Note: All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electric
safety rules.
3.1 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
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.
Note
Remote control is not a standard accessory and it is not included in the accessory bag.
3.2 About Front Panel and Real Panel
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 represent the
serial number when we provide the service after sales.
3.3 HDD Installation
This series DVR has 1 to 8 HDDs (no limitation for capacity). Please use HDD of 7200rpm
or higher. Usually we do not recommend the HDD for the PC.
You can refer to the Appendix for recommended HDD brand.
Please follow the instructions listed below to install hard disk.
1. Loosen the screws of the
u
er cover.
2. Loosen HDD upper bracket
3. You can see the HDD lower support after
loosenin

4. Place the HDD in accordance
to the four holes on the lower
bracket
5. Fix the HDD firmly with screws.
6. Install the upper support and fix it
firmly. Fix the HDD to the HDD upper
su
ort in the same way.
7.Loosen the HDD power wire
inside the DVR.
8. Insert the power wire
9. Connect HDD to SATA port with
specified data line, then put the
cover on the box and fix it firmly.
Note:
z You can connect the HDD data cable and the power cable first and then fix the HDD
in the device.
z 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 Rack Installation
The DVR occupies 2U rack units of vertical rack space.
z Use twelve screws to fix the unit
z Please make sure the indoor temperature is below 35℃ (95°f).
z Please make sure there is 15cm (6 inches) space around the device to guarantee
sound ventilation.
z Please install from the bottom to the top.
z If there are more accessories connected in the rack, please take precaution
measures in case the rack power is overload.
3.5 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.
3.6 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
3.6.1 Connecting Video Input
The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC
（1.0VB
P- P ，
B75Ω.）.
17
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 DVR should have the same grounding to ensure the normal
operation of the camera.
Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line
BTTTB
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
BTTTB
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry
joint, lap welding and oxidation.

Figure 3-1
3.6.2 Connecting Video Output
Video output includes a TBNC(PAL/NTSC, 1.0VP- P， 75Ω）output, a VGA output and a
HDMI output.
System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the
following points:
z To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
z Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
z 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.

3.7 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio
3.7.1 Audio Input
BNC port is adopted for audio input 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.
Figure 3-3
3.7.2 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:
z Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
19
z Reduce the volume of the sound box.
z Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and
improve acoustics environment.
z Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.
