3.5 Storage Medium
Video data integrity
To prevent manipulation of digital image data, video data cannot be changed by PC applications to be played
back into the frame storage device. This ensures ipVG containing only video data originally recorded by ipVG.
Which data will be stored on the storage medium?
As well as the video and audio data (possibly including further transaction data), additional information and
settings are stored on the storage medium, so as to protect against unauthorised access for example. This
information includes:
l Copy of camera and camera group names
l Serial number of the recording device
l All criteria relevant to the video recording (refer to "Factory Settings" under "Site Archive" "Site Archive"
on page60) for a complete list of criteria.
CamControl software allows storage of the most important settings in the ipVG flash memory. The saved
settings can later be written to the storage medium in just a few easy steps as required, e.g. for the
configuration of additional or new storage media.
Factory settings / configuration profile
When commissioning a new storage medium in combination with a new ipVG the factory settings stored in the
ipVG will be used for automatic configuration of the storage medium. After configuration with CamControl
LITE or CamControl PRO software, you can save your personal device configuration in the form of a profile
and use this profile again when needed, e.g. when replacing the storage medium or for fast programming of
other storage media.
Reset the device as described in chapter "Device Reset" if you want to reset the device to factory settings,
refer to "Device Reset" on page 25.
Save settings to PC / Load setting from PC
In addition to backing up the configuration settings in ipVG, you can also back them up to the receiver PC
using the CamControl software and then re-load them to your ipVG if necessary. You will find the options for
saving and loading device settings under Recorder settings/Upload/Download.
Furthermore, you can transfer backed-up device settings to other ipVG devices. These other devices must
have the same number of camera inputs and the same firmware version.
Operation without hard disk (storage medium)
ipVG can be operated without storage medium if the corresponding feature "Use without hard disk drive" has
been activated with CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software. In this operating mode ipVG offers all
features, except video recording. Essentially these are the following features:
l Digital transmission of live images by IP and/or dialup connection
l Remote configuration and maintenance by IP and/or dialup connection
l Alarm management - control inputs, IntrusionTrace - for automatic dialup
l System and video signal monitoring
l Camera and relay control
l Audio transmission
All functions specific to the storage medium, such as cyclical reset, alarm on hard disk error (storage medium
error), activation of error LED or the error relay and error display in the time field, will be deactivated. This
operating mode is available only if the device does not detect any storage medium and therefore no storage
medium is present in the device.
