please refer to the appendix for detailed information.

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 only one SATA HDD. Please use HDD of 7200rpm or higher. 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

er cover and side panel.

2. Fix four screws in the HDD

(

Turn just three rounds).

3. Place the HDD in accordance with the four holes in the bottom.

4. Turn the device upside down

and then turn the screws in

firml

5. Fix the HDD firmly.

6. Connect the HDD cable and

power cable.

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 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.

3.5 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

P- P ，

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 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.

BTTTB

7. Put the cover in accordance

with the clip and then place the

upper cover back.

8. Secure the screws in the

rear panel and the side panel.

3.5.2 Connecting Video Output

Video output includes a BNC(PAL/NTSC1.0V

P-P

，75Ω）output ,a VGA output and 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.

3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio

3.6.1 Audio Input

These series products adopt RCA 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:

z Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.

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.

3.7 RS485

When the DVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up the coaxial 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. See

Figure 3-1.

Since RS485 is disabled by default for each camera, you must enable the PTZ settings first. This

series DVRs 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.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the camera.

3. Please follow the instructions to configure a camera to enable each PTZ device on the DVR.

Figure 3-1

3.8 Other Interfaces

There are still other interfaces on the DVR, such as USB ports.

4 Overview of Navigation and Controls

Important

z 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:

z You have properly installed HDD and connect all the cable connections.

z The provided input power and the device power are matched.

z The external power shall be DC +12V.

z Always use the stable current, if necessary UPS is a best alternative measure.

included in one HDD Group.

z Each channel is only corresponding with one HDD Group, while one HDD Group can

store records from several channels.

z HDD Group is only available for read-write HDD and self-defined disks, other types of

hard disks cannot be set as HDD Group.

Important:

z e-SATA also supports this function, you can manage e-SATA hard disk as local hard disk.

z Current series software version can only set the HDD group operation of the read-write

HDDs. It is not for the redundancy HDD.

HDD Setting

Click the button “HDD Settings” at the top right corner of the Figure 5-29, system will pop up an

interface as below. See Figure 5-31.

The number of hard disk from 1 to 12 is shown in the “HDD No.” column. If there is a mark

in the front of the number, it means this interface have access to the hard disk, otherwise it does

not have access to the hard disk.

The “HDD Group” column lists the HDD Group number of current hard disk.

When you are setting the HDD Group, please check the box of the hard disk, and then choose

the corresponding HDD Group number and save the settings.

In Figure 5-31, you can see the system has two working hard disks at the 6th and 7th position,

and the 6th position hard disk belongs to HDD Group 1, the 7th position hard disk belongs to

HDD Group 2.

Figure 5-31

In Figure 5-32, you can see the 6th and 7th position hard disks both belong to HDD Group 2.

Important

Once you change the HDD Group settings, system will pack the records and snapshots, and

then reboot.

Figure 5-32

Channels Setting

Click the button named with “Channels Settings” at the top right corner of the Figure 5-29,

to save current setup.

The Figure 5-33 and Figure 5-34 show that channels 1 to 6 are associated to HDD Group NO 1,

and channels 7 to 16 are associated to HDD Group NO 2. Therefore the records of channels 1 to

6 are stored into the hard disk(s) which belong to HDD Group NO 1, and the records of channels

7 to 16 are stored into the hard disk(s) which belong to HDD Group NO 2.

Important

Once you change the HDD Group settings, system will pack the records and snapshots, and

then reboot.
