Installation and Connections

3 Installation and Connections

Note
All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electrical safety rules

Check Unpacked DVR

When you receive the DVR from the forwarding agent, please check whether there is any visible damage. The protective materials used for the package of the DVR can protect during most transportation caused accidentsal. Then proceed to 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.

About Front Panel and Rear Panel

For detailed information of the function keys in the front panel and the ports in the rear panel, please refer to the User’s Manual included in the resource CD.
The model in the front panel is very important; please check according to your purchase order.
The label in the rear panel is very important too. Usually we need you to present the serial number when we provide service after sales.

HDD Installation

This series DVR has only one SATA HDD. Please use HDD of 7200rpm or higher.
You can refer to the user guide for a recommended HDD brand.
16
Honeywell
Please follow the instructions below to install the hard disk.
1. Loosen the screws of the upper cover.
3. Rotate four screws three times to secure HDD bracket..
5. Turn the device upside down and then turn the screw in firmly.
2. Remove upper cover
4. Place the HDD in accordance with the four holes in the chassis.
6. Fix the HDD firmly.
7. Connect the HDD cable and power cable.
8. Connect the HDD cable and power cable.
17
Installation and Connections
After completing HDD installation, please check the connection of the data ribbon and power cord.

Connecting Power Supply

Please check whether the input voltage and device power button match.
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 video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0V
The video signal should comply with your national standards.
P- P ,
75).
The input video signal should have high SNR, low distortion, low interference, natural color and suitable lightness.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal:
The camera should be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable, explosive substances, etc.
The camera and the DVR should have the same grounding to ensure normal operation of the camera.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the transmission line
Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according to the transmission distance.
If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video compensation devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.
You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially the high tension current.
Keep connection lugs in well contact
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint, lap welding and oxidation.
18

Connecting Video Output

Video output includes BNC (CVBS PAL/NTSC, 1.0VP-P, 75), VGA and
.
HDMI
The system supports the three kinds of outputs at the same time.
When you are using PC monitor to replace standard CCTV monitor, please pay attention to the following points:
To extend the product’s life, do not run the pc monitor for a long time.
Regular demagnetization will keep device maintaining proper status.
Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce the working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low quality TV may result in device damage.

Connecting Audio Input & Output

Honeywell

Audio Input

Audio Output

The four audio input channels are bound to video input channel 1-4.
Use the BNC connector to connect the audio channel.
Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up.
Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, and it shall be away from high tension current
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1K (BNC). It can directly connect to low impedance earphones, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device.
If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to cause a squeaking noise. In this case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
19
Installation and Connections
Reduce the volume of the sound box.
Use more sound-absorbing materials in decoration to reduce voice echo and improve acoustics environment.
Adjust the layout to reduce the occurrence of the squeaking.

Alarm Input and Output Connection

Please refer to the following sheet for alarm input and output connection.
There are two alarm input types for you to select: normal open (NO) and normal close (NC).
1. Alarm input
a Please make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
b Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
c When you are connecting two DVRs or connecting one DVR and
one other device, please use a relay to separate them
2. Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to a high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A) to avoid high current which may result in relay damage. Please use the co contactor to realize the connection between the alarm output port and the load.
3. Please make sure the front-end devices have been well earthed.
Improper grounding may result in chip damage.

Alarm Input and Output Details

You can refer to the following sheet and Figure 3-1 for alarm input and output information.

RS485

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 cannot return any data to the unit. To enable the operation, connect the PTZ device to the RS485 (A,B) input on the DVR. See Figure 3-3.
