Connecting External Devices; Connecting Storage Devices - Dedicated Micros ECO 9 Guide D'installation

STEP 1. Connect cameras
Connect cameras to the video inputs marked VID1 to VID9. Use the bottom
row of connectors for looping through to other equipment.
STEP 2. Connect monitors
Connect the video output marked MON A to the Main monitor (digital playback
and multiscreens).
Connect the video output marked MON B to the optional Spot monitor
(analogue full-screen images).
STEP 3. Connect the external devices
If external devices need to be connected to Eco9, go to the next section -
'Connecting external devices', before proceeding to Step 4.
STEP 4. Connect power
Once the Eco9 is in its final position and all external devices have been fitted and
powered, connect the PSU to the rear of the unit and apply the power. The power-
up procedure may take up to one minute before Eco9 can be used.
will now record all cameras without any further
programming!

Connecting External Devices

Devices that can be connected to Eco9 include:
Storage devices
Alarm and relays
Ethernet networks
Dial-up modems
If you do not require any of the above devices to be connected to Eco9, move
on to 'Configuring Eco9' - Page 8.

Connecting storage devices

Images are recorded to the internal hard disk for instant playback and
searching by the operator. The capacity of the internal disk affects the amount
of images and time that can be recorded. For example, an Eco9 with a 80GB
hard disk can record for 8 days, while a 300GB hard disk allows one month of
recording.
The internal hard disk is a temporary storage device as the images are
constantly being overwritten after a certain period of time. If images need to be
kept for longer then external storage is required. The internal CD writer can be
used to extend the storage capacity of the Eco9.
Images can be copied from the internal hard disk onto CDR disks for long term
storage. CD's are ideal for recording relatively small amounts of images such
as events, video clips, or incidents. These images can be played back on any
PC with a CD drive and DM Playback software installed.
The table below shows the recording times at typical recording rates (at
Medium image quality, 18KB):
Times indicate all cameras being copied to the CD.
