AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ANALOG AND SDI CAMERAS

Hybrid DVRs utilize both conventional analog and digital high deﬁnition SDI (Serial Digital Interface) cameras. Both cameras use similar cables and connectors, (see Section 2.5 for connection instructions) but they are not interchangeable as they are two completely different - and incompatible technologies. SDI cameras connected to analog Video In ports will not provide video and vice versa.

The QT604 DVR will only work with a maximum of three analog cameras and one SDI camera while the QT608 DVR is able to work with up to six analog cameras and two SDI cameras.

CHAPTER 2

You may view this DVR using an HDMI or standard 19” (or larger) VGA monitor or a television. The HDMI and VGA ports are on the back panel of the DVR along with the CVBS port for the television which uses a BNC connector. Your system includes an HDMI cable but you will need to provide your own VGA cable if you choose to use a monitor with that connection. Similarly, we have included a BNC-to-RCA adapter, but you will need to supply your own RCA video cable. Your DVR is conﬁgured to use the HDMI or VGA port as the main display. To use a TV, you will need to press and hold the STOP/ESC button for approximately 10 seconds until you hear a beep indicating that the video mode has been switched. A display connected to the other port will not show the menu.

In addition to the buttons on the front of the DVR, your system can be controlled through the USB mouse and 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.

2.3 REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control allows you to perform most of the day-to-day functions from a convenient 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.

2.2 MOUSE

The mouse is the default tool for navigating through the menus. Speciﬁc instructions for its use within a function appear in the appropriate sections of the manual, but a basic overview is below:

In Live View:

Double-click the left button on any camera view in split-screen mode to bring it to full-screen display.

Double-click again to return to split-screen mode.

Right-click to show the control bar at the bottom of the screen.

Right-clicking again will hide the control bar.

In Setup:

Left-click to make a selection. Right-click to cancel setup or return to previous screen.

PICTURE 2-1

To Input Values:

Move the cursor to a blank ﬁeld and click. A virtual keyboard will appear which supports numbers, letters and symbols. The Shift function will access symbols in addition to upper case letters.

Certain values, such as time settings, can be changed using the mouse wheel.

The remote uses two AAA-sized batteries. If the remote’s performance degrades, check the batteries as well as making sure that the IR receiver window on the DVR is unobstructed.

QT-Series DVRs include an HDMI video out port to take advantage of the HD video from the SDI camera. Additionally, you can use a television or a 19” or larger monitor as a main video display. An old-style CRT (cathode ray tube) television can also be used for displaying the live and recorded video as well. While a video display allows easy monitoring and play back of video at the DVR, it is not needed for day to day use of your DVR if you are only monitoring it remotely via a mobile device or using a computer. However, a video screen is needed for initial setup.

CONNECTING A VIDEO DISPLAY

Instructions on connecting a desired video display are included in the Quick Start Poster that came with your system but are included here for your convenience.

High Definition Television

To connect to an HD television or other high deﬁnition screen with HDMI video input:

STEP 1. Plug an HDMI cable into the “HDMI” port on the back of the DVR. STEP 2. Plug the other end into the “HDMI” port on the television. STEP 3. Plug the television’s power cable into a surge protector.

A third option for a video display is any television with an RCA video input. The DVR’s Video Out port uses a BNC type for coaxial cable. Your DVR will include a BNC-to-RCA or adapter. To utilize this method, you must supply your own RCA video cable. You will need to switch the DVR’s video setting as well to use that as a primary output by following Step 4, below:

STEP 1. Connect a BNC-to-RCA cable to the “CVBS” port on the back of the DVR. STEP 2. Plug the RCA end into the “Video In” port on the television. STEP 3. Plug the television’s power cable into a surge protector. STEP 4. Press and hold the STOP, STOP/ESC, EXIT, n/ESC or

VGA Monitor

Using a standard VGA monitor - the type used with most computers - with your DVR is the preferred method and the DVR is conﬁgured with this in mind. Due to resolution restrictions, you must use a monitor that has at least a 19” diagonal display. This information is typically included in the monitor’s

STEP 1. Plug a VGA cable into the port marked “VGA” on the back of the DVR. STEP 2. Plug the other end of the VGA cable into the similar port on the back of the monitor. STEP 3. Plug the monitor’s power cable into the surge protector.

