2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA C-DR0100 (C-DR0101, C-DR0105) is a single-channel Digital Video Recorder with 1 channel of
video input, and permits connected camera images to be recorded onto its large-capacity internal hard disks
using a digital compression system. It can simultaneously play back recorded camera images while continuing
to record images onto the hard disk. The Digital Video Recorder can also be easily connected to an existing
switcher system, replacing previously installed analog time-lapse VCRs. Mounting in EIA-Standard equipment
racks can also be easily performed with the addition of optional rack mounting brackets.

3. FEATURES
High Picture Quality
Digital compression system ensures high-quality picture, audio recording, and playback.
Extended-Time Recording
Built-in 120 GB (C-DR0100), 240 GB (C-DR0101) and 500 GB (C-DR0105) large-capacity hard disks permit
extended-time recording.
Can Be Used In Conjunction With Switchers
Can be connected to TOA’s switcher system and used in place of analog time-lapse VCRs. In systems that
use a Multi-switcher (C-MS91D and C-MS161D), the Series Recording function that permits continuous
recording with the connection of two Digital Video Recorders can be enabled, and the switcher’s motion
detection function can be used as an alarm input to provide efficient surveillance by means of Alarm
Recording.
Simultaneous Recording/Playback
Recorded images can be played back without interrupting recording.
Pre-Alarm Recording
Pre-Alarm function performs retroactive recording to a maximum of 5 minutes before alarm activation.
Search Function
Three search functions Date/Time Search, Block Search, and Time Shift Search permit desired scenes to be
quickly found and viewed.
Mirroring Recording (C-DR0101, C-DR0105)
The C-DR0101 and C-DR0105 has two built-in hard disk drives. Mirroring refers to the simultaneous recording
of data onto the two hard disks. Even if one of the disks fails, recording and playback can still be performed
using the other disk. The possibility of data loss due to hard disk failure is greatly reduced, increasing
reliability.
Networking Function
An RS-232C interface and a 100BASE-TX Ethernet port are standard.

Note: The RS-232C control software is not standard.

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Use the Digital Video Recorder in locations with ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C, and
humidity levels of less than 80% to ensure that no condensation is formed.
• When moving the Recorder, first switch off the main power and then wait at least 30 seconds before moving.
• Avoid moving the Recorder suddenly from a cold location to a warm location, or installing it in close proximity
to an air-conditioner outlet, as internal condensation could result. When condensation occurs, do not switch
on the power until the Recorder has sufficiently dried.
• Avoid installing the Recorder in humid or dusty locations, or in locations exposed to direct sunlight, sooty
smoke or steam. Note that even in locations which are not particularly dusty, dust may accumulate at the
Recorder’s ventilation slots. Because this could cause an extreme rise in temperature inside the Recorder,
be sure to clean the ventilation slots periodically after switching off the main power and disconnecting the
power supply cord from the AC outlet. It is highly recommended that the ventilation slots be cleaned once a
year.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and the plug (disconnecting device) shall be easily
accessible.
• To clean, be sure to first switch off the main power and then wipe with a dry cloth. If the Recorder is
particularly dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral detergent. Never use benzene, thinner or chemicallyimpregnated towels, which may damage the Recorder’s surface.
• Do not block the ventilation slots or cooling fan, which could cause the temperature inside the Recorder to
rise, possibly resulting in unit failure. Install the Recorder at least 100 mm away from the nearest wall
surface.
• Since the Recorder is equipped with a cooling fan, a motor sound is generated.
• Do not install the Recorder in locations influenced by strong electrical or magnetic fields, as monitor screen
pictures may become distorted or the Recorder could fail.
• Avoid jarring or striking the Recorder. The Recorder is a piece of precision equipment and accidentally
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts could cause its failure. When transporting the Recorder,
carefully pack it in the supplied carton to protect it from shock.
• Do not use the Recorder in locations exposed to vibration to avoid failure. Avoid installing the Recorder
vertically or tilting it at extreme angles, since it is designed to be used in a horizontal position only.
• About the hard disks
Hard disks other than those specified by TOA cannot be used. Since the hard disks are pieces of precision
equipment, take special care in handling not to accidentally drop, bump or jar them, lest they should fail.
If a hard disk on which condensation is formed is used, it could fail. Therefore, when brought into a warm
room from the cold outdoors, be sure to leave it unused for at least half a day before using it. If the hard disk
fails, recorded data cannot be restored.
• TOA takes no responsibility for any incidental damage, such as loss of sales opportunities, that may result
from the Digital Video Recorder’s failure.
• The standby function is used to enable transportation of the unit from one place to another when
circumstances do not permit its main power supply to be turned off. While in standby mode, power continues
to be supplied to the unit, but its hard disk and fan are stopped. If the unit is left in standby mode for long
periods of time, heat can build-up inside the unit, potentially shortening its operating life. To avoid this, be
sure to turn off the main power supply when the unit is not in use.

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) has not tested the performance or reliability of the security aspects
of this product. UL has only tested for fire, shock or casualties as outlined in UL's Standard(s) for
Safety. UL Certification does not cover the performance or reliability of the security hardware and
security operating software. UL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR
CERTIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR RELIABILITY OF ANY
SECURITY RELATED FUNCTIONS OF THIS PRODUCT.

