"Log file". Viewing the Log File automatically causes reset of the error message; the error relay is de-ernergised and Error LED goes out. Refer to the manual of the respective SmartControl software for more information on log file configuration and evaluation. Tamper protection The error relay is pulled in idle - no error. Therefore the error relay can be used as tamper detector, as it automatically falls off in the event of power failure (e.g. caused by cut power lines). Depending on the error relay wiring, an interruption of the relay line itself can be reported as well. There is a theoretical possibility that tamper protection will not work if error relay switching is not consistent with the operating mode. Vista SmartDisc 02...

When commissioning a new hard disk in combination with a new configuration profile SmartDisc 02 unit, the factory settings stored in the SmartDisc 02 unit will be used for automatic configuration of the hard disk. After configuration with SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software you can save your personal device configuration in the form of a profile in a SmartDisc 02 flash memory and use this profile again, e.g. when changing hard disks, or for fast parameterisation of other hard disks. Reset the device as described in chapter "Device reset" if you want to reset the device to factory settings (see ”Device reset” on page 27). Vista SmartDisc 02...

Failure is reported for active cameras if the video signal has been disturbed for about 10 seconds. The check interval follows the respective recording interval. In the event of a faulty video signal, recheck takes place after 3 seconds. Recording is resumed after error elimination. For non recording video cameras failure will be reported after 60 seconds.

On the basis of set recording parameters, SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software calculate the required storage capacity. The calculated values are estimates, actual values may deviate due to changes in actual image data volume, proportion of motion, and selected resolution being considered. Capacity Tool Values based on practical experience can be determined with storage capacity calculation tool Capacity Tool, developed by Vista. Vista SmartDisc 02...
This method can be combined with external sensors or integrated motion permanent detection to optimise storage capacity. In this case SmartDisc 02 only recording records in the event of the respective control input being activated or in the event of motion detection detecting motion.

Later evaluation uses camera selective display. For event triggered recording, recording speed and recording duration can be specified separately for pre- and post-alarm sequences. Event triggered recording has two advantages over continuous recording: Event triggered recording with defined pre- and post-alarm sequences ■ allows for a more precise evaluation of images based on event selection. The alarm image and events before and after the alarm can be analysed directly. Event triggered recording, as a rule, only records relevant data. Evaluation ■ is therefore to the point and much faster. Vista SmartDisc 02...
