Activation of the
control inputs and
input circuit
■
Depending on control input function and on device configuration, events can be triggered by active switch normally open, active switch normally closed, edge control, or permanent contact. ■
In principle, control inputs must be switched to ground. Use the ground terminals labelled ⊥ on the device, or the ground terminals of the terminal block labelled "common ground for all inputs of type control
input" in the table above.
■
Status changes at the control inputs - closing and opening of the contact - must have a duration of at least 500 ms to allow for positive detection by the device and distinction from "swish contacts". The SmartDisc 10IP has control inputs with optocouplers. These inputs do not, however, have galvanic separation from the operating voltage of the device.
Depending on the configuration, these can be activated by "Normally closed"
or "Normally opened" contacts.
The control inputs must always be activated such that they are potentialfree!

The device configuration allows designation of integrated relays as error relays in order to report certain operating states or malfunctions using dry contacts. The status of the error relay then always corresponds to the status of the Error LED on the front of SmartDisc 10IP:
■
Error if Error LED on, then error relay energised
■
No error, if Error LED off, then error relay de-energised
21
Examples for possible errors reported by error relay:
■
Recording underrun (images are overwritten too early)
■
Recording overrun (insufficient allocated storage)

For a detailed list of error messages that can trigger the error relay, refer to chapter "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.
Sabotage protection
The error relay is pulled in idle - no error. Therefore the error relay can be used as sabotage 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 sabotage protection will not work if error relay switching is not consistent with the operating mode.

Use
1. Transparent transmission of serial data between SmartDisc 10IP and SmartControl receiver unit. Data will be transmitted unaltered between the devices, even when using different bit rates for the transmitting and the receiving unit. 2. In POS (Point of Sale) operation, the interface facilitates the receipt of serial transaction data, from cash registers or ATM machines for example. These data are linked with corresponding video images. (Minimum requirement: firmware 1.76)
When using the Vista SmartText Interface, the connection is established via a TCP/IP network connection.
Due to the technical design of the SmartText Interface, it is only possible to display transaction data on analogue video signals. No such display is available for IP cameras.
3. The interface is also prepared for serial remote control of certain SmartDisc 10IP features. Please refer to information on designated firmware versions. (Minimum requirement: firmware 1.76)
4. The interface makes it possible to connect the Vista ALM50 Module, making 50 additonal control inputs available (minimum requirement: Firmware 1.76).

HYBRID Card 4
On the basic device SmartDisc 10IP, the BNC sockets for analogue cameras are not activated. To use them, you require the HYBRID Card 4, which is available separately.
A SmartDisc 10IP supports a maximum of two such expansion cards, which together make it possible to operate a total of eight analogue cameras. A single HYBRID Card 4 makes it possible to operate up to four analogue cameras. The number of analogue inputs used reduces the number of IP cameras possible on the SmartDisc 10IP.
In total, a maximum of 10 cameras are supported.
Installing and mounting the HYBRID Card 4
When installing the HYBRID Card 4, always follow the installation instructions that come with the card.
The individual installation stages, including a function test, are described in these instructions.
Programming of the HYBRID Card 4
To set the parameters on the HYBRID Card 4, open the dialogue window Recorder settings/HYBRID Card 4 using your SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software (minimum requirement: Version 3.86 in each case).

