1) The NSR-1050H is standard equipped with an NSBK-A16 analog encoder board, but the NSR-1200/1100 requires an optional NSBK-A16 expansion.

Note

With two monitors connected to the NSR, you can perform settings and monitoring operations on monitor 1 and hot spot monitoring on monitor 2.

Control compatible cameras from remote locations

You can pan, tilt, and perform zoom operations of compatible cameras.

Compatible with analog cameras

You can monitor and record images from analog cameras by connecting them directly to the unit ^1) .

1) The NSR-1200/1100 requires an NSBK-A16 (optional) expansion, while the NSR-1050H has a built-in connector.

Large-capacity hard disks allow recording for long periods of time

Equipped with large-capacity hard disks, the unit is capable recording high-quality images for extended periods of time. For reference examples, see “Reference Data for Installation” (page 11).

Slim type (2U), space-saving 19-inch rack mounting model

With the optional rack mounting kit (sold separately), the unit can be installed in a standard universal pitch EIA 19-inch rack.

High-resolution up to 480 fps (VGA, JPEG) recording

The NSR-1200 can support up to 64 cameras, the NSR-1100 can support up to 32 cameras, and the NSR-1050H can support up to 20 cameras. The NSR-1200 records images at a total frame rate of 480 fps ^1) (240 fps with the NSR-1100, 120 fps with the NSR-1050H) in VGA resolution (640 × 480 pixels) ^2) and JPEG image format (1 frame about 31 KB) for a crisp image quality.

1) Maximum frame rate when 16 cameras are connected to the recorder. Each camera has a frame rate of approximately 30 fps. This frame rate may become less because of fragmentation on the internal hard disks. Values are based on Sony measurements. These values are not guaranteed, as performance may change due to the user's operating environment.

2) In QuadVGA resolution (1,280 × 960) , the frame rate is 1/4 that of VGA resolution.

High reliability

The NSR-1200 supports RAID 5 ^1) and performs with high reliability. The system can continue functioning even if one of the hard disks develops a malfunction. Similarly, because the system software and settings are stored on the internal flash memory of the NSR, if the system software develops a malfunction, lightning-quick restoration of the system is possible. The NSR also supports uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) ^2) , making them extremely reliable systems.

1) RAID 5 is a system for dividing and storing data and parity (error correcting codes) onto more than one hard disk drive. Although this system allows continued operation should one of the hard disks malfunction, it does not guarantee restoration of lost data. In addition, due to high internal processing loads during reconstruction after you replace the malfunctioned hard disk, the unit may not be able to record images at the configured recording rate while reconstruction is in progress.

2) If the power turns off suddenly during operation, the data may be corrupted. In particular, when using the unit together with an NSRE-S200 or other expansion storage, use a UPS.

Other features

- You can display the images from up to 64 cameras (8 × 8 images) on one screen.

- The NSR is capable of manual, scheduled, and alarm recording, among others.

- The NSR is equipped with a motion detection function ^1) (Video Motion Detection (Recorder)).

- Run searches for recorded images by camera name, date, alarm, and other methods.

- Create privacy zones by using the dynamic masking functions ^2) . Dynamic masking covers pan, tilt, and zoom.

- Precise alarm processing is made possible by performing the various types of filtering ^3) that use the image processing results sent from the camera in the form of object information metadata. Because filtering can be applied to metadata that has already been recorded, you can also search for areas of interest after recording is finished.

- Audio recording and playback ^4) are also supported from compatible cameras.

1) Some functions are limited depending on the number of cameras connected.
2) Some functions are limited depending on which camera models are connected.
3) To perform motion detection and object detection using metadata, a camera that supports motion detection by metadata is required. The use of metadata is supported for up to 32 cameras.
4) Optional audio amplifiers or speakers are required.

