Network Capability The HSR-J series is equipped with a 100Base-TX Ethernet interface so you can remotely monitor and control your surveillance system over a TCP/IP network using networked PCs running a web browser*5. Image data can also be transferred and downloaded via a network. Users can select image sizes so smooth-moving images can be viewed even when network bandwidth is limited. Up to fifteen users can simultaneously monitor images. There are also four levels of password protection. *5 JPEG 2000 vs JPEG Image Comparison Region-of-Interest (ROI) Function To further achieve efficiency in storage, the HSR-J series supports a Region-of-Interest (ROI) function that enables specified areas of an image to be recorded with better quality than the rest of the image (i. e. , background areas that are of less interest). In addition, the HSR-J series also supports an Active ROI function. This works in such a way that image quality is improved only when the activity detection function is triggered within specified ROIs. Requires Microsoft® Windows® 98 or higher operating system and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. 5 or higher web browser. ROI Image Screen GUI Screen Built-in Multiplexing Capability Using a built-in multiplexing capability, up to 9 camera images (HSR-J2009/J2009P) or up to 16 camera images (HSR-J2016/J2016P) can be recorded and monitored independently. Multiple monitoring patterns, such as full screen, 4-, 9-, and 16-division*6 split screens are available, and live camera images can be sequentially switched at intervals of 1 to 30 seconds. In addition to these monitoring patterns, you can set up an "Option Screen, " *7 a larger sub screen in the lower right corner of the display, that can be used to display either a live camera image or recorded image. 16-division split screen is supported only on the HSR-2016/2016P. *7 A live camera image cannot be displayed in the Option Screen during playback. *6 Timer Recording Timer recording can be activated on a weekly or daily basis, with a maximum of eight timer settings. Programmed Recording The HSR-J series has a programmed recording function that allows you to preset up to four programs and recall them easily via the menu. Within each of the four programs, you can specify the preferred camera inputs and the recording rate of each camera. These programs can also be used in combination with timer and alarm recording features. Playback During Recording The HSR-J series allows you to view previously recorded images without having to stop recording. Intelligent Search Function The HSR-J series features six search functions that allow you to quickly locate and review required segments: alarm log search, alarm search, alarm thumbnail search, time/date search, archive area search, and activity detection search.
