HOW TO SWITCH THE VPR ON AND OFF
The VPR can automatically start up again after a sudden power blackout and normal system operation is restored.
However, to avoid hard disk failures and damage to the system file, use the procedures for switching the device on and
off safely shown below in normal conditions.
3.1
HOW TO SWITCH THE DEVICE ON
To start the VPR, make sure that the power cord is connected and that the power switch (near the power cord) is in
position “1”. Then press the power button on the front panel of the VPR. Check that the LED is on and wait for the
system to boot up. The system will beep three times at the end of the start-up procedure to indicate that the system is
correctly initialised and that it is ready to work normally.
The system will beep repeatedly during the start-up procedure if it cannot start-up correctly for any reason. In this case,
switch the VPR off by holding the on/off button on the front panel pressed and start the device. If the error indication
occurs again, switch the device off and contact your nearest service centre. Do not repeatedly attempt to switch the
device on.
3.2
HOW TO SWITCH THE DEVICE OFF
To switch the VPR off in normal operating conditions, press the on/off button on the front panel of the VPR for less than
one second. Then wait for the system to shut down safely: the power LED will go out at the end of the procedure. During
the procedure, all recordings in progress will be shut down and correctly saved to the hard disk. All running processes
will be stopped. Although the VPR is able of automatically restoring its regular operation following a sudden power
blackout, you should always switch the device off using this procedure to avoid damaging the internal components of the
device.
eIMPORTANT NOTE
Do not cut off power to the device by unplugging it or shifting the power switch to “0” during the system shutdown
procedure. Wait for the system shutdown procedure to end and the power LED to go out before performing these

warning off. To send DTMF commands to the VPR, call the VPR, authenticate the call, send the command and end the
call as shown below:
Call and call authentication procedure: Dial the telephone number of the line to which the VPR is connected
using a telephone capable of sending DTMF tones and wait for the VPR reply. After a certain number of rings
(as shown in chapter 5.6), the VPR will reply: a confirmation tone will be heard and the communication will be
established. Within 5 seconds from the confirmation tone, press * on the telephone keypad followed by the PIN
code set in chapter 5.6 (default: 1234) and then the # key. Wait for the confirmation tone. An error tone will be
heard if you make a mistake when entering the PIN code. Enter the PIN code again (* PIN #). The call will be
automatically terminated after three consecutive mistakes.
How to send a command to immediately connect to the Internet provider: When you hear the confirmation
tone after the log-on procedure, press 1, wait for the confirmation tone and hang up. After receiving this
command, the VPR will immediately hang up, connect to the Internet provider using the parameters entered in
chapter 5.6 of this manual and send its IP address (assigned by the Internet provider) by e-mail or SMS text
message according to the parameters shown in chapter 5.3 (also if alarm warning is off). The IP address of the
VPR may also be retrieved as described in chapter 4.3.4. You may then connect to the VPR using a remote PC
as described in chapter 4.3.1.
How to send an alarm warning on command: When you hear the confirmation tone after the log-on
procedure, press 8, wait for the confirmation tone: the VPR will switch alarm warning on. Press * to end the call
and hang up.
How to send an alarm warning off command: When you hear the confirmation tone after the log-on
procedure, press 9, wait for the confirmation tone: the VPR will switch alarm warning off. Press * to end the call
and hang up.
Example of key sequence for sending DTMF commands

