DS2 Setup Guide

DS2

Write Once Overwrite will behave in the same way as the loop record mode but will give a visual

warning to the Operator to remind them that vital information (recorded images) is about to be

overwritten and it is necessary to archive. If the alarm is ignored the unit will continue to record and

the images at the beginning of the loop will be overwritten. A warning will inform the Operator that

important information has been overwritten.

If Write Once Stop is selected the ‘marker’ will be created on the loop recording and the warning will

be displayed to say archiving is required. If this warning is ignored, all recording will stop when the

unit reaches the marker.

This is used in covert operation, where access to the recorded les can only be obtained at certain

times, and ensures vital information is never overwritten.

Reset Write Once Record

This will reset the earliest ‘Write Once’ record time and date to the current time and date. This is

necessary when archiving has been successful and the process is to restart.

To reset the Write Once record option, hold down the Camera 1 button for 5 seconds.

Allow User Reset

This option will enable an Operator menu which will allow the operator to reset the Write Once

record option. This is can be accessed from the ‘Copy Images’ screen as a submenu.

Minimum Low Disk

This sets the minimum percentage disk space available. If the Write Once storage drops below this

minimum setting, an alarm is triggered (warning will be displayed on the main monitor) which will be

cleared once more disk space becomes available.

Note:

This option is a percentage of the overall hard disk of the unit, the equivalent in Gigabytes

will be automatically calculated and displayed.

On Disk Full

This option determines what action the unit will take when the disks become full. The options are;

• Overwrite - By default, the unit will overwrite the recorded images on the hard disk. A

warning will also be displayed to inform the Operator that the disk is full.

• Stop Recording - The unit will stop recording. A warning will also be displayed.
