1. Introduction
1.1 Safety Information
•Before setting up the DVR, carefully read all the documentation that came with your package.
•To prevent fire and shock hazard, never expose the DVR to rain or moisture.
•If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.
•Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables
are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately
•The DVR should be operated only by the type of power source indicated on the label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home or office, consult your dealer or the
local power company

1.3 Hard disk installation
Before the first use，please install the hard disk.
Before you can record onto your HDD it should be formatted by the DVR system,
because standard PC formatting is not compatible. The format process can take several
minutes.
Your HDD should be installed inside the DVR. Please connect the(Hard Disk (HDD) in the following
way. Screw the HDD into the HDD brackets or DVR base. All necessary cables are included in the
package with the DVR. Use the instructions that came with the hard drive for exact wiring and

You can use a mouse to operate the DVR as well. The mouse operates just like a mouse on a
Windows PC. Please connect the mouse tone of the USB connectors (#5) in the back panel and
please note that you can hot-plug the mouse.
Right clicking
In live display mode, right clicking will either display or hide the tool bar. In main menu or sub menu mode, right clicking will exit current menu.
Note: the settings will not be saved after right clicking.
Left clicking
When in menu unlock mode in the tool bar left click on the SYSTEM SETTINGS icon to enter into the main menu.
After entering the main menu, left clicking will enter sub menus.
On [detail files] menu mode, left clicking will playback one recording file.

1.8 Audio and Video Input/Output connections
1.8.1 Video input connections
The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC
BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω).
The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the high signal to noise

7
ratio, low aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the
appropriate brightness.
Make sure the video signal stable and in good condition
The video should be installed in the appropriate location where is away from backlighting and low
illumination or adopts the better backlighting and low illumination compensation.
The ground and power supply of the video and the DVR should be shared and stable.
Make sure the transmission line stable and in good condition
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the
transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair,
video compensation equipment and transmit by fiber to insure the signal quality.
The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other
equipments signal lines. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.
Make sure the connection stable and in good condition
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected in good condition which avoid false and
joint welding and oxidation.
1.8.2 Video output connections and options
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω) and VGA output(selective
configuration).
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.
1, Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
2, Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3, Stay away from the electro-magnetic Interference.
TV is not a good replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control
the power supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The creepage of
low quality TV can lead to the damage of other equipments.
1.8.3 Audio signal input
Audio port is RCA connection.
The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electro magnetic Interference and
connected in good condition which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage
current should be avoided especially.
1.8.4 Audio signal output
Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ(BNC) which

8
can connect the low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipments
through power amplifier. If the sound box and the tone arm can not be isolated, howling
phenomena is often existed. There are some methods to deal with the above phenomena.
1. Adopt better directional tone arm.
2. Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling
phenomena.
3. Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.
4. Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.