CAMERAS
Each connected camera may be configured independently so as to perform different functions according to the place of
installation and the framed scene.
eIMPORTANT NOTE
After completing all configurations on the page, press SAVE on the bottom of the page to save the changes. Otherwise,
all changes will be ignored.
5.1.1
HOW TO ASSIGN A NAME TO THE CAMERAS
To assign a name to a camera, enter the required name in the specific field next to the Camera 1 (Camera 2, Camera 3,
Camera 4) label. The name may be chosen as required. It is advisable to assign a descriptive name which helps you to
promptly identify its place of installation.
5.1.2
HOW TO SELECT VIDEO RESOLUTION
The VPR allows image acquisition in two video formats: QVGA (320x240 pixel resolution) and VGA (640x480 pixel
resolution). Select the most suitable video resolution according to needs by selecting the corresponding option.
Higher resolution corresponds to better acquired image definition but will also occupy more space on the hard disk when
recorded and more bandwidth when transmitted on the LAN/WAN. Consequently, it is advisable to select a higher
resolution (640x480) if the video is often shown in full screen and if minor details in the scene need to be identified.
Conversely, it is advisable to select lower resolution (320x240) if video is simply shown in Quad mode and if the video
often needs to be transmitted on the network to a remote PC using a limited bandwidth.
5.1.3
HOW TO DETECT MOVEMENTS IN THE SCENE
This function can be enabled if the framed scene should not contain moving objects in normal conditions; the presence of
motion in the scene will generate an alarm according to the alarm warning settings (see chapters 5.3 and 5.6 of this
manual for how to set alarm warning). Select the number of seconds within which the presence of motion is ignored to
avoid false alarms if motions persist only for a short time. In this case, no alarm warning will be received if the movement
persists for less than the selected number of seconds. Select 0 to generate a warning for any movement detected in the
scene.
It is also possible to exclude some areas of the scene from the motion detection function (ignore areas) and adjust the
motion detection sensitivity. Refer to chapter 5.11 of this manual for settings.
5.1.4
VIDEO LOSS WARNING
Select this option to be warned if there is no video signal from the corresponding camera. This may be generated by a
power blackout, camera failure or video signal cable interruption.

RECORDING PARAMETERS
The following parameters can be set according to your saving needs.
Select “On” to enable the corresponding video channel for recording or “Off” to deactivate all recordings (except those
started manually and those generated by an external sensor, which will be performed in all cases). To program automatic
weekly recordings, check the “schedule” option and then click on the highlighted “schedule” option to program the
weekly recording schedule.
Select the recording type (if recordings are activated on the video channel):
motion for recording if motions are detected in the scene. Recordings will be saved at the frame rate shown on
the right.
h24 for continuous, round-the-clock recordings at the frame rate shown on the right. A file will be generated for
each one hour of recording for technical reasons.
motion + h24 this special setting can be used to perform two different recordings of the same video channel:
one recording will be constant, round-the-clock, at a fixed frame rate of 1fps and a separate recording will be
made with the frame rate shown on the right in the event of movement in the scene.
Select the frame rate for the recordings on the right from one of the three available levels: high, medium and low. High
frame rates correspond to more fluent sequences but recordings will occupy more space on the hard disk and more
bandwidth for transmission on the LAN/WAN. In order to optimise performance of the entire system, it is advisable to
select the lowest frame rate considered acceptable for recordings.
In the event to motion detection recordings, it is possible to set a pre-recording time and a post-recording time of images
by selecting the corresponding number of seconds. These recordings will contain the sequences before and after the
event which generated them (pre-recording time) and will end a certain time after the generating element ends (postrecording time).
eIMPORTANT NOTE
5.2
DOMES
PTZ cameras controllable via RS-485 serial line and Pelco-D protocol (such as for example Easy Dome Urmet Domus
ref. 1090/072 and 1090/082) can be controlled by the VPR. Connect the camera correctly as shown in chapter 8.1 and
configure the following parameters:
Select “USB” device if an optional USB/RS-485 ref. 1093/106 converter is used to connect the VPR to the RS-485 serial
line. Select “RS232” instead if the VPR is connected to the RS-485 serial line via a normal RS232-RS485 converter.
Then select the protocol to be used for communication on the RS-485 line and the bit rate (which must be the same as
that set on the camera).
For each connected PTZ camera, indicate the corresponding ID address (which must correspond to the address
assigned to the camera connected to the indicated channel and if several PTZ cameras are connected to the same RS485 serial line each one must have a different ID address).

5.11.4 HOW TO ADJUST MOTION DETECTION SENSITIVITY
The motion detector sensitivity can be adjusted for each camera so that alarms are generated only when actually
needed: by appropriately adjusting sensitivity, the system will identify actual alarm conditions and ignore minor motion. A
higher motion detection sensitivity corresponds to smaller movements generating the alarm situation. Consequently, in
the event of frequent false alarms, it is advisable to decrease motion detection sensitivity to identify only the motion of
appropriate relevance.
To increase motion detection sensitivity, shift the sensitivity cursor rightwards. Minor motions will be detected in this way.
To decrease sensitivity, shift the cursor leftwards; in this case, minor movements will be ignored. If motion detection
sensitivity is set to the minimum, no motion will be detected by the selected camera.
At the end of the adjustment, press “Save” to save the changes made.
5.11.5 OUTDOOR FILTER
Outdoor sensitivity can be programmed if a camera is installed outdoors or frames an outdoor environment to reduce the
