4 Installing a Hard Disk

To make video recordings, install a hard disk (connection type SATA, 1 TB max.) first. If necessary, install a second hard disk (also connection type SATA, 1 TB max.). To install the hard disk(s):

1) Disconnect the recorder from the power supply. Important: If the recorder is already operated with a hard disk, shut down the system of the recorder via the OSD menu (E35 chapter 17) before disconnecting the power supply.
2) Release the screws fixing the cover of the housing, then remove the cover.
3) Connect the plugs of the power supply cable (b) to the contacts of the hard disk(s) according to figure 4. Connect the data output of the first hard disk (I) via one of the data cables provided to the connection "SATA MASTER" on the PCB; connect the data output of the second hard disk (II) to the connection "DATA SLAVE".
4) Fasten the first hard disk (I) via two screws on the right to the housing. Fasten the second hard disk (II) via two screws on the left to the mounting brackets. Additionally use two screws each to fasten the two hard disks on the bottom plate.
5) Replace the cover of the housing and retighten the screws.

Notes

• If the file system of the hard disk inserted is not compatible to the file system of the recorder, the recorder will reformat the hard disk without warning. All data on this hard disk will be deleted!
  Before removing a hard disk already operated in the recorder, deactivate it via the OSD menu (E35 chapter 11.2).

5 Connecting Units

Figures 74 and 75 on the last pages of this instruction manual show an example for connection each for DMR-604 and DMR-616; however, it will not be necessary to use all of the connection possibilities shown. The connection possibilities of the DMR-608 only differ from those of the DMR-616 in the number of channels.

Before connecting any units or changing any existing connections (except for USB connections), shut down the system of the recorder via the OSD menu (13 chapter 17) and disconnect the recorder from the power supply.

5.1 Video connections

1) Connect the video outputs of the cameras to the jacks CH1-CH4 or CH1-CH8/16 (22).
2) Connect the video input of a monitor to the jack VIDEO OUT or MAIN MONITOR (21). To connect an additional monitor allowing to view individual cameras in full image display, independently of the main monitor, use the jack CALL MONITOR (31) provided on the recorders DMR-608 and DMR-616.

3) To connect a computer monitor with VGA input, use the jack VGA (20). The video signal corresponds to that at the output for the main monitor (21).

5.1.1 Selecting the video system

Set the recorder to the video system of the cameras used with the selector switch PAL/NTSC (25). When switching over during operation, the system must be restarted so that the change will become effective (13 chapter 17).

5.2 Audio connections

1) For audio recordings and/or live surveillance, the RCA input jacks AUDIO IN CH1 - CH4 (28) allow to connect, for example, the audio outputs of cameras with integrated microphones or the pre-amplifiers of microphones set up separately. The recorders DMR-608 and DMR-616 each are supplied with an adapter with RCA inline jacks for connection to the 25-pole D-Sub jack AUDIO (28).

2) For audio reproduction, the audio signal of the channel currently displayed will be available at the RCA output jack AUDIO OUT (27) on the DMR-604. Correspondingly, on the DMR-608 and DMR-616, the audio signal will be available at the jack MAIN AUDIO (27) for the output MAIN MONITOR (21) and at the jack CALL AUDIO (30) the audio signal for the output CALL MONITOR (31). Define in the operating menu if live and replay sound, live sound only or no sound will be reproduced.

To reproduce the audio recording or the live sound via a monitor with integrated speaker or via an audio system, connect one of the outputs to the audio input of the monitor or to a line input of the audio system.

5.3 Alarm and control connections

Via the D-Sub jack IO (26), the recorder offers various inputs and outputs for control and alarm evaluation.

5.3.1 Alarm inputs

As alarm sensors, use e. g. motion detectors or light barriers equipped with NO (normally open) contacts or NC (normally closed) contacts. Connect the sensors to the following contacts of the D-Sub plug supplied:

DMR-604

sensor for channel 1 to contact 5 and ground sensor for channel 2 to contact 6 and ground sensor for channel 3 to contact 7 and ground sensor for channel 4 to contact 8 and ground ground = contacts 10 - 15

DMR-608 and DMR-616

sensor for channel 1 to contact 6 and ground sensor for channel 2 to contact 7 and ground sensor for channel 3 to contact 8 and ground sensor for channel 4 to contact 9 and ground sensor for channel 5 to contact 10 and ground sensor for channel 6 to contact 11 and ground sensor for channel 7 to contact 12 and ground sensor for channel 8 to contact 13 and ground

A contact pin for ground is not provided on the jack IO. For ground connection, use, for example, the body of the plug (shielding) or the GND contacts of the jack AUDIO (28).