Setting the Disk Mode to "MIRRORING" permits the same recording to be performed simultaneously on the
two built-in hard disks. Should one of the two disks fail, the other disk will continue recording or playing back
to ensure automatic backup. Be sure to first format both disks before performing Mirroring Recording to
make their available recording times equal.
When a difference in available recording time between the two disk drives exists, recording can continue if
one of the two disks becomes full, provided recording time remains available on the other disk. However,
this will no longer be Mirroring Recording. The maximum available Mirroring Recording time can be checked
by setting the remaining time display to "MIN."

13. CONNECTIONS
13.1. Preparations for Connections
Switch off the power to the Digital Video Recorder and all connected equipment before performing
connections. The Digital Video Recorder has built-in hard disks. To avoid damage to them, when moving the
Digital Video Recorder, be sure to leave the Recorder’s Main Power switch turned off for at least 30 seconds
before moving.
13.1.1. Control Input/Output Terminal Connections
Applicable cables are as follows:
• Solid cable :
AWG28 (ø 0.32mm) – AWG22(ø 0.65mm)
• Twisted cable: AWG28 (0.08mm2) – AWG22(0.32mm2)
To connect, remove the cable sheath 10 mm from the cable end, and then insert the cable into the terminal
pressing on the tab on the terminal using a screwdriver.

13.2. When Using the 24V AC or 12V DC or AC Mains Camera:
Connect the Digital Video Recorder’s Video Input terminal to the camera’s video output terminal.

13.3. Connections to the Monitor TV
The Digital Video Recorder’s terminals to be connected to the monitor differ depending on the type of
connected equipment.
• When the Digital Video Recorder is not connected to the Multi-switcher:
Connect the Recorder’s Video Output terminal to the monitor’s video input terminal, and the Recorder’s
Audio Output terminal to the monitor’s audio input terminal.
• When the Digital Video Recorder is connected to the Multi-switcher:
Connect the Recorder’s Switcher Video Output terminal to the monitor’s video input terminal, and the
Recorder’s Audio Output terminal to the monitor’s audio input terminal.

13.4. Combination With The Digital Video Recorder/ Multi-switchers (C-MS91D and C-MS161D)
The Digital Video Recorder has been designed with an emphasis on the synchronization with the TOA Multiswitchers (C-MS91D, C-MS161D).
By synchronizing the Digital Video Recorder with the Multi-switcher, the following advantages – unavailable to
conventional systems using analog time-lapse VCRs – can be realized.
1. The Multi-switcher does not need to be operated when operating the Digital Video Recorder.
2. The Digital Video Recorder’s main menu screen or search screen can be easily displayed, facilitating
settings and search operations.
The combined Digital Video Recorder/Multi-switcher system is called a basic system in this manual.
Since the Multi-switcher has 2 VCR output terminals, hard disk space can be doubled by connecting two
Digital Video Recorders. This system is called an expansion system. The expansion system does not permit
the synchronization between the Digital Video Recorder and the Multi-switcher.
13.4.1. Basic System
Perform connections as shown in connection examples. (Refer to p. 43)
Set the Multi-switcher (C-MS91D and C-MS161D) and the Digital Video Recorder as follows:
• Multi-switcher settings
• Digital Video Recorder settings

*2 Recording Pattern, Motion Detection Pattern, Camera/ VCR mode selection, and Time Synchronization
switcher functions can all be controlled by the Digital Video Recorder. However, when syncronizing the
switcher's clock from the Recorder, set the Recorder's clock Time Synchronization setting to "MASTER."
Time synhronization cannot be performed if set to "SLAVE."
When only performing time synchronization, set the communication swither synchronization setting to
"TIME SYNC." Please note that in this mode Recording Pattern,Motion Detection Pattern, and Camera/
VCR mode selection functions cannot be controlled.
• For more information on the Multi-switcher’s settings, refer to the instruction manual for the Multi-switcher.
13.4.2. Expansion System (Series Recording)
Perform connections as shown in connection examples. (Refer to p. 44)
The Digital Video Recorder settings are as follows:

• Operation
If the first Digital Video Recorder’s hard disk space becomes full, a signal is provided from the Disk Full Output
terminal. When the signal is received at the second Digital Video Recorder’s Recording Start Input terminal, its
Disk Full mode is reset, allowing recording to be started in the second unit.
Note
• Recording operation and Internal Timer Recording cannot be performed at the front panel of the Digital
Video Recorder set to Disk Full mode.
• Multi-switcher can be synchronized from the unit set to master through the RS-232C interface.Set

16. EXTERNAL TERMINAL SPECIFICATIONS
16.1. RS-232C Communication Specifications
The Digital Video Recorder’s RS-232C interface permits remote control using a connected PC.
Note
• Control software is not supplied as standard.
• Communication specifications are those set when the Switcher Synchronization selection on the
Communication Setting Screen is set to "OFF."
• TOA takes no responsibility for any inconvenience or damage to customer hardware or software which may
result from the use of control software based on the specifications described in this section.
16.1.1. The Rules of Overall Communications
1. All communications are established by means of a command from the controller.
2. Responses are always present in mutual communications.
3. The response timeout period is 1 second, and the timeout period between continuous data is 100
milliseconds. When the timeout occurs, the corresponding communications are regarded as failed.
4. Data is only updated when a communication setting content update command is received while in Standby
mode or in Idle and Recording Pause mode. No setting content update commands are accepted during
system activation, error message indication, menu screen display, search screen display, playback,
recording (Include Alarm Recording Setting’s Alarm is set to “VALID.”) or while in timer mode (DEL is
returned).
5. When command operation cannot be performed, received data is discarded and any commands are
regarded as invalid.
