3. Basic installation

3.1 HDD installation

Please install the Hard disk before using this product for the first time. Please connect the HDD power and data cable correctly (our product can support 1 or 2 or 4 or 8 HDDs). How many HDDs it can support depends on which kind of product the buyer purchases.

Note: the device can run normally without HDD, but cannot do record and playback.

3.2 Mouse connection

To connect the mouse you have the option of using either of the two USB ports attached to the rear panel. Both can be used for a mouse, flash disk, WIFI or 3G module/dongle, etc.

3.3 Monitor connection

To view DVR menu and interface system, you will need to connect a computer monitor to the device. The rear panel has VGA and HDMI video output ports to connect the monitor to.

4. Alarm Input and Output Connections

4.1. Alarm input

 Alarm input is grounding alarm input.  Alarm input demand is the grounding voltage signal.  When the alarm is connected with two DVRs or connected with DVR and

other equipment, it should be isolated by relay.

4.2 Alarm output

 Alarm output cannot be connected to a high-power load (no more than

1Amp).

 When forming the output loop you must prevent high current levels from

damaging the relay. Please use the contact isolator when there is a highpower load.

4.3 PTZ decoder connections

 Make sure the grounding of the PTZ decoder and DVR are shared

otherwise the common-mode voltage will lead to the PTZ control failing. It is recommended to use shielded twisted pair.

 Try to incorporate precautions to prevent electrical damage from an

unstable mains power source. Please use surge protection devices or uninterruptible power supplies.

 In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce

inflections and insure the signal quality.

 The 485 AB lines of DVR cannot be connected with other 485 output

equipment in parallel.

 The voltage between the AB lines of the decoder must be less than 5V.

4.4 Front equipment grounding note

 Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the internal chipset.

4.5 Alarm input type unlimited

 The DVR alarm output port is set to a constant opening type.

5. Startup
