Installation Guide
Camera and Monitor Installation
This manual has been carefully written to help you assemble and configure your digital video
recorder system for optimal performance. It’s easy to setup your digital video recorder just follow
the instructions on pages 14 through 30 for your basic setup. If you have any comments
questions about this manual, please feel free to call us at 800-335-9777.
1. Remove your monitor from the box for testing your cameras and cables. You can use a TV
set with a video input if you don’t have a monitor. Plug your monitor into a 110-120 AC power
source. Do not mistake the antenna input on the TV for a VIDEO INPUT. Monitors and TV’s
have video inputs clearly marked. The TV RCA input will look some what like the image
below (labeled VIDEO INPUT). This type of input connector is called an RCA female input
jack.
2. Remove your cameras and camera power supplies from the box. Make sure you’re using
power supplies that have a REGULATED POWER SUPPLY 12 VOLT OUTPUT (very
important). Most power supplies have a label on the back that will tell you the type of output
the power supply is capable of producing. If there is no label, DO NOT USE THE POWER
SUPPLY.
14
NOTE: Un-regulated power supplies are very common and will damage your cameras.
3. Connect each one of your cameras to your regulated power supply and cable assembly.
Most cable assemblies are 100 ft long or more. You will see all types of cable configurations
here is one example of a cable option below.
4. Test each component of your video system prior to installation. Connect each camera
directly to the video monitor, using a new power adapter and cable for each camera. This will
test each component of your video system and confirm proper function prior to installation.
15
5. Connect the digital video recorder to cameras.

12. The date and time set by the manufacturer maybe different from your time zone. It is very
important to set up the system date and time before the DVR starts recording. Set the date
and time by using direction buttons and [-] [+] button or Jog shuttle.
NOTE:
playback errors.
DO NOT change the date and time after the recording starts it may and cause
23
• Date format- Asia/American/European
Time format- 12 hours/24 hours

24
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to select an item. Use the [+] and [-] keys to change the
value.
16. Set OVERWRITE to ON. When the hard
drive is full, the system will overwrite the
earliest recorded data. If the DVR has two
hard drives, the overwriting starts from
the Master drive. For this exercise,
leave OVERWRITE in the ON position.
17. Set MUTIPLEX to DUPLEX, this will allow
record and remote connection
simultaneously. The DVR stops recording
while the DVR enters playback. Leave in
DUPLEX mode.
18. Move on to QUALITY and RECORD IN MOTION.
QUALITY & RECORD IN MOTION
Review the charts below they will help you decide what options to go with for QUALITY and
RECORD IN MOTION settings.
25
The QUALITY mode has 5 options. Option names can be different depending on DVR version.
4, 8, 16 CHANNEL DMR.
1. HYPER
2. SUPER
3. HIGH
4. MID
5. LOW
The RECORD IN MOTION mode has different
parameters to choose from 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4… to
1/999. The higher the denominator the longer
period you can record. The recording speed is
expressed in fractions. The 1/ 1 record setting
will record at full recording speed. The 1 / 2
record setting will record at half of the recording
speed. The 1 /3 record setting will record at one
third of the recording speed.
QUALITY features provide different levels of
quality depending on your application.
Sometimes we are willing to give up on video
quality to get more hours out of our digital video
recorder. IPS is IMAGES PER SECOND or the
number of pictures your digital video recorder will
take in 1 second. A good example of IPS is to
imagine taking 30 pictures with a digital camera
of some one walking across a room. If you laid
out the 30 pictures, what you will have is a
smooth flowing sequence of pictures of someone crossing a room. If you take out every other
picture, you have 12 pictures and you would have a snap shot picture affect. A 12 picture
sequence or 12 images a second is not considered real time video. 30 to 15 image s per second
is considered real time and 12 to 1 images a second will reduce the real time affect.
Here is an example to further explain the charts below; for this exercise Lets say we are using a 4
channel DVR and want to record for 7 days. If we look at the chart we have four choices;
1. 8.4 days
2. 7.5 days
3. 7.2 days
4. 9 days
5. 10.8 days
8, 16 CHANNEL DMR.
1. SUPER FINE
2. FINE
3. ENHANCED
4. NORMAL
5. BASIC
26
If you like high quality video, then your choice would be 7.2 with a QUALITY at HYPER and an
IPS set at 1/4. If you would like a better flowing video (closer to real time) then your choice would
be 8.4 with QUALITY at LOW and an IPS set at 1/2.
4 Ch
IPS 1/3
This testing was done with a 250G HDD and data is expressed in days. This data is a rough
estimate to get you close to your time target. Do a test run of your QUALITY and RECORD IN
MOTION settings and review your results.

EXTENDING YOUR RECORDING TIME
We can extend the recording time by introducing a larger hard drive or increasing the RECORD
IN MOTION parameters - 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4… to 1/999. The higher the denominator the longer
period you can record.
NOTE: You are not limited to the tables above; remember increasing the lower number or
denominator will get you 1 day to months of recording time. To start find the nearest date you
would like, for example lets take the 16 channel DVR and I’m looking for 30 days. You would
start by looking at LOW QUALITY and an IPS of 1/6. Take the 6.3 days, divide 30 days by 6.3
and this will give us 4.76. Multiply 4.76 by the denominator 6 and this will give us 28.57, take it to
the nearest whole number. Enter an IPS of 1/29 and LOW QUALITY to get you in the ball park of
30 days. Remember to do a test run.
18. Select how many days you would like and enter the values.
19. Exit by hitting MENU once
and go into SCHEDULE
SETUP.
28
SCHEDULE SETUP
20. Hit the ENTER key.
21. Hit the “–“ minus key.
Your monitor screen should look like this,
showing all M’s indicating motion detection.
22. If not press the MODE key.
29
• MODE: Press MODE to select an editing mode. Continue till you see “MODE: ALL” at
bottom of screen, then press [+] and [-] to select a recording mode M.
23. Continue to press MENU to exit all menus at this time. We are done for now and your
system should be up and running. The letter M will display on your monitor indicating you
are recording in motion. Exit MENU and turn the DVR off for about 20 seconds.
THIS CONCLUDES BASIC SETUP AND YOU SHOULD BE OPERATIONAL. PLEASE
CONTIUNE READING THE USER MANUAL FOR FURTHER OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION
SETTINGS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT OUR TECHNICAL
SUPPORT GROUP AT 800-335-9777.
