box to start DVR in maximized (full-screen) mode, where only the camera images are displayed.

Note: For multiplexed (split screen) display, a live card must be used. DVR Display Switching Time: The PC monitor attached to the DVR has several viewing options in addition to the “Initial screen” option above. Like the external video monitor, cameras can be viewed 1, 4, 6, 10, and 16 at a time. In this example, clicking the “auto change” button on the DVR Main screen will cause the program to switch from four cameras to the next four cameras and so forth.Screen:? ? ??33Auxiliary Functions:? Keyboard Lock: Check this box to prevent unauthorized access to the Windows operating system. When checked, the system will ignore all of the Windows shortcut keys including the flying Window key. Note: This does not prevent a user from pressing the &Ctrl&&Alt&&Del& keys to bring up the Task Manager or Close Program dialog. However, closing DVR this way will enable the hardware watchdog and set off the warning buzzer and reboot (see below). Enable Hardware Watchdog: Check this box to enable hardware watchdog. Automatically reboot the DVR anytime a system problem occurs. When there is no video signal or the system locks up, the watchdog waits for the time set in the advanced section of the “Start.exe” and the DVR will restart (for details look in DVR Management section of the manual). The warning buzzer can be disabled in setup. Note :Hardware cable must be connected to motherboard reset pins for proper operation Audible Alert on Video Loss: Check this box to have DVR alert you when there is a loss of video signal for one or more cameras. Schedule auto reboot of DVR: The DVR can be set to automatically reboot and restart the system on a specified schedule. This function allows to clear the cache memory of the system. Click Properties and select the day, hour and minute desired. Setting Log Timeout: On the Main DVR screen, login and passwords are used to allow or deny privileges to certain users, such as searching, PTZ control and running admin setup functions.

System: When the DVR and DVR software are started as well as when the system is accessed remotely. ? Sensor: When a sensor is activated. ? Motion: When motion is detected. ? User: When a user logs in or out. The details (date & time, user name, IP address, camera number, etc) are stored in a log file on the hard drive (C:\ B612dvr) and can easily be read with Windows Notepad or WordPad.345-1-3. Camera Setup5-1-3-1. General? ?Click the camera buttons on the left to setup each camera,― or ― Setup one camera then use the Select All button at the top of the camera buttons to copy the settings for the initial camera to all other cameras.Less is More?There are several options on the “Camera Setup - General tab,” such as, resolution, frame rate, compression and picture quality that will ultimately enhance the picture quality. However, selecting the highest quality on each camera will reduce the number of days available for playback on the DVR.35? ? ?Images with High resolution (uncompressed images), recorded at a fast frame rate takes up more storage space on the DVR and, ultimately fewer days will be recorded. Images with lower resolution (heavily compressed), recorded at a slower frame rate take up less storage space on the DVR and more days can be recorded. The default settings on this screen is a safe middle ground to give better quality images for playback over a reasonable number of days.Enable Camera:? Check the box to enable or disable camera from viewing and recording. Note: Be sure to disable any cameras you are not using. This will improve system performance & prevent video loss alarms. Camera 1 is on always by default.Name & Resolution:? ? Camera Name: Enter a name that best describes the camera location. Select Recording Frame Rate: Use the pull-down box to select either 320 X 240 for normal resolution or 640 X 480 for high resolution. Please refer to the “Less is More?” section (above) for details on how this can affect recording time.Select Recording Frame Rate:This section is used to set the “frame rate” which refers to the number of video images/frames recorded every second per camera. This should not be confused with the frame rate for the entire DVR. For example, if the DVR’s frame rate is 60 frames per second (fps), and there are 8 cameras attached, then the average frame rate would be 60 divided by 8 or about 7.5 fps. ? Maximum averaged frame rate: Click this to have the DVR software automatically divide the frame rate evenly among active cameras. Note: Set to “maximum averaged,” and the frame rate can vary as cameras detect motion. This means that playback may appear to speed up and slow down. ? Select frame per camera: 4 Frames/1 sec is the default for these two fields & should be more than adequate for day-to-day recording. Broadcast television records at 30 fps.Display Options:Enabled cameras will be recorded on the DVR according to the settings on the other tabs (Schedule, Color & Motion). It may be unnecessary or undesirable (i.e. a covert camera) to display certain camera views on the DVR, through the External Monitor, or when viewing remotely over the network. ? Remove from DVR Display: Click here and this camera will not show on the Main DVR36? ?Remove from Monitor Output: Click here and this camera will not show on the Monitor Remove from Network Display: Click here and this camera will not transmit over the NetworkCompression Format & Picture Quality:The DVR program can record captured video in either of these two formats. JPEG is used primarily for photographs (still images) and MPEG for moving pictures (motion images). Video images are compressed to take up less space. The slider control adjusts the picture quality. (Read the “Less is More?” section (above) for details on how this can affect recording time). ? JPEG: Click this to record with little compression for high quality images ? MPEG: Click this to record with more compression to get good quality images ? Picture Quality: § Move the slider control to the right (number gets larger) to increase picture quality and decrease compression § Move the slider control to the left (number gets smaller) to decrease picture quality and increase compressionTransmission Format & Picture Quality:“Transmission format” relates to the quality of images transmitted over the network. The explanation of this heading is virtually the same as “Compression Format & Picture Quality” (mentioned above).Pre & Post Alarm Recording:§ § Pre Alarm: Select the number of frames to record prior to Motion or Sensor detection Post Alarm: Select the number of frames to record after Motion or Sensor detectionNote: These settings will have no effect unless Sensor, Motion and/or Sensor & Motion times are highlighted on the Camera Setup C Schedule tab (see below).375-1-3-2. ScheduleShorter is Better?Like the “Less is More?” section above, the “Recording Schedule” options also determines how many days are recorded and available for playback on the DVR. § Normal mode means 24 hours a day recording 7 days a week regardless of whether there is activity to record. Specific applications of a business may require this type of recording. Motion mode, however, will only record when there is activity within the camera view.