DMR-616

sensor for channel 9 to contact 18 and ground sensor for channel 10 to contact 19 and ground sensor for channel 11 to contact 20 and ground sensor for channel 12 to contact 21 and ground sensor for channel 13 to contact 22 and ground sensor for channel 14 to contact 23 and ground sensor for channel 15 to contact 24 and ground sensor for channel 16 to contact 25 and ground

Adjust the contact type (NO or NC) separately for each channel in the OSD menu of the recorder (R chapter 10.1).

5.3.2 Alarm output

As a floating alarm output, a relay with normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact (with a maximum load of 24V / 500mA ) is available. The alarm output allows to connect, for example, an audible or visible alarm device.

NO contact = contact 1

NC contact = contact 9 (DMR-604)

contact 14 (DMR-608 and

DMR-616)

common contact = contact 2

5.3.3 Camera remote control (DOME)

Via the RS-485 interface, remote control of suitable cameras will be possible. According to the features of the camera, movements such as pan and tilt, but also zoom, iris and automatic iris / autofocus will be controlled via the recorder.

Connect the plug contacts 3 (D+) and 4 (D-) to the corresponding contacts of the camera. It will be possible to connect another camera in parallel to the connections of the first one and a further camera to this one again, etc. until all cameras have been connected. To reduce interference, it is recommended to use twisted cables.

On the last camera, terminate the data bus by connecting the two cables via a 120 resistor (this will often be possible via a switch on the camera).

Assign an individual address to the cameras so that the recorder will be able to address them separately. This is usually made via an OSD menu or DIP switches on the camera. Make the corresponding settings on the recorder, i.e. the address to control the corresponding camera and the transmission parameters and protocol required (see chapter 12.1).

5.4 Mouse

For a more convenient operation of the recorder, connect a USB mouse with PS/2 protocol to USB port (24) or (9). This will also be possible during operation.

5.5 Computer network (LAN)

For remote control of the recorder via a computer, connect the two units via the RJ45 jack LAN (19) or link the recorder to a local computer network (e.g. via a router) or make a connection to the Internet.

Note: For direct connection to a computer, a crossover cable will be required.

5.6 Mains connection

Finally connect the power supply unit provided to the jack 12V÷ 5A (29) and connect the mains plug to a socket (100 - 240V / 47 - 63Hz)

To prevent accidental disconnection, clamp the cable leading to the recorder to the strain relief strap (23).

As a sudden power failure during operation may result in data loss and cause damage to the recorder, it is highly recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

5.7 USB storage medium

For external backup of the recordings or for transmission to a computer, it will be possible to connect, for example, a USB flash drive (flash EEPROM memory) to the USB port (9). For recognizing this external storage medium, it must be connected while the recorder is operated.

6 Operation

When the supply voltage has been applied, the recorder will be switched on. The power indication (2) will light up. The recorder will start a self-test. First, a test pattern and the results of the self-test will appear on the screen, then a split screen will be displayed showing all camera images selected for live surveillance (35 chapter 6.2.6).

To end the operation, shut down the system of the recorder via the operating menu first (F35 chapter 17) before disconnecting the recorder from its supply voltage; otherwise data loss or damage to the recorder may result.

6.1 Activating the OSD menu

To save storage space, the video signals will be compressed according to the highly efficient standard H.264 (MPEG-4 /AVC). The image quality of the recording (and thus the compression rate) will be adjustable.

It will be possible to record the camera signals permanently, according to a schedule or depending on events (automatic motion detection or signal at one of the alarm inputs). The recording status will be inserted in the lower left corner of the image displayed on the main monitor:

REC = permanent or time-controlled recording

EVENT ONLY = recording in case of events only

Additionally, the indication REc (5) on the recorder will flash to indicate recording.

8.1 Settings for recording

1) Via the main menu (fig. 29), activate the submenu Record Setup (fig. 30).

