FEATURES

Record Over 1,000 Hours of Video with H.264 Compression

The 500GB hard drive is optimized for 24/7 surveillance and uses cutting edge H.264 compression to record over 1,000 hours of continuous video1. We only use hard drives that are specically designed for high capacity writing, which ensures long product life and accurate video data storage. H.264 compression provides an amazing picture while saving almost 50% on storage space versus DVRs with MPEG-4 compression.

Coaching iMenu

As you scroll through dierent settings, helpful information bubbles will pop up to assist you. Learn what each setting means so that you can congure the system to your needs eectively. This user-friendly feature makes it easy to setup and use your DVR.

Stay Notied with Email Alerts

This system keeps you notied of events occurring in your monitoring location. You can set the unit to automatically send alerts to your email address whenever motion is detected or cameras lose power.

View Video Online with No Service Fees

(Supports DDNS)

Regardless of where you are in the world, you can view your DVR’s live or recorded video footage on any Internet accessible computer3 with Internet Explorer. If you have a business, take comfort in knowing what is happening there from home or abroad whenever you want.

Smart Phone Compatible

The CV301-8CH is compatible with BlackBerry’s, Windows Mobile, Symbian operating systems and iPhones.

This DVR allows you to utilize 3G technology, which is specically designed to transmit your video and audio at higher speeds. Your DVR can also be set up to email your hand-held whenever specic activity occurs, such as motion detection.

24/7 Lifetime Live Customer Support

Assistance is available whenever you need it. Simply visit www.SVAT.com for video networking guides, simple tips on how to protect your property, and instructional videos on topics such as camera placement. Our customer support team can be reached by phone 24/7, or by email and live web chat services so that you will always have access to an expert.

8 Professional Grade Weatherproof Cameras

Eight high resolution color cameras, made with Sharp image sensors

, provide you with a clear and consistent picture at 420 TV lines of resolution. They allow you to better distinguish facial features, which can help in the positive identication of individuals. The cameras can be used indoors and outdoors. Each one is built with professional grade aluminum housing and a sunshade to help prevent glare, deterioration and rusting6

See in the Dark with Automatic Night Vision

The cameras come equipped with night vision, allowing you to see any monitored area (up to 15ft away

) in total darkness. Each camera has 12 infrared LEDs that activate automatically when it becomes dark and deactivate during the day to save energy. You will always be able to see what is happening in your yard or at your business after-hours.

Multiple Easy Backup Options

You have several ways to backup your important video footage. A built-in USB port gives you the option of backing up and transferring your video footage to a USB ash drive or external USB hard drive.8 You can then connect to an external CD/DVD writer and burn your footage to a disc.

FEATURES

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

For more optional accessories, please see the back of the manual or visit: www.SVAT.com

Advanced Motion Activated Recording

You have the option to record video only when motion is detected and will save you time and conserve hard drive space. You can even set individual cameras to detect motion while the others continuously record. Advanced motion detection settings ensure that false alarms are not triggered—the easy motion detection “mask” allows you to block out areas with constant movement, such as roads or blowing trees so that only suspicious activity is recorded.

Included Mouse and Remote

Navigate the on-screen menu with ease using the included USB mouse. You can also go through the iMenu using the convenient IR remote control.

Password Protection

Set a password and stop unauthorized users from viewing your live or recorded footage and prevent them from being able to access and change the DVR settings or halt recording.

24/7 Scheduled Recording

You can fully customize a weekly recording schedule. Choose which days of the week and hours of the day you want to continuously record, motion record, alarm record, or not record at all. Each camera can be scheduled with dierent settings.

Customize Your Camera Display

Watch an individual camera in full screen, 4 cameras in a quad screen, or an 8 channel split screen to view all of your cameras. Zoom mode allows you to enlarge a portion of the camera’s view to get a closer look, and Sequence mode cycles through all camera views at preset interval times.

Search by Date, Time, or Event

Simply choose the desired date and time range, and the requested video clips will appear. Clips are also labeled by event, which makes it easy to nd footage that was captured by motion detection.

