  • Page 20: T408 Vehicle Kit

    The following instructions are based on the Timespace X200 DVR, therefore some measurements will vary slightly from the X300 – see INSTALLATION page of this manual for exact X300 mechanical data. For use in mobile installations subject to shock and vibration. Please adhere to the following instructions for the installation of the Vehicle Kit.
  • Page 21 Mounting Hole Location The mounting holes must be drilled on 126mm and 88mm centres. Total Mounting Volume Required It is necessary to allow a minimum clearance of at least 15mm around the body of the X200 when mounted on the T408 Vehicle Kit. This is to allow free movement of the X200 on the anti vibration mounts and to prevent collision with either the enclosure or peripheral systems due to vertical and lateral movement under extreme shock and vibration conditions.
  • Page 22 Cable Installation Please note that when installing cables to the rear of the X200 it is important not to arrange or clamp them in such a way as to impede the free movement of the rear anti-vibration mounts. Installation Procedure It is advised that some form of thread-lock compound should be used on the screws securing the wire rope mounts to both the X200 and mounting surface.
  • Page 23 Orientation of Unit The X200 should be mounted in the following horizontal orientation. This is strongly advised for maximum vibration and shock isolation. If it is not possible to mount the X200 in the horizontal orientation then the following vertical orientation may be used.

    GPS and other meta data are stored in these files. The X300 stores XBA files on the cartridge in a loop over the physical disk and does not use a fragmented file structure. The X300 uses a linking mechanism (FAT area) for PC compatibility. This compatibility conforms to the Microsoft standard FAT32 filesystem that is compatible on all PC‟s and many other systems.

    AUDIO The X300 has two line-level audio input and output channels via a 5 pin DIN connector on the rear panel. The two input channels record in Stereo and can be assigned to different recording modes e.g. Normal Record, Timer Record and Alarm Record.

  • Page 31: Pc Access Precautions

    The X300 file system uses a standard FAT32 linked index so that a PC can read the contents. The PC will access the cartridges in a different way to the X300. The X300 will not be able to read every FAT32 file system written by the PC and it is therefore important to restrict what the PC does to the file system.

  • Page 32: Watermark

    "magic number" or hash code from the data. A hash code is created automatically by the X300 every ¼ of a second for each ¼ second of data. Each hash is then passed though an encryption function and then stored in the file.

    The GPS receiver is connected to X300 through the RS232 port. The diagram below shows the 9 way D-type connector viewed from the back of the X300 and details those pins to be used for the serial data connection and the +5V supply to the GPS receiver.

  • Page 34: Remote Operation (Gsm / Lan / Wifi / 3G)

    A GSM modem can be connected to the Serial port on the X300 and used to dial in to the X300 to view live camera images and configure the X300 menu settings. SMS messages can be configured to send texts alerts for example on an Alarm input or Motion Detection.
  • Page 35 In addition to the RS232 support, the X300 provides a Telnet interface over TCP/IP. The same command set detailed in the RS232 section can be used over ethernet using the Telnet protocol. PCLink Remote features include; Live View, Playback, Configuration. A brief overview of the applications included in PCLink Suite can be found on the PCLink Suite page of this manual.

    GSM control cannot be performed at the same time as external control. Connect the X300 RS232 port to a PC using a serial cable. Some modern PCs do not come with a serial port, you can however use a USB Serial Adaptor. Two adaptors that we have tested here are: ...
  • Page 37 There may be a need for a hold off time between certain commands (e.g 10 mS), as the X300 may take a finite time to do certain tasks. To add delay you could simply put spaces between one command and the next and these are ignored.

  • Page 42: X300 Menu System

    X300 MENU SYSTEM The X300 is configured using a tiered menu system. There are two top level menus through which all features and settings are configured. The MAIN MENU relates to the Recording functions, files and video output: The SETTINGS MENU is where the X300 and any connected equipment are configured: Each menu, feature and setting is detailed in the following pages.

  • Page 43: Main Menu

    MAIN MENU Recording modes in order of priority are: 1) SHOT RECORDING 2) ALARM RECORDING 3) TIMER RECORDING 4) NORMAL RECORDING SD RECORDING can be running in parallel to any of the above recording modes. MOTION DETECTION is used as a trigger to start one of the recording modes. It isn‟t a recording mode on its own.

  • Page 44: Normal Recording

    Therefore 4 cameras were setup at 5IPS each, but one was SUPD1 RES, then the total IPS used would be 25. REC SPECIFIED CAMS - This sets the X300 to record the cameras in the manner specified e.g. in the above image; CAM1 25ips HIGH and CAMS2-4 5ips HIGH. The alternative setting is REC CONNECTED CAMS which would only record the cameras that the X300 has detected as being connected.
  • Page 45 During timer recording the settings in this menu apply. WHEN TIMER STOPS: At the end of a period of Timer recording the X300 can either stop recording or record in Normal record mode. The latter can be used if two recording styles are required based on time.

  • Page 46: Alarm Recording

    PRE and POST TRIGGER options will only function with ALARM recording mode. The X300-04 has 4 alarm inputs and 3 outputs on the rear panel screw terminal block. The X300-16 has 8 alarm inputs and 3 outputs on the two 25 way D-type connectors.

  • Page 47: Alarm Inputs

    No highlight indicates the state is open. Use the left and right menu buttons to toggle the ACTIVE state between CLOSED and OPEN. The FUNCTION defines the action of the X300 when the selected alarm input is active. The function is active for the duration of the alarm (plus post trigger time if selected): –...

  • Page 48: Alarm Output

    This menu sets the conditions for the Alarm outputs. This determines whether the X300 alarm output goes closed or open when any of the set conditions are met. The X300 has three outputs; LED1 (LD1), LED2 (LD2) and ALARM OUT (ALM).

  • Page 49: Alarm Cycler

    ALARM CYCLER The ALARM CAMERA CYCLER function can be used as a test/auditing function to cycle through the cameras and health page.

    SD CARD FILE COPY FILE COPY is used to copy recorded files from the X300 cartridge to the SD card. Enter the start/end date & time of the period you wish to copy and then move the cursor down to COPY FILES.

  • Page 53: Shot Recording

    SHOT RECORDING This menu controls the configuration of single/multi shot recording. Shot recording allows a defined number of shot (images) to be recorded from an alarm input. Shot recording occurs the instant the alarm becomes active. The duration of the alarm input signal does not affect shot recording in any way.

  • Page 54: Motion Detection

    MASK VIEW/EDIT allows the area of each camera to be defined using a moveable and variable size box cursor. NB Any areas you set to be included/excluded will be saved to the X300 and maintained even after a reboot. The on screen cursor however will default in the middle of the MASK VIEW/EDIT camera view after each reboot.

  • Page 55: Pre-Motion Rate Recording

    PRE-MOTION RECORDING (PMR) - Pre motion recording feature enables a user to configure the X300 to record files at a lower IPS during non motion periods, then increase the IPS when recording is triggered by motion. In this instance, a file may consist of low ips, then higher ips, then low ips footage as the motion trigger is set on/off.
  • Page 56 The X300 is configurable so that the line-level input range can be set from 0.12 - 2.0Vrms (sensitivity). When recording, the INPUT LEVELS will be shown as a percentage so the X300 can be setup to avoid clipping. The sensitivity configuration will be dependent on the environment of the installation.