• S N C - C S 2 0
• SNC-CM120
• S N C - D S 1 0
• SNC-DM110
• S N C - D S 6 0
• SNC-DM160

Flow when Using SNC-CS20/CM120/DS10/DM110/DS60/DM160

When using any of the above cameras, first select the combination of functions to use, and then configure various settings. First, you must select a combination of functions and then perform the setup. When you select the combination of functions, the setting range for each item is determined automatically. Therefore, it is important to select the combination of functions carefully according to the intended use of the camera.

graph TD
    A["1 Select the combination of functions to use"] --> B["2 Configure the necessary settings in each setup screen"]
    B --> C["3 Start operation"]

Caution

• The available settings and setting value ranges will vary depending on the function combination. Be sure to configure the settings to match the intended operation.
  Example 1: When a certain codec is used, the motion detection function will not be available. Choose a combination with this codec only if motion detection function settings are not required.
  Example 2: When a combination with an available setting value range of 1 to 50 has been selected, the available range on the respective setup screens will be limited to 1 to 50 even if the camera setting range is 1 to 100.
• Be sure to select the function combination first and then configure the settings. If you select or change the function combination after starting to configure settings, the available ranges for values will also change depending on the function combination, which may lead to earlier settings being altered.

Example: 70 was selected for an item with an available range of 1 to 100, but the available range later became 1 to 50 because of a function combination change, and the setting was altered to 25.

- After changing a setting, be sure to check all settings before starting operation. If the changed value is within the available range, there will be no problem, but if it is out of range, the setting will automatically be changed to a value within the range.

Configuring Motion Detection Settings

Motion detection is a function for detecting motion and objects from camera images or camera image metadata. In NSR, you can set one of the following types of motion detection functions for each device.

• VMD (Recorder) (page60)
This is NSR's own motion detection function.
• VMD (Camera) (page62)
This a function that uses a camera to detect motion and objects.
- VMF (page65)
This is a function that uses metadata to detect motion.

Note

Although both a camera and NSR are equipped with motion detection functions, you can reduce the load on the NSR system by using the motion detection function of the camera (VMD [camera]). Decide which one to use in accordance with the number of cameras registered and the operation configuration for recording and monitoring.

About Motion Detection and Object Detection

What is Motion Detection?

A function for detecting moving objects (such as people or cars).

What is Object Detection?

This function for detecting when a moving object has stopped (unattended) or when an object has moved from its original position (removed).

What is Motion Detection by Camera Image Metadata?

A function for detecting specific motion phenomena by applying a Video Motion Filter (VMF), consisting of motion detection criteria, to the motion-related metadata generated within the camera (no images are used, as detection is performed by metadata only). With motion detection by metadata, motion can be detected not only by metadata delivered in real time from the camera but also by recorded metadata.

Caution

• When using the motion detection function, be sure to test it before operation.
• Object detection requires at least approximately 40 second initialization period before starting. Also, moving objects that have remained still for at least approximately 40 seconds are regarded as unattended.

* Metadata includes time and camera information, and location, type, and status of motion.

Notes

• To perform motion detection and object detection using metadata, a camera that supports motion detection by metadata is required.

- When using VMF motion detection with the [Existing] filter type, the alarm state is maintained after object detection for as long as the object continues to be present. As a result, if a second alarm is triggered in this state, alarm recording will not start. When you want NSR to record the second alarm, select [Event Start] in the schedule settings (page 84). This ensures that everything is recorded during the alarm period, including the second alarm.

- When object detection metadata is processed, the object detection status is maintained for approximately three hours after detection, but the VMF detection status is cleared after approximately ten seconds.

- A VMF package can only process the live camera image of one camera at a time.

- When metadata is recorded, either motion detection metadata or object detection metadata is selected, based on the VMF being applied at the time. The order of priority is determined as follows:

①If something has been specified in the alarm recording schedule, priority is determined by whether the VMF package is for motion detection or object detection.
②If a VMF package is not specified, priority is determined based on the default package.
③If a default package is not specified either, the metadata is recorded as motion detection metadata.

Caution

Object detection requires an approximately 40 second initialization period before starting. Also, moving objects that have remained still for approximately 40 seconds are regarded as unattended. These times may be extended depending on the circumstances.

• Data Overwriting (page 73)

Delete data from the oldest automatically, regardless of how many days it has been stored, to ensure storage space is always available.

- Cleanup (page 74)

Set the number of days to store recording data, and automatically delete data that exceeds that number of days.

- Deleting Manually (page 122)

Specify recording data for deletion manually.

Data Overwriting

Delete data from the oldest automatically, regardless of how many days it has been stored, to ensure storage space is always available. You can set overwriting for each recording location.

