3.2 Hard-Disk Drive Installation
The DVR is equipped with two compartments of hard-disk drive. The unit usually comes with one
hard-disk drive installed in the compartment HD1, which is default-configured as a master. If you need
a second hard-disk drive to be installed in the compartment HD2 (Mobile), please contact your
distributors or installers for specific instructions on how to install it. Please don’t serve yourself before
consulting your installers. If there is only one hard-disk drive in the mobile compartment, please set the
HD2 USAGE option to REC (refer to section 5.5) before proceeding with the recording function. The
jumper-settings arrangement of installed hard-disk drives for the system (Table 3.2 A.) is shown in the
tables below.

3.4 Updating System Software
If the system software of the 4CH DVR needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to safely
update it.
Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is working
and the file of system software is intact.
1. Turn off the IV-400CD-SN.
2. Insert the SD card into the built-in SD slot of the unit.
3. Hold down the Up and Down buttons simultaneously, and then turn the unit on.
4. Keep holding the buttons down until the IV-400CD-SN sounds a tone and displays the message
“ XXXXXX BYTES READ”. Now the IV-400CD-SN is updating the system software, which will take
approximately 90 seconds to process.
5. Restart the unit by turning the POWER button off, upon which the device sounds a tone twice and
displays the message “ PLEASE RESTART”. Then turn on the POWER button again. The process
is complete.
(If you have already followed procedures 1~5, and the unit is still unable to switch on, please first
check if the SD card you are using is functioning and the file is intact. And then repeat procedures 1
~ 5 again.)
6. Verify the version of the system software. (Please refer to section 5.6 VERSION.)

4. BASIC OPERATIONS
This section shows you how to operate and manage the DVR when it gets in the way.
4.1 Configuring Recording Settings
Recording Time settings (Recording Rate and Picture Quality Setting)
Recording time will vary depending on the image size, recording rate, and the capacity of the hard-disk
drives. Generally, the DVR comes with a built-in hard-disk drive for continuous recording from one to
four weeks under most recording conditions. The table below shows the possible recording times based
on a 20GB hard-disk drive at certain refresh rates and the corresponding image quality. With one or
more hard-disk drives in operation, please calculate the recording time using the table below in
accordance with your requirements. For an NTSC unit, for example, if the unit is set to record images
with the BEST quality at a 30 Frame/Sec record rate, normally a 20GB hard-disk drive will be filled in
3.7 hours (see the gray area in the table). If the total capacity of 80GB hard-disk drives is in use under
the same refresh rate and picture quality, it will be filled in 14.8 hours (4 times the rate of a 20GB
hard-disk drive).
