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.

5.5.8 Video Matrix (For Special Series only)

Some series DVR have the matrix and loop outputs.

5.5.8.1 Loop outputs These are just the same as video distributors. There are 4/8/16-ch video loop outputs from our DVR. The DVR video output can connect with other devices such as TV walls, analog matrices and so on.

5.5.8.2 Matrix outputs They are similar to a small-scale matrix. You can select any camera from our DVR to sequentially tour. The matrix outputs can be used to build TV walls and tour and display the cameras one by one.

5.5.8.3 Rear Panel Connection The rear panel is shown as below. See Figure 5-36.

5.5.8.4 37-pin cable introduction There are three colors of connectors on the cable. See Figure 5-37.

5.5.8.6 Video Matrix Interface and Application The video matrix menu is shown in

Figure 5-40. The pure video matrix model supports 4 channels of matrix outputs. The hybrid

audio/video model supports 1 channel matrix output, as well as 4 audio inputs. All the operations described below are based on a 16-channel audio/video basic model series DVR.

5.5.8.6.1 Scheduled Video Output (Scheduled Tour)

Enable the corresponding video output item, input a tour interval, and then set the tour output channel. The system supports a maximum of 16 channels. Now the system will implement the tour output as you just specified.

5.5.8.6.2 Alarm Activation Matrix

Navigate to the alarm setup menu to trigger the activation of the matrix tour ((Main Menu->Setting->Alarm)).

You can follow the steps listed below to trigger matrix outputs.

 Select local alarm  Select a channel from the record channel row  Select a matrix output from the video matrix row.

After selecting the activation channel in the record channel row, you can enable the video matrix function and then select video output channel. Once the alarm occurs, the system continues scheduled matrix tour after alarm tour completes. If there is no scheduled tour available, the matrix will stop at the last activation channel after the alarm ends.

When there are several alarm inputs at the same time, the situation maybe a little bit complex. Here is an example. The system setup is shown as below:

 Alarm input 1 can activate channel1/2/3/4/5/6  Alarm input 2 can activate channel 2/3/4/5/6/7/8  Alarm input 1 and alarm input 2 activate video output 1.

So, when there is alarm from channel 1, video output 1 becomes valid. If there is no alarm from alarm input 2 during the same period, then video output 1 can tour between channel1/2/3/4/5/6. When video output 1 goes to channel 3 and there is alarm form channel2, then video output 1 tour between 4/5/6/7/8/2. The general principles are:  When the alarm activate, each valid channel alarm input can activate a complete

tour between activation channels.  When there are several alarm inputs in the same video matrix output, the system

video matrix can activate all the channels in the setup.  If the system has toured some activation channels, then corresponding alarm

activation channels are ignored.

5.5.8.6.3 Motion Detection (including video loss and camera masking)

The Motion detection principle is the same as alarm. You can set this from the motion detection menu (Main menu->Setting->Detect). See Figure 5-42. In the detect menu, you can set the activation channel. You can also enable video matrix function, and then set video matrix output channel as well. Once the activation occurs, the system continues the scheduled matrix tour after the motion detection tour completes. If there is no scheduled tour available, the matrix will stop at the last activation channel after the alarm ends.

5.5.8.6.4 Touring Order of Operations

When the system is in a scheduled tour status and an alarm triggers, the system will first check if the video matrix function has been enabled or not, and also if there is an

Figure 5-42

effective matrix or not. The system will continue executing the scheduled tour assuming the following two conditions:

 The video output function has not been enabled.  There is no video matrix setup available.

If there is valid video matrix setup, the system can activate the corresponding tour amongst the alarm channels, and then also begin the scheduled tour after the alarm tour completes. If there is no schedule tour available, the matrix will stop at the last activation channel after the alarm ends.

Motion detection activation is almost the same as the alarm, but it has different priorities. The system will continue executing the scheduled tour assuming the following two conditions:

 Video output function has not been enabled.  There is no video matrix setup available.

If there is a valid video matrix setup, the system will check whether there is a tour of higher priority and then execute the corresponding process. During the motion detection tour, the system will process alarm triggers first if an alarm occurs. It is the same as if an alarm occurs in a scheduled tour period.
