4 Installation and Connections
This chapter describes the installation and connection of HLVR4.
Honeywell
Note
All the installation and operations here should conform to
your local electricity safety rules.
Check Unpacked DVR
When you receive the DVR from the shipping agency, please check
whether there is any visible damage to the DVR appearance. The
protective materials used for the package of the DVR can protect most
accidental clashes during transportation. Then you can open the box to
check the accessories.
Please check the items in accordance with the list on the warranty card.
Finally you can remove the protective film of the DVR.
HDD Installation
Calculate HDD Size
This series have no limit to HDD capacity. You can use 120G-750G HDD
to guarantee higher stability.
The formula of total HDD size is:
Total Capacity (MB) = Camera Amount * Recording Hours * HDD Usage
Per Hour (M/h)
When you calculate the total HD capacity, you should estimate the
average HDD capacity per hour for each channel.
For example, for a 4-ch DVR, the average capacity of HDD usage per
hour per channel is 200M/h. Now if you hope the DVR can record the
video 12 hours each day for 30 days, the total capacity of HDDs needed
13
Installation and Connections
is: 4 channels * 30 days * 12 hours * 200 M/h = 288G. So you need to
install one 300G HDD or 2 160G HDDs.
HDD Installation
Data ribbons, fastening screws and smart HDD shelf design are already
provided in the accessories.
Please pay attention to HDD jumper:
If you just need to install one HDD, you can set the HDD to
Note
Please follow the instructions below to install HDD.
MASTER.
If you install two HDDs to one IDE port, you need to set the
farther one as MASTER and the other as SLAVE. Please
don’t set HDD as CS Enable or Cap Limit.
1. Loosen the screws.
4. Install the first HDD. Note the
HDD is placed upside down.
Please make sure bracket is in

Connecting Power Supply
Please check input voltage and device power button match or not.
We recommend you use UPS to guarantee steady operation, DVR life
span, and other peripheral equipments operation such as cameras.

Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
Connecting Video Input
The DVR automatically detects the video standard (PAL or NTSC)
whenever you connect a video input. It accepts color, black-and-white and
analog video.

Honeywell
• Enabling line lock on cameras may cause video
distortion. There may be noise in the camera’s power
source. If video from one or more cameras is distorted,
Note
To connect each video input:
1. Connect a coaxial cable to the camera or other analog video source.
2. Connect the coaxial cable to the video in connector on the rear panel.
Please refer to
we recommend you disable line lock on the camera as
your first troubleshooting step.
• If a video distribution amplifier is installed between the
video source and the DVR, do not set the output video
level above 1 Vp-p.
Figure 4-1 for more information.
Note
You need to use a BNC installation tool to connect coaxial
cables to the rear panel.
Connecting Video Output
This section provides information about physically connecting video
display devices to the DVR.
If you connect the DVR with a TV monitor or VGA monitor, the DVR can
automatically detects the monitor type. And without any output device, by
default, the DVR is configured to use a TV monitor. In this case, if your
application requires a VGA monitor, you have to press the button “Fn” or
Shift on the front panel to switch.
Video output 1 and VGA can’t display at the same time. But
Note
Video output 2 can display properly with Video Output 1 or
VGA.
Connecting Audio Input and Audio Output
HLVR4 has 2-ch audio input, 1-ch audio output, 4-ch alarm input and 3-ch
alarm output.
Audio Input/Audio Output
The DVR encodes audio and video signals simultaneously, which lets you
control audio at the monitored location.
To set up audio:
17
Installation and Connections
1. Make sure your audio input device matches the RCA input level. If the
device and RCA input levels do not match, audio distortion problems may
occur.
2. Make sure the audio connector is wired as in
3. Connect a line input device or pre-amplified microphone to the audio
connector for the video channel on the rear panel.
Alarm Input and Relay Output
The DVR offers 4-ch alarm input for external signaling devices, such as
door contacts or motion detectors. Each alarm input can be either
normally open or normally closed. Once configured, an alarm input can
invoke many different activities, including triggering a relay device,
sending an alert to a security office or storing pre-alarm video to the DVR.
Connecting Alarm Input and Alarm Output
Alarm Input
You should check your alarm input mode is grounding alarm input or not.
For this series DVR, grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
If you need to connect two units or one DVR and other device, please use
relay to separate them.
Figure 4-1.

Alarm Output
Do not connect alarm output port directly with high power load (no more
than 1 A) in case of heavy current.
You can use the co-contactor to realize the connection between the alarm
output port and the load.

• If you need to reset the touched-off alarm remotely, you can use
DVR to supply controllable 12 V power to the alarm detector such as
the smoke detector.

Honeywell
You can connect the DVR with POS or Keyboard through RS232.
With POS system, the DVR can communicate through RS232 and
network. For the POS system, the DVR can integrate the text content and
even search the record through the info.
When the DVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that
command up the coaxial cable to the PTZ device. RS485 is a singledirection protocol; the PTZ device can’t return any data to the unit. To
enable the operation, connect the PTZ device to the RS485(A, B) input on
the DVR. Since RS485 is disabled by default for each camera, you must
enable the PTZ settings first. This series DVRs support multiple protocols
such as Pelco-D, Pelco-P.
To connect PTZ devices to the DVR:
1. Connect RS485 A,B on the DVR rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector
on the camera.
3. Follow the instructions for configuring a camera to enable each PTZ
device on the DVR.
Other Interfaces
There are still other interfaces on the DVR, such as USB ports.