3.8 Storage media
Removable hard disk
Why
removable
hard disks?
Hard disk
information
SmartDisc 10IP is equipped with a special frame for holding removable hard disks. Hard disk advantages at a glance:
■
Flexible matching of application to storage capacity
■
Availability of original image data if copies are not admissible for legal reasons
■
Enhancing storage capacity by using several removable hard disks in turn. This allows recording times of any duration
■
In addition to online evaluation, SmartDisc 10IP removable hard disks can be evaluated offline, i.e. not by using SmartDisc 10IP, but a separate evaluation PC
■
Faster access to storage image data with separate evaluation PC
Every hard disk is extensively tested for performance and functionality before release. Special attention is given to the factors low power consumption and low heat development. These contribute to prolonged product life. To ensure that all SmartDisc 10IP hard disks meet these criteria, every hard disk is coded, formatted, mounted in a SmartDisc 10IP specific removable frame, and subsequently tested again. Local evaluation of SmartDisc 10IP frame storage devices requires a suitable PC with SmartDisc IP Caddy (USB).
Only use original Vista hard disks specially configured for operation with SmartDisc 10IP. Conventional hard disks are not supported by the SmartDisc 10IP series.
Video data integrity
To prevent manipulation of digital image data, video data cannot be changed by PC applications to be played back into the frame storage device. This ensures SmartDisc 10IP containing only video data originally recorded by SmartDisc 10IP .
Hard disk
commissioning
To avoid transport damage, SmartDisc 10IP and removable hard disks are delivered separately. Refer to additional information on commissioning on the label with the internal serial number of Vista attached to the housing cover of the removable hard disk (see illustration below). This information is important for: Vista SmartDisc 10IP
■
Unique serial number allocation for service
■
Comparing serial numbers in applications with several SmartDisc 10IP
units and several removable hard disk can prevent inadvertent switching of hard disks and subsequent inadvertent deletion of recorded data. 29
Hard disk size and model/serial number can be displayed in menu "Site archive" under "HDD" of SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software. In exceptional cases loss of data may occur within the same generation, however only in cases of extensive firmware change.
Which data
will be
stored on the
removable hard
disk?
In addition to video data, additional information and settings are stored on the removable hard disk. This is to enable convenient evaluation with other SmartDisc 10IP units, or in offline mode with evaluation PCs. Moreover, to enable trouble-free operation of several removable hard disks with the same SmartDisc 10IP unit, and to ensure protection from access by unauthorised persons. This information includes:
■
Copy of camera and camera group names
■
Serial number of the recording device ■
All criteria relevant to the video recording (refer to "Factory settings" under "Site archive" (see “Site archive” on page 63)) for a complete list of criteria. ■
Log file (refer to chapter "Log file" for a complete list of possible log file entries) (see “Log File” on page 47)
SmartControl software allows storage of the most important settings in the SmartDisc 10IP flash memory. Saved settings can be written conveniently to additional or new hard disks later. Configuration via the SmartControl and SmartControl PRO
software
Factory settings /
configuration profile
When commissioning a new removable hard disk in combination with a new SmartDisc 10IP unit, the factory settings stored in the SmartDisc 10IP unit will be used for automatic configuration of the removable 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 10IP flash memory and use this profile again, e.g. when changing hard disks, or for fast parameterisation of other removable 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 32) .
Save settings to PC /
Load setting from PC
In addition to backing up the configuration settings in SmartDisc 10IP's flash memory, you can also back them up to the receiver PC using the SmartControl software and then re-load them to your SmartDisc 10IP if necessary. You will find the options for saving and loading device settings under Recorder settings/Upload / Download.
Furthermore, you can transfer backed-up device settings to other SmartDisc 10IP devices. These other devices must have the same number of camera inputs and the same firmware version.
Offline evaluation
To evaluate SmartDisc 10IP recordings offline, i.e. independent from a SmartDisc 10IP unit, the evaluation PC requires preparation for receiving the removable hard disk. Use the external SmartDisc IP Caddy (USB) for direct connection by USB interface to the evaluation PC (desktop, notebook). The advantages of option USB are:
■
30
fast and convenient commissioning
■
automatic detection of the removable SmartDisc 10IP hard disk connected to the USB interface (depending on the operating system)
■
evaluation and removable hard disk change without PC/Laptop restart
Please use SmartPlayer software for offline evaluation. Refer to the online manual of the same name for more information
Key
Locking using a key provides mechanical safety for the removable hard disk.
This safety measure prevents the hard disk from being removed during operation, causing damage to it.
Operation without
removable hard disk
SmartDisc 10IP can be operated without removable hard disk if the corresponding feature "Operation without hard disk" has been activated with SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software. In this operating mode SmartDisc 10IP offers all features, except video recording. Essentially these are the following features: ■
Digital transmission of live images by IP and/or dial-up connection
■
Remote configuration and maintenance by IP and/or dial-up connection
■
Alarm management - control inputs, motion detection (only with analogue cameras) - for automatic dial-up
■
System and video signal monitoring
■
Camera and relay control
■
Audio transmission All hard disk functions, such as cyclical reset, alarm on hard disk error, activation of LED Error or the error relay, and clock error display will be deactivated. This operating mode is available only if the device does not detect any hard disk (and therefore no removable hard disk in the removable frame).
If SmartDisc 10IP detects a functional hard disk after start up with option Use without hard disk drive activated, the option will be ignored and the removable hard disk will be used. If the hard disk fails during operation, all hard disk related errors will be read out until the next reset. Vista SmartDisc 10IP

