Notes on using audio and VMD search

To use audio and VMD search, the total number of recording cameras plus channels for audio plus channels for VMD search shall be 64 or less.

Number of recording cameras + number of channels for audio + number of channels for VMD search 64

Failure to observe this may cause unrecorded images that should be recorded, undisplayed live images that should be displayed, unissued alarms that should be issued, depressed operational response, restart of ND400, etc.

Reference values for settings are indicated below.

*Measured values shall be used at 128 Mbps or less of the bit rate. (Refer to the Setup Instructions (PDF))

*The setting for PC is described at the case of 4-screen display. The total rate of recording, playing, and live image transmission shall be 200 Mbps or less.

*Refer to the operating instructions of the camera for how to set the VMD search.

Notes on network connection

To connect between ND400 and PCs or between ND400 and cameras, use a gigabit-ready HUB.

Failure to observe this may cause unrecorded images that should be recorded, undisplayed live images that should be displayed, unissued alarms that should be issued, etc. resulting in collapsed live images or playback images.