Caution

• Estimate enough storage space to record the images you want to save before you configure the minimum value.
• When the data overwrite function is enabled and a file currently being played back falls under the conditions for deletion, playback of that file stops and the file is deleted.
• If data overwriting is performed for the recording data of a normal recording, multiple files within one record will be deleted at one time, which may result in only the recording of a certain camera being deleted at one time. Configuring the following setting allows you to more uniformly delete the recording data of multiple cameras.

– In the recurrent schedule of the normal recording, insert at least a 1-second break each day.

Configuring Recording Schedules

You can configure a recording schedule for each camera or group to perform recording at regular intervals, and start recording when an alarm or event occurs.

There are the following types of schedule.

- Schedule Recording (Normal Recording)

This records images from cameras at regular intervals according to the set schedule.

- Alarm Recording

This begins recording only when an alarm occurs within the time set for the schedule.

- Event Recording

This begins recording only when an event occurs within the time set for the schedule.

You can use the following procedures to configuring schedules.

- Configuring Schedules with Automatic Camera Registration (page 77)

Configure an automatic recording schedule with conditions that have been provided in advance.

- Configuring Schedules Manually (page 79)

You can manually configure the durations for performing schedule recording, alarm recording, and event recording. The duration setting methods are “recurrent schedule,” which allows you to repeat schedules weekly, and “date & time schedule,” which allows you to specify specific dates and times to run schedules.

- Configuring Alarm Recording/Event Recording (page 81)

You can configure an alarm recording/event recording to begin recording only when an alarm or event occurs within the duration configured for the schedule.

Caution

Before you set alarm recording or event recording, configure the inputs that will be the alarm triggers and the motion detection function. For the setting procedure, refer to “Configuring Motion Detection Settings” (page 59) and “Configuring Sensor Inputs” (page 86).

Record Segmenting in Continuous Long-term Recording

When you record continuously over a long period (such as from 00:00 to 24:00 every day for a long time), the number of configuration files for a record may exceed 10,000^1 . When this happens, the record is segmented, and subsequent data is recorded as a new record. If a record is

segmented, it will be displayed as a different record in searches and the like.

1) The number 10,000 is the total number of files since recording started. It includes files that are deleted with the cleanup and data overwrite functions.

The time period segmented will differ depending on the frame rate and resolution.

Example:

Conditions Codec:		JPEG
	Resolution:	VGA
	Frame rate:	10 fps
	Image quality:	50%
Time until segmentation Approx. 19 days

When recording continuously over long periods, we recommend segmenting the record by setting a recording schedule that inserts a 1-second recording break each day. For details, refer to “Configuring Schedules Manually” (page 79).

Configuring Schedules with Automatic Camera Registration

Configure an automatic recording schedule with the following conditions that have been provided in advance. Automatic camera registration allows you to configure automatic recording for schedule recording and alarm recording.

About Relationship Between Sensor and Camera when Alarm Occurs

When [Record by each event]:

The input pin of the selected camera itself triggers the beginning of recording.

For example, if camera A and camera B are selected as the cameras for recording images, and motion detection of camera A and sensor input of camera B are configured as the triggers, recording begins on camera A when motion detection occurs for camera A, and recording begins on camera B when sensor input turns on for camera B.

Recording begins on a camera whose input pin turns on.

    C["Group of people"] --> D["Camera"]
    E["Person with monitor"] --> F["Camera"]
    G["Person with phone"] --> H["Camera"]
    I["Person with printer"] --> J["Camera"]

When [Record by selected event]:

All set input pins are configured as triggers to begin recording. Recording begins on all selected cameras regardless of which input pin turns on. For example, if camera A and camera B are selected as the cameras for recording images, and motion detection of camera A and sensor input of camera B are configured as the triggers, recording begins on both cameras even when motion detection occurs for camera A and even when sensor input turns on for camera B.

Recording begins on all selected cameras regardless of which input pin turns on.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting your retailer or a Sony Support Center, please check the following items. If the problem persists, contact them.

The NSR does not work.