‘MISSING’ MENU

If you are able to see your camera’s video feeds, but you are unable to see your mouse cursor or menu, the most likely cause is that your video mode has been changed. In this case, you need to follow Step 4, above and you should see the cursor and/or menu after the beep.

Some users will want to take advantage of the unused video display outputs (ie; using the BNC Video Out port when the VGA or HDMI port is being used for the main display. This “extra” display will mirror whatever is shown on the primary display but it will not show the menu or cursor. If displays are connected to both the HDMI and VGA ports, both displays will show identical images if the display

CONNECTING CAMERAS

Your DVR uses BNC connectors and ports to ensure quick and secure connections for your cameras’ video cables. While both conventional analog and digital SDI (Serial Digital Interface) high deﬁnition cameras use this interface, they cannot be connected to a port intended for the other type because of incompatible signals. It is therefore important to ensure that you are attempting to connect to the proper port.

STEP 1. Connect the BNC and power leads on the camera to the matching connectors on the

power and video cable.

NOTE: The male power end ﬁts into the matching power lead on the camera.

STEP 2. Connect the BNC connector on the other end of the cable to the appropriate Video In port

on the back of the DVR.

STEP 3. Plug one of the power leads on the power splitter (if your camera kit includes one) into the

power lead on the power and video cable. If you are connecting only a single camera, connect the power lead to the power adapter and skip to Step 6, below.

CAMERA PLACEMENT

When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for ﬁeld of view, but for other considerations as well:

Distance from viewing/recording device. higher the chances of signal degradation. Typical 75Ω Video Cable provides acceptable signal at distances up to 200’ (60m). At greater distances, UL-Listed shielded RG59 should be used. The camera’s power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the distance exceeds 200’ as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in a decrease in video quality.

Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference.

Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.

Place camera out of reach to avoid damage.

Avoid direct exposure to weather.

In an IP rating, there are two numbers that follow the letters “IP.” The ﬁrst represents the protection from solids while the second represents the housing’s protection from moisture.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Most users prefer to operate their systems with the DVRs recording only when motion is detected. This provides the most efﬁcient use of the hard drive’s capacity, plus making it easier for a recording to be located. However, if the a camera’s location has a lot of “environmental” motion, such as a fan, wind, or the like, you will receive a lot of “false alarms.” Usually, these events can be avoided by simply adjusting the placement of the camera. Other situations may require some ﬁne-tuning of your settings. Chapter 8 Alarms, covers these settings in detail, but some easily avoidable situations are presented below:

TV/Computer Screens. If the camera can see a video screen, it will trigger a motion alarm any time the screen changes, whether there is a video or simply a screen saver. The screen can be masked out as described in Section 4.2. You can also reduce the level of motion sensitivity in speciﬁc areas of the screen by following the instructions in Section 8.3.

Fans/Machinery. Motion is motion and if machinery within the camera’s ﬁeld of view starts automatically, it will cause an alert. Similarly, if the camera is mounted on a wall with machinery on the other side that causes it to vibrate, that can also cause it to detect motion. Moving machinery within the camera’s ﬁeld of view may be masked off as mentioned above, or motion detection may be turned off for that channel. If there is another camera that covers access to the area where the machinery is located, you can set it so that the ﬁrst camera will only be recording when triggered by a motion event detected by this second camera. See “Triggers” in described in Section 8.3.

Bugs. An occasional insect ﬂying through the ﬁeld of view is usually not enough to trigger an alert. However, some ﬂying insects are attracted to infrared light and will swarm the camera. This is usually a temporary situation that occurs at only a certain time of the year. Lighting the area with yellow “bug light” of sufﬁcient brightness can keep the camera operating in daylight mode and keep the infrared LEDs turned off. A second solution is to set the channel to record all the time, and turn motion detection off at night until “bug season” is over. Reducing the motion sensitivity (Section 8.3) can also reduce alerts as can using another camera to trigger recording as described above.

