UUSSEERR GGUUIIDDEELLIINNE

1. Turning the DVR ON

• The contents in the “Precautions and Safety Instructions” at the beginning of this manual must

be understood and always complied with. Read this section carefully.

• Before turning the DVR ON, check the system connections. All input and output peripherals and

devices must be properly and securely connected.

• Ensure that the DVR’s video format (NTSC/PAL) and the monitor(s) video format (NTSC/PAL)

meet the technical requirements of each and are properly installed.

• Turn on all exterior equipment after checking their connectivity and settings that are not

controlled by the DVR.

• If required, insert and connect the removable hard disk to the DVR and lock it up (turn the hard

disk lock to the right-clockwise).

• Plug the power cord into an AC90-240 outlet and press the power switch ON in the front panel.

2. Turning the DVR OFF

• Normally turn OFF the DVR when the system shuts down according to schedule or is idle (not

recording or playing). Do not turn off the DVR while playing, during playback or at any stage

of System Setup taking place. Do not turn off the DVR while recording

• Press the recording REC button to stop recording or press the PLAY button to stop playing or

exit from the System Setup menu before turning the power OFF.

• If the DVR will not be used for a long time, also disconnect the power cord from the electrical

outlet.

3. Normal Recording Process

• Turn power ON to DVR and all related peripheral devices (cameras, monitor). Ensure that there

is video input.

• Press the DISPLAY button to check the amount of spare space on the hard disk. If there

appears to be insufficient space on the hard disk, consider whether to change hard disk first or

select overwriting mode via System Setup.

• Check all recording parameters setup before recording. Video quality and frame rate must be

selected. Recording settings cannot be modified during the recording process.

• Manual recording is part of a normal recording process. Under the manual recording mode

(non-schedule status), pressing the REC button will record video on ALL active channels.

• Press the REC button to begin recording; up to 16 channels will start simultaneous recording.

While in normal recording mode, press the REC button again, enter the correct password (if

setup for entering a recording password) and it will stop recording.

• During the recording process, if the hard disk is full, and the system is set to automatic overwrite,

then the recording will not be interrupted, and it will begin to overwrite the earliest recorded files;

8/16 Channel Digital Video Recorder

if the system is not set to overwrite, it will stop recording.

4. Alarm Recording

• Alarm recording will not start by manually pressing the REC button.

• Alarm recording can only be activated by an alarm input signal or a sensed motion, so it is very

important to check whether the connection of the alarm input equipment is correct (for all its

physical components), stable, reliable, and the alarm and sensors are properly setup. Refer to

Alarm Connection in the SYSTEM CONNECTION section, and Sensor Setup and Motion

Detection settings in the SYSTEM SETUP section of this manual.

• The precondition of whether the alarm recording can be activated by an exterior input signal or

by motion is that the system must be set via the SCHEDULE SET. Also, in the menu of Alarm

Setup, for alarm triggering, the Alarm Enable of the channel(s) must be set to “ON”. And

finally, for motion alarm triggering, the Motion Enable of the respective channels must be set to

“ON”. The Area Set for each channel must be defined for motion detection. Refer to the

SYSTEM SETUP sections of this manual.

• Under an “off-schedule” status, the system will not start alarm recording. Setting the Schedule

ON or OFF is achieved by pressing the Schedule key on the front panel, not through a System

Setup menu and screen windows. Under a Schedule-ON situation, “S” will display on the screen.

• Alarm video recording cannot stop by simply pressing the REC button, but will stop by removing

the set Schedule. Once the system is set on schedule, the schedule may not be removed randomly,

there is a password protection (if set up that way) to remove Schedule. In that case, only after

inputting the correct password, the schedule settings can be turned off (cancelled).

• Check the Alarm recording setup before recording; confirm video quality and frame rate,

remember that the record settings cannot be modified during the recording process.

• As long as the alarm triggering input signal is effective (active), the alarm recording continues.

After the alarm input signal becomes ineffective, the duration set up by “Alarm/Motion

Recording Time” (defined in the SENSOR SETUP menu for SENSOR RECTIME) becomes

effective, and when that extra time has expired, the alarm recording automatically stops. Again,

to manually stop the alarm recording, the only way possible is by removing the setup Schedule as

explained above.

5. Time Recording

• Time recording will begin and end automatically according to pre-determined time periods.

Recording is associated to a fixed timetable, for example, working hours or after hours recording

with fixed start/stop times. It is setup via the SCHEDULE SETUP menu for a weekly schedule.

See Schedule Set in the SYSTEM SETUP section of this manual.