(29) Main menu: "Record Setup" selected

Submenu "Record Setup"

2) To facilitate the settings, presets for various requirements will be available via the line 3.Preset Config:

The presets 512/256/128Kbps DSL offer permanent recording of all camera channels at a constant data rate and corresponding memory requirements for each image with a fixed resolution:

PAL	720 × 288, 50 PPS
NTSC	720 × 240, 60 PPS
512Kbps DSL	4KB/image
256Kbps DSL	3KB/image
128Kbps DSL	2KB/image

For the presets Best Quality, Standard and Extended Record, the resolution will also be selectable:

PAL	720 × 576, 25 PPS	720 × 288, 50 PPS	360 × 288, 100 PPS
NTSC	720 × 480, 30 PPS	720 × 240, 60 PPS	360 × 240, 120 PPS
Best Quality	22 KB/ image	12 KB/ image	6 KB/ image
Standard	14 KB/ image	8 KB/ image	4 KB/ image
Extended Record	6 KB/ image	4 KB/ image	2 KB/ image

To select the resolution, activate the corresponding menu (fig. 31) via the line 1.Record Mode Setup.

31 Submenu "Record Mode Setup"

Define the desired resolution (pixels horizontal × vertical) in the line 1. Record Resolution.

In the line 3, Max Rec. PPS define a maximum picture rate (PPS = pictures per second) depending on the resolution. (For DMR-604, the maximum picture rate will be defined by the resolution selected.)

Note: If a change has been made in the submenu Record Mode Setup, a message requiring a system restart will appear when exiting the submenu.

For the presets mentioned above, the total picture rate will principally be divided among all input channels, regardless of whether or not there is a camera signal at an input. For the preset ezRecord, however, the memory will be used more effectively: Only the channels with a camera signal applied will be recorded. To configure this preset chapter 8.1.1.

For recording in case of alarm triggering only (by motion detection or via an alarm input), select the preset Event Only. Define the type of events and their evaluation under Alarm Functions (Chapter 10).

If no preset has been selected (OFF), it will be possible to set each camera channel individually for recording via the line 4. Per Camera Config now accessible (13 chapter 8.1.2).

3) In the line 6. Data Lifetime, define the number of days for which a recording will be available for replay. If no limit is desired for the replay time, set the value to 0Days.

Note: This setting will not affect the actual existence of a recording; it will limit the replay time intentionally. For replaying a recording made earlier, increase the value accordingly.
4) In the line 7. Circular Recording, define if the oldest data on the hard disk will be automatically overwritten (ON) and thus permanent recording will be possible. If the overwrite mode has been deactivated (OFF), the recording will stop once the hard disk(s) is (are) full and a signal will sound.
5) In the line 8. Audio Recording, define if audio signals will also be recorded (ON) or not (OFF).

8.1.1 Configuring "ezRecord"

The preset "ezRecord" allows a simple and effective setting for recording. To configure this preset:
1) Via the line 5.ezRecord Setup, activate the corresponding menu (fig. 32).

32 Submenu "ezRecord Setup"

2) In the line How Many Days To Record, define the minimum number of days for recording.
3) In the lines Daytime Record, Night Record and Weekend Record, define if normal recordings (i.e. without alarm triggering) will be made during these periods (Yes) or not (No). The periods will be defined in the recording schedule (13 chapter 8.1.3). If the option "Weekend Schedule" has been deactivated in the recording schedule, it will not be possible to set the line Weekend Record.

Depending on the capacity of the hard disk(s) installed and the preset values, the change of the other values will be calculated and displayed immediately when entering data, e.g. the average picture rate to be achieved with the presets will be displayed in the line Average Normal PPS and the corresponding quality will be displayed in the line Average Normal Quality.

Likewise, the possible recording time will be calculated immediately when the picture rate or the quality is changed.

Note: Only channels with a camera signal applied will be recorded. Calculations in this submenu will be based on the cameras currently connected. It is therefore recommended to repeat the setting in this submenu when the number of cameras connected is changed.

8.1.2 Configuring individual camera channels

If none of the presets for recording is the optimum solution for the application, it will be possible to configure the camera channels individually for recording. For this purpose, select the option OFF in the line 3.Preset Config.