Additionally, keep your cameras clear of spider webs as the movement of the webs due to wind or critters in the web will cause an alert. The reﬂection of the infrared off the webs and back into the camera will also reduce the night vision range.

Snow/Rain. disabled to avoid false alarms. However, positioning the camera further under shelter, such as closer to the wall and away from the edge of the eaves, can make the rain or snow too small for the camera to notice. Adjusting motion sensitivity may also help in some situations.

960H CAMERAS

A new standard for analog video cameras, 960H increases the width of the image from D1’s 720x480 pixels to 960x480 pixels. When connected to a DVR with 960H capability, this allows the camera to take advantage of the wider aspect ratios of most monitors and HD screens to deliver a wider, clearer image, without the distortion caused by stretching to ﬁt the screen. This is demonstrated in the image below:

Standard analog camera image stretched to ﬁt HD aspect ratio.

You can use 960H cameras with analog DVRs that don’t have that technology, but the DVR will be unable take full advantage of the capabilities for best results.

DISPLAY MODE

By clicking on the display mode buttons on in the Control Bar you can quickly conﬁgure how your cameras’ video feeds are displayed. The settings here will temporarily override the default conﬁguration made in the Main Monitor tab in the Live menu (see Section 4.2 Live Configuration). You can select whether to view a single channel at a time, two channels in a picture in picture format, or view multiple channels in a split screen mode. In addition, users have the option to select how many channels to view at once as well as which channels will be shown in that multi-channel display. The number of display mode options and their conﬁguration will depend up on the model of your DVR. With the exception of the nine-channel viewing mode on an eight-channel system, your DVR will not have the option to display more channels than it supports. If you have fewer than the maximum number of cameras connected to your DVR, the channels without cameras will remain black and display a “Video

Loss” message.

Full, in-depth instructions on the functions and settings available in this window are presented in the Remote Monitoring Guide which is on the disk that came with your system or which can be downloaded from our website at www.Q-See.com/Support. The four tabs in this window are Network, Sub-Stream, Email and Other Settings. If you will only be monitoring the DVR from another computer on your network, you will only need to use the ﬁrst three tabs.

It is important that your DVR is connected to your network router and that the router is powered on before proceeding.

This window displays the information on the DVR’s local network and Internet addresses which will allow you to access the DVR on a network. As discussed in the Remote Monitoring Guide, you will use the local network address to access your system from the same wireless or intranet network that the DVR is connected to. When you are outside of that area, you will use the Internet address shown (see below) or the DDNS address that you will set up.

IMPORTANT! The majority of routers available on the market since 2008 have Universal

Plug and Play (UPnP) capability, which allows the DVR to connect automatically to the network. Consult the Quick Networking Poster or the Remote Monitoring Guide before changing Network settings.

Network Tab

HTTP Port – This is the port the DVR will use

to communicate through the router. When accessing the DVR remotely from the Internet, you will need to enter your network’s remote IP address (obtained in the next step) in the address bar of an Internet Explorer window. For example: http://88.116.0.25

NOTE! The default value is 85. If port 85 is already occupied by another device on the network, then another port will need to be selected. Choose another number in the same range; 81-89. In this case, you will have to add the port to the IP address when entering

gateway IP from the router.

directly connect your DVR to the Internet through your modem. Do not use this unless you are connected to a modem instead of a router. Contact your ISP for your account information including user name and password. The TEST button will verify that your information is correct.

Deﬁnitions and descriptions of network conﬁguration:

Parameter Definition

HTTP Port The network port number for accessing the DVR from a remote location. The default

port is 85

Server Port The port number for data. The default port is 6036

Static IP

Substream Tab

The substream is the data that is sent to remote monitoring devices. Due to bandwidth concerns, these data streams are generally smaller than those sent directly to the DVR itself. These streams run in parallel with the main stream sent to the hard drive and they do not affect each other.

