The users can replace the hard disk if the existing one reaches its full capacity or becomes problematic.
HDD Replacement Procedure for GRI-K1104A and GRI-K2208A:
1. At the bottom of the NVR are two metal compartments that are slide-in brackets for the HDDs. They are
screwed with one screw each to the NVR main unit (there are also 4 screws, two on each side of the bracket that
hold the HDD in place). Loosen the screw of the HDD compartment/bracket of which you would like to exchange
the HDD (they are marked with "HDD1" and "HDD2").
2. After loosening the screw, you can slide the bracket out of the main unit.
3. Once the HDD bracket is separated from the main unit, remove the 4 screws on top of the HDD bracket to
separate the HDD from the bracket.
4. Install a new HDD and fasten the 4 screws back to the top of the bracket to fix it.
NOTE: When installing the HDD, make sure to install it in the correct direction.
5. Now you can slide the HDD bracket back into the main unit and fasten the screw again.
HDD Replacement Procedure for GRI-K4416A:
1. Remove the 2 screws on both ends of the NVR.
2. Pull the front side of the unit forward to separate it.
8
English

3. Hold the middle of the HDD bracket's handle with the index
finger and pull it forward while sustaining the bracket handle
with your thumb and middle finger as shown in the illustration
below.
4. Once the HDD bracket is separated from the main unit,
remove the 4 screws on both ends of the HDD bracket to
separate the HDD from the bracket.
5. Install a new HDD and fasten the 4 screws back to both ends
of the bracket to fix it.
NOTE: When installing the HDD, make sure to install it in the
correct direction.
6. Push the bracket installed with the new HDD back into the
main unit until it is completely inserted.
7. Assemble the front panel back to the unit.
ATTENTION: When assembling the front panel to the main
unit, make sure the marked part is tightly attached.
8. Fasten the 2 screws on both ends of the main unit.

Basic Layout:
4.3.1. Precautions
To secure the recording stability from an overloaded network traffic, and to protect the NVR from hacking
attempts or DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, only the direct cable connection between camera and NVR is allowed.
Using a hub is only allowed for extending a single channel to an extended transfer range of 100m each. Any
access from an outside PC to the IP camera will be strictly prohibited for the purpose of secure operation. Signal
connection for POS and ATM is planned to be integrated later.
4.4. Connecting To An External Device
4.4.1. Connecting the Monitor
For GRI-K1104A and GRI-K2208A:
This product supports only monitor models featuring 1080p 60Hz HDMI or DVI inputs. Connect the HDMI cable
with the HDMI output port in the bottom rear panel and the HDMI port of the monitor, or use the HDMI-to-DVI
cable to connect the NVR with the DVI port of the monitor.
For GRI-K4416A:
This product supports VGA (D-sub) monitors that support the resolution of 1080p 60Hz HDMI or 1920x1080.
Connect the product with a HDMI cable by connecting it to the HDMI Out port under the unit and the HDMI Input
port of the monitor. Or use a HDMI-to-DVI cable for connecting the product’s HDMI port and the monitor’s DVI
port. You can use a VGA (D-sub) cable to connect this product and the VGA port of the monitor.
Output for two monitors at the same time is not supported. You can either connect the HDMI or the VGA output to
one single monitor.
4.4.2. Power Connection
Guidelines for this connection:
- Make the connection when the power is not applied yet.
- Arrange the cables and be careful not to peel off the cable coating.
- Do not place the power cord under a carpet or rug. The power cord is usually earth-grounded. However, even if
it is not earth-grounded, do never modify it on your own for earth-grounding.
10
English

- Do not insert multiple devices into a single power socket. Otherwise, it may cause a power overload.
- For a stable power supply, this product provides two separate adapters and two corresponding AC cords by
factory default. Make sure all cables are connected properly.
- Make sure the power connector and the cable are connected tightly and are not loose.
Power connection for GRI-K1104A and GRI-K2208A:
Two adaptors are provided: one for NVR operation (DC 12V), and the other for PoE (Power Over Ethernet, 48V).
NVR power connection :
Plug the provided DC 12V adapter in the rear power port of the NVR.
PoE Switching hub power connection :
Plug the provided DC 48V adapter in the rear power port of the NVR. When done, attach the adaptor cable clip to
the rear panel and insert the cable.
Power connection for GRI-K4416A:
Apply power to the NVR main unit, and connect the provided DC 48V power supply adaptor to the External PoE Hub
(Power Over Ethernet, for 16-channel models).
NVR power connection:
Connect the provided power cord to the power inlet.
External PoE Hub power connection:
Plug the provided DC 48V adaptor in the rear power port of the Hub.
11
English

4.4.3. Connecting the Camera
Guidelines for this connection:
- If the IP camera provides the Alarm I/O port or Audio I/O port, you can make the alarm or audio connection. For
more details, please refer to the user manual of the IP camera.
- The Ethernet connection is effective within 100 meters in distance. Beyond that, you may encounter a data loss
or failure to connect to the camera. If you need to make a cable connection that is longer than 100 meters, please
use a separate PoE extender for cable extension.
- The total power consumption of the IP cameras should not exceed the rated power capacity of the 48V PoE
adaptor (Main Unit: 95W, External PoE Hub: 72W)*. If it exceeds the nominal power capacity, the video may not be
played properly or no video will be displayed at all. If this is the case, use a separate (additional) power source for
supplying power to the cameras.
*Only for the 16Ch NVR model GRI-K4416A.
- Per channel the NVR max. supplies 15W. If a camera requires more power, please use an external power supply
for this camera.
- For stable operation, a dedicated communication line is established for IP cameras in the same network. This is
why network router or hub connection is not allowed.
You can connect an IP camera with PoE connection to the rear RJ45 port ([CAM1]~[CAM8]) using the CAT5
10/100Mb Ethernet cable without a separate power source.
12
English

Additional camera connection for GRI-K4416A:
Connect IP cameras to the [CAM9] ~ [CAM16] ports of the hub, and connect the [LAN (DOWNLINK)] port and the
hub’s [NVR] port with an Ethernet cable to establish the connections for the channels/cameras 9~16.
If the distance between the NVR and IP camera is more than 100m:
You may extend the transfer range by connecting a switching hub or PoE device between the Ethernet port of the
NVR and of the IP camera if the desired transfer distance is longer than 100m.
Connecting cameras directly to a general switching hub requires additional connection of the camera to a separate
power supply. Aswitching hub for extending the transfer range of a single channel should be connected to one
camera only.
13
English
