This chapter provides instructions on installing and connecting the cameras supplied with the
system and connecting the DVR.
INST ALLING AND CONNECTING THE CAMERAS
Here are some general safety and installation tips when installing the cameras:
Do not attempt to open a camera. There are no user-serviceable parts in side.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
When using power tools wear safety goggles. Before drilling holes through a
wall or ceiling, check for hidden electricity cables and water pipes.
When installing a camera on an external wall, pass the power cable through the
wall as close as possible to the camera to reduce the chance of t ampering. After
drilling any hole though an external wall for cable, make sure the hole is sealed
around the cable.
1 Select the position for the camera and install a mounting bracket (supplied).
Screws and anchors are supplied. Use an appropriate screw type for the mounting surface.
2 Screw the camera onto the bracket. Tighten the lock nut to secure the camer a on
the bracket.

subject. Tighten the thumb bolt.

Problem Solution
Make sure the cameras and receiver are plugged in.
No picture.
A white image appears at
night.
Make sure the TV/ VCR/ DVR is tuned to the correct input
channel.
The camera's infrared LEDs shine invisible light that
reflects off surfaces such as glass causing white light.
Place the camera on the other side of windows or place the
lens flush against the surface to improve night vision.
Relocate the camera to a well-lit area.
Troubleshooting
The display turns off after
30 minutes.
Why does the DVR run
slow when it starts?
Why does the system keep
rebooting after the host
self-test?
Why does the system turn
off when a video is playing
or when checking video
information during the
normal routine?
Why does the video
display only in black and
white?
This is a feature of the product designed to protect the LCD
screen from overheating and burning out.
There may be too much data on the HDD. The DVR checks
data when it starts and this may cause the system to start
slowly.
HDD error – The system tests the HDD repeatedly during
startup and this may cause the system to start slowly.
Check the HDD. Make sure the HDD partition is not in the
FAT32 format, and that the HDD does not have a problem.
Either of these situations could cause the host to reboot.
Check Video Parameter setting, if the host is in the PAL
state but the video input is NTSC, the host will keep
rebooting.
Check the HDD connection and make sure it is secure.
Change the HDD if there is a problem.
Check to make sure the video input, DVR host, monitor,
and TV format match. If they do not match, set the monitor
or TV format to the auto detect state.
Why does real-time video
and record data have color
and light distortion
problems?
Reboot DVR, in order to recover previous settings.
Adjust Video setting in the DVR setting menu.

Troubleshooting
Model HS-4700-S User's Manual
Problem Solution
Check to make sure the power adaptor is working and the
output is connected properly.
Why is there no display on
the monitor or computer
VGA?
Why does the video have
"water waves"?
Make sure the monitor is turned on and the video cable is
connected properly.
Connect the power and turn on the DVR, if there is a blue
screen, but no video on the monitor, change to a
corresponding channel to attempt to display the video.
There might be a broken video cable, short circuit, or bad
solder connection.
The video cable can be disturbed by strong power so make
sure it is not next to a strong power cable. Use a good
quality cable.
In this system, only a single line connected to the ground is
permitted. Please connect the host to the ground through the
ground screw located on the back panel.
Make sure the camera, monitor or cables do not have aging
problems.