§For example, a camera that points at the shipping area overhead door might detect activity only during morning delivery and afternoon pickup for a total of 30 minutes a day. Setting that camera to “motion” would free up 23? hours of recording time on the DVR! More hard drive space is used up to record 24 hours of activity versus 30 minutes. So the question to ask for each camera is: If the camera is detecting and recording all motion, how much recording is necessary? Note: It is important not to confuse “Recording Schedule” with the cameras themselves. The cameras are on all the time (24/7) and can be viewed on the main DVR display, the external monitor and by remote connection. “Recording Schedule” determines only what will be recorded for later viewing (playback) in Search mode.38Recording Schedule:Click the desired button ― Normal, Sensor, Motion, Display, Sensor & Motion or Normal & Event. Then hold down the left mouse button to shade one or more time blocks left to right on the 24 hour, Sun-Sat matrix. The color blocks in the matrix will match the color block for each button: § § § § Normal (bright green): The DVR records all images captured by the camera. (Default) Sensor (yellow): Images begin recording when a sensor associated with th is camera detects activity. Motion (teal): Images begin recording when this camera detects motion. Sensor & Motion (pink): Images begin recording when a sensor associated with this camera detects activity or when the camera detects motion.Note: The total amount recorded will depend on the “Pre & Post Alarm Recording” settings, found in the Camera Setup C General tab (see above). § Display (white): No images are recorded for this camera. However, they can be viewed on the Main DVR screen, a video monitor and/or over the network. (See also the Display Options settings on the Camera Setup C General tab). Normal & Event (rose): The DVR records all images captured by the camera at the frame rate specified on the Camera Setup C General tab. When an event (sensor or motion) occurs, the frame rate for this camera will begin recording at the maximum available frame rate.§Remote Notify Schedule:Click the desired button - Notify or Clear - then hold down the left mouse button to shade one or more time blocks on the 24 hour, Sun-Sat matrix. The color blocks in the matrix will match the color block for each button: § Notify (bright green): When “Remote Notification of Events” is checked (see Network section of the System Setup screen) and an event occurs, 3 things will happen on the “Remote Client” software. 1. The client software goes from minimized to full-screen mode. 2. An audible alarm will sound: 3. Information about the camera date and time of the event are displayed. § Clear (white): no remote notification will occur.395-1-3-3. Color & MotionRRM - What’s this?When the “Recording Schedule” is set for “Motion” or “Sensor & Motion,” objects with Regular, Random Motion (RRM) will cause the DVR to record all the time. Examples of RRM objects are those affected by wind movement such as: § § § § Trees and shrubs, flags, banners, balloons, etc. A flickering computer monitor. Street traffic on the edge of the viewing area. A store display that rotates or moves. Other RRM objects could be:Almost all of these RRM objects are acceptable and would be ignored by human security personnel. It is possible to “teach” the DVR to ignore them by setting up “detection areas” around these objects.40Detection Area Setting:§ Whole area: Click to select the entire camera view for detection of motion. This is the default and should be used for all cameras that do not have RRM objects (see paragraph above). § Partial area: Click to create “detection areas” around RRM objects. The words on the four button bars change from gray (inactive) to black (active): § Press the &Add& button bar to add a detection area. § Move the mouse pointer up to the camera view window, § Hold down the left mouse button, and drag the mouse down to the right to create a rectangular detection area. § Release the left mouse button. The rectangular detection area is now highlighted in blue. Create up to 10 detection areas as needed to completely cover the screen, leaving the RRM objects outside of the rectangles. Note: Only movement inside the rectangles will trigger recording § Select: Select detection area. § Delete: Push &Delete& to erase a detection area. § Delete All: Deletes all detection boxes. § Display Detected Area: Check this box, and press the &Detection Test& button to test the sensitivity of the motion detection.Color Control:Sets the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue of the camera image. Press the &Default Value” button to return all settings to the original values. Note: Black & White cameras must be set at “0” value for Hue and Saturation.Relay Options:Enabled when Motion recording is selected on the Schedule menu. § Use Relay: Check the box to enable Relay Output. § Relay 1~4: Select the desired relay to be enabled. § Latch Time: Select the time for the relay to be active on motion or event detection. (Max 10 Sec) Remember each camera has its own settings so press the &Apply& button to set each cameraMotion Setting:? ? Rate of Motion: Change the % of motion sensitivity to detect changes. Higher % = greater sensitivity of motion detection. Sensitivity Adjustment: Set the color sensitivity of a moving object.
