PREFACE
The Digital Disk Recorders WJ-HD316/309 are designed for
use within a surveillance system and are combination of a
hard disk recorder and a video multiplexer (16-input for WJ-
HD316, 9-input for WJ-HD309).
Digital hard disk recorder is the recording device using a
hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead of using
videotapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwrit-
ing will not cause deterioration of recorded picture quality
anymore.
Up to 16 cameras can be connected to WJ-HD316 directly
(up to 9 cameras to WJ-HD309) and it is possible to record
their camera pictures. It is also possible to display four or
more camera pictures on a single monitor, to switch cam-
era pictures, and to operate cameras using this unit.
FEATURES
Various Recording Functions
Multi-Recording
It is possible to perform multiple recording using a sin-
gle digital disk recorder even if operating environments
are different, for example, recording pictures of cam-
eras in different places in different time.
Scheduled recording
It is possible to perform recording automatically at a
scheduled time on a designated day of a week.
Schedules can be set on each camera.
Emergency Recording
In case of emergency, emergency recording will be
given a higher priority than other recording modes by
operating an external switch.
External Timer Recording
It is possible to perform recording automatically using
an external timer.
Event Recording
At an event occurrence such as when an alarm signal is
supplied, recording mode (quality and recording rate)
can be changed to high quality to record pictures.
Motion Detection Function (VMD)
It is possible to start recording automatically when
motion is detected in a shooting area.
Frame Switcher Function
It is possible to display pictures of four or more cam-
eras on a single monitor (multi-screen) splitting monitor
screen into 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16 using WJ-HD316, and into
4, 7, 9 using WJ-HD309.
While monitoring a multi-screen, each camera picture
will be displayed as moving image.
Remote Operation via Network
It is possible to operate this unit using a PC connected to a
LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet by featured net-
work function.
Security Function and Reliability
Authentication function (registration of ID and pass-
word) restricts users available functions to be operated.
Up to 32 users can be registered.
If alteration of a recorded image data is made by any
reason, the alteration alert function notifies it.
If a hard disk clashes, the backup function
*1
, the mirror-
ing function
*2
and the RAID 5 function
*3
prevent from
data loss.
*1
: Only when the recommended DVD-RAM drive, DVD-R
drive or CD-R drive is used
*2
: The mirroring function does not work with an external
hard disk drive such as an extension unit.
*3
: To use the RAID 5 function, an optional extension unit is
required.
Transmission with Coaxial Cable, PS·Data and
RS485 Compatible
It is possible to control a Panasonic’s combination cam-
era such as WV-CS850 using only a coaxial cable but
other devices. Using a coaxial cable also compensates
transmission loss.
It is easy to establish the surveillance system by con-
necting PS·Data compatible system controller and
peripherals.
