INSTALLATION AND
CHAPTER 2
CONNECTION
Please note that it is important to keep in mind common safety guidelines when installing your
DVR or connecting additional devices – including turning off and unplugging your DVR before
installing internal components.
2.1 DVR INSTALLATION
This DVR can be mounted on the included stand or it can be wall-mounted using a pair of
screws (not included).
Holes for Wall Mount
PICTURE 2-1
2.2 CONNECTIONS
As part of its compact design, the connection ports on this DVR are concentrated on a panel
on the back of the device located above the stand. These ports allow you to connect the
mouse, cameras and network cable along with additional input and output components such
as alarms, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, additional monitors and so on.

The connection, configuration and operation of PTZ cameras will be covered in Chapter
6 PTZ Cameras while the connection and configuration of alarms – both incoming and
outgoing – will be covered in Chapter 7.
Side Panel
In addition to the ports located on the underside of
the DVR, there are twin USB ports located on the
right side of the monitor frame. Either one can be
used for the included USB mouse.
In addition, either port can be used to upload
firmware updates or to back up files by inserting a
USB flash drive into the port. Please see Version
in Section 5.2 and Backup in Section 5.5,
respectively for instructions on performing these
operations.
Power
The DVR’s power supply plugs into the socket (Item number 3 in Picture 2-2) located
on the underside of the unit. It is absolutely essential that you only use the power supply that
came with the DVR to ensure proper operation and to avoid damage.
We also recommend that you use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) so that the system will
continue to operate in the event of a power loss. In addition, you should connect the DVR into
a UL-1449 rated surge protector. It should have a joule rating of at least 400, a response time
of 10 nanoseconds or less and a clamping voltage of no more than 330 volts.
To turn on the DVR, you will need to use the Power button located below the USB ports on
the right side of the DVR. When the DVR is off, pushing on the button will cause the DVR to
initialize and power up.
When the DVR is operating, briefly pressing the Power button will cause the screen to go
to sleep until the button is pressed again. The DVR will still operate normally - including
recording. If you hold the button longer, a Shut Down progress bar will display. Releasing the
button before the bar completes will put the monitor to sleep as above. If you allow the bar to
progress all the way, the DVR will ask you to enter your password to confirm and then will shut
down. Afterwards, the DVR can be restarted in the normal fashion.

Cameras
Conventional CCD or CMOS cameras are
connected to the DVR through the Audio/
Video/Network port (Item number 4 in
Picture 2-2) via the dongle included with
the system. The dongle shown in Picture
2-4 has eight Video In plugs (yellow) for
cameras and four audio input plugs (black).
The extra yellow and black plugs are Video
Out and Audio Out respectively.
The dongle also includes an female port
for an RJ45 connection. Also known as
an Ethernet cable, this is used to connect
your DVR to the Internet through a router or
modem.

Audio Input and Output
Audio input and output is also handled through the BNC dongle. Each channel, including the
output channel, is labeled on the lead itself. To receive audio signals, you must have a camera
with built-in microphone or a separate microphone located near the camera.
Normal output through the BNC audio out channel is usually over 200mv 1KΩ. It can directly
connect to an active sound box or amplified speaker.
The cameras and the dongle use BNC connectors.
Each lead is identified with its channel number.
The cameras will also need to be connected to a power supply – whether the power supply
included with the cameras or a power distribution panel. For best results, both the DVR and
the camera power supply(ies) should share the same electrical grounding.
For cable runs longer than 200 feet, cable runs within walls, or in areas where there is
electromagnetic interference, you should use high-quality shielded RG59 cable. RG6 cable
should be used for runs exceeding 800 feet and fiber optic cable should be used when
distances exceed 1,800 feet. In circumstances requiring cameras to be positioned over 200
feet from the DVR, the camera’s power supply should be located closer to the camera.
Video Output
This DVR supports video output to a TV or a monitor using the Video Out connector on the
dongle. The BNC Video Out lead on the dongle is labeled as such. For output through the
dongle, you will need to use a BNC to RCA adapter to connect to a TV with RCA inputs and a
signal converter box to connect to a VGA monitor or a television with VGA inputs.

CONTROLS
This DVR can be controlled through the USB mouse or with the remote control. We have
found that the majority of our customers prefer to operate their DVRs using the USB mouse
because of its ease of use and flexibility and our manual is set up with this in mind. For your
convenience, we also include a remote control which allows you to perform most of the
day-to-day functions from a distance. It functions as a typical remote control with additional
buttons allowing you to navigate through menus and control functions. We recommend that
you configure your DVR using the mouse controls, reserving the remote control for operations
such as live viewing, file search and playback. For the purposes of this manual, instructions
will be given for using the mouse but the other modes are also presented in this chapter.
CHAPTER 3
VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
The virtual keyboard is contextual. For example, it will only show digits when the field is for
numeral entries. In fields where letters and symbols can be entered, users can switch between
various formats – numbers, upper case, lower case and symbols – by selecting the white
keyboard symbol that will appear to the right of a field where text can be entered. The symbol
itself will change to show which keyboard format is available next.

3.3 FRONT AND SIDE PANELS
The front panel of the DVR has minimal features to aid in discretion. The most important item
is the Infrared sensor window. This should be kept unobstructed if the remote control is to be
used.
The two indicator lights show whether the DVR is currently recording and if it is powered up
and operating even if the screen is dark.
The side-mounted USB ports and Power Switch are covered in Section 2.2 but are shown
here for ease of reference.
BASIC OPERATION
This chapter is intended to get your system operational in a baseline format now that you’ve
connected your system and turned it on. It combines information and instructions on several
submenus and settings but may not mention all of the functions or options available in a given
menu. For many users, these basic operating instructions may be all they need to operate
their security system. But, because this system offers many more features, later chapters will
cover those additional operations in greater detail.

to a computer; point, click, right-click, and etcetera. In fields where data needs to be entered,
clicking on the field will bring up a virtual keyboard. (See Section 3.1 Mouse Control)
4.2 LIVE VIEW
Live View is the default mode for the DVR. It will display the video feeds from up to 8 cameras
and you do not need to be logged into the DVR to view or change the channel(s) on the
screen. The actual number of channels displayed depends on the number of cameras you
own as well as how many channels your model supports. Channels without a camera will
remain dark with a red “?” icon indicating video loss. You can view a single channel in fullscreen mode or four, eight, nine or 16 channels simultaneously depending on the number of
channels your DVR supports.
