8 or 16 pulses if the wheel goes one round and you need to calculate the number of the pulse that the speed sensor will generate if the car runs for one kilometer. Then set the number to “Pulse No.”.
6) While in a real application, it’s not easy to pulse number by the calculation on the paper. In this case, you can choose the menu item “10 Vehicle Setup”, then set the “Pulse No.” to be “0”. Then you drive the car for one kilometer. The number in the “Pulse No.” will increase as you are driving. The number showed in the “Pulse
No.” once you get to one kilometer would be the number you need.
6.8 Manage the power
6.8.1, Use ignition switch to turn on/off the DVR system

10. Trouble Shooting.
1. Q : After connecting the DVR power, no video output, No.1 and No.2 indicators lights on panel flashing alternately.
A: The No.1 and No.2 indicator light is “Power” and “Run” . If the 2 indicators lights are flashing alternatively , the DVR missed the ignition signal, please check if the yellow line of the input power lines has connected with the power positive level, or if it’s the same as the setting of the effective electrical level in menu settings. (The factory default settings set the high level effective,that is, it is effective when the yellow ignition signal line is connecting with the power positive level .)
2. Q: As SD cards’ capacity limited, how to make the videos’ time expand to meet the requirements of the customers?
A: Reduce the video frame rate, video quality and record by Composite Mode.
1. Set the Channel Mode in the "Video Settings" menu to Composite Record (see 3.5);
2, Enter the "Video Parameters settings" menu, select a lower vide o quality, while reduce the frame rate to 12 frames / sec or less. Generally, it can expand the recording time to 4 to 10 times longer or more by using the above method.
3. Q: when using the DVR, ScreenTip appears "read only error ".
A: Please check if the SD card is write-protected, if so, please move the picks to the non - write protected.
4. Q: What is a high level, what is low level?
A: Generally, there are two electrical levels in the car, the power and the ground. Automotiv e power voltage with 12V and 24V, we generally call it high level, not the specific voltage value. Ground of Vehicle is the ref erence level, accurately is battery negative electrode. We generally call it low level. For cars with negative switch control (the main switch cut off the connection of the battery cathode and car chassis ground), the chassis ground connects to the battery anode through a certain resistance, the chassis ground is not a reference ground anymore. Please see the Appendix in the back, including the potential analysis diagram against cars with negative switch control.
5. Q: Respectively, what’s the voltage reference range of the high and low level in the DVR?
A: The voltage range of low level is DC 0V~3V, the high level is DC6V~32V.
6. Q: Why doesn't the DVR remote control work?
A: Please make sure the battery in the remote control is still good, or try to change a new battery . And make sure aiming the remote control at infrared receptor window on the front panel of DVR.
7. Q: SD cards or hard drives are OK, but the video recording doesn't work, what should I do?
A: Please make sure if the default setting of Record Mode is changed from "Automatic" to" Off ", and whether to modify the DVR to scheduled record mode and the current time is not within the
www.supercircuits.com MDVR21SD_RM
59
Page 60
time period you set.
8. Q: Do your SD Card DVR support the capacity of 64G and above SDXC card?
A: The DVR support the capacities of 64G and above SDXC cards, but currently, DVR doesn’t support for ExFA T file system completely , we suggest that you format the SDXC card to F A T32 file system under Windows system before using. You can also download free version “Partition Manager” or other partition software from the Internet, which can make the process faster and simpler.
9. Q: when the SD card inserted the DVR for recording, live images or playback visual will come to a frequent halt.
A: Please make sure that if your SD card or USB’s writing speed is enough. When the recording medium’s writing speed is not e nough, it w ill af f ect the continuit y of liv e vi deo and the r eal-time recorded video. Generally the SD card DVR can directly support two kinds of media:
1). SD card. With good writing speed and quality, there are Kingston, T ranscent etc. brands on the market, It is more reliable for its conventional speed values of Class x and op eration, it will not pause even with the highest record data rate on this machine.

Composite Recording Mode, that is, to composite multiple front-end camera images into a high - definition image (such as 1280x1024), and then compress the image w ith video encoder, at one point in time there has been only 1 high - definition AVI files recorded on SD card or USB disk.
Recording by Separate Mode can extr act AVI file of each camera separately, but we can get recorded file of combination image with 4 cameras by Composite Mode.
The default recording mode of the SD DVR is the Composite recording Mode, its advantages are
high-definition, storage space saving and convenient playing.

Generally speaking, recording time not only relates with picture quality, frame rate, but also relates with frequency of scenery changing in front of the camera lens. For some static image, the real recording time will be considerably longer than the calculated time.
19. Q: Why can't I use VLC or other software to see the real time image through the network?
A: The SD DVR turns off the network function by default, if y ou need network, please set the "Network" to "on" in the "Record - Video Parameters ".

it will occur when the DVR settings is P AL system, while the camer a is NT SC system. Conv ersely, if the DVR is set with NTSC system, scrolled fault images also occur when connecting a camera with PAL system.

A: Press the <left> or <right> keys on the remote control to switch other channels to retrieve record f iles. On the top right of the screen will display which channel the current f ile belongs to.
22. Q: what is “Power OFF Delay”?
A: Users who need to install DVR often want the DVR to record the images inside and outside the car for a while after the driver turn the engine off. That is, DVR cannot be turned off after engine is shutdown, it should be off after recor d continuously for the specified period of time. This time is called “Power OFF Delay” time, such as 30 seconds. Y ou can set the time you need on "Car Settings – Power Off Delay ".
When the users who need “Power OFF Delay” function, the positive lev el of the DVR and the ground should be connected directly (through the fuse) to the cathode and anode of the car battery, at the same time attach car ignition signal line to the ACC of the car.
Of course, the time of “Power OFF Delay” cannot be set too long, because after the engine shutdown, mobile DVR entirely depend on the power of the car battery to work, we should prevent the vehicle can’t start correctly next time if the mobile DVR drained the energy of the car battery.
23. Q: Why does DVR keep alarm when I set the motion detection, even if the image moving is not obvious?
A: First, please make sure that if the sensitivity settings of the motion detection are correct, sensitivity is divided into 9 levels. The ninth level is the highest sensitivity; the f irst level is the lowest sensitivity.
Second, make sure that if your camera system (PAL system or NTSC system) match the stroboscopic lighting devices such as fluorescent lights. PAL system is 50Hz system, NTSC system is 60Hz system, and there are also two kinds of working frequency of power grid: 50Hz and 60Hz. if a PAL camera of 50Hz work under the fluorescent lights driven by the power grid of 60HZ, images will appear frequency difference flashing of 10Hz, this will led system to think scenery brightness is changing continuously, and motion detection alarm is based on the changes of scenery brightness to work, this will triggered motion detection alarm. Conversely, a false alarm will also occur when a camera of 60Hz works under the fluorescent lights driven by the pow er grid of 50HZ.
