Step 4: According to Formula (4) to calculate total capacity (accumulation)
that is
needed for all channels in DVR during alarm video recording (including motion detection).
×a% (4)
In the formula：a% means alarm occurrence rate You can refer to the following sheet for the file size in one hour per channel. (All the data listed below are for reference only.)
Note
All information listed in the above sheet for reference only. We are not reliable for any
damage or loss resulting from it.
For the space marked by the HDD manufacturer, 1K=1000, while for the computer
OS, 1K=1024. So, the space recognized by the computer system is less than the marked space on the HDD. Please pay attention to it.
All HDD space marked by the HDD manufacturer is shown as below: 1T=1000G,
1G=1000M, 1M=1000K, 1K=1000.
All HDD space marked by the HDD manufacturer shall become the computer OS
space after the corresponding calculation. For example: 1T（marked by the HDD manufacturer）=1000G/（1.024*1.024*1.024）=931G（OS space）， 500G=500G/（1.024*1.024*1.024）=465G

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 The input video format: BNC（0.8VP-P，75Ω）. 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 lineBTTTB
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 contactBTTTB
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint, lap welding and oxidation.BTTT

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:
To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time. Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status. 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.

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:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property. Reduce the volume of the sound box. Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and
improve acoustics environment. Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

3.8 Alarm Input and Output Connection

Please read the followings before connecting.
1. Alarm input
a. Please make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input. b. Grounding signal is needed for alarm input. c. Alarm input needs the low level voltage signal. d.Alarm input mode can be either NC (normal Open) or NO (Normal Close) e. When you are connecting two DVRs or you are connecting one DVR and one other device, please use a relay to separate them,
2. Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A) to avoid high current which may result in relay damage. Please use the co contactor to realize the connection between the alarm output port and the load.
3. How to connect PTZ decoder
a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR, otherwise you may not control the PTZ. Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding. b. Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
c. For too long signal wires, 120Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the
far end to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality. d. “485 A, B” of DVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.

3.9 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. 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.