This chapter describes the basic procedure for successfully commissioning your SmartDisc 10IP and provides tips for configuration and design strategies. The online manual for SmartControl and SmartControl PRO
software provides further information on configuration software and the menus relevant to configuring your application. For clearness, the following information refers to SmartControl software. SmartControl PRO software provides identical features and can be used for commissioning as well without any limitation. 4.1 First steps
1. Install SmartDisc 10IP as described in chapter "System description", section "Mounting and setting up" and switch the device on (see “Mounting and setting up” on page 12).
2. Connect all input and output lines to your SmartDisc 10IP unit now, if possible. All required plugs are included in the scope of delivery. Refer to chapter "Pin assignment and functionality" (see “Pin assignment and functionality” on page 19).
3. To operate the IP cameras, SmartDisc 10IP offers you a dedicated network interface, termed IP Camera. The factory settings are:
IP address = 192.168.32.95; subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
If necessary, configure the IP cameras to operate on this network before using with the SmartDisc 10IP.
4. Install the SmartControl software for operation, alarm verification, and configuration from the installation CD. Please observe the installation information in the online manual of the same name. This manual is included in the installation CD. 5. Connect the SmartDisc 10IP to the PC with the SmartControl
software using a cable. Use either the optional Nullmodem cable, the USB cable or the network cable. The last two cables listed are part of the fixed scope of delivery for your SmartDisc 10IP.
6. Start the SmartControl software and use option Connect to connect to your SmartDisc 10IP unit, observing the following: Vista SmartDisc 10IP
■
If you use the optional null modem cable: Open SmartControl
software in offline mode. Go to menu item Settings, menu item Port A, menu item Mode. Activate option Null modem. ■
If using the USB connector cable, it may be necessary to install a corresponding driver (refer to the sub-directory /Drivers in your SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software).

