All guarantee claims are invalid in such cases. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. If you pass on or sell the device, you must also include this user manual. This device has been manufactured in accordance with international safety standards. Power supply Only operate this device through a power source which supplies the mains power specified on the type plate. If you are unsure of the power supply at the installa- tion location, contact your power supply company.

Warning Avoid data loss! Always use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with overvoltage protection. Disconnect the device from the mains power supply before carrying out maintenance or installation work. The on/off switch does not completely disconnect the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect the device completely from the mains power supply, the plug must be disconnected from the mains socket. Therefore, the device should be positioned so that direct and unobstructed access to the mains socket is guaranteed at all times and the plug can be disconnected immediately in an emer- gency.Important safety information

To avoid the possibility of fires, the plug should always be disconnected from the network socket if the device is not used for long periods. Disconnect the device from the mains power supply before impending electrical storms, or use an uninterruptible power supply.

Warning Never open the device on your own! There is a risk of electric shocks! If it is necessary to open the device, consult trained personnel or your local maintenance spe- cialist. The installation or modification of a HDD should only be made by trained personnel or your local mainte- nance specialist.

Warning The installation of additional equipment or modifi- cation of the device invalidates your guarantee if not carried out by trained personnel. We recommend having the HDD installed by a maintenance specialist. Your guarantee is invalidated in the event of im- proper installation of the HDD. Overloading / overvoltage Avoid overloading of mains sockets, extension cables and adapters as this can result in fires or electric shocks. Use overvoltage protection to prevent damages caused by overvoltage (e.g. electrical storms). Cables Always hold cables by the connector, and do not pull the cable itself. Never touch the mains cable with wet hands, as this can lead to a short circuit or electric shock. Never position the device, furniture or other heavy items on the cable. Ensure that the cable does not become kinked, especially on the connector and sockets. Never knot the cable, and do not tie it to other cables. All cables should be laid so that they cannot be stepped on or cause an obstruction. A damaged mains cable can cause a fire or electric shock. Check the mains cable from time to time. Never modify or manipulate the mains cable or plug. Do not use plug adapters or extension cables that do not conform to the applicable safety standards, and do not make alterations to power supply cables or mains cables. Installation location / operating environ- ment Position the device on a firm, level surface and do not place any heavy objects on the device. The device is not designed for operation in rooms subject to high temperatures or moisture (e.g. bath- rooms), or in excessively dusty rooms. Operating temperature and ambient humidity: -10 °C to 55 °C, maximum 85% relative humidity. The device may only be operated in moderate climate conditions. Ensure the following: Sufficient ventilation must be present at all times (do not place the device in a storage rack, on thick car- pets, on a bed or anywhere where the ventilation slots are covered. Make sure that a gap of at least 10 cm is present on all sides). The device must not be exposed to direct heat sources (e.g. heaters). The device must not be exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light. The device must not be placed in close proximity to magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers). Naked flames (e.g. candles) must not be placed on or near the device. Contact with spraying or dripping water and aggres- sive liquids must be avoided. The device must not be operated in close proximity to water, and must not be submerged under any cir- cumstances (do not place objects containing water on or near the device, such as vases or drinks). Foreign objects must not penetrate the device. The device must not be exposed to strong variations in temperature, as this can lead to condensation and electrical short circuits. The device must not be exposed to excessive jolts or vibrations. Remote control Remove all batteries if the device will not be used for a sustained period, as these can leak and damage the device.Important safety information

Care and maintenance Maintenance is necessary if the device has been dam- aged. This includes damage to the plug, mains cable and housing, penetration of the interior by liquids or foreign objects, exposure to rain or moisture or when the device does not work properly or has fallen. Disconnect the device from the mains power supply before maintenance (e.g. cleaning). If smoke develops or unusual noises or odours are detected, then switch off the device immediately and pull the mains plug from the socket. In such cases, the device should not be used until it has been in- spected by a qualified technician. Maintenance work should only be carried out by qual- ified specialists. Never open the housing on the device or accesso- ries. There is a risk of fatal injury due to an electric shock when the housing is opened. Clean the device housing and remote control with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents, white spirit or thinners as these can damage the surface of the device.