1. Recording capacity may vary based on recording resolution and quality, lighting conditions and movement in the scene. Based on a 500GB hard

drive, using lowest quality settings.

BASIC SETUP

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INSTALLATION

• The camera should be installed between 8 and 13ft above the area to be monitored

• Before screwing in the mount for the camera ensure there are no obstructions in the camera’s view

• Place cameras in the most strategic places where they can provide detailed, recorded video of every visitor.

• Having the camera in the open for people to see can help deter criminals

• To cover large, dark areas such as backyards, garages, and driveways, place cameras in strategic locations, such as on the roof or deck, this way, less cameras are needed to cover an area

• Ensure that the sunshade is positioned to avoid glare and be sure to position camera away from direct sunlight or other light sources

• For best results, the light in front of the camera should be about the same brightness as the light around the area or object being monitored

• Decide whether the camera will be wall-mounted, ceiling mounted or sit on a desk/table top. If you are mounting the camera on a wall or ceiling, use the included mounting hardware. We recommend that the mounting bracket is secured using the included screws for all installations

• Each camera comes with 60ft of video/power wire please make sure that you mount the cameras no more than 60ft from the DVR. If longer wiring distance is required, 60ft extensions can be purchased (CVW62 ) from your local re-seller or at www.SVAT.com

• We recommend using a surge protected power bar to protect the camera’s internal circuitry

MOUNTING THE CAMERAS

1. Decide if the camera will be wall-mounted or sit on a desk/tabletop. The camera can be adjusted for either mounting scenario by rotating it to the required position.

2. Screw the mounting bracket into the camera’s mounting hole, turning it clockwise.

3. Mount the camera in the desired location no more than 60 ft from the DVR unless you have purchased additional wiring. You may mount the cameras on a wall, ceiling or desk.

4. Ensure that the cameras are strongly secured into the wall.

5. Adjust cameras to the desired viewing angles.

6. For additional help on mounting the cameras, please see the drilling template, located at the back of the manual.

Type:

Determines how the DVR will acquire an IP address; DHCP, Static or PPPoE.

DHCP:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) address is the most common setup for home or oce networks. This allows the DVR to automatically receive an IP address from the router. By default the IP mode will be set to DHCP and, in most situations this is acceptable.

Static IP:

Static IP addresses are manually assigned by an administrator. A static IP address would be benecial if your internal IP address changes often. Most home or oce networks today do not use static IP addresses. If you are unsure of whether you need a static or dynamic IP address, please contact your network administrator.

PPPoE:

Used for DSL services where individuals connect to a DSL modem. It is recommended to store the PPPoE information in the router, if the PPPoE information is not stored in the router, the DSL modem will need to be congured. If you are using a PPPoE connection, contact your Internet Service Provider for your PPPoE name and password.

To adjust the type of IP Mode you are using:

IF YOU CANNOT CONNECT

If the remote viewing does NOT connect it could be due to one of the following issues:

• Make sure the browser is Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and is on a Windows PC

• Make sure you forwarded both port 80 AND 9000 for TCP and UDP

• Make sure you properly installed of the controls (selected the yellow pop-up bar and ran all controls)

• Check all your network connections and go through the above steps again to make sure a conguration

error was not made. You may have to congure PPPoE settings to match the settings provided to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Consult your ISP for more information on your PPPoE settings

• Port forwarding is not set up correctly. Re-review the instructions on www.SVAT.com/network and/or www.

portforward.com to check if you set port forwarding up correctly

• A pop-up blocker is preventing the ActiveX controls from prompting you to install

• Your router is blocking your computer from using the external IP address from the same network as the DVR.

Try connecting to the External IP Address from a computer that is not connected to the same network

• Port 80 is being blocked by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Try changing the HTTP port to 2000. Port

forwarding will need to be setup for the new port

• A DSL modem is preventing the connection because it is on a dierent sub-network. Contact your Internet

service provider to assist with bridging the modem and router together

Note: SVAT technical support cannot troubleshoot modems, since changing these settings can

potentially render your modem inoperable. Bridging or any other modications to the modem

will need to be completed by the Internet service provider.
