H Series Digital video recorder
4 channel D1 H264 DVR
Models: H401 H402 H411

The series CCpix H series DVR is designed especially for security and
surveillance. It has an embedded LINUX operating system which is
inherently stable. It uses the H264 video compression format and
G.711A audio compression. These ensure a high quality image and low
error coding ratio. Strong network services greatly enhance the
network data transmission capacity and remote control capabilities.
The First Part: Basic Operation
1 Basic Installation
1.1 Hard Disk Installation
For the first use，please install the hard disk. HDD installation can
be achieved by removing the cover screws and sliding off the cover.
Screw the HDD into position and connect the two cables from the
printed circuit board to the HDD.
Note: DVR can run and monitor normally without a hard disk, but
will not record and playback.
1.2 Mouse Connection
The H series has two USB ports on the back panel for mouse and flash
drive.
2 Turning on
Plug the lead into the rear of the DVR and connect power supply
to the mains, then switch on the plug socket. A light should illuminate
on the front panel. After the startup sequence you will hear a beep,
and see the default video output setting of a multiple-window (4
channel) output mode.
Note: Restarting the power after off, the DVR will automatically
return to the same state as before power off.
3 Turning off
The H series DVR works at low voltage and is our first DVR to have
clever circuit protection; so can be safely switched off at the mains
without damaging the hard disc.
Please ensure the power adapter is switched off before removing or
re-inserting the power connector.