Note Please read the following basic instructions before setting up the device. A network is a connection of at least two network-capable devices. Transmission types: Wired networks (e.g. CAT5 cable) Wireless networks (WLAN) Other transmission types (Powerline) All systems have certain similarities, but can also differ in many ways. Terms and definitions An overview of relevant terms when using the device in a network can be found below. Parameter Setting IP address An IP address is the unique address of a network device within a network. This address may only appear once with- in a network. Certain IP address ranges are reserved for public networks (e.g. the Internet). Private address range e.g. 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Subnet mask A subnet mask is a bit mask used for making decisions and assignments dur- ing routing.

255.255.255.0 is the standard subnet

mask in home networks. Gateway A gateway is a network device which al- lows all other network devices to access the Internet. This can be the computer connected to the DSL modem or – usually – the router or access point within the network.

Parameter Setting Name server The name server is responsible for as- signing a unique IP address to a web ad- dress or URL (e.g. www.google.de). Also known as DNS (Domain Name Server). When a domain name is entered into a browser, the DNS searches for the cor- responding IP address of the server and forwards the query on. The IP of the provider’s DNS can be en- tered here. However, it is often sufficient to select the IP of the gateway. This then forwards the queries independently to the provider DNS. DHCP The DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and name server to a network device. DHCPs are available in current routers. The DHCP service must be specially set and activated (see the corresponding manual for more information). Note: When using fixed IP addresses and a DHCP server, make sure that the fixed IP addresses are outside the address range assigned by DHCP. Otherwise, problems could occur.Configuration

Port A port is an interface used for communi- cation by different programs. Certain ports are fixed (23: Telnet, 21: FTP), whilst others can be freely selected. Ports are important for different applica- tions (e.g. external access to the device over a browser). MAC address The MAC address (Media Access Con- trol or Ethernet ID) is the specific hard- ware address of the network adapter. This is used for the unique identification of the device in a computer network.

Network layout The device must be physically connected to the network over a CAT5 cable (see the connections on page 62).

Note Pay attention to the specific information and in- structions on the network devices. Several switches, routers and access points can be con- nected to each other. Firewalls and other security soft- ware can affect the network.

Warning When using a router, the network clients (e.g. the recorder) can be connected to the Internet and vice versa. Make sure to use protective measures to prevent unauthorised external access (e.g. firewall, chang- ing passwords, changing ports)! Network-configuration

TAB Settings General Settings for the local net and selecting the network mode. PPPOE PPPOE is used on ADSL connections and when using modems in Germany.

CIF Common Intermediate Format Originally planned for converting PAL to the NTSC standard. CIF corresponds to a video resolution of 352 x 288 pixels (2CIF = 704 x 288 pixels; 4CIF = 704 x 576 pixels). CINCH Socket type used for analogue audio or CVBS video sig- nals. CVBS Colour, Video, Blank and Sync – The simplest variation of video signals (also known as composite video). The image quality is comparatively low. DDNS Dynamic Domain Name System entry Network service which provides and updates IP address- es of its clients in a database. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Network protocol which allows the automatic connection of devices (clients) in existing networks. DHCP servers (e.g. Internet routers) automatically assign the IP ad- dress, network mask, gateway, DNS server and WINS server (when required). Only the automatic acquisition of IP addresses must be activated for the client in this case. Domain Name used for the identification of websites on the Inter- net (e.g. www.abus-sc.de). Dual Stream Dual stream is a video transmission method. A high- resolution recording and lower-resolution transmission are made over the network, for example. The main stream has a 4CIF resolution and the sub-stream has a CIF resolution. DVR Digital Video Recorder – A device used for recording dif- ferent video and audio sources (analogue, digital). The data is compressed for recording and saved on hard disk drives (HDD). H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) – Standard method for the highly-efficient compression of video signals. Used on Blu-ray discs or video conference systems, for example. HDD Hard Disk Drive Digital data storage on computers or DVRs. GIGABYTE Unit of capacity for storage media (HDD, USB, SD/MMC cards). HDVR Hybrid DVR – DVR used for recording analogue cameras and network cameras. http Hypertext Transfer Protocol Method for transmitting data across networks. Primarily used for displaying websites in a browser. INTERLACED Method for improving the picture quality of a video signal without consuming extra bandwidth (scan pattern on eve- ry second line).

