*This document assumes that you operate the mouse with your right hand.
To perform operations on menus by using a mouse, connect the mouse to the USB interface of the
10
device.
NVRUserManual
Description of mouse functions
When you have not logged in to the system, a password text box is displayed after
you click on the screen.
A menu is displayed when you click a menu icon.
This action allows you to perform operations instructed on the controls.
This action allows you to change the status of a checkbox or a motion detection
area.
Click
Double‐click
Right‐click
A drop‐down list is displayed when you click a combo box.
In a text box, you can select an input method, for example, numeric input, character
input, uppercase/lowercase English letter input, or Chinese input. You can type a
character by clicking it on the panel. ← indicates a backspace, and _ indicates a
space. In an edit box, ← indicates the input of a space, and _ indicates the deletion
of the character before the cursor. In a numeric box, ← indicates zeroing out, and _
indicates the deletion of the last digit. You can type only digits ﴾for example, the
standby time in common setting﴿ in a numeric box. You can type any characters ﴾for
example, a channel name﴿ in an edit box.
This action allows you to perform special operations of controls. For example, you
can double‐click an option in a record file list to play back the record.
In multi‐screen mode, when you double‐click a specific screen, the screen is
displayed in full‐screen mode. When you double‐click the screen again, it returns to
the multi‐screen mode.
When you right‐click the screen during real‐time surveillance, a shortcut menu is
displayed, providing the multi‐screen mode, image color, record search, manual
recording, alarm input, alarm output, and main menu options. The multi‐screen
mode is relevant with the number of channels on the device. For example, a
four‐channel device displays only a single screen or four screens. The image color
applies to the channel that the cursor indicates. In multi‐screen mode, the system
automatically switches to the single screen of the corresponding channel before
the setting of the color image.
Scroll
Move
Drag
This action allows you to exit the current menu without saving the settings.
This action allows you to increase or decrease the number in a numeric box.
This action allows you to switch between options in a combo box.
This action allows you to page up and page down in a list box.
You can select a control or a component of a control in the current coordinates and
move it by using the mouse.
This action allows you to select motion detection areas, area settings, and area
coverage.

l Keep the label on the rear panel intact. It is required for after‐sales services. Do not tear down or
discard the label. Otherwise, no warranty service will be provided. When you call after‐sales
personnel of the company, provide the serial number of the product.
Internal Check
Check for damage and scratches. Check whether data cables, power cables, and fan power supplies are
connected to the main board on the front panel properly.
Precautions ﴾Contact us if you have any doubt﴿
1. After unpacking, ensure that the materials are consistent with the packing list.
2. Check the voltage, avoiding device damage caused by improper voltage.
3. Check the installation environment. Do not use the device in damp or high‐temperature environment.
Ensure proper ventilation and keep the air vents unblocked. Lay the device horizontally. Do not install
the device in environment with sharp vibration.
2.2 Hard Disk Installation
Check whether hard disks are installed when you install the device for the first time. The NVR supports
13
NVRUserManual
TB‐level hard disks. Use recommended models of hard disks ﴾7200 rpm or above high‐speed hard disks﴿
and SATA disk cables delivered with the device.
l VSR0402/VSR0804
To install a hard disk on the VSR0402, perform the following operations:
1. Press the button at the bottom of a disk slot to eject the disk slot.
2. Pull the disk slot out of the shelf, install a hard disk in the disk slot, and fix the hard disk using two
screws.
3. Insert the disk slot in the shelf. If a sound is generated, the disk slot is inserted properly.
l HVR0402/HVR0804
14
NVRUserManual
1. Unscrew the screws, and remove the cover.
2. Unscrew the hard disk slot screws, and take out the hard disk slot from the chassis.
