RACK MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
A) Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).

LASER SAFETY STATEMENT FOR A CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
This DVD-ROM Storage device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual may
cause harmful interference. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, the
user can attempt to correct this by following one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
The mass storage system does not product hazardous laser radiation. Because laser light emitted inside the
mass storage system is completely confined within the protective housings and external covers, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
Caution Due to the extremely fast rotation speed of the DVD-ROM drive spindle motor
• Check each DVD for cracks before using it. If there are cracks on the surface, especially on the border of
the center hole, do not use it in the DVD-ROM drive. Using such DVDs can cause irreparable damage to
the DVD-ROM drive.
• Do not leave DVDs in direct sunlight or hot, humid locations.
• Always remove DVDs from the drive after use.
• To protect DVDs from scratches, never touch the DVD face or place the DVD face down on a hard
surface.

Keyboard Setup
To attach the keyboard to the DVR, plug the end of the Keyboard cable into the
keyboard PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The keyboard PS/2 Port can
be identified by the purple color.
Mouse Setup
To attach the mouse to the DVR, plug the end of the mouse cable into the mouse PS/2
Port located on the back of the machine. The mouse PS/2 Port can be identified by the
green color.
The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in many different shapes
but are most commonly shaped like an arrow.
The mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and
releasing one of these buttons is called clicking. Sometimes it will be necessary to
double-click – or click the same button twice quickly.
In this manual:
Click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the left
button.
Right-click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the
right button.
Double-click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to click the left
button twice.
Select means to position the mouse cursor over a radio button, check box, or list item
and click it.
The scroll wheel in between the two buttons is added to provide easier scrolling
capability. By moving the wheel with an index finger, the user can quickly move
through multiple pages, lines, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third
button allowing the user to quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item.

Looping Output Termination
When terminating the outputs becomes necessary, the DVR has built-in termination
that allows the user to select individual outputs to be terminated. Generally it is not
necessary to terminate the output when using it. It is dependent on if the device, to
which the user is connecting it, has internal 75 ohm termination. As a rule, if the image
appears distorted or virtually un-viewable, it most likely needs to be terminated.

Setup Overview
The Setup options allow optimization of the DVR by adjusting things like camera
names, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important to setup the DVR
correctly for several reasons:
• Recording Schedules –Increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is
saved on the DVR by optimizing the recording schedule. Optimize the type of
recording done by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the
amount of useful video.
• DVR Access – By setting up the access passwords, the user has better control of
the types of access any individual may have. This ensures the security and
integrity of the DVR.
• Camera Naming – By naming each camera, the location and any other pertinent
information can be easily identified when viewing it in the Video Display Area.
• Adjusting Camera Color – Optimize the clarity and detail that is recorded by
adjusting each camera’s color settings.

Video Loss Alarm
The DVR supports a Video Loss Alarm function which allows an Alarm Event to occur when
a camera loses its signal. The lost signal can be due to camera power failure to the
camera, the camera cable being cut or unplugged, or the camera being damaged in some
way.
In order to use Video Signal Loss detection, cameras must either be Enabled or Disabled.
This is because the DVR needs to know which cameras it should expect to receive signals
from. To enable camera(s), open Frame Setup, and set the Images Per Second to anything
above zero. By designating zero images per second the camera will not be used by the
DVR.

Frame Setup
The Frame Setup Menu gives the user the option to adjust both the resolution and the
number of images per second each camera will record. When setting up the Images
Per Second (IPS) sliders, the BLUE slider represents the frames at which the DVR will
capture the incoming video while the RED slider represents the frame rate that will be
recorded.
This option is beneficial when higher frame rates are desired remotely. The Server will
only send out frames remotely that have been first encoded. For Ex. If the Blue
‘ENCODING’ option is set to 25 IPS and the Red ‘RECORDING’ option is set to 7 IPS
then the DVR Server will record 7 IPS and users viewing live video remotely will receive
25 IPS on that specific camera. Please note that there are different frame setup
windows for Real Time and non Real Time models.

Scheduling Sensors and Relays (By Example)
It is easy to add advanced recording functionality using Sensor Inputs and Relay
Outputs.
SENSOR - Sensor Inputs can be programmed to instantly start one or more cameras
recording when an alarm occurs. These alarm events can also activate Relay Outputs
as desired.
RELAY OUTPUT - Relay Outputs can be set to activate when motion alarms or sensor
alarms occur.
The schedule example will be as follows:
1. SUN-SAT (12AM-11:59PM) Cameras 1 and 2 will be activated on Sensor #3
and/or Sensor #5, which will then activate Relay Output #7 and #13.
2. SUN-SAT (12AM-11:59PM) Camera 3 will be set to Record on MOTION.
When motion occurs it will activate Relay Output #7 and #10.
3. SUN-SAT (12AM-11:59PM) Sensor #6 will activate Relay Output #8 when an
alarm occurs. This event will NOT cause any cameras to record.
To do this, a total of 3 schedules will be created.

