for HDD capacity.
You can refer to the appendix for recommended HDD brand.
Please follow the above steps (chapter 3.3.1) to install the HDD.
3.4 Rack Installation
The DVR occupies 1.5 rack units of vertical rack space.
z Use twelve screws to fix the unit z Please make sure the indoor temperature is below 35 (95°f).
z Please make sure there is 15cm (6 inches) space around the device to guarantee sound
ventilation.
z Please install from the bottom to the top.
z If there are more accessories connected in the rack, please take precaution measures in
case the rack power is overload.
3.5 Connecting Power Supply
Please check input voltage and device power button match or not.
We recommend you use UPS to guarantee steady operation, DVR life span, and other peripheral
equipments operation such as cameras.
3.6 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
3.6.1 Connecting Video Input
The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC1.0VB
P- P ,
B75. See X283H283H283HFigure 3-1.X
The video signal should comply with your national standards.
The input video signal shall have high SNR, low distortion; low interference, natural color and
suitable lightness.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal:
The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable,
explosive substances and etc.
The camera and the DVR should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of the
camera.
Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line
BTTTB
Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according to the
transmission distance.
If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video
compensation devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.
You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially
the high tension current.
Keep connection lugs in well contact
BTTTB
29
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint,
lap welding and oxidation.
BTTTB
4 HDD Series
2 HDD Series
Figure 3-1
3.6.2 Connecting Video Output
Video output includes a TBNC(PAL/NTSC BNC1.0VP- P 75output and a VGA output.
System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time. See
X284H284H284HFigure 3-2X.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following
points:
z To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
z Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
z Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce
the working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low
quality TV may result in device damage.

3.7 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio
3.7.1 Audio Input
These series products audio input port adopt BNC port, matrix and loop use BNC port. Device
supports bidirectional talk via BNC.
Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up. See
X285H285H285HFigure 3-3.
Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose
contact and it shall be away from high tension current.
31
4 HDD Series
2 HDD Series
Figure 3-3
3.7.2 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1K (BNC). It can directly connect to
low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device.
If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In
this case you can adopt the following measures:
z Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
z Reduce the volume of the sound box.
z Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve
acoustics environment.
z Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

2 HDD Series
Figure 3-5
There are two alarm input types for you to select: normal open (NO) and normal close (NC).
1. Alarm input
a. Please make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
b. Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
c. When you are connecting two DVRs or you are connecting one DVR and one other device,
please use a relay to separate them,
2. Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than
1A) to avoid high current which may result in relay damage. Please use the co contactor to
realize the connection between the alarm output port and the load.
3. How to connect PTZ decoder
a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR, otherwise you may not control the PTZ.
Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.
b. Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures. c. For too long signal wires, 120 should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end
to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
d. “485 A, B” of DVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.
e. The voltage between of A,B lines of the decoder should be less than 5v.
4. Please make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed.
Improper grounding may result in chip damage.

3.9 RS232
You can connect the DVR with POS or Keyboard through RS232.
With POS system, the DVR can communicate through RS232 and network. For the POS system, the
DVR can integrate the text content and even search the record through the info.
The series DVR also support NKB operation. You can operate the DVR from the keyboard controls
instead of using the control pad on the front panel of the unit.
To connect a NKB keyboard to the DVR:
1. Assemble the KBD keyboard according to the instructions in its accompanying installation manual.
2. Connect the KBD keyboard into one of the RS232 ports on the DVR or through network.
3.10 RS485
When the DVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up the coaxial cable
to the PTZ device. RS485 is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ device can’t return any data to the
unit. To enable the operation, connect the PTZ device to the RS485 (A,B) input on the DVR. See
X289H289H289HFigure 3-9.
Since RS485 is disabled by default for each camera, you must enable the PTZ settings first. This
series DVRs support multiple protocols such as Pelco-D, Pelco-P.
To connect PTZ devices to the DVR:
1. Connect RS485 A,B on the DVR rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the camera.
3. Please follow the instructions to configure a camera to enable each PTZ device on the DVR.
