3.3.2. HARD DISK INSTALLATION

Tools & Preparation

You will need a Philips-head screwdriver and a hard disk drive to install inside the DVR housing. Hard Disk Specifications: 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drive (maximum capacity is 2TB).

Installation Steps

Make sure to take precautions against static electric discharge when installing the hard disk. Static discharge could damage the drive and the internal components of the DVR. To reduce this risk, it is best to work on an anti-static mat and use a grounding wrist strap.

1. Use a Philips-head screwdriver to remove the DVR’s outer metal housing by removing the two screws on each side of the housing and the one at the upper back edge. Set the screws aside to be used for reassembly.

2. The hard disk will have mounting holes on the underside of the drive and these should line up with the mounting holes in the bottom of the DVR. Orient the drive so that the power and data cable connectors are facing the front of the DVR and align the mounting holes on the hard disk with the mounting holes in the bottom of the DVR.

Use the supplied screws to fasten the hard disk to the DVR’s metal frame by inserting the screws from the outside of the DVR through the housing and then screw them into the hard disk’s mounting holes. To avoid undesirable results it is important that the hard disk be securely mounted to

the DVR.

3. Connect the power and data cables from the DVR circuit board to the hard disk. The connectors are of different sizes and are keyed for easy and correct placement.

4. Replace the DVR outer housing and secure it with the housing screws.

Note:

The capacity of the hard disk determines how much video can be recorded to the hard in addition to whatever DVR parameters (recording or encoding setup) have been set to make the recording. Refer to section 5.10 in Chapter 5 of this manual for more information.

3.3.3. SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Preparation

Before you integrate the DVR into a complete surveillance system, you will need to assemble all the necessary components and connecting cables. These include cameras with their power adapter(s) and connectors, a video display monitor to display the camera video feed, and connecting cables for all devices.

Connecting the DVR to a System

To connect the DVR to the other components in a surveillance system you will need to do the following:

Place the DVR on a flat stable surface and connect the cameras to the video input jacks on the back panel.

Connect the VGA video output port to the system display monitor. Connect a network cable to the RJ45 network interface for connecting to a LAN or other network. Connect the supplied USB mouse to one of the USB 2.0 ports on the rear panel of the DVR. Plug in the AC power adapter into the power jack on the rear panel of the DVR.

Caution:

For an external alarm device or PTZ camera, please refer to its relevant instructions. The DVR power cords should be placed under all other wires and connected correctly.

5.1.1. SUMMARY

Dynamic DNS is a kind of system which assigns an internet domain name to a variable IP address. According to the rules of internet domain names, a domain name must associate with a fixed IP address. Dynamic DNS provides a fixed Name server for the dynamic domain, and then guides the domain search to that IP address using a dynamic user through the Name server, which allows an outside user to connect with the dynamic user’s URL.

5.1.2. VSSIP

VSSIP is a professional dynamic domain name analysis server embedded in this DVR. Please contact your dealer or agent for a DDNS account number. Click enable in the configuration window after getting the account number, and input the account number information.

DIAGR A M 5-2 DNS

The computer will analyze the domain name configured in the DVR, and return to the current IP address, as the graphic shows underlined in red. When the IP address corresponds to the embedded DVR’s IP address in Public internet, it means the DDNS is set up correctly. If they are not the same, please check the network connection of the embedded DVR and the DDNS information.

5.2. PORT MAPPING

Port mapping is the mapping of a port outside of the web host’s IP address to a machine inside the web, and provides service. When a user connects to the port of the IP address, the server will automatically map the request to the corresponding machine on the LAN.

With the port mapping function, we can map many ports of one machine’s IP address to different machines and different ports on the web. Port mapping can also have other special functions, like POP, SMTP, TELNET, etc. Theoretically, it can provide more than sixty thousand ports.

For example, if we want to map a web server which has an IP address of 192.168.111.10, we just need to input the IP address and TCP port 80 into the port mapping chart of the router.

There are two methods to map a port, automatic and manual. The UPnP function automatically maps the port and modifies the router’s port mapping chart.

5.2.1. UPNP FUNCTION

In order to get a connection to the DVR through a Public network, we need to set the Router to cross the NAT of the DVR. UPnP can make the NAT cross automatically via the UPnP agreement of the DVR, and you don’t have to set up the Router.

Note: To use the UPnP Function, there must be Router support and be able to set up the

UPnP Function.

The first step

Connect the Router to the network, access the Router’s configuration menus, set up the Router and enable the UPnP Function.

Routers from different manufacturers may have some differences, please refer to the specific router’s instructions before setting it up.

The second step

Connect the DVR to the Router. The configuration will automatically connect to the IP address or static IP. After setting up the IP address, click the Advanced Configuration and navigate to the menu with ports and multicast etc. Enable 【UPnP port mapping】.

