6000 series IP recorders - User’s manual - version 2.2

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

This instruction manual contains detailed information concerning the operation of the 6000

series IP recorders.

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

Pictures in this publication showing camera views can be simulations. Actual camera

images may vary depending on the type, model, settings, observation area, or

environmental conditions.

The company AAT SYSTEMY BEZPIECZEŃSTWA Sp. z o.o. has made every effort to

ensure that the information contained in this publication is comprehensive, accurate and

current.

However, due to the continuous development of the product line, graphic design, menu

layout or function descriptions contained in this publication may differ from those

implemented in your device. This does not limit or void this manual.

The following chapters describe all the functionalities present in the 6000 series IP

recorders. However, depending on your recorder model and/or firmware version, some of

the functions may be unavailable or not supported.

Technical data of the recorder, construction description, disk mounting method, first start

of the recorder and basic operation are included in the “Quick Start Guide” attached to

the recorder. When using this “User's Manual”, always have a quick start guide nearby so

that you can refer to it in matters not described in the user’s manual.

SHORTCUTS 
SHORTCUTS 
Auxiliary monitor output (Secondary output). 
The SPOT auxiliary monitor output  is  inactive  by default  (i.e.  it  does  not display any images). To 
display an image on it, you must configure a view or sequence for this output. The configuration of 
the auxiliary monitor output is described in Menu “Output Settings” on page 59. 
Face comparison. 
The recorder  configuration for  face  comparison  is  a  multi-step  process.  To  properly configure  this 
option should be: 
•  Enable and configure face detection ( “Face Detection” menu on page 15) 
•  Configure response options for face detection ( “Face Detection” menu page 40) 
•  Configure face comparison options ( “Face Match” menu page 37) 
•  Configure face base ( “Target Database Management” menu page 75) 
Creating disk arrays. 
In recorders that allow  mounting several disks,  it  is  possible to build a disk  array. Creating  a  disk 
array allows you to increase reliability and fault tolerance. Creating a disk array is described in the 
“Disk Mode”  menu and in the “Array”  menu on page 47. A description of the individual types of 
RAID arrays is provided in the appendix “RAID Arrays” on page 95. 
Archiving of recordings. 
Recordings  from  the  recorder  can  be  archived  on  external  media.  The  recorder  provides  AVI  and 
Private formats for archiving. To ensure the safety of recordings, it is recommended to use the Private 
format. For more information on archiving recordings, see the appendix “Archiving  of  recordings” 
on page 101. 
Mobile application. 
The recorder allows access to recordings remotely, using a smartphone via a mobile application. A 
description  of  the  application's  configuration  and  operation  is  provided  in  the  appendix  “Mobile 
application” on page 107.

1. Recorder’s main window

After starting the recorder and logging in, the window for observing images from cameras will be

displayed on the monitor. The main elements of this window are described in the short manual

attached to the recorder, here other options, not mentioned in the short manual, will be described.

After starting, the camera image observation window displays empty viewing areas. The number of

areas and the division depends on the recorder model and display settings. After adding cameras to the

recorder, the images will be displayed in the preview areas. Adding can be done by going to the "Add

Camera" menu, or by pressing the symbol visible in the empty display area, which is a shortcut to

this menu.

After adding cameras to the viewing areas, each will have two menus for camera management. The

menu is displayed by pressing the left and right mouse buttons, respectively. The number and type of

options in each menu depends on the camera parameters.

1.1. Left mouse button menu

From left:

• menu moving area. Clicking and holding the left mouse button in this place allows you to

change the position of the menu

• Camera info: displays the information window

1.2.2. Change the resolution of the main monitor output

Pressing the right mouse button for about 5 seconds changes the image resolution of the main monitor

output. The change takes place in a loop, and each time you press and hold the button, the resolution

changes to the next one from the list of available resolutions. The change is confirmed with an

acoustic signal.

In this way, it is possible to obtain an image in the case when, for example, the monitor attached to the

recorder does not support the currently set resolution.

Clicking can take place anywhere in the main window.

recorder to connect to cameras, which significantly speeds up and simplifies the process of adding

cameras, especially with a larger number of them.

RECORDER'S MENU - “CAMERA - ADD CAMERA”

In recorders equipped with PoE ports, configuration should be started by connecting cameras to

PoE ports. The NOVUS 3000 and 6000 series cameras will be automatically detected and added.

Cameras of other series require, before connecting, setting the IP address compatible with the

addressing range, set for the internal Ethernet port of the recorder (default 10.151.151.1). Then

enter the username and password for the camera.

Please note that adding a camera not connected to PoE ports (located on the network) takes a

logical channel for connecting the camera to the PoE port. If the camera is blocking the channel

for the camera in the PoE port, remove it from the configuration and add it after detecting the

camera connected to the PoE port.
