1. All the recording performance testing is done under normal office scene with color
camera input, and the recording performance may differ according to the surveillance
scene:
1) DS-4208HFVI / DS-4216HFVI (Performance of each DSP):
8ch 4CIF real time encoding at 4Mbps/channel
2) DS-4216HCI (Performance of each DSP):
16ch CIF real time encoding at 2Mbps/channel
2. Please kindly refer to the website or contact technical support for the latest updated info
of card performance.
2. Recording performance may be slightly different according to the card number and
hard disk read/write efficiency of the system.

1.1.2 Compression Card Installation
For the DS-40xx series card, users need to connect external audio cable to the PC motherboard
for live audio.
Figure 1-4 Audio cascading cable for DS-40xxHCI/HSI card
The audio cascading cable connects between multiple DS-40xxHCI/HSI cards and feeds live audio
data to each of them (Figure 1-4).
Figure 1-5 Audio cable for DS-40xxHCI/HSI card
The audio cable connects between DS-40xxHCI/HIS and PC motherboard (Figure 1-5).
Card Installation:
1. Shut down the PC and make sure the power-supply is disconnected (Figure 1-6).
Figure 1-6 Unplug PC Power Supply
2. Loosen the screws (Figure 1-7).

Figure 1-12 Fix the card with a screw
7. Repeat step 5 & step 6 till all the cards are installed on the motherboard.
8. Connect audio cables (Figure 1-13) (Only for DS-40xx series card)
Connect audio output of the first HCI/HSI card with the audio input of the second HCI/HSI card;
connect the audio output of the second HCI/HSI card with the audio input of the third HCI/HSI card, the
rest may be deduced by analogy.
Connect the last audio output of HCI/HSI card with the CD_IN interface of PC motherboard or PC
sound card.

Figure 2-3 Cross Line Connection
Connect IP Camera to Internet via broad-band Router
The IP camera can be visited via Internet under this mode. Users need to configure IP Masquerade
(Virtual Server) as Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 DirectoryLine Connection
2.2 Modify IP Camera Configuration
The default IP for HIKVISION IP camera is 192.0.0.64, with 8000 as port number and admin / 12345
as default user name / password. The administrator can create up to 15 operators with separate privilege
settings.
To identify each IP camera, users need to modify each camera’s network parameters (IP, port number,
etc) via the SADP software in the attached CD.
Run SADP software and all the on-line devices will be listed with IP address, port number, serial
number, etc (Figure 2-5).
