You can connect the HDD data cable and the power cable first and then fix the HDD in the
device.
Please pay attention to the front cover. It adopts the vertical sliding design. You need to
push the clip first and then put down.
3.4 Connecting Power Supply
Please check input voltage and device power button match or not. We recommend you use UPS to guarantee steady operation, NVS life span, and other peripheral equipments operation such as cameras.
3.5 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
Please note the following figure is based on the general series product.
3.5.1 Connecting Video Input
The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VB
B75Ω.
The video signal should comply with your national standards. The input video signal shall have high SNR, low distortion; low interference, natural color and suitable lightness.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal:
The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable, explosive substances and etc. The camera and the NVS should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of the camera.
Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission lineBTTTB
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 contactBTTTB
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint, lap welding and oxidation.BTTTB

3.5.2 Connecting Video Output
Video output includes a TBNC(PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP- P, 75Ω)output ,and a VGA output. When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following points:
To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.  Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain 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.
3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio
3.6.1 Audio Input
These series products adopt BNC port. 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, loose contact and it shall be away from high tension current.
3.6.2 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC). It can directly connect to low impedance earphone, 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 arouse squeaking. In this case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.  Reduce the volume of the sound box.  Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve
acoustics environment.
Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

4 Overview of Navigation and Controls
Important
Slight difference may be found in the interface. All the interfaces listed below are based on
the 4-channel series product.
Before operation, please make sure:
You have properly installed HDD and connect all the cable connections.  The provided input power and the device power are matched.  The external power shall be DC +12V.  Always use the stable current, if necessary UPS is a best alternative measure.

The higher four-bit of the first byte=”1110”
Reserved local multiple cast group address
-224.0.0.0-224.0.0.255
-TTL=1 When sending out telegraph
-For example
224.0.0.1 All systems in the sub-net
224.0.0.2 All routers in the sub-net
224.0.0.4 DVMRP router
224.0.0.5 OSPF router