JPEG Compression method for photo images with minimal loss. Most digital cameras save photos in JPEG format.115 MPEG Moving Picture Experts Group – International standard for the compression of moving images. On some DVDs, the digital audio signals are compressed and recorded in this format. NTP Network Time Protocol Method for synchronising the time across networks. SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is also available, offering a simplified protocol. NTSC Standard television format in the USA. The method is dif- ferent from the European PAL system in certain ways. A full-screen NTSC image is comprised of 480 visible lines and a total of 525 lines. 60 half-images are displayed per second. Compared to PAL, the system is more suscepti- ble to colour errors. PAL Phase Alternating Line – European colour TV system. Uses 576 visible image lines. Together with the lines used for signal management, a full-screen image is com- prised of 625 lines. 50 half-images are displayed per se- cond. The phase position of the colour signal changes from line to line in the image. PANEL Interior of a flatscreen display (e.g. LCD or plasma pan- els).

Personal Computer – Can be used as a remote site, ei- ther with the software supplied or over a browser. Pixel Short for “picture element”, the smallest unit for digital image transmission or display. PIP Picture in Picture – Where two signal sources are shown on the screen at the same time.

Used in ADSL connections, for example). PROGRESSIVE Method for displaying, storing or transmitting moving im- ages in which all the lines of each frame are drawn in se- quence. This is in contrast to the interlacing used in tradi- tional television systems. PTZ Pan-Tilt-Zoom Pan, tilt and zoom function on motor-driven cameras. RESOLUTION Normal PAL television systems show images in 576 lines, normally with 768 pixels. HDTV works with at least 1280 x 720 pixels. SCREEN SIZE Size of the display from the bottom-left corner to the top- right corner in inches or centimetres. Browser Program for viewing websites on the Internet. USB Universal Serial Bus Serial bus connection, used for connecting media whilst in operation. Maximum data rate for USB 2.0: ca. 320 Mbit/s (ca. 40 MB/s). VGA Video Graphics Array – Standard interface for analogue video signals in PCs (primarily deals with RGB signals). ZOLL (inches) Typical unit of screen size. One inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimetres. The most common sizes of 16:9 displays are 26 inch (66 cm), 32 inch (81 cm), 37 inch (94 cm), 42 inch (106 cm), 50 inch (127 cm) and 65 inch (165 cm).Internal HDD

Internal HDD The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is very sensitive. Operate the device according to the following instructions in order to avoid drive errors. Important recordings should be backed up on external media to avoid unexpected data loss.

Note Do not move the device during operation. Moisture inside the device can condense and lead to HDD malfunctions. When the device is turned on, never remove the mains plug from the socket or interrupt the power supply us- ing the safety switch. Do not move the device immediately after switching it off. To move the device, carry out the following steps:

1. Wait until OFF has been shown on the display for at least two minutes.

2. Remove the mains plug from the socket.

Data on the HDD can be lost in the event of a power failure during operation. Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)! The HDD is very sensitive. Improper use or unsuitable surroundings can damage the HDD after some years of use. This may be indicated by the playback stopping unexpectedly or visible “mosaic” effects in the image. In some circumstances, there are no prior signs of a HDD malfunction. In the event of a malfunction, no recordings can be played. The HDD must be replaced in this case.ABUS 4/8/16-channel analog digital recorder
