       Record images from multiple Network Cameras
        Still or motion Images can be recorded over an intranet or via the internet.
         Images from multiple cameras can be recorded simultaneously.*

         * The number of camera images which can be recorded simultaneously varies
             by the performance capabilities of the computer.

 
  1. [NEW] Support for Network Cameras with preset and zoom capabilities
    Preset positions* and the zoom feature** of your Network Camera(s) can be utilized.
       * KX-HCM280, KX-HCM270, KX-HCM250, KX-HCM230, KX-HCM10 only
      ** KX-HCM280 only

     
  2. Motion-triggered recording
    You can record images when the camera detects movement, allowing you to record only what you need to record.
       * The accuracy of this feature will vary by image resolution,
          picture quality, and the type of image being recorded.

     
  3. Camera Bar
    When the Network Camera Recorder is minimized, images from your Network Cameras can be displayed in the Camera Bar. This allows you to keep an eye on things while you work with other applications.

     
  4. [NEW]Recorded Image Search
    Images can be searched for by date and time, giving you quick access to your recorded  Network Camera images.

     
  5. [NEW]Camera List
    A moving preview of all cameras can be displayed. Image preview sizes can be scaled to one of  6 preset sizes.

     
  6. Remaining hard disk capacity limit
    You can select a minimum remaining hard drive capacity to ensure that your recorded images do not fill your hard drive completely.

     
  7. AVI motion video file conversion
    Recorded camera images can be converted to the popular AVI format, which allows you to view recorded image files on other PCs. Several AVI codecs are available, allowing you to choose the codec that will give you the maximum compatibility with other PCs.

     
  8. Timed recording
    Recording can start and end automatically on preprogrammed days at preprogrammed times. This feature can be used in conjunction with motion-triggered recording, allowing you to record images only when the camera detects motion during certain times of the day.

     
  9. Image playback
    Still images (JPEG files) and motion images (MJP files) can be played back. Playback speed is adjustable.

     
  10. Automatic backup
    Recorded image files can be backed up at preprogrammed times.

     
  11. Example of Image Recording Capacities
    (Recording 320x240 still images over a LAN, in "Standard" image quality. File size is approximately 13KB per image.)

    Network Camera approximate number of images which can be stored in internal memory:
      [ 80 images (KX-HCM10, KX-HCM8) ]
      [ 560 images (KX-HCM280, KX-HCM270, KX-HCM230) ]

    Camera Control Unit approximate number of images which can be stored on a 64MB SD memory card:
      [ 5000 images ]

    Network Camera Recorder approximate number of images which can be recorded onto 20GB of available hard drive space:
      [ 1.5 million images ]

     

Note: When recording images from the KX-HCM180 Network Camera in 640x480 resolution, jagged lines may appear when panning horizontally or viewing subjects which are moving horizontally.

Note: If more than 10,000 individual images are captured in JPEG format, system/software performance may become unstable. To increase the number of images which can be recorded, set the Network Camera Recorder to capture images in MJP (motion-JPEG) format.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Camera Configuration / Camera Monitoring
Camera Registration No limitation. Configure as many cameras as desired.
Camera List Images from each camera can be viewed at once.
Preview sizes can be set to one of 6 preset sizes.
Camera Settings Settings for each camera (camera name, resolution, image quality, image format, timer settings, etc.) can be programmed.
Default Camera Settings Default settings which will be applied to all cameras when they are configured for use with the Network Camera Recorder can be assigned.
Camera Image An image from the selected camera will be shown in a larger window.
Resizable Image Window The Image Window can be easily resized to one of 3 preset sizes.
Image Enlarge/Reduce Live and recorded images can be enlarged or reduced (300-25%), or scaled to fit the size of the Image Window.
Camera Control Each camera can be controlled on this software. (Pan, tilt, brightness, resolution, image quality)
* Availability of certain controls will vary by Network Camera model.
Presets Presets 1 to 8 (It links to the Camera)
(KX-HCM280, KX-HCM270, KX-HCM250, KX-HCM230, KX-HCM10 only)
Zoom Tele/Zoom(KX-HCM280 only)
Camera Bar Cameras placed in the Camera Bar can be viewed even when the Network Camera Recorder is minimized.
Camera Link The Top Page of each Network Camera can be opened using your preferred web browser.
Recording
File Format JPEG format: Each still image is stored as one JPEG file.
MJP (motion-JPEG) format: A motion video stream. MJP allows for extended-recording time.
Recording Media Hard disk
File Size File size will vary by recording settings.
Example:
Approximately 1GB for 10 hours of consecutive recording by one camera in standard image mode, 320 x 240-dot resolution, MJP format, 2 frames/sec.
Image Resolution 640x480, 320x240, 160x120
Image Quality Favor motion, Standard, Favor clarity
Recording Interval Full motion (images are recorded as they are received by from the camera)
Still(Images are recorded at programmable intervals. Interval should be over 0.5 second)
Simultaneous Recording Images from up to approximately 10 cameras can be recorded simultaneously in motion-JPEG (MJP) format.*
* Using a PC which meets or surpasses the "recommended" system requirements, shown below. The maximum number of camera images which can be recorded simultaneously will vary by system specifications of the PC.
Manual Recording Recording can be started and stopped manually.
Programmable Maximum Recording Size When the remaining hard disk capacity reaches a programmable number of megabytes, new image files can overwrite old ones, or recording can be stopped altogether.
Motion-Triggered Recording Recording takes place only when motion has been detected. Sensitivity is adjustable.
* The accuracy of this feature will vary by image resolution, picture quality, and the type of image being recorded.
Timed Recording Recording will start and end automatically on preprogrammed days at preprogrammed times.
Remaining Disk Space Limitation When remaining hard disk space reaches a programmed level, recording is automatically stopped. This ensures that camera image recordings do not consume all available space on a hard drive.
Image Control
Continuous Playback A series of recorded still images (JPEG files) can be played consecutively, similar to motion images. The shorter the interval between still image captures, the smoother playback will be. Playback speed is adjustable.
Recorded Image Preview A preview of recorded image files can be displayed.
Recorded Image Control Recorded image files can be copied, moved, and deleted.
Automatic Backup Recorded image files can be automatically backed up at the preset time to a preset location.
File Format Conversion A single motion image file (MJP file) can be converted into a series of single still images (JPEG files). Additionally, a series of still images can then be converted to a single video file (AVI file).
Image Search
Image Search Recorded images can be search for by file format as well as by date and time.
Printing
Image Printing Image files can be printed. Multiple JPEG images can be organized onto a single page.
