DS2 Setup Guide

DS2

• Scheduled - It is possible to force the unit to archive images at a scheduled time daily.

• Polled - This will set the unit to activate archive download at regular intervals. The

parameter, in minutes, is the time between the end of one archive download to the start of

the next.

• Manual only - The archive action will only commence when the User initiates the action by

pressing the Download on Demand.

• On Connection - This will automatically start the archive download when the unit detects the

archive destination is present (CD/DVD or network).

• On Full CD/DVD - This will automatically start the archive process when the Archive List

contains sufcient data that would ll a CD/DVD (CD/DVD only).

Note:

A CD/DVD must be inserted in the writer if the archive destination is set to CD/DVD.

Clear Video Protection

If the recorded images have been protected, this option will automatically remove the protection

from the images once they have been successfully downloaded. The images on the hard drive can

then be overwritten.

Watermark Partition

This enables a watermark to be generated for each image partition and stored in a text le which will

be downloaded with the video images to the archive destination.

The watermark is logged in the archive log le.

Download on Demand

If a manual download option has been selected, highlighting this option will start the download

process. A screen prompt will warn that the FTP download process will commence when the unit

receives conrmation.

Record Mode

The record mode option allows the unit to be congured to either Standard Loop recording (default)

or Write Once recording.

Loop Record Mode

This is the default setting for the unit and identies how the unit stores images on the internal hard

drives. The recorded images will be saved on the hard disk in a ‘loop’. Once the hard disk reaches

maximum capacity, the images that were stored at the start of the ‘loop’ will be automatically

overwritten with the latest recordings (unless protected).

Images at the beginning of the record cycle will only be available for a set period of time before they

are overwritten by more recent recordings.

There are a number of parameters within the menu that can be used to identify when the internal

hard disk will reach maximum capacity and images will start to be overwritten. These can be used to

ensure images are archived before the unit returns to the beginning of the ‘loop’.

Write Once Record Mode

When the ‘Write Once’ option is selected, the system creates a marker on the loop recording to mark

the start of the write once record mode.

There are two record operations in the ‘Write Once’ mode; Overwrite and Stop.
