Note :

Do not connect LAN1 to the internet. If the internet is busy or the relay equipment fails, you may not be able to save important camera images. To maintain full recording capacity, it is recommended that a dedicated network be used. Be sure to connect the LAN1 camera network to the same segment. (Do not use the address translation of NAT and NAPT etc. or a router.)

If you connect LAN2 to the internet from a surveillance computer, you will need to configure IP Masquerading.

Communication between LAN1 and LAN2 is not possible. Nor is it possible to configure a camera connected to LAN1 from the surveillance computer connected to LAN2. In order to configure a camera connected to LAN1, it is necessary to connect the computer for configuring cameras to LAN1.

LAN1 and LAN2 are incompatible with QoS. Sound may not be played normally depending on the condition of the circuit.

The default LAN1 IP address is 192.168.0.253 and the default LAN2 IP address is 192.168.1.253. To change the address, use [OS Setting] (A Page 73).

In VR-N900U, analog input circuitry is considered as a network encoder (IP video server) and the IP address is set to 192.168.201.12 by default. When altering the IP address of LAN1 and LAN2, specify an address (different segment) other than 192.168.201.0 to 192.168.201.255. Also make sure that the same segment is not specified for LAN1 and LAN2. (VR-N900U)

When a single network camera is registered with multiple units of VR-N1600U/VR-N1600E/VR-N900U, recording may not be properly completed in some cases. Camera control (e.g. PTZ control) may also become unstable. It is recommended that a single VR-N1600U/VR-N1600E/VR-N900U be used for registering one IP camera as well as for controlling PTZ operations.

Do not connect a broken hub, router or deteriorated network cable etc. Doing so may prevent the system from operating properly.

Connection to a keyboard is not recommended.

Clock Display

This unit comes with a clock display feature.

You can display the current time on the screen.

1 Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button, and press the [2/D] keypad button at the same time

The clock is displayed at the top left corner of the screen beside the performance meter.

Memo :

To turn the clock display off, press the [2/D] keypad button while holding down the [FUNCTION] button.

To move the clock display position, left click and drag the clock display to the desired position.

Performance Meter

This unit comes with a performance meter, which allows you to check its load on the meter.

At high operating loads, the system may not be able to record at the preset frame rate or operate normally.

1 Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button, and press the [1/ ] keypad button at the same time

The performance meter appears on the screen.

Green Yellow Red

Load factor of 5 % or less, indicated in gray

Load factor of 60 % or less, lights up in green

Load factor of 90 % or less, lights up in green and yellow

Load factor exceeds 90 %, lights up in green, yellow and red

Memo :

The performance meter automatically appears after this unit starts up.

To hide the performance meter, press the keypad button while holding down the [FUNCTION] button.

To move the display position of the performance meter, left click and drag it to the desired position.

Note :

Do not use the recorder when the performance meter is indicated in red.
