2.2 Hard-disk Drive Installation

The DVR is equipped with two compartments

of hard disk drive (for removable model

only). The unit usually comes with one

hard-disk drive installed in the compartment

HD1, which is default- configured as a master.

If you need a second hard-disk drive to be

installed in the compartment HD2 (Mobile),

please contact your distributors or installers

for specific instructions on how to install it.

Please don’t serve yourself before consulting

your installers. If there is only one hard-disk

drive in the mobile compartment, please set

the HD2 USAGE option to REC (please refer

to section 4.5) before proceeding with the

recording function. Serial ATA (SATA)

interface disk drives are designed for easy

installation. It is not necessary to set any

jumpers, terminators, or other settings on this

drive for proper operation. The compatible

hard-disk drives (Table 2.2), which can be

used with the unit, are shown in the tables

below.

Note: The CD-RW model is equipped with a

fixed hard- disk and a CD-RW drive. The unit

usually comes with one hard-disk drive

installed in the compartment HD1, which is

default-configured as a master.

2.4 Updating System Software

Please take the following steps to safely update it.

1. Inserting your SD card into your SD card reader.

2. Plug your card reader's USB connector into your PC.

3. Save the firmware ( the multi.bin file ) into the SD card.

4. After you have checked that the saving is complete, take the SD card out of the card reader.

5. Turn off the DVR.

6. Insert the SD card into the built-in SD slot of the unit.

7. Hold down the Up

and Down 13 buttons

simultaneously, and then turn on the DVR.

8. Keep holding down the buttons until the DVR sounds a tone and display the message “ XXXXXX BYTES READ” Now the DVR is updating the system software, which will take approximately 90 seconds to process.

9. Restart the unit when the device sounds a tone twice and displays the message “PLEASE RESTART” The process is complete. (If you have already followed the procedure 1~9. the unit, however, not being able to power on. Please first check if the SD card you are using is functioning and the file is intact. And then start procedures 1 ~ 9 all over again.)

10. Verify the version of the system software from the

“MAIN MENU -> SYSTEM -> VERSION” by push

down Setup button. (Please refer to section 4.6

VERSION.)

Caution:

1. Before carrying out the updating procedures, please

ensure the SD card is working and the file of system

software is intact.

2. Don’t interrupt the process while the unit is updating

itself, as this will cause the unit to crash.

3. OPERATIONS

This section shows you how to operate and

manage the DVR when it gets in the way.

3.1 Configuring Recording Settings

Recording time will vary depending on the image

size, recording rate, and the capacity of the

hard-disk drives. Generally, the DVR comes with

a built-in hard-disk drive for continuous recording

from one to four weeks under most recording

conditions. The table below shows the possible

recording times based on a 80GB hard-disk drive

at certain refresh rates and the corresponding

image quality. With one or more hard-disk drives

in operation, please calculate the recording time

using the table below in accordance with your

requirements. For an NTSC unit, for example, if

the unit is set to record images with the BEST

quality at a 30 Frame/Sec record rate, normally a

80GB hard-disk drive will be filled in 38.7 hours

(see the gray area in the table). If the total

capacity of 240GB hard-disk drives is in use