Substream settings are conﬁgured in the same manner as that used for the primary stream settings in the Record Bitrate tab in Section

4.3 Certain settings will be grayed out and cannot be changed due to throughput concerns. The deﬁnitions are repeated for your convenience:

Variable Bit Rate versus Constant Bit Rate. VBR provides better image quality for video with motion in it, but at the expense of a larger ﬁle size.

Only available when VBR is selected. The higher the quality, the more drive space required. CBR’s default setting is for higher quality.

This sets the maximum bitrate that each camera will record at with VBR encoding selected.

Email Tab

This tab allows you to set how your DVR will send out e-mail alerts. You will be able to send e-mail alerts to three addresses.

NOTE! Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a dedicated e-mail address speciﬁcally for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own e-mail system (such as a corporate mail server) you should consider using a free e-mail provider. However, because many free e-mail services allow only

Gmail service with its higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert emails to go to a different account than the one sending them. This will ease your management of these alerts and help keep your mail account from overﬂowing.

If you do not have your own e-mail system, please set up a free account which the DVR can use to send out alerts before proceeding.

For the example below, we will use Gmail. The settings can be found under Options when logged into your Gmail account.

Clicking on any of the ﬁelds will bring up the virtual keyboard allowing you to enter the data. The virtual keyboard is capable of handling upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and symbols. Click the

Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. When they do, you will lose the ability to remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-of-network device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). This will give you a domain name that can be linked to your IP address and will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote connections to your network when the IP address changes.

Q-See offers DDNS for free at MyQ-See.com. Create a domain name, user name and password before proceeding. DynDNS.com also offers a similar free service. This is covered in-depth in the Remote Monitoring Guide.

Select the box in the DDNS ﬁeld to enable DDNS. You will then enter the user name, domain name and password you created into the appropriate ﬁelds. You can also select the interval in days at which the DDNS checks to see whether your IP address has changed. Intervals range from every 30 minutes to once a day.

BACKUP

CHAPTER 5

This DVR supports backing up ﬁles to USB ﬂash drives, USB hard drives and USB DVD burners through the USB port on the front panel. Remote backups can be performed over the Internet. Refer to Section

2.4 Remote Backup in the Remote Monitoring Guide.

NOTE! External USB hard drives used for backing up data will need to be in the FAT32 format. Most new drives will need to be reformatted before use with this DVR.

FORMATTING A USB DRIVE IN FAT32

To format a USB ﬂash drive with FAT32, plug it into a PC running Windows XP or later. Go to My Computer to locate the drive’s icon. Right click on it and select Format in the list of available options.

Select FAT32 and check the box marked Quick Format before clicking Start.

For USB drives over 32GB in size, you should use a FAT32 format utility such as those available through CNET.com.

BACKING UP A FILE

Selecting BACKUP in the Main Menu will open the Backup conﬁguration window.

The search for ﬁles to backup is much like the method used to search for ﬁles to play back as was covered in the previous chapter.

Set the start and end times as well as channel(s) you wish to back up. Clicking the Search button will bring up the search results in the Data

Backup list box.

PICTURE 5-1

Select speciﬁc events or select the All button. Clicking the Backup button will bring up the Backup Information window:

This window will present a summary of the number of ﬁles, starting and ending times, total size of the ﬁles and whether you have space available on the receiving storage media. Disk Cleanup will erase the contents of the storage media to make room. You can select which type of device you are recording to as well as what type of ﬁle you will be creating.

PICTURE 5-2

Save File Type: Choose between DVR and AVI . The former will save the video in a proprietary format

while the latter will create a standard .avi ﬁle usable by most media playback software. If you choose the DVR format, you need to select the Desktop Player option (see Picture 5-2) as well. This will save a stand-alone playback program in a separate folder labeled Video Play on the same drive.

Clicking on the Start button will begin the backup and the progress bar will display the progress.

PLAYING BACK A VIDEO FILE ON A COMPUTER

Windows PC - You may play AVI formatted ﬁles using Windows Media Player, QuickTime, DIVXplayer

or other media players. The ﬁles can be opened and played in a similar manner to any other media ﬁle. You may need to download and install the K-Lite Codec as described above.