The third step

Enter the Router management interface. Detect the port if there is already Port Mapping. If there is, it shows that the UPnP set up is finished.

The forth step

Input the IP address in a web browser such as Internet Explorer, and add the port number of the DVR, for example: 155.157.12.227:81. If you want to enter by the Client Software, use the TCP port offered by the outer network.

Note: If there are a few DVRs that need to be set up via the UPnP function, in order to avoid IP

conflict, set the ports of the embedded DVR to different port numbers. Otherwise, it will choose a previously set up DVR port as the first choice.

5.2.2. MANUAL PORT MAPPING

The first step

Connect the DVR to a Router and set up a static IP address.

The second step

Log in to the Router, access its configuration menu, and enter the required settings. Then go to the port, set the IP address distributed by the DVR, and set the rules for port mapping, add the HTTP and TCP ports to the mapping list.

The default access ports of the DVR include HTTP port 80 and TCP port 8000, if the ports are occupied by other devices; please modify the default port of the DVR to other vacant ports.

The third step

Input the public net IP address into the web browser, and add the port number of the DVR you want to access after the IP, for example: http://155.157.12.227:81. If you want to access it via Client Software, you can use the outer network TCP port directly.

5.5. V OICE INTERCOM

5.5.1. SUMMARY

The Voice Intercom function enables the DVR bidirectional communication: The User can talk and listen using the provided remote client software or over the Web via the DVR’s audio input and output ports.

There are two types of bidirectional communication, sharing and standalone. These vary by model. Please refer to your DVR specifications to determine which is supported for your model.

5.5.2. CONFIGURATION

Local Configuration Connect a microphone to the MIC input port and connect a pair of speakers to the audio output port. If there is no standalone MIC input port, please connect a microphone to the Number 1 audio input

port.

Note: The audio needs to be connected to a powered audio output device.

Remote PC Configuration Connect a microphone and powered speakers to the computer. Enable bidirectional communication in the client software or the Web interface.

5.6. HARD DISK REDUNDANCY

The hard disk drive (HDD) redundancy function can backup recorded files. The User can then retrieve files from a redundant HDD if a single HDD is damaged. This enhanced system data safety.

The HDD redundancy function performs a double backup of data from the designated channel to the HDD, so the DVR needs a standalone hard disk for the redundancy function to be effective.

Hard Disk Redundancy Configuration

Open the Main Menu and then the Storage menu to access storage configuration. Select an HDD as the redundant drive, and then click on Setting.

The Redundancy HDD must be an independent drive. The User can set several hard disks as a redundancy HDD group. Once an HDD is assigned as a redundant HDD, recorded data can be saved to both the main HDD and the redundant HDD.

The data on the redundant HDD should be automatically cycled; the cycle period depends on the recording data and the capacity of the redundant HDD.

Note: Make sure there are two HDDs, with at least one in the DVR. One is for read and write

and the other for redundancy.

Channel Redundancy Configuration

The User can choose some or all of the channels to back-up. Go to 【Configuration】→【Record 】 and choose a channel, then check the 【Redundancy】 box.

Note: Data can only be saved to a normal read/write HDD if Redundancy is not enabled.

Retrieve HDD Redundancy

The User can retrieve backup recordings from the back-up HDD when the main R/W HDD is damaged or data is lost. First, shut down the DVR and remove the damaged HDD, then restart DVR. Next, go to 【Main menu】→【Storage】 and set the back-up (redundant) HDD as the main read/write HDD, after which it can be searched.

5.7. HDD S.M.A.R.T

S.M.A.R.T, or “Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology”, is a hard disk technology that is incorporated into some hard disk drives.

A S.M.A.R.T HDD can analyze the drive’s head, disc, motor, circuit operation, history and default security values via monitoring instructions in the HDD and the surveillance software. An alarm will automatically be sent to the user when a value is outside the scope of the security situation.

Detection parameters for a Seagate HDD, for example, are divided into seven parts: ID detection code, Attribute Description, Threshold, Attribute Value, Worst, Date, and Status.

1. ID Detection Code

ID detection codes are not uniform; different manufacturers may assign varying attributes to an ID code number, or increase or decrease the quantity according to the detected parameter’s quantity.

For example, an ID detection code for Western Digital HDDs is “04”, and the procedure is Start/Stop Count, but the procedure for the same code in a Fujitsu HDD is the “number of times the spindle motor is activated”.

2. Attribute Description

Attribute Description: Name of detectable item. The manufacturer can increase or decrease the rates. As an ATA standard there are constant updates, sometimes different models of the same brand may be quite different, but it is a must to ensure that the major test items are specified by S.M.A.R.T. (although different manufacturers may have differing names, the essence of the monitoring is the same.)

