Panasonic Network Disk Recorder Wj Nd200 Setup Instructions

							41
Note:
When MANUAL is selected for DURATION
(recording duration), recording will be performed for
at least 8 seconds at an event occurrence as long as
the alarm is not canceled.
Important:
•Depending on the network traffic or environment,
images will not be recorded as configured (by setting
the pre-event recording rate and the recording dura-
tion).
•It is recommended to set the refresh interval of the
camera to 1 second or 4 seconds when selecting
MPEG-4 for the image compression method. When
a longer refresh interval is set, images to be record-
ed by the pre-event recording may not be recorded.
CAM SETUP
Set the recording rate for the SD memory recording for
each channel.
The following recording rates are available for SD
MEMORY REC.
OFF/0.1 ips/0.5 ips/1 ips
When OFF is selected, the SD memory recording will
not be performed for the respective channel.
Notes:
•The recording rate setting for SD MEMORY REC is
available only for cameras with the SD memory
recording function and their image compression
method is set to M-JPEG.
•The recording rate for SD MEMORY REC should
be less than the recording rate set for LIVE VIDEO.
When the camera in use is WJ-NT304, recording will
be performed at 0.2 ips even when 0.5 ips or 1
ips is selected for the recording rate for SD MEMO-
RY REC.
•When setting the recording rate for SD MEMORY
REC, make sure that Use is selected for the SD
memory card setting of the camera.
When Use is not selected or when no SD memory
card is mounted on the camera, error messages
may be displayed several times a day, and recording
may be interrupted for around 20 seconds each time
the error message is displayed.
This may also occur when the firmware of the cam-
era is older. In this case, upgrade the firmware of the
camera.
When the firmware version of the camera in use is
not the version listed below, upgrade the firmware.
Applicable cameras/firmware versions
•WV-NP244 series Ver1.20 or later
•WV-NP1000 series Ver1.20 or later

About the SD memory recording
The SD memory recording is the function of some
Panasonic’s 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.
Applicable cameras/firmware versions
•WV-NP244 series: Ver.1.20 or later
•WV-NP1000 series: Ver.1.20 or later
•WV-NS202: Ver.1.00 or later
•WV-NF284: Ver1.00 or later
•WJ-NT304: Ver1.00 or later
•WV-NW484: Ver1.00 or later
For example, when 0.1 ips is selected, the camera will
start the SD memory recording when no request for
image obtainment from the unit is made for 10 seconds
or more (equivalent to 0.1 ips*) in the time range of the
set schedule.
* The wait time to start the SD memory recording of the
camera differs depending on the set recording rate.
There are two ways to obtain recorded images from the
SD memory card; automatic obtainment by setting
schedules and manual obtainment by clicking the SD
memory data obtain button.
When time length between the set schedules is longer
than 30 minutes, images recorded by the SD memory
recording will be obtained automatically. All users will
forcibly be logged out when automatic obtainment
starts. To obtain SD memory data automatically, set
time length between the schedules longer than 30 min-
utes.
Refer to the operating instructions (PDF) for how to
obtain images manually.Important:
•The emergency recording will be performed at the
recording rate set for SD MEMORY REC on the
Emergency REC page (page 34) when commu-
nication with the camera failed during the emer-
gency recording.
•The SD memory recording will not be performed if
communication with the camera is not established
even when it reached the start time of the schedule
or when the emergency recording is triggered.
•Do not set the recording rate of the SD memory
recording for the same camera with multiple
recorders.
•Synchronize the clock of the recorder and the cam-
eras using the NTP function, etc. and set the
Daylight saving (Summertime) setting to OFF.
When they are not synchronized and have different
time clocks, the SD memory recording may not
work.
•The recording time of SD memory data will be dis-
played based on the clock of the camera.
Notes:
•All images recorded on the SD memory card may
not always be obtained at a time depending on the
time length between the schedules or the total size
of the images. Images failed to obtain can be
obtained automatically next time.
•SD memory data cannot be obtained automatically
when the following is being performed:
•Playback
•HTTP download
•Emergency recording
•External recording
•SD memory data obtainment will be interrupted
when the following operation is performed:
•Login
•Emergency recording
•External recording
•Shifting to/from summertime (daylight savings)

Notes:
•Click the [Measurement] button after setting the recording rate/transmission rate by clicking the [SET] button.
•Do not change the settings in the process of the measurement.
•In the process of the measurement, recording, playback and live image display will stop. Other users currently
accessing the unit will forcibly be logged out.
•They need to log in the unit after the measurement. The result value is the reference value.
•Depending on the network traffic, different result value may be displayed even when the [Measurement] button is
clicked without changing the settings. Depending on the network traffic or other causes, the following may occur.
•Live images are not transmitted as configured
•Images are not recorded as configured
•Response of the web browser becomes slow
•The web browser is disconnected
•Recording is not carried out
We make no guarantee for any damages incurred by recording malfunction or error occurrence regardless of
what the cause may be.
[Measurement] button
It is possible to check if the set recording rate and trans-
mission rate are available for the network in use by
clicking the [Measurement] button. It will take around 90
seconds to check. In the process of the measurement,
recording will stop. When the set rate is displayed red,
recording/transmission may be failed with the set rate.
Check if the result value (total value of the maximum
network speed of each camera) is below the maximum
network speed of the unit (30 Mbps as indication).
When the result value is beyond the maximum network
speed of the unit
(Example: 30 Mbps < 50 Mbps (result value))
When the result value is beyond the maximum network
speed of the unit (30 Mbps as indication), refer each
rate for LIVE VIDEO, MANUAL REC, SCHEDULE
REC and EVENT REC. Then, lower the higher rate
among them or lower image quality to diminish the net-
work traffic from the camera. Click the [Measurement]
button to check if the result value is below the maximum
network speed. Repeat this procedure until the result
value becomes less than 30 Mbps (as indication).
Important:
•When the result value is beyond the maximum net-
work speed of the unit, the following may occur due
to the heavy network traffic: 
•Some images to be recorded may not be done.
•Some live images to be displayed may not be
done.
•Some alarms to be issued may not be done.
•Operational response may become slow.
•Even when the result value is below the network
speed (30 Mbps as indication), the above problems
may occur depending on number of the connected
cameras and PCs. The following table shows the
reference values.
•Network traffic changes every moment. In any cir-
cumstances, the result value should be less than the
maximum network speed of the unit (30 Mbps).