1) Via the line 4. Per Camera Config, activate the corresponding submenu (fig. 33).

33) Submenu "Per Camera Config"

2) In the line Camera Select, select the channel of the camera to be adjusted.
3) In the line Normal PPS, define the picture rates (pictures per second) for the normal recording mode. The columns Day, Night and Weekend refer to the periods defined in the recording schedule (85 chapter 8.1.3). If the option "Weekend Schedule" has been deactivated in the recording schedule, the values in this column will be insignificant. Set the picture rate to 0 if a camera signal is not to be recorded in the normal mode (only in case of alarm).

In the line Normal Qlty, select the quality of the video signal in the normal mode. With increased quality (Low Fair Mid High Best), the required memory space will also increase.

4) In the line Event Max PPS, define the maximum picture rates for the recording mode in case of alarm. The actual picture rate for recording a channel will depend on the number of channels recorded simultaneously in case of alarm.

In the line Event Q1ty, select the quality for recording the video signal in case of alarm. With increased quality (Low Fair Mid High Best), the required memory space will also increase.

5) In the line Event Act, define the type of event triggering an alarm recording.

Motion motion detection

Alarm signal at an alarm input

Both motion detection or signal at an alarm input

None no alarm recording

The type of event triggering an alarm recording also depends on the settings in the submenu "Event Setup" (43 chapter 10).

Note: The total amount of picture rates for all channels may be the total picture rate as a maximum, i.e. before increasing the picture rate of a channel in normal mode, it may be necessary to decrease the picture rate of another channel. In case of alarm, the channel with the event triggering the alarm will take priority. The remaining picture rate will be divided among the channels recording normally.

8.1.3 Defining the recording schedule

For the recording preset "ezRecord" and for the individual recording configuration of the camera channels it will be necessary to define the recording times.

1) Via the line 2. Schedule Setup, activate the corresponding menu (fig. 34).

16.1.2 Configuring DDNS

For remote access, the IP address of the recorder must be known. However, many Internet service providers change it each time a connection is made (dynamic IP address). To solve this problem, use a DDNS server, i.e. a network service offered by several service providers. The recorder will be addressed via a subdomain of the DDNS server.

The use of a DDNS server will usually be configured in the router connecting the recorder to the Internet, but will also be possible with the recorder. For this recorder, the manufacturer's own DDNS server will be available.

Each time a connection is made, the router or recorder will send its current IP address to the DDNS server which will store it and accordingly route any queries made to the subdomain to the recorder.

To configure the recorder for using the manufacturer's own DDNS server:

1) In the submenu Network Setup (fig. 58), activate the corresponding submenu (fig. 62) via the line 6.DDNS Setup.

Submenu "DDNS Setup"

3) In the line 2. Host Name, enter the desired name for the recorder.

The name of the subdomain to address the recorder will be:

"http://[Host Name].ddns.iviaew-ddns.com"

When using several recorders, each recorder will require its own subdomain.

4) To make a connection to the DDNS server, select the option Yes in the line 4. Submit/Update.
5) To make it easier to log in to the DDNS server of the manufacturer, use the function ezDDNS. The "Host Name" will be assigned automatically. To start this function, select the option Yes in the line 5.ezDDNS.

Note: To execute this function, connect the recorder to the Internet via a "real" (public) IP address entered manually or assigned by a DHCP server or by port forwarding via a router.

16.2 Remote control via the programs Windows Internet Explorer or CMS

Via the network, the programs Windows Internet Explorer(IE) or the CMS (Central Management System) provided will be able to access the recorder in order to display live images of the cameras or to replay recordings, regardless of the view selected on the recorder. Furthermore, it will be possible to change settings of the recorder.

The computer used should meet the following minimum requirements:

18.1 Recording capacity

The tables below list the maximum recording times depending on the video system selected, the resolution selected, the storage capacity of the integrated hard disks, the picture rate and quality selected. They are based on permanent video recording without audio recording.

The values in the tables are based on tests and are guideline values. The actual recording capacity may vary since the compression rate of the data will depend, among other things, on the image contents of the video signals.

When recording the audio signals, e. g. for 8 channels, an additional storage capacity of approx. 8 Kbps (corresponding to 0.7 GB per day) will be required.
