How to Read This Lon g Manual
This is a big and detailed user manual, but you won’t have to read all of it. You can read the QIG we provided
in the box first to setup you r DVR system . It can tak e a few hours to c onnect ever ything and run t hrough the
setup procedure.
This big manual is for users who want to get everything out of the DVR’s capabilities, while the DVR is
seriously configurable, the out-of-the-box settings do a great job in 90% of situations, but some users will want
to get into every detail, so that information is presented for those who need it.
The Basic Setup
You can finish most basic installation of the DVR by following the steps in QIG
To get the most out of your hard drive, we suggest that you configure your DVR to record only when it detects
motion – that way, you won ’t fill the hard drive with uneventful video.
Before installing anything, connect the DVR and cameras and test your system for functionality. We
ensure everything is working prop er ly when we ship th em out, but some time s thi ngs c an be da maged
in transport, and occasionally components may fail. It is better to find out now, before everything is
fixed in place.
Start the DV R Setup
There are 3 steps to getting your DVR set up. If you want to use the default settings, you’ll only need to
complete step 1 and 2.
1. Connecting the DVR(see the connection diagram from P10~12)
2. Follow the QIG we attached in the Box
3. Optional: Follow the DVR Menu Functions to complete additional functions.

Tools & Preparation
You will need a Philips-head screwdriver and a hard disk drive to install inside the DVR housing.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Specifications: 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drive (up to 4TB).
Installation Steps
Make sure to take precautions against static electricity discharges when installing the HDD. Static discharge
could damage the drive and the internal components of the DVR. To reduce this risk, it is best to work on an
anti-static mat and use a grounding wrist strap.
1. Use a Philips-head screwdriver to remove the DVR’s external metal housing by removing the two screws
on each side of the housing and the one at upper back edge. Set the screws aside to be used for reassembly.
2. The HDD will have mounting holes on the underside of the drive and these should line up with the mounting
holes in the bottom of the DVR. Orient the drive so that the power and data cable connectors are facing the
front of the DVR and align the mounting holes on the HDD with the mounting holes in the bottom of the DVR.
Use the supplied screws to fasten the HDD to the DVR’s metal frame by inserting the screws from the outside
of the DVR through the housing and then screw them into the HDD’s mounting holes. To avoid undesirable
results, it is important that the HDD be securely mounted to the DVR.
3. Connect the power and data cables from the DVR circuit board to the HDD. The connectors are of different
sizes and are keyed for easy and correct placement.
4. Replace the DVR external metal housing and secure it with the housing screws.
Note:
The capacity of the HDD determines how much video can be recorded in addition to whatever DVR
parameters (recording or encoding setup) have been set to make the recording. Refer to section 5.10 in
Chapter 5 of this manual for more information.
