Description of Functions 
Outline of Functions
The recorder can record high-definition images (mega pixel camera
images) in SXGA (1280 x 960) JPEG four times that of the existing
VGA (640 x 480). This makes it possible to record a wide angle of
view and to zoom in without fuzziness to check things.
You can install up to 9 HDDs to record high-quality images for long
periods of time. Plus, you can add up to 5 extension units.
Replacement is Easy 
You can install and remove HDDs by opening the front panel.
If more than two HDDs are installed, replacement can be done
without stopping recording. Instructions are shown on the LCD to
reduce misoperations, and make maintaining and replacing HDDs
easy.
Use the special HDD canister provided to install the HDD. 
The HDD unit is an HDD that is in the special canister. The HDD
units can be easily installed or removed from the HDD bay slots
inside the front cover. 
* Contact your dealer for information on purchasing and replacing
HDDs.
The HDDs in the recorder are virtually divided in the 4 image areas
shown below (refer to the Setup Instructions (PDF file)).
You can set only one area for each HDD. 
(1) Normal Recording Area
Area for recording except events. 
Manual recording/schedule recording/SD memory data 
(2) Event Recording Area 
Area for recording when events occur. 
Post-event recording/emergency recording 
(3) Pre-event Recording Area
Area for pre-event recording. 
(4) Copy area
Area where copied data is saved. 
Note:
The HDD provided in the recorder at the factory is initialized as
normal recording area. Unformatted HDDs inserted into the
recorder are automatically initialized as normal recording area.
Recording/playback is not possible if only the Pre-event
Recording Area and the Copy Area are created. Create either
one normal recording area or event recording area. 
If a normal recording area is not created, manual and schedule
recordings are recorded to the event recording area. Also, if an
event recording area is not created, event and emergency
recordings are recorded to the normal recording area.