The Superplay.msi program is a PC-only application and is saved onto the same drive as video ﬁles when the Backup Player option is selected. Launch the software in the normal manner and then click on

Open Path and navigate to the folder containing the video ﬁles and select the ﬁle you wish to play back.

Apple Macintosh - At this time, you must use the Remote Backup feature to save the ﬁle to your computer through the remote viewing software. See Section 2.4 of the Remote Monitoring Guide for instructions on this process.

You MUST select the AVI format when backing up the video ﬁle for playback on a Mac computer. You can use the QuickTime player or other video player and open the video ﬁle in the normal manner.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Audio

If you have recorded audio with the video ﬁle that you wish to back up, you MUST select the .DVR format for your ﬁle. You will also need to ensure that the box next to Desktop Player is selected as well. If you are sharing the video with anyone, such as law enforcement, the player will allow them to hear the audio along with seeing the video. You may also use the player to convert the ﬁle to the more conventional .AVI format and the audio tracks will be included in the video. Please note that ﬁles backed up via a Macintosh computer will not retain audio.

Locking the file

In situations where the video ﬁle is to be used as evidence, we recommend locking the ﬁle ﬁrst as described in Section 4.8 File Search, Playback and Management. This can be done either locally on the DVR, or remotely through your mobile device or computer. Please see the Remote Monitoring Guide for instructions on performing this function away from the DVR. Once it has been locked, it cannot be erased or overwritten unless the entire hard drive is reformatted.

If you have upgraded your system by installing a new drive (See Chapter 9) you will need to ﬁrst format the new hard disk before recording. You can reformat the current drive if desired by selecting the Format option in the drop down menu.

WARNING! Reformatting the drive will delete all recorded ﬁles stored on the

hard disk regardless of whether they are Locked!

Refresh will update the information about the drive.

PICTURE 6-11

IMPORTANT! Please make note of your settings before updating the ﬁrmware on a

QT426 or QT446 as the upgrade process will restore factory defaults. Other models will retain their user settings.

NOTE! While a Macintosh computer can read and write to a drive in the FAT32 format, it cannot reformat a USB ﬂash drive to that standard. We suggest that you use a PC to reformat your USB ﬂash drive to FAT32 and it is recommended that you download ﬁrmware updates on a PC. Beginning with version 3.1.71, you can use the

Upgrade feature in the Remote Monitoring software (see Section 2.5 of the Remote Monitoring Guide) to upgrade without a USB ﬂash drive.

WARNING! Updating the ﬁrmware incorrectly or using the wrong update can

permanently damage the chipset on the DVR and render it unusable. Updates are written to either resolve issues or add features to the DVR. If you are not experiencing performance issues or do not need a feature added by the update, we recommend not

running the update.

6.5 LOGOFF

Logging out of the DVR is recommended when there are multiple users or when physical access to the DVR is not restricted. Clicking on the Logoff icon will bring up a window asking for conﬁrmation.

After logging off, a user can log back in by clicking on the Menu icon and entering their user name and password.

6.6 SHUT DOWN

This is a “soft power down” of the DVR. It shuts down the ﬁrmware and hard drive, but does not power down the DVR itself.

WARNING! It is vital that the DVR be instructed to shut down using the Shut Down

menu option prior to unplugging the device in order to avoid damaging the ﬁrmware or hard drive itself.

PAN/TILT/ZOOM CAMERAS

7.1 CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA

CHAPTER 7

Your DVR can support one or more PTZ camera. You can use both SDI and analog PTZ cameras as long as they are connected to the correct Video In port. These cameras connect to the DVR through the same ports as a conventional camera, but the control wires connect through the RS485 block on the back of the DVR. Picture 7-1, below, shows the location of the block on the rear panel of a QT608 DVR. Please consult Chapter 2 Connections and Controls to ﬁnd the diagram representing your model for the location of your connector block.

The RS485 connector uses a single-direction protocol meaning that it can send commands out to the camera(s) but not receive any data back from the unit. In other words, directional controls travel through one cable and video images will be delivered through the video cable as with any other camera.

