3 Installation and Connections

Note: All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electric safety rules.

3.1 Check Unpacked DVR

When you receive the DVR from the shipping agency, please check whether there is any visible damage to the DVR appearance. The protective materials used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation. Then you can open the box to check the accessories. Please check the items in accordance with the list on the warranty card. Finally you can remove the protective film of the DVR.

3.2 HDD Installation

3.2.1 Choose HDDs

We recommend Seagate HDD of 7200rpm or higher.

3.2.2 Calculate HDD Size

This series have no limit to HDD capacity. You can use 120G-750G HDD to guarantee higher stability. The formula of total HDD size is: Total Capacity (MB) = Camera Amount * Recording Hours * HDD Usage Per Hour (M/h) H.264 compression is ideal for standalone DVRs. It can save more than 30% HDD capacity than MPEG4. When you calculate the total HD capacity, you should estimate the average HDD capacity per hour for each channel. For example, for a 4-ch DVR, the average capacity of HDD usage per hour per channel is 200M/h. Now if you hope the DVR can record the video 12 hours each day for 30 days, the total capacity of HDDs needed is: 4 channels * 30 days * 12 hours * 200 M/h = 288G. So you need to install one 300G HDD or 2 160G HDDs.

3.2.3 HDD Installation

Data ribbons, fastening screws and smart HDD shelf design are already provided in the accessories bag.

Please follow the instructions below to install hard disk.

They are just the same with video distributors. There are 4/8/16-ch video loop outputs from our DVR. The DVR video output can connect with other devices such as TV walls, analog matrix and so on.

5.5.8.2 Matrix outputs They are like the small-scale matrix. You can select any camera from our DVR to switch. And the output can also tour between the cameras. So the matrix outputs can be used to build TV walls and tour and display the cameras one by one.

5.5.8.3 Rear Panel Connection The rear panel is shown as below. See 440H440HFigure 5-36.

Figure 5-36

Figure 5-39

5.5.8.6 Video Matrix Interface and Application The video matrix interface is shown as in 444H444HFigure 5-40.

Now LBL-S series support 4-channel matrix outputs and LBH-S series support 1 channel matrix output. All the operation below based on LBL-S series DVR.

You can set for each channel. The function consists of three types. The priority is: alarm>motion detection>schedule.

5.5.8.6.1 Scheduled Video Output (Scheduled Tour)

Please enable corresponding video output item and input tour interval, and then set the tour output channel. System maximally supports 16 channels. Now system can implement tour output as you just set.

Figure 5-40

5.5.8.6.2 Alarm Activation Matrix

Please go to alarm setup interface to set the alarm activate matrix function ((Main Menu->Setting->Alarm)). See 445H445HFigure 5-41. You can follow the steps listed below:

z Select local alarm z The record channel function has been enabled and you have selected

corresponding record channel. z The video matrix function has been enabled and you have selected

corresponding video matrix channel. After selecting activation channel in the record channel item, you can enable video matrix function and then select vide output channel. Once the alarm occurs, system continues scheduled matrix tour after alarm tour completes. If there is no scheduled tour available, the matrix will stop at the last activation channel after alarm completes.

When there are several alarm inputs at the same time, the situation maybe a little bit complex. Here is an example. System setup is shown as below:

z Alarm input 1 can activate channel1/2/3/4/5/6 z Alarm input 2 can activate channel 2/3/4/5/6/7/8 z Alarm input 1 and alarm input 2 activate video output 1.

So, when there is alarm from channel 1, video output 1 becomes valid. If there is no alarm from alarm input 2 during the same period, then video output 1 can tour between channel1/2/3/4/5/6. When video output 1 goes to channel 3 and there is alarm form channel2, then video output 1 tour between 4/5/6/7/8/2. The general principles are: z When alarm activate, each valid channel alarm input can activate a complete

tour between activation channels.

z When there are several alarm inputs in the same video matrix output, system

video matrix can activate all the channels in the setup. z If system has toured some activation channels, then corresponding alarm

activation channels are null.

Figure 5-41

5.5.8.6.3 Motion Detection (including video loss and camera masking)

Motion detection principle is the same as alarm. You can set in motion detection interface (Main menu->Setting->Detect). See 446H446HFigure 5-42. In detect interface, you can set the activation channel. You can enable video matrix function if you want to set matrix function, and then set video matrix output channel. Once the activation occurs, system continues scheduled matrix tour after motion detection tour completes. If there is no scheduled tour available, the matrix will stop at the last activation channel after alarm completes

Select alarm input channel

Corresponding to video out put in

Figure 5-40.

Figure 5-42

5.5.8.6.4 General Tour Principle

When system is in scheduled tout status, once the alarm occurs, system first check video matrix function has been enabled or not and there is effective matrix or not. System will continue implementing scheduled tour in the following two conditions:

z Video output function has not been enabled. z There is no video matrix setup available.

If there is valid video matrix setup, system can activate corresponding tour among alarm channels and then begin scheduled tour after alarm tour completes. If there is no schedule tour available, the matrix will stop at the last activation channel after alarm completes.

Motion detection activation is almost the same as the alarm. But it has different priority. System will continue implementing scheduled tour in the following two conditions:

z Video output function has not been enabled. z There is no video matrix setup available.

If there is a valid video matrix setup, system will check weather there is tour of higher priority and implement corresponding process. During the motion detection tour, system will process alarm first if alarm occurs. It is the same as alarm occurs in scheduled tour period.