4.2 General configuration information
■
Configure your system with all cameras connected and all final camera perspectives set, for best results. This enables precise calculation of images sizes detected in SmartDisc 10IP configuration mode.
■
If possible, use conditional refresh mode (differential image compression). This method is more efficient than the option single image compression.
SmartDisc 10IP only records conditional refresh images if the interval between two consecutive images is not greater than 10 seconds. For larger intervals, significant image changes are assumed and therefore full image recording is activated. The advantages of conditional refresh mode are:
■
The available storage capacity is used more efficiently. This increases the period available for recording images. ■
Recording speed is increased.
■
Online evaluation is faster. This is of advantage when using narrow bandwidth communication paths such as GSM, MODEM, or ISDN.
■
It is additionally recommended on analogue video signals to Record
preview images if the evaluation is to be made over narrow bandwidth communication channels such as GSM, MODEM, ISDN.
■
Camera noise, e.g. caused by poor lighting, can cause excessively large images, even in conditional refresh mode - factory setting - as camera noise is interpreted as image change. ■
Image quality can be set separately for each camera input, and for image transmission and image recording. Additional options for resolution and multi image display mode are available for image transmission. Full format live transmission allows adjusting resolution by the viewer during transmission. ■
If you want to control recording on several cameras using movements, i. e. the integrated motion detection on analogue cameras, consider using external motion detectors. The integrated motion detection is not designed for outdoor recordings and should therefore be reserved for indoor cameras. This avoids false alarms.
■
The integrated motion detection for analogue cameras allows you to set different levels of sensitivity for controlling recording and alarm forwarding to a SmartControl station
■
When defining the pre-alarm and post-alarm sequence, please note that new messages generated during an event (e.g. caused by alarm contacts or the integrated motion detection) on analogue cameras will be ignored at first and will only be processed after the post-alarm time or after the adjustable retrigger time has elapsed.When defining pre-alarm and postalarm sequence: New messages generated during an event (e.g. caused by alarm or motion detection) will be ignored at first and will only be processed after post-alarm time or after adjustable retrigger time is up. ■
The number of events will be reduced by the frame storage device if storage space allocated to any camera for any single event is less than 3 MB.
■
The device gives highest priority to image recording triggered by input state change, i.e. when recording via Edge + or Edge – is enabled. If the device has detected a change on a control input, it will interrupt recording triggered by a different status, by status change or (on analogue cameras) 35
4 Commissioning
the integrated motion detection in all instances.The device gives highest priority to image recording triggered by input state change, i.e. when Edge + or Edge – recording is active. If the device detects a status change at any recording input, it will interrupt recording triggered by any different status, by status change, or by integrated motion detection in any event. 36
■
For the device to positively detect control input states and status changes, circuit time must be at least 0.5 seconds.
■
SmartDisc 10IP supports three operating modes. These are a compromise between performance and functionality, at the same time leaving the option to suppress certain functions, under certain circumstances. SmartDisc 10IP factory setting is Duplex mode. Operating mode overview: ■
Simplex = Live image transmission, or recording, or archive evaluation ■
Duplex = Live image transmission and recording, or archive evaluation ■
Triplex = Live image transmission and recording and archive evaluation ■
For applications using several removable hard disks (for increasing storage capacity or recording time) it is strongly advised to use uniformly configured hard disks, to use these always in the same SmartDisc 10IP, and to provide them with unique labels. Also refer to chapter „Removable hard disk“ (see “Removable hard disk” on page 29).
■
SmartDisc 10IP is equipped with an integrated clock module with calendar feature. Maximum deviation at an ambient operating temperature of 40 °C is ±2.5 minutes per month. It is recommended to synchronise the clock with PC time at regular intervals and to activate automatic adjustment to summer/winter time. ■
During live transmission of images from analogue cameras, SmartDisc 10IP inserts the date and time into the image top right, conforming to ISO 8601. To distinguish different images stored at the same time from each other, a consecutive image number is displayed after date and time data, separated by a period or a space.
Above Firmware 1.82, a similar display can be parametrised as an option on IP cameras as well.
■
On principle, always assign a Device name and assign unique Camera
names. This facilitates distinction, especially in large projects, not only for live transmission but also for online and offline evaluation. In addition, you can define camera groups and pool several cameras into logical groups.
■
Depending on equipment your SmartDisc 10IP supports connections to several SmartControl stations. Simultaneous support is for up to 6 IP connections, or 5 IP and 1 dial-up connection, or 4 IP and 2 dial-up connections. The number of active SmartControl stations connected to the same SmartDisc 10IP at the same time is displayed by the SmartControl software below the video window. Simultaneous connection to several SmartControl stations affects SmartDisc 10IP
performance.
■
You can enter up to four Telephone numbers / IP addresses that will be processed in the event of an alarm, according to configurable criteria. Field one has top priority. SmartDisc 10IP always dials these numbers consecutively until one of the receivers is contacted. The number of Vista SmartDisc 10IP
4 Commissioning
repeats determines the maximum number of times the list will be processed. In addition, the system can be configured to always dial all numbers. The same telephone numbers will be used for routine calls and for technical alarms. Alarm LED will remain active until the telephone number list has been processed according to the set repeats.
■
Select option Alarm call in case of defective Hard Disk if you want to send a hard disk error message to a SmartControl station. The connection will be established approximately 45 seconds after the error occurs. If the user confirms the alarm with Report again, another call will be made 6 minutes later. If the user clicks Do not report again, the transmitter will call to report the hard disk error the next time the error is detected again with device restart. ■
Select option Routine call every 24 hours, if you want to report operability of your SmartDisc 10IP at regular intervals to a SmartControl
station. No images will be transmitted during this connection. The calls will be logged in the log files of the transmitter and of the receiver.
■
SmartDisc 10IP checks all connected video signal inputs for video signal failure (faulty camera, faulty video line, low contrast image, e.g. by covered lens). 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.
If you require additional features, please refer to the additional configuration options in files CAMTEL.INI or CAMCTRL.INI. Refer to the respective information in the SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software online manuals.

