2 Installation and Connections
Note: All the installation and operations here should conform to your local
electric safety rules.
2.1 Check Unpacked DVR
When you receive the DVR from the shipping agency, please check whether there is
any visible damage to the DVR appearance. The protective materials used for the
package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation. Then
you can open the box to check the accessories.
Please check the items in accordance with the list on the warranty card. Finally you

2.2 HDD Installation
2.2.1 Choose HDDs
We recommend Seagate HDD of 7200rpm or higher.
2.2.2 Calculate HDD Size
This series have no limit to HDD capacity. You can use 120G-750G HDD to
guarantee higher stability.
The formula of total HDD size is:
Total Capacity (MB) = Camera Amount * Recording Hours * HDD Usage Per Hour
(M/h)
H.264 compression is ideal for standalone DVRs. It can save more than 30% HDD
capacity than MPEG4. When you calculate the total HD capacity, you should
estimate the average HDD capacity per hour for each channel.
For example, for a 4-ch DVR, the average capacity of HDD usage per hour per
channel is 200M/h. Now if you hope the DVR can record the video 12 hours each
day for 30 days, the total capacity of HDDs needed is: 4 channels * 30 days * 12
hours * 200 M/h = 288G. So you need to install one 300G HDD or 2 160G HDDs.
2.2.3 HDD Installation
Data ribbons, fastening screws and smart HDD shelf design are already provided in
the accessories.
Notes: please pay attention to HDD jumper:
z If you just need to install one HDD, you can set the HDD to MASTER.
z If you install two HDDs to one IDE port, you need to set the farther one as
MASTER and the other as SLAVE. Please don’t set HDD as CS Enable or Cap
Limit.
Please follow the instructions below to install HDD.
21
1. Loosen the screws. 2. Remove the unit cover.
3. Dismantle the HDD bracket. 4. Install the first HDD. Note the HDD is placed
upside down. Please make sure bracket is in
correct position.
5.
Install the second HDD on the bracket. 6. Fix the HDD bracket into the internal unit.

Note:
2.3 CD/DVD Burner Installation
For built-in burner, you can dismantle front plate to install CD burner. This built-in
burner should be set as MASTER.
For USB burners, you need to install USB series burner.
This series DVR is compatible with various burner brands popular in today’s market.
You can consult our local technical support or visit our website for more information.

2.4 Desktop and Rack Mounting
2.4.1 Desktop Mounting
To prevent surface damage, please make sure that the rubber feet are securely
installed on the four corners of the bottom of the unit.
Position the unit to allow for cable and power cord clearance at the rear of the unit.
Be sure that the air flow around the unit is not obstructed.
2.4.2 Rack Mounting
The DVR occupies two rack units of vertical rack space.
The hardware necessary to mount the DVR into a rack is supplied with the unit.
Install the cabinet in ventilated place. Avoid extreme heat, humid or dusty conditions.
You can use a soft dry brush to clean opening outlet, cooling fan and etc regularly.
2.5 Connecting Power Supply
Please check input voltage and device power button match or not.
We recommend you use UPS to guarantee steady operation, DVR life span, and
other peripheral equipments operation such as cameras.
2.6 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
2.6.1 Connecting Video Input
The DVR automatically detects the video standard (PAL or NTSC) whenever you
connect a video input. It accepts color, black-and-white and analog video.
NOTE:
z Enabling line lock on cameras may cause video distortion. There may be noise in
the camera’s power source. If video from one or more cameras is distorted, we
recommend you disable line lock on the camera as your first troubleshooting step.
z If a video distribution amplifier is installed between the video source and the DVR,
do not set the output video level above 1 Vp-p.
To connect each video input:
1. Connect a coaxial cable to the camera or other analog video source.
2. Connect the coaxial cable to the video in connector on the rear panel.
Please refer to Figure 2-1 for more information.
NOTE:
You need to use a BNC installation tool to connect coaxial cables to the rear panel.
23
Figure 2-1
2.6.2 Connecting Video Output
This section provides information about physically connecting video display devices
to the DVR. See Figure 2-2.
If you connect the DVR with a TV monitor or VGA monitor, the DVR can automatically
detects the monitor type. And without any output device, by default, the DVR is
configured to use a TV monitor. In this case, if your application requires a VGA
monitor, you have to press the button “Fn” or Shift on the front panel to switch.
NOTE:
Video output 1 and VGA can’t display at the same time. But Video output 2 can
display properly with Video Output 1 or VGA.

2.7 Connecting Audio Input & Audio Output, Alarm Input &Alarm Output,
RS232/RS485 and Other Interfaces
ATM04 has 3-ch audio input, 1-ch audio output, 4-ch alarm input and 3-ch alarm
output.
2.7.1 Audio Input/Audio Output
The DVR encodes audio and video signals simultaneously, which lets you control
audio at the monitored location.
To set up audio:
1. Make sure your audio input device matches the RCA input level. If the device and
RCA input levels do not match, audio distortion problems may occur.
2. Make sure the audio connector is wired as follows:
3. Connect a line input device or pre-amplified microphone to the audio connector for
the video channel on the rear panel.
Please refer to Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3
2.7.2 Alarm Input and Relay Output
The DVR offers 4-ch alarm input for external signaling devices, such as door contacts
or motion detectors. Each alarm input can be either normally open or normally closed.
Once configured, an alarm input can invoke many different activities, including
triggering a relay device, sending an alert to a security office or storing pre-alarm
video to the DVR.
2.7.3 Alarm Input
You should check your alarm input mode is grounding alarm input or not.
For this series DVR, grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
If you need to connect two units or one DVR and other device, please use relay to
separate them.
Please refer to Figure 2-4 for more information.
25
Figure 2-4
2.7.4 Alarm Output
Do not connect alarm output port directly with high power load (no more than 1 A) in
case of heavy current.
You can use the co-contactor to realize the connection between the alarm output port
and the load.
Please refer to Figure 2-5 for more information.
2.7.5 Alarm Input and Output Details
You can refer to the following sheet and Figure 2-6 for alarm input and output
information.

2.8 RS232
You can connect the DVR with POS or Keyboard through RS232.
With POS system, the DVR can communicate through RS232 and network. For the
POS system, the DVR can integrate the text content and even search the record
through the info.
The series DVR also support NKB operation. You can operate the DVR from the
keyboard controls instead of using the control pad on the front panel of the unit.
To connect a NKB keyboard to the DVR:
1. Assemble the KBD keyboard according to the instructions in its accompanying
installation manual.
2. Connect the KBD keyboard into one of the RS232 ports on the DVR or through
network.
2.9 RS485
When the DVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up
the coaxial cable to the PTZ device. RS485 is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ
device can’t return any data to the unit. To enable the operation, connect the PTZ
device to the RS485(A,B) input on the DVR. Since RS485 is disabled by default for
each camera, you must enable the PTZ settings first. This series DVRs support
multiple protocols such as Pelco-D, Pelco-P.
To connect PTZ devices to the DVR:
1. Connect RS485 A,B on the DVR rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the
camera.
29
3. Follow the instructions for configuring a camera to enable each PTZ device on the
DVR.
2.10 Other Interfaces
There are still other interfaces on the DVR, such as USB ports. You can refer to
the Figure 2-10 for more information.
