HDD Installation HDD Installation
3.2.1 Choose HDDs
We recommend Seagate/IBM/Hitachi HDD of 7200rpm or higher.
3.2.2 Calculate HDD Size
You can use 120G-1500G HDD to guarantee higher recording durations.
The formula of total HDD size is:
Total Capacity (MB) = Camera Amount * Recording Hours * HDD Usage Per Hour
(M/h)
H.264 compression is ideal for standalone DVRs. It can save more than 30% HDD
capacity over MPEG4 part 1. 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. If you want the DVR to record video 12 hours each day for 30
days, the total space needed on your HDDs is: 4 channels * 30 days * 12 hours *
200 M/h = 288G which requires one 320G HDD or 2 160G HDDs.
3.2.3 HDD Installation
Data ribbons and fastening screws are provided in the accessory box.
Please follow the instructions below to install hard disk.
1. Loosen the screws of the upper cover. 2. Remove the HDD bracket from internal unit.

3. Dismantle the upper HDD bracket. 4. Install the HDD. Note the HDD is placed
upside down. Make sure bracket is in
correct position.
If the HDD amount is less than four, you do not need to install the HDD bracket.
5.
Screw the two bracket parts together. 6. Put HDD bracket back and then fix firmly.

This section provides information about physically connecting video display devices
to the DVR. See Error! Reference source not found..
If you connect the DVR with a TV monitor or VGA monitor, the DVR can automatically
detect the monitor type. Without any output device, by default, the DVR is configured
to use a TV monitor. If your application requires a VGA monitor, you need to hold
“FN2” or Shift on the front panel for about 5 seconds, in order to change display
modes.
NOTE:
Video output 1 and VGA can’t display at the same time. But Video output 2 can
display properly with Video Output 1 or VGA.

This series DVR has 4-ch audio input, 2-ch audio output.
The DVR encodes audio and video signals simultaneously, which lets you control
audio at the monitored location.
To set up audio:
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 follows:
3. Connect a line input device or pre-amplified microphone to the audio connector for
the video channel on the rear panel.

3.6.2 Alarm Input and Relay Output
The DVR offers 4 alarm inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts
or motion detectors. Each alarm input can normally open or normally close. Once
configured, an alarm input can invoke many different activities, including triggering a
relay device, sending an alert to a security office or store pre-alarm video to the DVR.
3.6.3 Alarm Input
For this series DVR, a grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
If you need to connect two units or one DVR and other device, use a relay to
separate them.
Please refer to Figure 3-4 for more information.
Figure 3-4
3.6.4 Alarm Output
Do not connect alarm output ports directly with high power loads (no more than 1 A).
You can use the co-contactor to realize the connection between the alarm output port
and the load. Please refer to Figure 3-5 for more information.

When the DVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up
the UTP cable to the PTZ device. RS485 is a single-direction 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 DVR 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. A is RS-485 Positive & B is RS-485
negative
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.
