3、Installation and Connection

3.1、Installation Precautions

Warning:

Improper replacement of battery may cause an explosion danger, so it is not recommended to replace the battery directly by users. If replacement is needed, replace with the same type or equivalent type of battery only.

NVR is a kind of special monitoring device. Please pay attention to the following matters during installation:

 Do not place the container with liquid (such as water cup) on NVR.

 Install NVR at the position with good ventilation. When a number of devices are

installed, the space between devices shall be more than 2cm.

 Make NVR work in the allowable temperature (-10℃~+55℃) and humidity

(10%~90%) range.

 Make sure to unplug the power line and cut off the power entirely when cleaning the

device.

 The dust on the circuit board in NVR will cause shortcircuit after being exposed to

moisture, so please regularly use the soft brush to dust the circuit board, connector assembly, chassis and chassis fan. If the dirt is difficult to remove, use a diluted neutral detergent to wipe off the dirt and then wipe it dry.

 Do not use the volatile solvents, such as alcohol, benzene or diluent when cleaning

the device; do not use the strong detergent or detergent with abrasiveness which may damage the surface coating.

 Please buy the monitoring hard disk from the formal channels to ensure the quality

and operating requirement of hard disk; our company recommends the Seagate monitoring hard disk.

 Make sure that no danger will be caused by uneven mechanical loads.

 Make sure that there is enough installation space for video and audio cables and the

bending radius of cable shall not be less than 5 times of external diameter of cable.

 Please make sure that NVR is grounded reliably.

Description:

 When you receive this product, please make an inventory according to the “Packing

List of Device” in the packing box. If you find that the articles are damaged or

accessories are missed in the packing box, please contact the dealer timely.

3.2、Hard Disk Installation

Our NVR device does not include the hard disk when leaving the factory and the hard disk needs to be configured and installed according to the recording plan. The disassembly of chassis and installation of hard disk must be performed by the professional personnel.

Precautions:

 Please use the special monitoring hard disk for NVR recommended by the hard disk

manufacturer.

 For the maximum number of installed hard disks of device, please refer to the

description in the hard disk file part.

 Make sure that the power of device has been cut off before installation.

Precautions:

The data provided in the table above are for reference only. There may be deviations

between the estimated value of “file size” in the table and actual values, and any loss caused

by the deviations shall be undertaken by users themselves.

3.2.2、Installation Steps of Hard Disk Installation tools

A cross screwdriver.

Installation diagrams (I):

1、 Unscrew the screws at the back and side of chassis and remove the upper cover.

2、 Connect one end of hard disk data line to the SATA interface of NVR mainboard and

connect the other end to the hard disk.

3、 Connect one end of hard disk power line to the SATA interface of NVR mainboard and

connect the other end to the hard disk.

4、 Fix the hard disk screw at the bottom of NVR chassis, put the upper cover on the chassis

and fix it with screws.

Installation diagrams (II): 1、 Unscrew the screws at the back of chassis, remove the upper cover and fix the hard disk

on the hard disk support of chassis.

2、 Connect one end of hard disk data line to the SATA interface of NVR mainboard and

4、Local Configuration and Operation

4.1、Startup and Shutdown

4.1.1、Startup

Precautions:

 Confirm that the power required by NVR is used before startup and ensure that the

grouding terminal of NVR is good.

 Confirm that the connection between NVR video output and display is good before

startup.

 When the power supply is abnormal, NVR cannot work normally and even NVR

may be damaged, so the regulated power is recommended for power supply.
