Page 17: Overview
• Remote video transmission system The HRDVS digitizes video and audio signals and records them on to a disk drive. This digital recording and playback system replaces the standard analog VCR and video tape. System reliability is improved as stretchable video tape, tape heads, and tape transport are all eliminated from the digital system. -
Page 18: System Components
Multiple language support: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch System Components The HRDVS is designed to work with a variety of other equipment. Even the most basic CCTV system will need at least one video camera, a cable to connect the camera to the HRDVS, and a video monitor to use during the system setup process. - Page 19 All remote access to the HRDVS is protected by password security. PCMCIA Remote Access Port The HRDVS has a PCMCIA slot that can be used for a PCMCIA modem or Ethernet card. This port can be used for network connectivity for remote access to upgrade the firmware operating system.
- Page 20 The HRDVS Program mode allows you to assign the signal level to be used by each alarm input. These user-defined alarm inputs are separate from the alarms that are triggered automatically if a video signal is lost or if an event is detected.

Storage Setup You can install up to two IDE hard disk drives in the HRDVS. Note If you add an additional drive, or upgrade system drive(s) after the initial system configuration, the storage system must be re-formatted. This results in permanent loss of data such as recorded video, audio, and text. -
Page 70: Configuring Storage Setup
On the Disk Menu, you can set up, configure, and check the status of the disk drives used to store your digital video. When a disk is installed and operating in your HRDVS, a button will be highlighted on the Disk Setup screen. The number of additional buttons you see enabled on the Disk Menu depends on the number of additional drives you have installed in your system. -

Page 93: Pre-Event Recording Setup
Pre-Event Recording Setup Pre-event recording allows you to record information that happens prior to an event (motion, text, alarm) from selected cameras, saving data for the time you specify. You cannot record audio with your pre-event video clips. Audio can only be recorded with timelapse clips and with event clips (motion, text, alarm). - Page 94 (motion, text, or alarm), the video recorded before the event is saved as a pre-event clip. After the event is reset—depending on the individual event reset types you set—the HRDVS goes back to a wait state until the next event is triggered. Length The length of time (from 1 second to 59 minutes, 59 seconds) the HRDVS records a pre-event video clip.