5 Description of "Site archive" features
This chapter provides basic information on recording modes and the methods of their control. Refer to descriptions of the setup dialogs in the SmartControl and SmartControl PRO software online manuals.
5.1 Storage concept
SmartDisc 10IP allows digital recording of up to 10 camera signals. The multi-track recording process developed by Vista allows hard disk storage capacity to be adjusted individually for each camera.
Advantages of the multi-track recording process
■
The hard disk storage capacity is used in the ideal manner.
■
The recording period is specified for each individual camera track.
■
The logical division of the hard disk prevents mutual overwriting of archived image data.
■
For event-triggered recording pre-alarm and post-alarm sequences can be recorded for individual events.
■
An optional warning by relay is issued when the adjustable storage warning threshold is reached.
■
Each camera track can be configured with overwrite protection on overrun, or for automatic overwriting.
Camera tracks
The SmartDisc 10IP hard disk is divided into 10 camera tracks. This allows you to specify the storage space for each individual camera track. Storage capacity is displayed in GB.
39
The illustration shows identical partitioning (factory setting) for each of the 10 camera tracks of a SmartDisc 10IP hard disk. The required storage capacity is based on average picture size, recording mode, recording speed, and recording duration. Set the partition size using the thumb. No images are recorded on a camera track when the storage capacity is set to 0%.
The archive is reformatted when the track storage capacity is changed. All images recorded up to this point will be irretrievably deleted.
FIFO
SmartDisc 10IP uses FIFO (First In First Out) for recording. The oldest images
or events will be overwritten with new recordings after a certain period of time. Hard disk partitioning into camera tracks prevents recorded images from being overwritten by data from other cameras.
Record preview
images
When accessing the image archiving device remotely over a low bandwidth connection, low-resolution preview pictures (256 x 128 pixels) can be stored in the archive. These preview pictures can be used to view the recorded pictures more quickly during remote access. When preview pictures are saved during recording, recording speed is slowed down by about 20%. Recording duration is reduced by approximately 10%, as additional storage space is required for preview images.
When recording images from IP cameras, no preview images are stored.
40
Overwrite
protection
Activating overwrite protection ensures that existing recordings are never deleted automatically. Individual camera tracks must be released before overwrite. An individual storage warning threshold can be defined for each track. Reaching the threshold warning limit (to be set in percentiles) triggers the SmartDisc 10IP error LED to illuminate and a log file entry to be written.
In addition, a message advising that the threshold warning limit has been reached can be sent via e-mail. The threshold warning limit can be reported by relay as well, depending on device configuration. For remote evaluation with SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software a message is displayed that only dedicated image export or switching removable hard disks will ensure permanent image storage.
Report period less
than [] days
This option allows the device to issue a warning (error LED, error relay, online evaluation, log file) if the specified recording duration for an individual track cannot be maintained any longer. SmartDisc 10IP uses the previous recordings as a basis for calculation, extrapolating from an assumed regular data volume. Based on the quantity of data saved on the hard disk and the previously recorded time period, an estimate is made of how long (in days) the available storage space would last. If this period is less than the set value, the error relay can be activated, for example.
Delete all pictures
older than [] days
If special requirements for the period of image storage must be complied with, for example for reasons of data privacy, a maximum age can be specified for archive images per camera track. Any older images will then be deleted automatically. Vista SmartDisc 10IP
Recording modes
In addition to specifying individual track size, the recording mode must be specified individually for each camera as well. The basic SmartDisc 10IP
distinction is between permanent (long-term) recording and event triggered recording. Both modes can be set for the same camera. Switching between modes is controlled by an integrated timer module. The following illustration shows timer control for camera 1.
Flexible storage
space allocation
The illustration above shows flexible storage capacity allocation for permanent recording and event triggered recording. 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.
41
Continuous recording
Continuous recording is recording for a predefined period of time with adjustable recording speed. The recording period is determined by timer settings. Select preconfigured SmartControl and SmartControl PRO

When recording images from the connected IP cameras, the rate of recording may be lower. There may be delays in data transfer to the SmartDisc 10IP, brought about, for example by large-format images provided by "megapixel" cameras, or by high data volume on the IP camera network.
Optimised
permanent
recording
42
This method can be combined with external sensors or with the integrated motion detection on analogue cameras to optimise storage capacity. In this case SmartDisc 10IP only records in the event of the respective control input being activated or in the event of motion detection detecting a change to the image.
The 10 control inputs at the 34 pin terminal block are permanently assigned to a particular camera. Four input states can be used and configured for control. Continuous