1 Read Error Rate 2 Spin up Time 4 Start/Stop Count 5 Relocated Sector Count 7 Seek Error Rate 9 Power-on Hour

s Count

10 Spin-up Retry Count

194 Power temperatures 195 ECC on the Fly count 197 Current Pending Sector Count 198 Disconnection beyond repair 199 CRC cyclic redundancy check 200 Write Error Count

Note: Different manufacturers and different models have different attribute descriptions. The

user does not need to know the exact meanings, and attribute detection values are good enough.

3 Threshold

This is specified by a manufacturer-calculated formula. If there is an attribute value lower than the threshold, this means the HDD has become unreliable and could easily lose data stored on it. The composition and size of reliable attribute values are different for different HDDs. It should be noted that the ATA standard only provides some S.M.A.R.T. parameters; it does not provide specific values. A "Threshold" value is determined by the manufacturer based on the product’s features. Thus, results produced by the manufacturer’s detection software are very different from testing software in Windows (such as AIDA32).

4 Attribute Value

Attribute value is the maximum normal value; the general range is from 1 to 253. Typically, the maximum attribute value is 100 (for IBM, Quantum, and Fujitsu) or 253 (for Samsung). Of course, there are some exceptions, for example, some models produced by Western Digital have two different attribute values, and the property value is set to 200 during production, but after that it is changed to 100.

5 Worst

The worst value is the largest non-normal value in the normal operation of an HDD. It is a value calculated for an HDD’s cumulative running. It is constantly refreshed according to the drive’s running cycle, and it is very close to the threshold. Whether or not the HDD is normal by S.M.A.R.T analysis is based on the comparison with the threshold value. The maximum value appears when using a new HDD, which continues to decrease with everyday use or if an error happens. Consequently, larger attribute values mean better quality and higher reliability and smaller values mean a greater possibility of failure.

6 Dates

Actual values of an HDD’s detection of items; many of the values are cumulative values.

7 Status

The drive Status is current when all of the HDD’s attributes are analyzed and compared by the S.M.A.R.T. system. It is also important information to judge if the HDD is healthy or not.

There are three Status states: Normal, Alarm and Error, which are closely related to the Pre-failure/advisory BIT.

5.8. DVR FIRMWARE UPDATE:

You can update the DVR firmware using a downloaded update file. (1) Uncompress the DVR update file (e.g. DeviceUpdate_V1.10.R.20120822.rar) (2) Double-click the DVR network update tool (RECUpgrade.exe) as below:

(3) Enter the IP address and TCP port code of the DVR device. Click on Login and a login window will display:

(4) Enter a User name and password and click on OK to log in to the DVR： (5) Drag the "updatepacket.bin" file to the entry box which shows after opening the files as

illustrated below:

(6). Click the BIOS button to the updating.

(7). USB UPDATE

Re-name the updatepacket.bin file to vss.bin, put it into the root directory of a USB drive, then plug the USB drive into the USB port on the DVR. Using the DVR’s OSD interface, go to Main Menu > Maintenance > Version and click on Start to install the update.

5.9. T ERMS

Dual-stream

Dual-stream: one high bit rate stream for the local HDD for storage QCIF/CIF/2CIF/DCIF/4CIF coding; uses other low bit rate stream for network transmissions, such as QCIF / CIF coding.

I Frame

I frame: intra-frame images, removes redundant information to compress the transmittable data, also known as key frames.

B Frame

B frame: According to a time redundancy of the source image sequence, the previously encoded frame accounts for the source image after the encoded frame is compressed, also known as the bi-directional prediction frame.

P Frame

P-frame: Image frames are lower quality than the previous B Frame, also known as predicted frames.

Wide Dynamic

Bright parts and dark parts in particular can be seen very clearly at the same time. Wide dynamic range is a ratio between the brightest luminance signal value and the darkest value.

S M A R T.

S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology): Now widely used in hard disk data security technology, a monitoring system analyzes motor, circuit, HDD and disk head when a HDD is running, and warns you when there is an abnormality.

CVBS

Composite Video Broadcast Signal, consists of luminance and color signals from the composite baseband signal.

BNC

Coaxial cable connector, composite video signals or audio signals, commonly use 75 ohm connectors. BNC welding is used and you should inspect the strength of the weld and remove burrs, or the signal wire and shield’s contacts will lead to a substantial decrease of signal strength.

5.10. HDD CAPACITY CA LCULATION

5.10.1. HDD CAPACITY CALCULATION REFERENCE

When first installing the DVR, check if the DVR’s internal HDD has been properly installed. There is no capacity limitation for the DVR’s internal HDD, choose an appropriate capacity HDD

according to your recording requirements. HDD Capacity Formula:

HDD Recording Capacity = number of channels × time in use (hours) × HDD space used per recording hour (MB/hour)

You can calculate the formula for recording time:
