1. Use brackets for rack mounting.
2. Ensure there is ample room for audio and video cables.
3. When installing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its diameter.
4. Connectboth thealarm and RS-485 cable.
5. Allow at least 2cm (~0.75in) of space between racks mounted devices.
6. Ensure the NVR is grounded.
7. Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 ºC ~ 55 ºC, 14ºF ~ 131ºF.
8. Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% ~ 90%.
Hard Disk Installation
Before installing a hard disk drive (HDD), please make sure the power is disconnected from the NVR. A factory
recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.
1. Use the screws to install HDD to its mounting bracket.
2. Press the latches on both sides of the front panel of NVR chassis to open it.
3. Inser the HDD bracket to the chassis along the slot unitl it has fully seated i nto pos ition.

Connections
Connecting to Alarm Input/Output Device
The alarm input/output interface of the NVR is shown below:
The alarm input is an open/close relay. If the input is not an open/closed relay, follow the connection diagram below:

For DC load, JP4 can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely. If the interface is connected to an AC load, JP4 should be left
open. Use an external relay for safety (as show n in the figure above).
Note: An external relay is needed to prevent electric shock when connecting to an AC load.
Alarm Connections:
The device provides the green mating plugs for alarminput and alarm output connectors. Operate the following steps:
1. Remove the green mating plugfrom the ALARM IN or ALARM OUT connector.
2. Use the screwdriver to loosen the screw in the plug and then place the wire to the top o f screw and finally tighten the screw
to secure the wires.
3. Insert the plug to its mating slot.