• To start the Time Recording function, prepare a recording schedule beforehand and set it up as

explained above. Press the Schedule key on the front panel to set Schedule ON. The schedule

symbol “S” will display on the screen. Without pressing the Schedule button, the Time Recording

parameter setup will not work.

• Time Recording is effective if the system is set up according to a Schedule.

8/16 Channel Digital Video Recorder

• During Time Recording, pressing the Schedule button in the front panel again and entering a

password (if set up that way) will stop time recording.

• Because Time Recording is correlated with real time, before using this function adjust the

Time/Date settings. See the corresponding section in the SYSTEM SETUP section of this

manual.

6. Playback

• Press the PLAY button and the DVR starts playback of images recorded. In the process of

playing, press the pause button (remote only) to pause playing, pressing PLAY again continues

playback. Pressing PLAY on the front panel will start and stop playback.

• During FORWARD (fast forward) playing or REW (fast rewind), pressing PLAY will resume

normal playing from current location.

• Continuously pressing the FORWARD button will cycle the fast-forward speed among five levels:

x2, x4, x8, x16, and x32. Continuously pressing the REW button will cycle the fast-rewind speed

among four levels: x2, x4, x8, and x16.

• During playback mode, press and hold the SF (Single Frame) button to backward play, frame by

frame. Press and hold both the SF and FORWARD buttons will play forward frame by frame.

Release and it pauses, then press the PLAY button again to playback normally.

• Pressing the PLAY button again will stop playing.

1. About the Network

Users can select the following types of Network:

1): Local Area Network (LAN): Telecom companies offer Internet connection, e.g. optical fiber, and

users of a community/building set up with the Internet server. Cables installed in the end user’s

office/home via HUB.

2): ADSL: User applies for ADSL from Internet service supplier and connects an ADSL MODEM.

Connect the computer to the ADSL MODEM. Input user name and password in the dialing software so

that users can connect to the Internet.

3): Close Circuit Television Broadband: Users apply for CCTV connection from a CCTV services

supplier. Connect the computer to a CABLE MODEM to access internet services.

4): In companies or Internet cafes: Network administrators utilize routers or a proxy server to connect

all the computers to one Internet cable. All the computers will use the same Internet IP address.

Corporations are currently using this type of network connection.

Switcher

8/16 Channel Digital Video Recorder

2. Network Configuration

After connecting to the Internet, DVR users should configure for remote view/playback.

1. LAN: When in LAN, network administrators should open the following ports for specific computers:

5000- 5001. Please make sure that other services do not use the same ports.

2. PROXY SERVER: If the connection to the Internet is by proxy server, users should utilize port

mapping software and open ports 5000 –5001 for the surveillance DVR.

3. ROUTER: If users connect to the Internet by router, users should add the IP address of the

surveillance DVR and open the above mentioned ports in DMZ setup or via Virtual Server setup of the

router (the names may be different for different types of routers) To do this, from a PC connected to the

same router as the DVR find out the IP Address of the router by going to the Start button, click on

Run-type in CMD and click OK, then type in IPCONFIG at the curser to list the IP, Gateway and Subnet.

If the IP is 192.168.1.xxx, then nothing else is needed. But if the IP is something like this:

192.168.0.xxx and Gateway: 192.168.0.1, then the IP of the DVR must be changed. Go to the SETUP

MODE menu and then to NETWORK SETUP and change the IP to 192.168.000.167 and Gateway to

192.168.000.001. Refer to your Router Manual under Router Setup on how to do port forwarding, to

forward ports 5000 and 5001 to the IP Address of the DVR. To access the DVR remotely you will also

need to put the IP address of the network the DVR is attached to into Netviewer. You can get this by

going to the website http://myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR.

Enter this address into the IP window in Netviewer and enter the password for the DVR which is 0000

8/16 Channel Digital Video Recorder

by default, a sample router setup for port forwarding is shown below:

Under Protocol Type select Both, if there is no “Both” option then you have to create an entry for TCP,

and then create another entry for UDP so that the ports are forwarded for both protocols.

8/16 Channel Digital Video Recorder

You may also need to modify the firewall on the router to allow the ports to be forwarded. Below is a

sample of what that program may look like for your router:

4. CABLE and ADSL MODEM: For CABLE MODEM and ADSL MODEM types, the configuration

is somewhat similar. If users use a CABLE/ADSL network connection and the surveillance system

computer connects to the CABLE/ADSL MODEM, then the ports should all open by default. If not,

close the Firewall per the MODEM user’s manual. Since CABLE and ADSL MODEM network users

usually use dynamic IP addresses, once the MODEM restarts, the IP addresses will change. In this case,

users should contact their Internet Service Provider for a static IP address for the DVR.
