3 Installation and Connections
Note: All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electric safety rules.
3.1 HDD Installation (4 306 80)
The DVR is provided with a SATA HDD and it can be equipped with maximum 8 SATA HDDs.
Recommended models are:
- SEAGATE Barracuda series
- SEAGATE SV35 series
- WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar series.
Follow the instructions below to install hard disk.
1. Unscrew the screws on the
upper panel
2. Place the screws on the HDD 3. Place the HDD in its slot
4. Turn round the NVR and
insert the screws in the bayonet
connector
5. Tighten the 4 screws 6. Connect the SATA cable and the
power supply connector
7. Replace the upper panel. 8. Fix the upper panel.

16
3.2 HDD Installation (NVR 4 306 81)
The DVR is provided with a SATA HDD and it can be equipped with maximum 8 SATA HDDs.
Recommended models are:
- SEAGATE Barracuda series
- SEAGATE SV35 series
- WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar series.
Follow the instructions below to install hard disk.
1. Remove the upper panel 2.Fix the HDD on the support using
4 screws
3.Connect the power supply cable
and the SATA cable
4. Replace the upper panel and
fix it

17
3.3 Rack Installation (4 306 81)
The DVR occupies 2 rack units of vertical rack space.
• Use twelve screws to fix the unit.
• Please make sure the indoor temperature is below 35°C (95°f).
• Please make sure there is 15cm (6 inches) space around the device to guarantee sound ventilation.
• Please install from the bottom to the top.
• If there are more accessories connected in the rack, please take precaution measures in case the rack
power is overload.
3.4 Connecting Power Supply
Please check input voltage and device power button match or not.
We recommend you use UPS to guarantee steady operation, DVR life span, and other peripheral equipments
operation such as cameras.
3.5 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
Video output includes VGA output and HDMI output.
System supports VGA and HDMI output at the same time.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following points:
• To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
• Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
• Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce the working
hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low quality TV may result in device
damage.

18
3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio (4 306 81)
Audio Input
The DVR audio inputs adopt BNC port. Device supports bidirectional talk via BNC.
Due to high impedance of audio input, use active sound pick-up. Audio transmission is similar to video
transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose contact and it shall be away from high tension current.
Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ(BNC). It can be directly connected to low
impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device. If the sound box and the pick-up
cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In this case you can adopt the following measures:
• Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
• Reduce the volume of the sound box.
• Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve acoustics
environment.
• Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

3.7 Alarm Input and Output Connection
Refer to the following sheet for alarm input and output connection.
You can select two alarm input types: Normal Open (NO) and Normal Close (NC).
1. Alarm input
a. Make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
b. Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
c. Alarm input needs the low level voltage signal.
d. Alarm input mode can be either NO (Normal Open) or NC (Normal Close).
e. When you are connecting two DVRs or you are connecting one DVR and one other device, use a relay to
separate them.
2. Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A) to avoid
high current which may result in relay damage. Use the contactor to realize the connection between the alarm
output port and the load.
3. How to connect PTZ decoder
a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR, otherwise you may not control the PTZ. Shielded
twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.
b. Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
c. For too long signal wires, 120Ωshould be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end to reduce
reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
d. RS 485 A, B of DVR cannot parallel connect with “RS485 port” of other device.
e. The voltage between of A, B lines of the decoder should be less than 5v.
4. Please make sure the front-end device is linked to ground
Improper grounding may result in product damage.
