Considering the total process ( record-optional playback-backup-optional restore-
erase obsolete video-recycle storage media for record) of recording of the videos
for Surveillance purpose, we can come up with two different backup system
modes:
Normal Mode – The PICO2000 Digital Surveillance Recorder will record all new
video into the Fixed Hard Drive (s). As required, the operator of
the PIC2000 can backup the recorded video to an Removable
IDE drive via the Housekeeping function from the Utility Menu
The raw copy of video can optionally be deleted during the
backup process
Archive Mode- The PICO2000 Digital Surveillance Recorder will record all new
video into one of the assigned Removable IDE drive. When it is
about full, it can be removed from the recorder (system control
or physically) for additional archiving to DAT or other backup
media. The PICO2000 Digital Surveillance Recorder will
maintain continuous recording to an alternate removable drive
during the archiving operation. When the videos inside a
Removable drive is obsolete, they can be erased immediately
before video recording is resumed on this drive.
The backup system mode of the PICO2000 Digital Surveillance Recorder should
be selected at the very beginning of overall system operation. The normal backup
mode is set by default. To switched to the Archive mode, please refer to the
Backup Function of the Options Setting Menu. You will need to have two (2)
removable IDE drives configured in the PICO2000 Digital Surveillance Recorder
to support this mode of system operation. The PICO2000 application needs to be
closed and restart to apply the mode switching from each other
For all models with an "A" suffix, e.g. Model 205A/309A/413A etc, the audio
recording function can be enabled and have the recording attached to one of the
active camera. To setup audio recording, please refer to the Attaching audio to
camera of the Option Setting Menu.
Before you can activate this function, you will need to have a Sound (Capture)
board installed and properly configured to the PICO2000 Digital Surveillance
Recorder, as follows:
Click Start-> Programs-> Accessory -> Entertainment (Multimedia, for
Windows 95)-> Volume Control, Click Properties from the Options Menu.
Select the Playback check: Make sure the Microphone option is selected
from the "Show all volume control" list box. Click apply and OK, then make
sure the Microphone is Muted at Playback.
Repeat the same steps for Recording, only for this time, the Microphone (or
any other input port you may choose as an input feed to the sound board as
the recording source) is selected in this case.
You will need to adjust the volume of input and output by using the sound
recorder which is built in with the Windows 98 Operating System.
