2 Open-package check and cable connections
2.1 Open-package check
When you receive the DVR, please check first.
First, please check whether there is any visible damage to the package appearance. The protective materials
used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation.
Then, please open the box and get rid off the plastic protective materials. Check whether there is any visible
damage to the DVR appearance.
At last, please open the machine crust and check the data wire in the front panel, power wire, the connection
between the fan power and the main board.
Front panel and rear panel
♦ The key function specification in the front panel and the interface specification in the real panel are in
the specification.
♦ Please check the product type in the front panel whether is accordant with the product type you
order.
The label in the real panel is very important for the after service. Please protect it carefully. When you
contact us for after service, please provide the product type and serial number in the label.
2.2 Hard disk installation
For the first use，please install the hard disk.

2.5 Audio and video input and output connections
2.5.1 Video input connections
The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0V
The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the high signal to noise ratio, low
aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the appropriate brightness.

,75Ω).
P-P
2.5.2 Video output connections and options
H.264 Network Digital Video Recorder User Manual
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0V
, 75Ω) and VGA output(selective configuration).
P-P
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.
1.Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
2.Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3.Stay away from the electro magnetic Interference.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control the
power supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The creepage of low quality
TV can lead to the damage of other equipments.
2.5.3 Audio signal input
Audio port is BNC connection.
The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electro magnetic Interference and connected
credible which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage current should be avoided
especially.
2.5.4 Audio signal output
Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ(BNC) which can connect the
low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipments through power amplifier. If
the sound box and the tone arm can not be isolated, howling phenomena is often existed. There are some
methods to deal with the above phenomena.
1、 Adopt better directional tone arm.
2、 Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling phenomena.
3、 Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.
4、 Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.
2.6 Speed dome connections
1.Connect the 485 lines of the speed dome with the DVR 485 interface.
2.Connect the video line with the DVR video input.
3.Electrify the speed domes.

3 Basic operation
Note: The button in gray display indicates nonsupport.
3.1 Turn on
Plug the power supply and turn on the power supply switch. Power supply indicator light shining indicates
turning on the video recorder. After the startup you will hear a beep. The default setting of video output is
multiple-window output mode. If the startup time is within the video setting time, the timing video recording
function will start up automatically. Then the video indicator light of corresponding channel is shining and the
DVR is working normally.
Note: 1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.
2. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.
3.2 Turn off
There are two methods to turn off the DVR. Entering [main menu] and choosing [turn off] in the [turn off the
system] option is called soft switch. Pressing the power supply switch is called hard switch.
Illumination:
1. Auto resume after power failure
If the DVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and resume previous working
status after power failure.
2. Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the real panel must be turned off.
3.Replace the battery
Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved and the power supply switch in the real
panel must be turned off. The DVR uses button battery. The system time must be checked regularly. If the time
is not correct you must replace the battery, we recommend replacing the battery every year and using the
same battery type.
Note: The setting information must be saved before replacing the battery otherwise information will
lose.
3.3 System Login
When the DVR boots up, the user must login and the system provides the corresponding functions with the
user purview. There are three user settings. The names are admin, guest and default and these names
have no password. Admin is the super user purview; guest and default’s permissions are preview and video
playback. User admin and guest’s password can be revised, while their permissions can’t be revised; user
default is the default login user whose permission can be revised but not its password.
