3Installation and Connections
Note: All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electric
safety rules.
3.1 Check Unpacked DVR
When you receive the DVR from the forwarding agent, please check whether there is any visible
damage. The protective materials used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes
during transportation. Then you can open the boxto check the accessories.
Please check the items in accordance with the list. Finally you can remove the protective film of the DVR.
3.2 About Front Panel and Rear Panel
The model label in the front panel is very important; please check according to your purchase order.
The label in the rear panel is very important too. Usually we need you to represent the serial number
when we provide the serviceafter sales.
3.3 HDD Installation
Important
Shut down the device and then unplug the power cable before you open the case to
replace the HDD!
All figures listed below for reference only!
You can refer to the Appendixfor recommended HDD brand. Please use HDD of 7200rpm or higher.
Please follow the instructions belowto install hard disk.
The series DVR has one SATA HDD.
①Loosen the screws of the upper
cover and side panel. ②Fix four screws in the HDD (Turn
just three rounds). ③Place the HDD in accordance with the four holes in the bottom.

17
④Turn the device upside down and
then turn the screws in firmly. ⑤Fix the HDD firmly.⑥Connect the HDD cable and power cable.
⑦Put the cover in accordance with the
clip and then place the upper cover
back.
⑧Secure the screws in the rear panel
and theside panel.
Important:
You can connect the HDD data cable and the power cable first and then fix the HDD in the device.
Please pay attention to the front cover. It adopts the vertical sliding design. You need to push the
clip first and then put down.
3.4 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.
3.5 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
3.5.1 Connecting Video Input
The videoinput interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0VBP- P ，
B75Ω.）
The video signal should comply with your national standards.
The input video signal shall have high SNR, lowdistortion; lowinterference, natural color and suitable
lightness.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal:
The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable, explosive
substances and etc.
The camera and the DVR should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of the
camera.

18
Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission lineBTTTB
Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according tothe
transmission distance.
If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video compensation
devices or use opticalfiber to ensure video quality.
You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially the high
tension current.
Keep connection lugs in well contactBTTTB
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint, lap
welding and oxidation.BTTTB
3.5.2 Connecting Video Output
Video output includes a VGA output and HDMI output. System supports VGA
and HDMI
output at the same time.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following points:
To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce the
working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The lowquality TV may
result in device damage.
3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio
3.6.1 Audio Input
These series products audio input port adopt BNC port.
Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up.
Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose contact and
it shall be away from high tension current.
3.6.2 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC or RCA). It can directly connect to
low impedance earphone, active sound boxor amplifier-drive audio output device.
If the sound boxand the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In this
case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
Reduce the volume of the sound box.
Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improveacoustics
environment.
Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

19
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.
3. Please followthe instructions to configure a camera to enable each PTZ device on the DVR.
3.8 Other Interfaces
There are still other interfaces on the DVR, such as USB port.
