MANAGE TOOL

On entering the MANAGE TOOL menu you will see the following options

Those most commonly used by customers and installers are as follows.

DISK MANAGE

The DISK MANAGE sub-menu allows you to format your drives and set up on-screen alarm messages

to alert the driver if there is an error with a drive.

The format function is very important as for optimum performance it is recommended that the

drives are reformatted at regular intervals (to clear any bad data or corrupted memory segments).

Whenever a new drive is inserted into a DVR it is recommended that it is reformatted on the DVR

before the vehicle enters service.

To Format the Drive

Use the arrow buttons on the r/c to highlight the

DISK SELECT option, press the ENTER button to

change the drive (SD = SD Card, HD = HDD)

Using the arrow buttons highlight FORMAT and

press the ENTER Button on the r/c to format

Drive Failure Alarm Message

Use the arrow buttons on the r/c to highlight the option box and press the ENTER button to change the

setting.

To save a change use the arrow buttons on the r/c to highlight the SAVE option and press the ENTER

button to make the changes.

Note: Make sure that you only turn on the Alarm for drives that you have installed.

OSD SET

The OSD SET sub-menu allows you to define what information is shown on the AV output and what

information is recorded with the video.

As has been described previously use the arrow and ENTER buttons on the r/c to highlight and

change the settings (unless otherwise described).

REAL TIME DISPLAY

Use this option to display the time

on the monitor.

Normally this will be turned on (YES)

RECORD OVERLAY DISPLAY

Use these options to configure what

information is embedded

(watermarked) with the Video.

Normally only Time and Number

(Vehicle Reg.) are selected.

DEF CHANNEL and Delay

The Def Channel defines the default AV channel/

channels that are output to the monitor – the

options are to show an individual camera, a split

screen (2 cameras side by side), or all 4 cameras.

The Delay option sets the time for which all 4

cameras are displayed on the AV Output before the

output is switched to the default AV channel. This

feature is used to allow the driver to check all

cameras are working before leaving the depot.

To change the delay time highlight the time and use

the numeric buttons on the r/c to set the new time.

To delete a number press the DEL button on the r/c.

To save a change use the arrow buttons

on the r/c to highlight the SAVE option

and press the ENTER button to save the

changes.

SYS UPGRADE

From time to time Vision UK will update the DVR Firmware to improve the system performance. To

update the firmware copy the new firmware file onto an SD card and insert it into the DVR and then

install it through the SYS UPGRADE menu.

Other Manage Tool options

The following options are accessed and configured using the r/c in the same way as described above

– if you wish to use these functions please contact Vision UK for more information

LOG MANAGE This menu option assists us with troubleshooting problems with the DVR,

allowing us to identify when specific events that have occurred.

CFG MANAGE Allows you to download or upload application specific configuration files.

PTZ MANAGE This option allows us to set up PTZ Camera Control.

SERIAL MANAGE This menu option allows us to set up serial communications with another

device.

Using the arrows on the r/c highlight the

UPGRADE button and press the ENTER button.

The DVR will then upload the firmware, restart

and start running with the new Firmware.

SYSTEM SET

The SYSTEM SET menu contains the Recording, Alarm and Network settings of the DVR.

On entering the SYSTEM SET menu you will see the options shown above

BASIC SET

The BASIC SET contains the basic information on the DVR and Vehicle.

As has been described previously use the arrow and ENTER buttons on the r/c to highlight and

change the settings (unless otherwise described).

Please note that the other setting…

IDLE TIME, DEVICE NO, MAIN INFO, NAME, REMARK, BLIND VALUE

… are only used for systems supplied with live-view and/ or Wi-Fi capability and their functionality is

covered in a separate manual

DATE TYPE sets the displayed Time Format.

Sets the TIMEZONE (We recommend that this

is set as GMT +0 as otherwise you have to

manually change this on every system every

time the clocks change).

In the NUMBER box you can enter the Vehicle

Registration number which will be

watermarked onto the recorded video.

To enter the registration number highlight the

box and press ENTER. This will call up a

virtual keyboard which you can use to select

numbers and letters using the arrow keys and

ENTER button. When you have set the

number press the ESC button to exit.

DATE sets the system Date and Time

To change the time and date use the numeric

buttons on the r/c to set the new time. To

delete a number press the DEL button on the

r/c.

Note if a GPS connected the date and time will

update automatically (but not the Time Zone).

Highlight the SAVE option and press the

ENTER button on the r/c to save the changes.

REC SET

The REC SET settings define the recording characteristics of the DVR.

As has been described previously use the arrow and ENTER buttons on the r/c to highlight and

change the settings (unless otherwise described)

All Vision systems will be PAL unless

specifically ordered to be otherwise.

We recommend using 4D1 (all channels recorded at D1 Resolution) or

2D1_2CIF = Channels 1 & 2 recorded at D1, Channels 3 & 4 at CIF

Resolution (This option increases recording time for a small reduction

in quality on what are normally the less critical cameras).

Auto Record Mode is used for 95% of

Vehicle applications as means DVR

always records when it is running.

If recording 4 cameras set bit rate to

1600 as processor capacity cannot

process data any faster.

NORMAL mode means that the

oldest video is overwritten when

memory device is full.

