0.3 ips/0.5 ips/1 ips
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.
• When the camera in use is WJ-NT304, recording will
be performed at 0.2 ips even when 0.5ips or 1ips
is selected for the recording rate for SD MEMORY
REC.
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. For example, when 0.1 ips is selected for the record-
ing rate for SD MEMORY REC, images will be record-
ed on the SD memory card on the camera if no request
(image inquiry) is made from the unit to the camera in
the period of 10 seconds (equivalent to 0.1 ips*) or more
during the time range set for a schedule. 
* The start time of the SD memory recording differs
depending on the set recording rate.
There are two ways to obtain recorded images from the
SD memory card; automatic obtainment by adjusting
time length between 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 minutes.
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 window when communication
with the camera failed during the emergency record-
ing.
• 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
recording or when the emergency recording is trig-
gered.
• Do not set the recording rate of the SD memory
recording for the same camera with multiple
recorders.
• The recording time of SD memory data will be
recorded based on the clock of the camera. To pre-
vent a time contradiction, match the clocks of the
camera and the WJ-ND300 using the NTP function,
and set to OFF for the summer time (daylight sav-
ings) function of the camera.
Note:
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.

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, live image display and copying 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 this button. It will take around 90 seconds to
check. In the process of measurement, recording and
copying will stop. 
When the set rate is displayed red, recording/transmis-
sion 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 (50 Mbps as indication).
When the result value is beyond the maximum network
speed of the unit (50 Mbps as indication) 
(Example: 50 Mbps < 60 Mbps (result value))
When the result value is beyond the maximum network
speed of the unit (50 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 50 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.
•The main unit may restart.
•Even when the result value is below the network
speed (50 Mbps as indication), the above problems
may occur depending on number of the connected
cameras and PCs.
•Network traffic changes every moment. In any cir-
cumstances, the result value should be less than the
maximum network speed of the unit (50 Mbps).