LDAP User and Permission Integration
Active Directory integration (also called LDAP) allows IT administrators to use existing
domain user management tools to manage accounts on Fusion DVRs. Adding and
removing users from Fusion DVRs can be accomplished through group membership
administration via a Windows domain controller. Along with this feature comes the
concept of “single sign-on”. The user credentials supplied during Windows log on are
passed seamlessly to FVMS and Fusion remote applications preventing the need to
log on a second time when connecting to a Fusion DVR.
Note LDAP User and Permission Integration requires a Microsoft Domain with
Active Directory.
Active Directory Initial Setup
1. Create an Organizational Unit called DVR.
2. Create organizational sub groups under DVR called Group_Pri and Groups.
3. Designate a user who has the ability to create groups within Active Directory.
Tip This can be either a current Domain Admin or other user with the above
privileges.

After Image Removal
The DVR is capable of recording video using one of three different resolutions. When
using the 720 x 480 NTSC / 720 x 576 PAL resolution, two boxes are mixed. Because
of the timing gap between the two boxes, according to the standardized image rules,
After Image might occur on high speed moving images. The Fusion DVR allows the
user to remove this by clicking the After Image Removal button.
Time Sync
The Sync option synchronizes a single channel of video to playback in real time.
Ordinarily the video may playback slower or faster depending on several factors,
including how many IPS recorded and number of cameras playing at the same time.
In addition, the Time Sync option will be automatically enabled when an audio channel
is selected inside Search.
1. Select a single image to synchronize by double-clicking on an image.
2. Select a channel of audio (optional).
3. Click the Time Synch button. The video will now playback in real time.
Search Options Overview
The Search Options allows the user to find the requested images quickly, enhance the
image quality, and export the video or images in a number of ways.
Index Search: Used to perform a search based on Motion detection and Sensor
activation. Allows for quickly narrowing down large amounts of
recorded video based on particular criterion.
Preview Search: Allows for narrowing down recorded video in a 24 Hour period.
Each day is broken into 24 images, one image for each hour of
the day. (The images are taken from the first second of each
hour). When an image is selected, the ‘hour’ chosen is then
broken down into 6 images, one image for every 10 minute
increment. When a 10-minute increment image is selected, 10
images are displayed, one for every minute within the 10 minute
period. From this point, the selected image can be applied to the
Main Search.
Object Search: Used to specify a region on an image and perform a search
based on any motion that has occurred within that region.
Status Search: Displays recorded video in a color-coded format that allows easy
selection of the portion of video to play.

circumstances would be recorded over. The DVR records
both hours and allows the user to select which hour to play
if necessary. To access the ‘lost hour.’
1. From the Search Display, select the Calendar button.
2. Select the last day of Daylights Saving time. The

Save Function
The DVR can export single images in the .JPG file format, save video clips in the .AVI
format, or output to a VCR using the s-video port. The .JPG and .AVI file formats are
extremely common with universal computer support making them ideal formats to use.
A digital signature is also attached to every .JPG and .AVI file exported by the DVR for
use with the bundled Digital Verifier application. This function is unique to the DVR and
its verification software and should not interfere with viewing the files using other
applications.
JPG: The format (.JPG) is optimized for compressing full-color or
grayscale photographic images. .JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million
color) graphics. .JPG is used to export a single image or frame.
AVI: .AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically
compressed using a Windows-supplied or third party compression
and decompression module called a codec. .AVI files save a video
clip.
Analog Out*: Sends a full screen video signal to the s-video port of the DVR.

Preview Search
The Preview Search can be used in a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact
moment where an event, such as a theft, occurred. The Preview Search basically gives
a 24 Hour visual overview of a single camera by separating a 24 hour period
(1 day) into 24 images, one image for each hour of the day. The search can then be
further narrowed down into ten minute increments and one minute increments by
selecting one of the images displayed.

10 Minute Increments
These example images show how the Preview Search functions. The first screen that
appears has 24 images displayed. Each image represents the first second of each
hour. If there is no image recorded during that period then nothing will be displayed.
When an hour is selected (by double clicking on the image) then a new screen
appears with 6 images. Each of these images represents a 10 minute segment of
video. Once a 10 minute segment is selected (by double-clicking on the image) the
final screen appears which breaks down that 10 minute segment into 1 minute
increments (10 images).
