VISIBLE LED STATEMENT
The LEDs on this DVR unit are classified as “Class 1 LED Product” in accordance with EN 60825-1.
LASER SAFETY STATEMENT FOR A CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
This DVD-ROM Storage device fulfills the required Laser measurements and classification for Class 1 Laser
Products according to the requirements in US Food and Drug Administration, CDRH Title 21 CFR Sec. 1040.10,
2008.
The mass storage system does not product hazardous laser radiation. Because laser light emitted inside the

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 (9000 ~ 12000 rpm), the drive’s performance could be affected
by using substandard discs. These substandard discs may be damaged, or
damage the DVD-ROM drive.
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 DVDROM drive.
Do not leave DVDs in direct sunlight or hot, humid locations.
Always remove DVDs from the drive after use.

Looping Outputs
The 8/16 Channel recorders have up to 16 looping outputs. Depending on the
destination of the looping outputs, each one may have to be terminated.
The 32 Channel recorder has up to 32 looping outputs. Connect the included 16
Channel BNC Connector Cables to the 16 Channel Cable Adapter ports.
Fusion IV DVR User Guide
The video inputs/outputs are 75 Ώ BNC connectors. Make sure there is a video source
connected to the input and then connect a cable to the Channel Out on the BNC
Connector Cable. The looping outs can be connected to video monitors or combined
with adapters to connect to VCRs.
Looping Output Termination
When it is necessary to terminate a looping output, the recorder has built in termination
that allows users to select individual outputs. It is not always necessary to terminate the
output; it depends on the device to which you are connecting. As a rule, if the image
appears distorted or virtually unviewable, it likely needs to be terminated.

Connecting a PTZ Camera
Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The recorder comes preassembled with an internal
PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 4,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the recorder. The recorder
outputs an RS-232 signal and converts in to an RS-422/485 signal which is then sent to
the PTZ camera.
Attaching the 4-Pin Adapter
1. Locate the PTZ adapter cable
2. Connect the wires of the PTZ adapter to the
PTZ camera. The yellow wire should
connect to the RX+ on the camera and the
orange wire should connect to the RX-.
3. Connect the other end of the adapter to the
XVR unit as shown.
4. Assign the PTZ camera an ID number in
PTZ Setup that coincides with the number
assigned to the camera. This is normally
done utilizing a dip-switch configuration
method on the addressable dome.
Example: If the camera is plugged into
input number 5, set the PTZ unit to ID number 5.

Devices, etc.) connected to the recorder.
2. Turn on the Secondary Power Switch located in the rear of the recorder.
3. Turn on the main power switch located on the front of the recorder.
The recorder will run a series of self-tests. After two or three minutes a series of
messages may be displayed as the various hardware and software subsystems are
activated. Under normal circumstances you should not be asked to respond to these
messages. If you are asked to respond to the messages (adding a Printer, Monitor, etc
for the first time) follow the instructions carefully.
After this finishes, the Fusion recorder software should load automatically and bring you
to the main screen.
Turning Off the Recorder
Fusion IV DVR User Guide

The recorder will safely shutdown, it may take several minutes to shut down completely.
Caution Always be sure to follow the proper procedures when turning off the power
to the recorder. NEVER disconnect the power to the recorder while it is still
running or in the process of shutting down. Doing so can cause data loss,
file corruption, system instability and hardware failure

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
Fusion IV DVR User Guide
The Frame Setup menu allows configuration of the IPS, resolution, quality, and
sensitivity of camera channels. When configuring the IPS sliders the BLUE slider
represents the IPS the DVR will record during intensive recording and have available for
transmitting to remotely connected systems. The RED slider represents the IPS that will
be recorded by the DVR under normal recording conditions.
The total IPS of all blue sliders may not exceed the recording IPS of the DVR. The IPS of
a red slider may not exceed that of the blue slider for the same channel. The dual sliders
allow configuration of the DVR to record at a lower IPS while still being able to transmit
at a higher IPS to remote connections.
Ex. If a camera channel is set to 25 IPS (blue) and 7 IPS (red), the DVR will record at 7
IPS and users viewing live video remotely can receive up to 25 IPS.
Note The RED IPS record slider cannot exceed the BLUE IPS capture slider.
Note The Software will not allow the maximum available Frames to be exceeded.
Frame Select
Blue Slider: Sets the IPS recorded during intensive recording and available for viewing
on a remote client PC.
Red Slider: Sets the IPS recorded by the DVR during normal recording.
Resolution: Affects the total number of frames per second that are available.
Codec: Select the appropriate codec for each camera (MJPEG, MPEG-4, H.264)
Video Quality: Lower quality video has a smaller file size but appears more pixilated.
Sensitivity: Sets the Keyframe refresh rate. Adjusting this setting can have negative
effects on video quality.
Note Do not change the default setting unless instructed by a system administrator.

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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Setting up DDNS
Enable DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a service that provides a static address to
simplify remote connection to the recorder. This service is most useful for installations
where the WAN (public) IP address is dynamic (changes from time to time). Most public
IP addresses are dynamic unless a static address has been specifically ordered from
the internet service provider.
To enable this functionality of the recorder, follow the steps below:
1. Click Setup on the Live View screen and log in as Administrator if prompted.
2. Click The Administration tab.
3. Click Program Management (ETC) and enter the Administrator password when
prompted.
4. Click Show (to the right of The agent program for DDNS).
5. Select the Enable DDNS check box.
6. Enter the ID, Password, and Hostname specified on the DDNS document shipped
with your DVR.
Set the IP Address
Note Ensure the DVR has an IP address by setting it statically. The Network settings
may need to be changed. If you are not sure of the correct values, contact the
individual or department responsible for network administration at the site.
To set the IP address of the recorder, follow the steps below:
7. On the Live View screen, click Exit and choose Restart in Windows Mode.
8. On the desktop, right-click Network and click Properties.
9. In the Network and Sharing Center, click Local Area Connection.
10. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties.
11. Select Use the following IP address.
12. Enter the following values (or as specified by the department responsible for
network administration).
a. IP Address: The first three sets of numbers should match the router’s local IP
address and the last set should be a unique number between 1-254.
b. Subnet Mask: This should match the router’s setting (commonly 255.255.255.0
for 192.X addresses and 255.0.0.0 for 10.X addresses).
c. Default Gateway: This is the router’s internal IP address. Once DDNS is
configured, the router the DVR connects to will need to be configured to forward
ports 80 and 4000 to the IP address of the DVR.
For further instruction on this process, visit
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
Select the correct model of router, and follow the instructions. Once DDNS and port
forwarding have been configured, the recorder will be accessible from any remote site
by entering the HOSTNAME into the address bar of Internet Explorer or the IP Address
field in the Remote Software.

The recorder can export single images in a JPG Image file format and save video clips
in an AVI format. Both JPG and AVI file formats are the most commonly used graphical
formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of support for these file
formats which make them the most ideal formats to use.
JPG
Optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images, JPG images
are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics. Use JPG to export a single image or frame.
AVI
AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a

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 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.
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), a new screen appears with
6 images. Each of these images represents a 10 minute segment of video within the
selected hour.
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).

outputs an RS-232 signal and converts it to an RS-485 signal which is then sent to the
PTZ camera.
Refer to the Connections section of this manual for information on connecting the PTZ
camera to the recorder.