The DVR is set by default for RS485 to be disabled for each channel. Therefore, PTZ settings must be enabled before PTZ cameras can be utilized. This system supports 26 of the most common protocols including Pelco-D and Pelco-P.

When connecting a PTZ camera, the following should be taken into account:

• The 485 port of this DVR cannot parallel connect with the 485 port of another device

• The voltage between the A and B lines of the camera should be less than 5V.

STEP 1. The data cable from the PTZ

camera must be connected to the ports highlighted in Picture 7-1. Multiple PTZ cameras can be connected to this port, but you may require an expander port to do so.

STEP 2. Connect the other end of the cable

to the proper pins in the connector on the camera

STEP 3. Connect the camera video and

power cables as you would any other camera.

PICTURE 7-1

7.2 PAN-TILT-ZOOM (PTZ) CONFIGURATION

If you are connecting optional Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras, the controls are set from this window in the Serial Port and Advanced tabs.

ALARMS

Your DVR can be conﬁgured to perform multiple actions to alert you when it detects a situation through the cameras, such as motion, loss of video signal or a blocked camera. When an event is detected the system can notify local or remote users as as well as triggering other cameras to begin recording.

Your DVR cannot utilize inputs from other external sensors, nor can it trigger external alarm devices.

There are three types of alarms - Motion, Events and Other. The fourth option in the Alarm window, Alarm Out, controls the DVR’s internal speaker for audible alarm notiﬁcation.

MotionMotion EventEvent Other AlarmOther Alarm Alarm OutAlarm Out

CHAPTER 8

MOTION

The two tabs in this window allow you to enable motion detection, determine what actions will happen (Triggers) and schedule when motion detection will occur. By default, your DVR is set up to have motion detection turned on and functioning 24/7 as discussed in SECTION 4.4. Similarly, alert notiﬁcations are also enabled. For obvious reasons, such as normal, daily activity around the camera locations, this conﬁguration may not work for everyone. Use the Schedule tab to set the hours when you wish to receive alert notiﬁcations via email or your QT View mobile app.

Motion Tab

The Motion Detection alarm function incorporates two features which allow you to manage each camera’s alerts more precisely:

Hold Time: determines the time allowed between

consecutive alarm events. If the alarm is triggered again within this time, it will be treated as a single event and the DVR will continue recording before stopping.

Trigger: This is what the DVR will do once

activated by an alarm. Selecting Setting will open a new window with three tabs;

Alarm, To Record and To PTZ.

PICTURE 8-2

Alarm allows you to set whether the internal buzzer will sound, which camera (if any) will display in full screen mode, whether an e-mail will be sent and whether still image snapshots will be taken.

Email notiﬁcations are set up in the Email tab of the Network window as covered in SECTION 4.5.

To Record. The DVR will start recording on a channel where motion is detected, but you can also set other cameras on your system to record as well.

For example: If Camera 1 detects motion, you can have it trigger Cameras 2 and 3 to begin

recording as well.

To PTZ. If you have a PTZ camera connected and set up (see previous chapter), you can have it move to a selected, preconﬁgured position.

Area Also found in the Motion tab, this allows the user to set the sensitivity of certain areas within the camera’s ﬁeld of view and to turn off motion sensitivity in speciﬁc areas.

By clicking on the Select button you will be presented with that camera’s video feed with a blue grid overlaying it.

Areas covered by the blue grid will detect motion. Motion detection can be turned off in speciﬁc areas by erasing the blue grid in the desired section of the screen by clicking and dragging with the mouse.

Repeating the process will restore the grid lines.

Clicking on the trash can button will remove the grid completely from the screen, turning motion detection off.

Clicking on the star button will restore the grid across the entire screen.

As sensitivity is inﬂuenced by color and light level, you can adjust its values according to your speciﬁc conditions. The default value is “4.” A setting of “8” is most sensitive while a setting of “1” is minimally sensitive.

Right-clicking in the screen will show or hide the control menu at the bottom of the screen.

