4. Precautions – Routine Maintenance!
Item 1. Check to see if the LED (Light Emitting Diode) is on.
If DVR unit does not have LED light on please check first if
power button is on or off and make sure that it is at
POWER ON position.
If you still do not see LED light, then please check power adapter and outlet.
Item 2. Make sure that HDD Overwrite (Hard Disk Drive) is enabled.
If DVR unit does not have HDD Overwrite not enabled HDD
will only write video information until HDD’s capacity
reaches maximum capacity.
This may result in latest recorded video information not
being present in DVR unit.
Chapter 9, Section 2. DISK MANAGER GUI on page 77 covers more details about setting
HDD Overwrite option.
Item 3. Hard Disk Drive is the only moving devices found on DVR
unit. As with many moving devices users must pay special
attention to the wellness and optimal functionality of such
devices. Your HDD is where video information is kept for
future review.
In the DVR unit there are HDD S.M.A.R.T. features that
monitor the wellness of HDD disk itself. The S.M.A.R.T displays the current hard drive
condition and temperature of the hard disk drive. The S.M.A.R.T is abbreviated from
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, where hard disk manufacturers
have implemented to warn possible failing condition of hard disk drive. It recommended
that HDD with bad sectors, broken images when video images are played back, hear
clicking noise, and DVR unit indicating that it is no longer recording video, then it may
well be that there are defective HDD in DVR unit.
Please contact your seller or their authorized repair center for further instruction.
Later in this manual Chapter 9 section “S.M.A.R.T(Disk Management)” pages 78 will
explain more about HDD S.M.A.R.T. features.

Connect the cameras to the Video In ports located on the rear panel of the DVR using the proper cables
and connectors (BNC Twist Lock). The corresponding video channels can be “looped” out using the
“loop out” ports located beneath each video input port. There is no need for terminators to be installed,
each port is self terminated. Both NTSC and PAL signals are automatically detected by the DVR and
requires no further configuration.
[Please refer to the Figure 1 (4ch Model), Figure 2 (9ch Model), Figure 3 (16ch Model) item marked “⑨”

Optional Alarm Sensor Extension Box
There is optional Alarm Sensor Extension Box that connects to RS-232 port provided in our DVR unit.
① Power switch
② Power adaptor connector
③ RS-232 port (Port connected to the system)
④ Sensor input (1~16)
⑤ Normal Open alarm output : 1~16
⑥ Normal Close alarm output : 1~16
Figure 11 Connection Example of Extension Box
Sensor 1~16 inputs functions same as the S1~S4 inputs (see next section in 10-way terminal Block).
Difference is that every port is issued with its own ground connection located right below. Additionally
there are 16 NO (Normally Open) dry contact points with dedicated ground and 16 NC (Normally Closed)
dry contact point with dedicated ground per points. These NO, NC points are used in Access control
integration.