Continuous
recording and edge
trigger
Permanent recording can be influenced by defining a certain edge. A normally closed contact produces a positive edge upon opening (from low to high, Edge +) while a normally open contact produces a negative edge (from high to low, Edge –) upon closing. The recording interval and the number of frames to be recorded can be defined for each edge. To calculate recording time, multiply interval by number of frames. 43

Continuous
recording and
motion detection
Integrated motion detection on analogue cameras with adjustable sensitivity and optional definable detection areas can be used for recording control, applying the same principle as for continuous recording with external sensors. It is important to consider the state of the respective control input Open or Closed. In addition, the recording interval and the number of frames to be recorded can be defined for each detected motion. To calculate recording time, multiply interval by number of frames.

Illustration: Event triggered recording with pre-alarm, alarm image and postalarm
For event triggered recording, recording is controlled by the corresponding control input and/or integrated motion detection. Event triggered recording creates a separate entry in the image database for each event, as opposed to continuous recording. 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.

5.2 Log File
SmartDisc 10IP protocols, important device states and events in a log file with a capacity of up to 1,000 entries. The oldest entries will be overwritten automatically according to First In First Out. The file is stored on the removable hard disk. It can by displayed by SmartControl and SmartControl PRO software in online mode, or also in offline mode by SmartPlayer software. Certain log file entries are system entries and as such beyond the control of the user. Other messages are optional and must be defined with SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software with menu Extras in Site archive. In the table below these messages are marked yes in column Optional. Critical messages are indirectly connected to the error relay and marked yes in column Error relay.
Column Log file entry provides the text messages and optional additional information indicated by square brackets. Additional information date and time apply to all entries. Therefore each Log file entry starts with [D&T]. For all other additional information, letters (e.g. [x]) are used, which are explained in column Description.

6 Web Server
6 Web Server
The SmartDisc 10IP devices have an integrated Web Server for transmitting live images and, if necessary, controlling PTZ functions. If you select this option (Recorder settings/Connections/Network (TCP/IP)/Web Server) one of these six standard connections is dropped in favour of up to four additional connections to PC, PDA or Smartphone browsers.
General
Establishing a
connection
Login
When a user is working with the Web Server, then for security reasons a session is started and the Web browser saves a cookie on the relevant user's computer. Within one session a user has up to ten minutes to carry out an action (e.g., switch camera or quality / change live image viewing mode). Every action carried out within this period of time resets the session time so that the overall 10-minute period is renewed for each action. When this period of time expires, the session ends. The user is logged off and the logon page opens.
If transmitter configuration is changed using SmartControl or SmartControl PRO the Web Server is reset. If there are any active Web browser connections at the time, then the following happens:
■
No user defined in the transmitter: Reset to live image of Camera 1 in Mainscreen viewing mode
■
At least one user defined in the transmitter: Reset to logon page
To establish a connection to the server, enter the symbolic name (e.g. http:/
/your_device.your_domain.com) or the IP address (e.g. http://
62.214.6.26) of the device in the address bar of the Web browser.
The login page only opens if at least one user has been defined in the transmitter. If there is no user entry, the Mainscreen
viewing mode opens directly.
Otherwise, you will be asked to enter your Username and Password in order to access the device. When entering your username, make sure to differentiate between lower- and uppercase letters because it is case sensitive.
Enter the relevant password and click Login.

6 Web Server
Mainscreen
Control elements
View
There are several control elements available. To the left of the current camera image you will see the View and PTZ areas and the Logout button. Underneath the live image are the two drop-down menus Camera and Quality.
The Mainscreen, Quadscreen, Ten and Handheld buttons allow you to choose between different viewing modes. In Quadscreen and Ten viewing mode you can switch an image to Mainscreen mode by clicking the image in question.
■
Mainscreen: A live image is shown.
■
Quadscreen: Up to four live images are shown at the same time in two columns and two rows.
■
Ten: Up to ten live images are shown at the same time in three columns and four rows.
■
Handheld (for Smartphones and PDAs): This display mode dynamically attempts to optimize the size of the camera image in line with the size of the display screen. However, this mechanism must be supported by the handheld browser in use.
In addition to the drop-down menus for selecting camera and image quality, this mode also has a dropdown menu for selecting fixed positions (Preset 1 to Preset 9) – if a PTZ protocol is activated. Fixed positions can only be controlled if a PTZ camera is selected and fixed positions are defined.
Log out by clicking this button. 54

