2. Open-package check and cable connections
2.1 Open-package check
When you receive the NVR, please check first .
First, please check whether there is any visible damage to the package appearance. The protective
materials used for the package of the NVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation.
Secondly, please open the box and get rid off the plastic protective materials. Check whether there is
any visible damage to the NVR appearance.
Last, please open the machine crust and check the data wire in the front panel, power wire, the
connection between the fan power and the main board.
Front panel and rear panel:
The key function specification in the front panel and the interface specification in the real panel
are in the specification.
Please check the product type in the front panel whether that is accordant with the product type
you order.
The label in the real panel is very important for the after-sale service. Please protect it carefully.
When you contact us for after sale service, please provide the product type and serial number in
the label to us for tracking.
2.2 Hard disk installation:
For the first use，please install the hard disk as the following picture.

②Connect VGA Output
③Connect the network cable
2.3 Audio and video input and output connections:
2.3.1 Video input connections:
Connect the NVR with IP Search and add IP cameras to NVR . Please refer to chapter 3.3.
2.3.2 Video output connections and options:
The video output is divided into BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω) ,HDMI and VGA output(the 3 modes can work at
the same time).

When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to be noticed.
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 electronic magnetic Interference.
TV is not a credible 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. Low quality TV can lead
to the damage of other equipments.
2.3.3 Audio signal input:
Connect the microphone with audio input interface on IP cameras. Then turn the IP camera’ audio
function on NVR.
2.3.4 Audio signal output
Commonly NVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ(BNC) which can connect the low
impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio equipments through power amplifier.
2.4 Alarm input and output connections:
１、Alarm input:
A. Alarm input is “grounding” alarm input.
B. Alarm input demand is the grounding voltage signal.
C. When the alarm is connected with two NVRS or connected with NVR or other equipments, it
should be isolated by relay.
２、Alarm output:
Alarm output cannot be connected with high-power load(no more than 1A).When forming the loop, it
must prevent the big electronic current from relay damage. Use the contact isolator when there is a
high-power load
３、PTZ decoder connections :
A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and NVR must be shared otherwise the common-mode
voltage will lead to the PTZ control failure. The shielded twisted pair is recommended.
B. Avoid the entrance of high voltage. Make the layout reasonably. Take precaution from the

thunder.
C. In the outlying end, please connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and
insure the signal quality.
D. The 485AB lines of NVR can not connected with other 485 output equipments paralleled.
E. The voltage between the AB lines of the decoder must be less than 5V.
4、Front equipment grounding note:
Bad grounding can lead to the burn-out of the chip.
5、Alarm input type unlimited:
The NVR alarm output port is” NORMAL OPEN “type.

3. Basic operation
Note: The button in gray display indicates no support on such devices. .
3.1 Power on:
Plug the power supply and turn on the power supply switch. Power supply indicator light shining
indicates turning on the video recorder. After the start-up a beep sounds. The default setting of video
output is multiple-window output mode. If the startup time is within the video setting time, the timing video
recording function will start up automatically. Then the video indicator light of corresponding channel is
shining and the NVR is working normally.
Note:1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the NVR power supply.
2. Power supply source: 220V±10% /50Hz.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under the unstable electricity conditions.
3.2 Power off:
Press the power supply switch on rear panel to shut down.
1、Watchdog after power failure
If the NVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and recover previous
working status after power failure.
2、Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the rear panel must be turned off.
3、Replace the battery
Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved and the power supply switch
in the real panel must be turned off. The NVR uses button battery. The system time must be checked
regularly. If the time is not correct, users must replace the battery.