Test your settings by moving something or someone through the grid area in the camera’s view. Motion should not be detected outside of this area but you should see a yellow humanoid ﬁgure appear in the screen once the DVR detects movement within the grid. Removing the grid where there is a ﬂag or trees that frequently move

in the wind will prevent false alerts. Click on the Disk button to save your settings before exiting the setup process by clicking on the X button.

Schedule Tab

This is also set to be on all the time by default and it can be adjusted in the same manners as the Motion Dection Schedule conﬁguration in SECTION 4.4.

1. Highlight individual hours for speciﬁc days by using the pencil tool in the upper right of the window to add hours. The adjacent eraser tool removes the highlighting in a block, turning off alarm notiﬁcation for that time period. Double click on either the pencil or eraser tool to turn them off. Settings can be copied and applied to any or all of the channels and to any other day.

Schedules made in one of these methods can be altered by the other method.

PICTURE 8-5

VIDEO LOSS

In the event that signal is lost by one camera, others can be activated to record while additional devices can also be triggered.

Like the Trigger tab in the Alarm Handling section of the Sensor menu, you can select the events that you wish to occur in the event that a video input is lost. Both Alarms and PTZ events can be scheduled as in the Sensor menu above.

PICTURE 8-6

OTHER ALARM

There are certain other situations which can affect the operating status of your DVR and which you will want to be notiﬁed of if and when they occur. In this menu you can set the DVR to alert you to a full Hard Drive, IP Conﬂict on the network or a Disconnection.

HARD DISK DRIVE

Your DVR uses a standard desktop or 3.5” SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk drive and will support drives up to 2TB (terabytes). These drives are the current industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your DVR, your hard drive may already be installed. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this DVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user. A 5400RPM drive will work but a 7200RPM drive is recommended for optimal performance.

It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case besides the battery and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case. Such damage will not be covered.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!

The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so can result in damage to the DVR or its components as well as injury or death.

CHAPTER 9

9.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL

It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk of static discharge which can damage electronic components.

Whether installing the drive for the ﬁrst time or removing the old one to install a new one, the steps are largely the same:

STEP 1. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.

STEP 2. Remove screws from the side and rear of your DVR as indicated in Picture 9-1

Remove Screws

You can set the response as well as at what threshold of remaining disk space you wish to be alerted.

PICTURE 8-7

ALARM OUT

Set how the alarms are handled at the DVR itself. Your system has an internal speaker which can produce a loud, audible alarm when an event occurs. You can set the hold time, or the interval between consecutive alarm activations so multiple events within the interval will not cause the alarm to sound again.

PICTURE 9-1

STEP 3. Remove the case by sliding it

backwards and then lifting off.

STEP 3A. If removing a hard drive, you

will need to unscrew the four drive mounting screws at the bottom of the DVR.

STEP 4. Connect the power and data

cables. Press ﬁrmly, but do not force them onto the pins or you may damage them. The connectors are “keyed” to ensure they are connected in the proper position.

STEP 5. Attach hard drive to the base of

the DVR with screws using the four mounting holes.

STEP 6. Replace the DVR cover and

secure.

9 .2 CALCULATING THE RECORDING CAPACITY OF A HARD DRIVE

While the physical data capacity of a hard drive is ﬁxed, how much video you can record upon it depends on your recording conﬁgurations. Higher quality recordings will take up more space on the drive and setting the DVR to record for more frequently will ﬁll it up more rapidly.

To determine the optimal capacity for your purposes, the chart below to estimate the size of hard drive that you’ll need.

The formula for calculating the required disk space is:

Total Recording Capacity = Used space per hour (MB/h) x Recording time (hour) x number of channels

Example: A customer is using the NTSC format (30 frames per second), CIF resolution with video quality set to Lowest and a total of 16 Channels. He wants the unit to record continuously for a month. Therefore, the calculation will look like this:

56(MB/h), x 24 (hours/day) x 30 (days) x 16 (channels) = 645,120MB or 650GB

Installing a 750GB SATA hard drive should provide enough space for one month’s continuous recording time at those settings.