ALARM DELAY sets time period

after an alarm event occurs that

video is recorded for.

PRE RECORD sets time before an

alarm event that video is

recorded for.

Note that Alarm Files will not be

overwritten when memory is full

The TIME SLICE is the

time period over which

a video file is saved if

the DVR is not turned

off – we recommend it

is set at 30 minutes

The SD Function is important to understand:

LOST REC configures the DVR so that if the

HDD does not exist (or is faulty) the video

will be recorded to the SD Card – so all SD

Card DVR’s must be configured with this

setting. This also allows a HDD DVR to have

an SD Card back up should the HDD fail.

NO REC only records video to the HDD.

MIRR REC records video to both SD card and

HDD

The ENCRYPT function

is not currently

supported

These settings set up the recording configuration for

each camera channels individually.

To select the camera to be configured highlight the

CHANNEL number and press ENTER on the r/c to change

the channel number.

Always set the QUALITY setting to 1 (best quality)

We recommend a FRAME RATE of 15 (15 fps) which

offers the best compromise of quality and file size.

Turn RECORD ON only for those channels that are to be

recorded (recording channels with no cameras

connected just wastes storage space).

Turn AUDIO to record sound – But note that only

Channel 1 and 4 have audio hardware connected.

TIME LIST is used with the TIME setting

(under the RECORD MODE options) so that

the DVR only records between pre-set times

The SUB-STREAM setting is used with Live-

View systems and use is covered in a

separate manual.

Highlight the SAVE option and press the

ENTER button on the r/c to save the changes.

POWER SETUP

The POWER SETUP configuration defines how the DVR will run.

As has been described previously use the arrow and ENTER buttons on the r/c to highlight and

change the settings (unless otherwise described).

SECURITY

The SECURITY configures access to the Menus.

As has been described previously use the arrow and ENTER buttons on the r/c to highlight and

change the settings (unless otherwise described)

ACC RECORD should always be

set to NORMAL.

For most applications the DVR should be set

up to ACC.

This means that whenever there is a voltage

on the accessory live wire (Yellow wire on

the Power Plug) the DVR will start running.

The TIME option is used to automatically

start and stop the DVR between pre-set

times.

DELAY TIME sets how long after ignition off (accessory

live “see’s” no voltage) the DVR keeps recording for.

To change the time and date use the numeric buttons

on the r/c to set the new time. To delete a number press

the DEL button on the r/c.

POWER ON TIME and POWER

OFF TIME are used with TIME

Mode to turn the DVR ON and

OFF at PRE-SET times.

Highlight the SAVE option and press the

ENTER button on the r/c to save the changes.

DELAY POWER OFF should be

ON to activate the DELAY TIME.

We recommend that the PASSWORD is turned

OFF but to ensure that that the DVR settings

cannot be tampered with Passwords can be

added.

To set a password turn PASSWORD ON and

enter and confirm the passwords using the

numeric keys on the r/c (password is numeric).

Highlight the SAVE option and press the ENTER

button on the r/c to save the changes.

ALARM SET

Use the ALARM SET to configure the alarm functionality of the DVR.

The DVR has 6 Alarm Inputs (I/O 1-6) - which correspond to the white wires on the Interface

Connector labelled AL1-6 respectively, and 1 Alarm output.

Note the Alarms Inputs also have a turn off delay feature so can be connected directly to an

indicator light circuit. The alarms will activated if “see” a voltage >3.5Volts.

As has been described previously use the arrow and ENTER buttons on the r/c to highlight and

change the settings (unless otherwise described).

To use the ALARM OUTPUT, SPEED and MOVE DETECT functions please call Vision UK to ensure that

these options are configured - and the Interface Connector wired - correctly to provide the desired

functionality.

The G-SENSOR function is explained on the following page.

Set ENABLE to ON to

enable a specific alarm

To record an alarm file when an alarm is

activated set RECORD to ON.

Alarm files should only be recorded for

important but infrequent events as

alarm files will not be overwritten and

can quickly fill up the available memory.

To activate an alarm when a

voltage is applied to the

trigger wire set PWL to HIGH.

A FUNCTION name can be assigned to

individual alarms.

LEFT, RIGHT, BRAKE descriptions will be

embedded with the recorded video when

the corresponding alarm is triggered.

The RELATE setting assigns a

Channel number to an alarm so

that when that alarm is

triggered the DVR will display

that channel on the AV output.

To turn on the DVR’s alarm

output when an alarm input is

triggered set the OUTPUT to

ON.

Highlight the SAVE option and

press the ENTER button on the

r/c to save the changes.

G-SENSOR

Regardless of the configuration the DVR will records G forces with the Video footage.

However the G-Sensor can be configured to record an alarm file and/or send an alarm output when

a G threshold level is exceeded

NETWORK

The NETWORK settings are only used on DVR’s with Live View and/or Wi-Fi Capability (although the

DVR can also be used as part of a wired Network). The use of these functions is covered in a

separate Manual

To provide an output when a

G level alarm has been

activated turn the OUTPUT

ON.

Set ALARM SWITCH to ON to

turn on the G-SENSOR alarm.

Set the THRESHOLD VALUES
