Chapter 2 Installation and Connections
2.1 NVR Installation
During installation of the NVR:
1. Use brackets for rack mounting.
2. Ensure ample room for audio and video cables.
3. When routing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its diameter.
4. Connect the alarm cable.
5. Allow at least 2cm (≈0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
6. Ensure the NVR is grounded.
7. Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 to +55º C, +14 to +131º F.
8. Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% to 90%.
2.2 Hard Disk Installation
Before you start:
Disconnect the power from the NVR before installing a hard disk drive (HDD). A factory recommended HDD
should be used for this installation.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.
As the installation steps of HDD are similar among different models, here we take the steps of one model as the
example.
Steps:
1. Remove the cover from the NVR by unfastening the screws on the rear and side panel.
Figure 2. 1 Remove Cover
2. Connect one end of the data cable to the motherboard of NVR and the other end to the HDD.
10
Page 12
Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide
Figure 2. 2 Connect Data Cable
3. Connect the power cable to the HDD.
Figure 2. 3 Connect Power Cable
4. Place the HDD on the bottom of the device and then fasten the screws on the bottom to fix the HDD.

Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide
2.3 Connections
2.3.1 Alarm Input Wiring
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. To connect the alarm input to the device, use the following diagram.
If the alarm input is not an open/close relay, please connect an external relay between the alarm input and the
device.
Figure 2. 5 Alarm Input Wiring
2.3.2 Alarm Output Wiring
To connect to an alarm output (AC or DC load), use the following diagram:
Figure 2. 6 Alarm Output Wiring
For DC load, the jumpers can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely.
To connect an AC load, jumpers should be left open (you must remove the jumper on the motherboard in the
NVR). Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP6, JP9, JP10, and JP11) on the motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By
default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, jumpers should be removed.
Example:
If you connect an AC load to the alarm output 3 of the NVR, then you must remove the JP 3 jumper.
2.3.3 Using Alarm Connectors
To connect alarm devices to the NVR:
12
Page 14
Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.
2. Unfasten stop screws from the pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and fasten stop screws. Ensure
signal cables are tight.
3. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