6 Web Server
Display-optimised
view for handhelds
If the handheld browser in use supports a display-optimised view, the entire Web interface is automatically adjusted if necessary. The result shown corresponds to the handheld view as far as possible.
In Web server tests on various handheld solutions, good results were obtained for example on devices that use a combination of the browser Opera (8.5 Beta 2) and operating system Windows Mobile 5.0.
PTZ
These PTZ controls are only available in Mainscreen viewing mode if a PTZ protocol has been activated in the transmitter settings and the current user is authorised accordingly. If the selected camera has the corresponding PTZ functions, you can control them by clicking the relevant buttons:
■
Arrow buttons: Clicking the arrow buttons allows you to control pan/tilt functions. ■
Magnifying glass + and Magnifying glass –: These buttons allow you to control the camera's zoom functions. ■
F+ and F–: These buttons allow you to control the camera's focus functions.
■
Presets: The Presets drop-down menu allows you to control the first nine defined fixed positions. Choose from Preset 1 to Preset 9 by selecting the appropriate option. Camera
The Camera drop-down menu is used to select the desired camera. On SmartDisc 10IP devices, you can select from ten cameras.
Quality
You can choose between three levels of image quality using the Quality drop-down menu. ++ corresponds to the highest image quality. This mode also involves the largest amount of data transfer per image. The default setting is +.
With images from IP cameras, no image quality adjustment is possible. The Quality option is not available in this case.
The Camera and Quality drop-down menus are only available in Mainscreen, Quadscreen and Handheld viewing modes. Logout
The Logout button is only available if at least one user has been defined in the transmitter. Clicking the Logout button logs the current user off the transmitter. The Login screen then opens.

10 Troubleshooting
10 Troubleshooting
This chapter will support you in evaluating errors and help you with their elimination. What to do in the event of malfunctions / sabotage
Malfunction report
The SmartDisc 10IP LED Error on the housing front side indicates malfunctions. In addition, a log entry will be written to the log file on the hard disk (see “Log File” on page 47). Moreover, certain messages will be reported by relay, provided this relay has been configured as an Error relay. The LED
Error relay indicates the state of the Error relay for SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software.
Error / malfunction
SmartDisc 10IP reaction
Hard disk removal
Error will be indicated by LED Error and reported to a SmartControl station (depending on configuration) by the Error
relay.
Error on hard disk access
The error will be indicated by LED Error, written to the log file on the hard disk (if still possible) and forwarded to a SmartControl station (depending on configuration).
Power failure
Error relay opens (if so configured).
Warning for set image threshold reached
The condition will be indicated by LED Error and reported by the Error relay (depending on configuration).
With a warning threshold set to <100%, the device will continue operation until the respective camera track on this disk is full. Then recording on this track will be stopped until deletion will release recording again.
Video signal failure
The condition will be indicated by LED Error and reported by the error relay (depending on configuration).
The device is switched off briefly and switched back on immediately. Fast switching off and on has the impact of a power failure. Wait for about 10 seconds after switching off the device before switching it back on again.
Error relay opens (if so configured).

No up-to-date receiver or archive software installed
1. Install the latest version of SmartControl or SmartControl PRO software
2. Removable hard disk is faulty
2. Inspect the archive settings in the image archiving device. Has the desired recording type been configured? Have the camera tracks been set correctly? 2. Test the removable hard disk in the PC with application Scandisk (with surface test, without error correction).
2. Install the latest SmartPlayer software
No null modem connection possible
A null modem connection between the transmitter and a SmartControl
receiver station is only possible with an original null modem cable (indicated by an orange-red sticker on the cable). Standard commercial null modem cables cannot be used. Refer to the pin assignment of the null modem cable in this manual (see “Direct connection with null modem cable” on page 24).
