2.1 Open-packagecheck
When you receive the DVR, please check first
First, please check whether there is any visible damage to the package appearance. He protective
materials used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation.
Then, please open the box and get rid off the plastic protective materials. Check whether there is
any visible damage to the DVR appearance.

7
At 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.
1. Front panel and rear panel
The key function specification in the front panel and the interface specification in the real panel
are in thespecification.
Please check the product type in the front panel whether is accordant with the product type you
order.
2. Check
After open the cover,you should check if it has obvious damage trace,also please check the front
panel data cable,power cord and motherboard's connection are loose or not.
2.2 Hard diskinstallation
For the first use, please install the hard disk,this machine box can install two hard disk(no limited
capacity).
Take off the screw and open coverConnect HDD power and data cable
Fix the HDD and cover
2.3 Shelfinstallation
This product chassis specification for the standard 1u, so it can be installed in the standard shelf.
Installation steps and attention items:

8
1、Make sure the temperature in the room lower than 35 ª (95°f).
2、Keep the equipment have 15cm (6 inches) space around in order to air's circulation.
3、From bottom to shelf installation.
4、When multiple components install in the frame，please take preventive measures to avoid
power socket overload.

2.6 Audio and video input and outputconnections
2.6.1 Video inputconnections
The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P,
75Ω).
The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the high signal to noise ratio,
low aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the appropriate
brightness.
Insure the video signal stable and credible
The video should be installed in the appropriate location where is away from backlighting and low
illumination or adopts the better backlighting and low illumination compensation.
The ground and power supply of the video and the DVR should be shared and stable.
Insure the transmission line stable and credible
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the
transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video
compensation equipment and transmit by fiber to insure the signal quality.
The video signal line should be away from the electromagnetic Interference and other equipment signal
lines. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.
Insure the connection stable and credible
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which avoid false and joint
welding and oxidation.
2.6.2 Video output connections andoptions
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P, 75Ω) and VGA output
(selectiveconfiguration).
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice
1、Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.

10
2、Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3、Stay away from the electromagnetic Interference.
2.6.3 Audio signal input
Audio port is BNC connection.
The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electromagnetic Interference and connected
credible which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage current should be avoided
especially.
2.6.4 Audio signal output
Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ (BNC) which can
connect the low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipment through
power amplifier. If the sound box and the tone arm cannot be isolated, howling phenomena is often
existed. There are some methods to deal with the above phenomena.
1、Adopt better directional tone arm.
2、Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling phenomena.
3、Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.
4、Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.
2.7 PTZ decoder connections
A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and DVR 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. Takeprecaution from the
thunder.
C. In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and insure the
signal quality.
D. The 485 +/- lines of DVR cannot connected with other 485 output equipment paralleled.
E. The voltage between the +/- lines of the decoder must be less than5V.

3 Basic operation
Note: The button in gray display indicates nonsupport.
3.1 Turn on
Plug the power supply .After the startup you will hear a beep. 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 DVR is working normally.
Note: 1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.
1. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.
3.2 Turn off
There are two methods to turn off the DVR. Entering [main menu] and choosing [turn off] in the [turn
off the system] option is called soft switch. Take off power supply is called hard switch.
Illumination:
1、Auto resume after power failure
If the DVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and resume previous
working status after power failure.
2、Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the real 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 DVR uses button battery. The system time must be checked
regularly. If the time is not correct you must replace the battery, we recommend replacing the battery
every year and using the same batterytype.
Note: The setting information must be saved before replacing the battery otherwise
information will lose.

3.3 System Login
When the DVR boots up, the user must login and the system provides the corresponding functions
with the user purview.There are three user settings. The names are admin, guest and default and
these names have no password. Admin is the super user purview; guest and default’s permissions are
preview and video playback. User admin and guest’s password can be revised, while their permissions
can’t be revised; user default is the default login user whose permission can be revised but not its
password.
Picture 3.1 System Login
Password protection: If the password is continuous wrong three times, the alarm will start. If the
password is continuous wrong five times, the account will be locked. (Through reboot or after half an hour,
the account will be unlockedautomatically).
For your system security, please modify your password after first login.