• Verify that the power switch is turned on.
• Verify that the power cable is connected correctly.
• Make sure the wall outlet has power. Test it by plugging another device.
• Verify that the hard disk drives are not being accessed (the HDD LEDs on the front of the recorder do not blink), and then turn it off forcibly by pressing and holding the power switch at the rear of the unit for approximately 10 seconds. Restart the NSR.
• During the startup procedure, the NSR checks the file system. The length of this check varies depending on the amount of data on the NSR (in some extreme case, it can take as long as two hours). During the file system check, the HDD LEDs on the front of the recorder blink.
• If the NSR does not start correctly, the following screen may appear.

NSR DOM Menu

1. HDD Restore
2. DOM Restore
3. Software Restore
4. Reboot the system
5. Shutdown the system

Enter your choice :

When it does, proceed as follows.

1. Select "5. Shutdown the system," and press the Enter key.
2. Referring to “Cannot access the hard drive.”, verify whether the NSR hard disks are correctly connected.
3. Restart the NSR and verify whether it starts.

The monitor remains blank.

• Verify whether the NSR is on.
• Verify whether the power cord is correctly connected.
• Verify whether the monitor cable is correctly connected. Confirm that the monitor is connected to monitor connector 1.

- If you configure the wrong monitor resolution, the “Out of range” message may appear when the monitor resolution is too low compared to the monitor output. Press CTRL+ALT+MINUS SIGN as many times as necessary to lower the resolution of the output video. When the output image resolution reaches the resolution of the monitor, the image appears. Subsequently, reconfigure your monitor resolution. For details, refer to the User’s Guide (PDF).

The monitor connected to the HDMI connector does not display properly.

- If you switch the input for the HDMI monitor or reconnect the cable, images may not display properly in some cases. In such cases, try the following.

1. Switch the input for the monitor.
2. Restart the monitor.

Note

If the problem persists after performing the above, disconnect the HDMI cable and continue operation with the analog RGB monitor. When it is convenient to stop operation, restart the unit and try reconnecting the HDMI monitor.

The new external hardware is not working properly.

- Make sure the cables for the new external device are firmly connected and the pins are not bent.

An external device connected to a USB connector does not work.

- When you connect a USB device to the unit, the [ERROR] lamp at the bottom right of the “Main” screen may light. Perform the following to confirm whether the unit supports the USB device.

1. Click the [ERROR] lamp. The System Log appears.

2. Confirm whether the “Unsupported USB device” error appears in the System Log. If “Unsupported USB device” appears, the unit does not support the USB device.

3. This unit supports standard USB 2.0 Mass Storage devices. Depending on the type of USB 2.0 Mass Storage device, however, errors may occur when writing data to the device. If errors occur when writing data, use a USB memory device of a different type.

4. To ensure proper operation of USB devices, do not connect the devices via a USB hub. Connect the devices directly to the USB connectors on the unit. Operation is not guaranteed when devices are connected via a USB hub, USB switch, or extension cable.
5. Refer to the documentation that came with the USB device.

System cannot read the DVD/CD information.

• Make sure that you are using the correct type of disc.
• Make sure the DVD/CD is properly inserted in the drive.
• Check if the DVD/CD is clean and not scratched.

The DVD/CD tray cannot be ejected.

• Make sure that the NSR is turned on.
• Slowly insert the tip of a pen or paperclip into the eject hole on the DVD/CD drive. Pull the tray out from the drive then remove the disc.

The NETWORK LED does not light up.

- Check the cabling and network equipment for the proper connection.

Cannot access the hard disk drive.

• Make sure the hard disk drive is properly inserted.
• Check the HDD LEDs on the front panel of the system. When a hard disk malfunctions, the LED of the corresponding hard disk lights in amber.
• Due to rapid flashing during frequent access to the hard disk drive, the HDD LED may appear unlit in bright environments.

Cannot access NSR from a remote client.

• Make sure the NSR is operating properly (there should be no abnormalities with the hard disk drive, network, software or other items).
• Make sure that the central server settings for the unit are correct.
• Make sure the correct user name, password, and connection port are set in RealShot Manager Advanced.
• Refer to the troubleshooting section of the user's guide for the RealShot Manager Advanced.

The NSR heats up quickly

- Make sure that nothing is blocking the ventilation openings on the front, sides, and rear of the unit and dust has not accumulated in them.
