Thank you for purchasing this SecurityTronix Hybrid Video Recorder!
The documentation for this HVR comes in 2 formats; this printed Quick
Start Guide and a full installation manual in PDF format on the included
DVD disc. The full manual is also available online at:

http://www.securitytronix.com/products/products.php?cat=HVR

This quick start guide covers the most essential information for getting
the HVR up and running:

 Making connections and powering up.
 Logging into the HVR menus.
 Setting the time and Date.
 Setting the HVR to record 24/7.
 Making network connections and remote access.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

There are 3 connection types which MUST be made to use the HVR:

1) Up to 16 BNC video inputs from cameras (#1 in the image

above).

2) Power for the HVR. Use the supplied 12VDC power supply (#6

in the image above).

3) Monitor output. Either the BNC connection (composite video, # 2

above) or the VGA connection (RGB video #9 above). VGA is

the recommended output.
It is also strongly recommended to use the included USB mouse via the
rear panel USB connection (#5). An Ethernet connection (#10) will also
be needed for remote viewing of the HVR.

POWERING ON and SHUTTING DOWN

Powering On

a. Plug the 12 volt DC connector of the included power

supply into the HVR’s power port. Then plug the AC

plug into an appropriate AC power outlet which supplies

between 110 and 127 volts AC.

b. Once there is power to the HVR the POWER indicator

light will be displayed on the HVR’s front panel. The

HVR will beep after startup.

Shutting Down

There are two methods for shutting down the HVR:

a. Enter the MAIN MENU select LOGOUT then select

SHUTDOWN or right-click the mouse and from the

Short-cut Menu select LOGOUT followed by

SHUTDOWN. Note the user must be logged in to shut

down the HVR. A Logout/Shutdown screen similar to the

one below is displayed.

b. Remove power to the unit by disconnecting the power

supply. This, however, should be avoided as doing so

may corrupt and/or damage the hard drive. Only remove

power from the unit if the HVR will not respond to a

shutdown through the Main Menu as described above.

LOGGING INTO THE HVR MENU

Once the HVR is powered up, right-click the mouse and choose
“Main Menu” from the pop-up menu. A window will appear to
prompt you to log in. The default User Name is “admin”. The

password is left blank by default. Click “OK” and you will be

logged in.

If the password has been changed then forgotten or misplaced,
it will be impossible to log into the HVR. In this case please

In order to use the password reset service you must provide
credentials to verify that you are the authorized installer of the
HVR.
