1) Installation procedure
• Open the DVR case. Mount the 4 shock absorption washers into the clamping slots (four protruding
steps) in the case.
• Connect the HDD data cable and HDD power cable to the HDD.
• Attach the hard disk to the shock absorption washers by aligning the installation holes to the case.
Hold and fix them by 4 x M3*12 head screws plus plain washers.
• Connect the HDD data cable and HDD power cable to the respond interfaces of the main board.
• Replace the DVR top cover, then screw it closed.
NOTE: If installing your own HDD, please be sure to purchase a DVR rated HDD instead of a computer rated
HDD. Computer rated HDDs are not designed for continuous DVR use.
NOTE: Please format the HDD for the first use, or the system will return a “Hard Disk Error” notification
accompanied by an audio alarm. Please see 4.9 Maintenance for details.

Turn on the unit. The power LED will light up if the power cable is connected correctly.
NOTE: Please use the power adapter contained in the package.
• Video Input
The video input interface is standard BNC socket, 1Vp-p, 75Ω.
NOTE: The video signal cable should be kept away from the interference of strong electromagnetism and the
city electric power grid.
4
• Audio Input
The audio input interface standard RAC socket, 2Vp-p, 600Ω.
NOTE: The audio input resistance is a little high, please use an active sound collection device or active
microphone. The audio signal cable should be kept away from the interference of strong electromagnetism
and the city electric power grid.
• Network Input
The network input interface is RJ45 10/100M self-adaptive.
NOTE: Confirm that the network band width is enough for transmitting high definite images smoothly.
• Alarm Input and Output
The alarm input device should be the type of GND connected alarm or voltage input alarm, which can be set
as N/O, or N/C.
The requirement of signal input level for voltage alarm type is: low level 0~2V, high level 5~15V.
The green angle pins of the signal cable are designed for access of PTZ and alarming devices. Please
follow these steps to connect.
1. Pull out the angle pins that are inserted in the alarm input and output interfaces.
2. Unscrew the screws with a micro Philips screwdriver, insert the signal cable into the interface under
the spring, then tighten the screws.
3. Plug the connected pins into the green angle pin socket.
• PTZ Input (Pan-Tilt-Zoom)
Connect the PTZ control interface to the RS485 interfaces of the rear panel. The connection method is
similar to the method above.
NOTE: Please refer to the PTZ manual for setting specific parameters, for some PTZ devices contain
multiple telecommunication protocols, baud rates and IDs.
Video Output: VGA/Monitor Input
Video output interface: TV and VGA, which can work together simultaneously.
NOTE: VGA and TV cannot be in the operation interface simultaneously, but can be switched by mouse,
