NVR Pre-Installation
The NVR is highly advanced surveillance equipment that should be installed with care. Please take into
consideration the following precautionary steps before installation of the NVR.
1. Keep all liquids away from the NVR.
2. Install the NVR in a well-ventilated and dust-free area.
3. Ensure environmental conditions meet factory specifications.
4. Install a manufacturer recommended HDD.
NVR Installation
During the installation of the NVR:
1. Use brackets for rack mounting.
2. Ensure there is ample room for audio and video cables.
3. When routing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its diameter.
4. Connect the alarm cable.
5. Allow at least 2cm (≈0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
6. Ensure the NVR is grounded.
7. Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 ºC ~ 55 ºC, 14ºF ~ 131ºF.
8. Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% ~ 90%.
Hard Disk Installation
Before you start:
Disconnect the power from the NVR before installing a hard disk drive (HDD). A factory recommended HDD
should be used for this installation.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.
Steps:
1. Fasten the hard disk mounting handle to the hard disk with screws.

Peripheral Connections
Wiring of Alarm Input
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. To connect the alarm input to the device, use the following diagram.
If the alarm input is not an open/close relay, please connect an external relay between the alarm input and the
device.
Wiring of Alarm Output
To connect to an alarm output (AC or DC load), use the following diagram:
DC Load Connection Diagram AC Load Connection Diagram
For DC load, the jumpers can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely.
To connect an AC load, jumpers should be left open (you must remove the jumper on the motherboard in the
NVR). Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4) on the motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By
default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, jumpers should be removed.
Example:
If you connect an AC load to the alarm output 3 of the NVR, then you must remove the JP 3.
Using of Alarm Connectors
To connect alarm devices to the NVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.
2. Unfasten stop screws from the pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and fasten stop screws. Ensure
signal cables are in tight.

3. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
Controller Connection
To connect a controller to the NVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the KB terminal block.
2. Unfasten stop screws from the KB D+, D- pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and fasten stop
screws. Ensure signal cables are in tight.
3. Connect Ta on controller to D+ on terminal block and Tb on controller to D- on terminal block. Fasten stop
screws.
4. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
Make sure both the controller and NVR are grounded.
