Preface

Features
The Network Disk Recorders WJ-ND300A series are designed for use within a surveillance system, and perform recordings and playbacks pictures from network cameras in the system. The network disk recorder is a recording device using a hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead of using video tapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwriting will not experience deterioration of the recorded picture quality. Up to 32 cameras can be connected via a network and it is possible to record their camera pictures. It is possible to perform the settings or operate the WJ-ND300A (this unit) using a web browser installed on a PC connected to a network. Up to 8 PCs (web browsers) can access this unit concurrently and it is possible to perform the settings and operate this unit. "WJ-ND300A" is the generic name of the network disk recorders WJ-ND300A series.
Various Recording Functions
Multi-recording It is possible to perform multiple recordings using a single network disk recorder even if the operating environments are different, for example, recording pictures of cameras in different places at different times. Schedule recording It is possible to perform recording automatically at a scheduled time on a designated day of a week. It is also possible to perform recording at a different recording rate according to time range. Emergency recording In the case of an emergency, emergency recordings will be given a higher priority than other recording modes by operating an external switch. External timer recording It is possible to perform recording automatically using an external timer. Event recording At an event occurrence, such as an alarm signal is supplied, the recording mode (quality and recording rate) can be changed to high quality to record pictures.
Downloading/Transmitting Images
It is possible to download (save) the currently displayed image in the web browser window onto the hard disk of a PC. By establishing an FTP server, it is possible to transmit images to the designated FTP server periodically. When an event occurs, it is possible to transmit images from the camera installed in the place where the alarm occurred.

Trademarks and Registered Trademarks
Adobe, Adobe logos, and Acrobat are registered trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the U.S. and/or other countries. Microsoft, Windows and Windows XP are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries. Other names of companies and products contained in these operating instructions may be trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

Abbreviations

The following abbreviations are used in these operating instructions. Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 is described as Windows 2000. Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 and Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 are described as Windows XP.
Terms Used in these Operating Instructions
HDD Refers to a hard disk drive (mass storage medium). The unit records camera pictures on a hard disk rather than on video tape. Recording rate (ips, I-Frame) Refers to the unit that determines the smootheness with which the recorded images are played back. "ips" is used to express the number of frames recorded per second. The higher the number, the smoother the movement, but the available recording time becomes shorter. "I-Frame" is used to express the refresh interval set on the camera. Resolution Resolution refers to the degree of fineness and quality of the camera pictures recorded by this unit. This unit displays the resolution in number of dots. For example, if the number of horizontal dots is 720 and the number of vertical dots is 480, the display reads 720 x 480. M-JPEG A video codec that compresses video fields from the camera into independent JPEG images sequentially by query from the unit. Network load will be reduced comparing with the method that obtains JPEG images independently from the camera. However, the transmission rate will fluctuate depending on the state of the camera. Some cameras phrase this video codec as just "JPEG". Manual recording Function for starting and stopping recording manually by clicking the recording button or recording stop button. Schedule recording Function for starting and stopping recording automatically at a preset time. Event recording Function for starting recording automatically when an event occurs. Event recordings are divided into pre recordings (pictures before the event occurs) and post recordings (pictures after the event occurs). Emergency recording Function for performing priority recording in emergency situations, etc. through an external switch connected to the unit. SD memory recording/SD memory data Function featured in some Panasonics cameras that saves images on the SD memory card on the camera when communication with the camera failed in the period set for the schedule recording of this unit. Images saved by the SD memory recording are described as "SD memory data" on these operating instructions. The recording time of SD memory data will be displayed based on the clock of the camera.

External recording mode Function for changing the programmed time schedule through an external switch connected to the unit. Event An event is a phenomenon which triggers a specific operation (event operation) in the unit. Events are divided into terminal alarm, command alarm, and site alarm. Event Action Event action refers to a specific operation performed when an event occurs. Event operations are divided into ALM (Alarm Mode), ADM (Activity Detection Mode), and are selectable. In ALM, the occurrence of an event is announced by screen display, LED, or buzzer (Alarm Operation). In ADM, the occurrence of an event is not announced, but the unit starts event recording, performs the preset operations, and enters the event into the event log. In OFF mode, the unit only enters the event into the event log. Sequence Sequence refers to automatically changing the displayed camera picture in a preset sequence. Sequence display is possible while the unit displays live pictures. Electronic zoom Function for enlarging live and playback pictures. While the camera uses the camera zoom function to enlarge pictures, the electronic zoom function enlarges the picture electronically in the unit and displays it. Camera control Camera control refers to controlling the functions of the combination cameras connected to the unit. These functions include Pan/Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Brightness, Preset Operations (moving the camera to a preset horizontal/vertical position), and Auto (for example, automatic panning). A-B repeat playback Function for playing back repeatedly between a set start point (A) and an end point (B) in playback mode. HDD safety mode Function for turning off the power supply to the HDD to prevent damage of the HDD due to vibration and shock if the unit is mounted in or dismounted from the rack with the power turned on. Disk config When an HDD is replaced, removed, or added, the HDDs need to be newly configured. Disk config refers to the menu for performing these HDD settings. RAID (RAID5) This stands for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks. It refers to a technology to implement a high-speed largecapacity and high-reliability disk unit by distributing access to multiple HDDs. If trouble occurs in one of the HDDs, the data on the faulty HDD can be recovered based on the error correction data recorded on the other HDDs. (RAID5 is used when 3 or more HDDs are connected. If trouble occurs simultaneously in 2 or more HDDs, the data of the faulty HDD cannot be recovered.) System Administrator This refers to a person who has the responsibility and authority to operate the unit and perform settings.

When displaying MPEG-4 images on a multi-screen, images from two cameras or more are displayed in sequence on a single area.

No live image is displayed.
When trying to display MPEG-4 images via Internet, images may not be displayed. MPEG-4 image display via Internet is affected by the configurations of the network devices such as a router. Refer to the network administrator for further information. When logged in with "Limited" user account of Windows operating system, images will not be displayed since the active X control may not be installed correctly. Log in with "Computer administrator" user account.
Live/recording images are not displayed.
When the image compression method of all cameras in use is not the same, performance may become lower. (Refresh of images will be unstable.) The line speed settings may be not the same between the unit and the hub, for example, 100M BASE-TX Full for the unit and 100M BASE-TX half, etc. Some hubs change the line speed automatically depending on the network traffic and it may cause configuration errors. Check the line speed settings of both the unit and the hub, and configure the line speed settings of both to conform them. The configured settings for transmission rate/recording rate may be beyond the maximum network performance. Lower the value/rate of the settings relating to the network such as the transmission rate, recording rate, etc. Are the settings of the network camera set correctly? Check the model of the set camera on the setup menu ("Camera" - "NW Camera Setup"). Cannot operate the camera. Are the user ID and the password for the network camera set correctly? Check if the user ID and password are set correctly on the setup menu ("Camera" - "NW Camera Setup").
