2 Open-package check and cable connections
2.1 Open-package check
When you receive the DVR, please check at first.
First, please check whether there is any visible damage to the package appearance. The protective materials
used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation.
Then, please open the box and get rid off the plastic protective materials. Check whether there is any visible
damage to the DVR appearance.
At last, please open the machine crust and check the data wire in the front panel, power wire, the connection
between the fan power and the main board.
Front panel and rear panel
The key function specification in the front panel and the interface specification in the real panel are in
the specification.
Please check the product type in the front panel whether is accordant with the product type you order.
The label in the real panel is very important for the after service. Please protect it carefully. When you
contact us for after service, please provide the product type and serial number in the label.

2.5 Audio and video input and output connections
2.5.1 Video input connections
The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0V
P-P
,75Ω).
The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the high signal to noise ratio, low
aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the appropriate brightness.
Insure the vidicon signal stable and credible
The vidicon should be installed in the appropriate location where is away from backlighting and low
illumination or adopts the better backlighting and low illumination compensation.
The ground and power supply of the vidicon and the DVR should be shared and stable.
Insure the transmission line stable and credible
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the transmission
9
distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video compensation
equipment and transmit by fiber to insure the signal quality.
The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other equipments signal
lines. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.
Insure the connection stable and credible
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which avoid false and joint welding and
oxidation.
2.5.2 Video output connections and options
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0V
P-P
,75Ω) and VGA output(selective configuration).
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.
1、Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
2、Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3、Stay away from the electro magnetic Interference.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control the power
supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The creepage of low quality TV can lead
to the damage of other equipments.
2.5.3 Audio signal input
Audio port is BNC connection.
The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electro magnetic Interference and connected credible
which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.
2.5.4 Audio signal output
Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ(BNC) which can connect
the low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipments through power amplifier.
If the sound box and the tone arm can not be isolated, howling phenomena is often existed. There are some
methods to deal with the above phenomena.
1、 Adopt better directional tone arm.
10
2、 Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling phenomena.
3、 Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.
4、 Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.
2.6 Alarm input and output connections
１、Alarm input
A. Alarm input is grounding alarm input.
B. Alarm input demand is the grounding voltage signal.
C. When the alarm is connected with two DVRs or connected with DVR and other equipments, it should be
isolated by relay.
２、Alarm output
Alarm output can not be connected with high-power load(no more than 1A).When forming the output loop it
must prevent the big current from relay damage. Use the contact isolator when there is a high-power load
３、PTZ decoder connections
A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and DVR must be shared otherwise the common-mode voltage will
lead to the PTZ control failure. The shielded twisted pair is recommended.
B. Avoid the entrance of high voltage. Make the layout reasonably. Take precaution from the thunder.
C. In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and insure the signal
quality.
D. The 485 AB lines of DVR can not be connected with other 485 output equipments paralleled.
E. The voltage between the AB lines of the decoder must be less than 5V.
4、Front equipment grounding note
Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the chip.
5、Alarm input type unlimited
The DVR alarm output port is constant opening type.

3 Basic operation
Note: The button in gray display indicates nonsupport.
3.1 Turn on
Plug the power supply and turn on the power supply switch. Power supply indicator light shining indicates
turning on the video recorder. After the startup you will hear a beep. The default setting of video output is
multiple-window output mode. If the startup time is within the video setting time, the timing video recording
function will start up automatically. Then the video indicator light of corresponding channel is shining and the
DVR is working normally.
Note:1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.
2. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.
3.2 Turn off
There are two methods to turn off the DVR. Entering [main menu] and choosing [turn off] in the [turn off the
system] option is called soft switch. Pressing the power supply switch is called hard switch.
Illumination:
1、Auto resume after power failure
If the DVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and resume previous working
status after power failure.
2、Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the real panel must be turned off.
3、Replace the battery
Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved and the power supply switch in the
real panel must be turned off. The DVR uses button battery. The system time must be checked regularly. If
the time is not correct you must replace the battery, we recommend replacing the battery every year and using
the same battery type.
Note: The setting information must be saved before replacing the battery otherwise information will lose.

3.3 Login
When the DVR boots up, the user must login and the system provides the corresponding functions with the
user purview. There are three user settings. The names are admin, guest and default and these names have no
password. Admin is the super user purview; guest and default’s permissions are preview and video playback.
User admin and guest’s password can be revised, while their permissions can’t be revised; user default is the
default login user whose permission can be revised but not its password.
Picture3.1 Login
Password protection: If the password is continuous wrong three times, the alarm will start. If the
password is continuous wrong five times, the account will be locked. (Through reboot or after half an hour,
the account will be unlocked automatically).
For your system security, please modify your password after first login.
