Chapter 2 Installation and Connections

2.1 DVR Installation

During installation of the DVR:

 Use brackets for rack mounting.
 Ensure ample room for audio and video cables.
 When routing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its

diameter.

 Connect the alarm cable.
 Allow at least 2 cm (≈0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
 Ensure the DVR is grounded.
 Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 to +55º C, +14 to +131º F.
 Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% to 90%.

2.2 Hard Disk Installation

Before you start
Before installing a hard disk drive (HDD), please make sure the power is disconnected from the DVR. A factory
recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
One or two SATA hard disks can be installed depending on different models.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.

As the installation steps of HDD are similar among different models, here we just take an example.

Step 1 Remove the cover from the DVR by unfastening the screws on the back side.

Figure 2-1 Remove Cover

Step 2 Connect one end of the data cable to the motherboard of DVR and the other end to the HDD.
