Chapter II Installation Instruction
2.1 Install hard disk：
This digital video recorder isn’t equipped with hard disk. Before install the digital video recorder, please prepare the hard disk. It can
not work without the hard disk. Please choose the supplier recommended HDD, suitable for DVR working, to meet the time and capacity
request. Prefer to purchase it from regular disk supplier, to sure the quality, which will affect DVR working.
Install hard disk: get across screwdriver first.
Step1:Open the case.
Step2:Put the hard disk into the holder and fix it with screws on both left and right
Step3:Using a SATA cord to connect HDD onto SATA connector.
Step4:Put the holder back to the device and fix it with screws.

2.2.1DVR Front Panel
DVR is a short form of Digital Video Recorder.
2.3 Interface on rear panel：
Above picture is rear panel picture. Different model will be with different rear panel.
1. Video input
Connect to video input device. Input signal should be PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0V P-P ，75Ω）
2. Video output
Connect to monitor and output video signals. Signal should be BNC(PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0V P-P ，75Ω）。
3. Audio input
Connect to (analog)Audio input device. Sound pick up device need be with cables, support talking.
4. Audio output
Connect to (analog) audio output device. Audio output signal usually larger than 200mv 1KΩ(BNC)，which can connect low resistance
earphone and cabled speakers ,or it can drive other sound device through sound box. If it cannot spatial separation with the sound box and

Page 11/78
sound pick up device, it may has noise. We can take measure as below,
Take sound pick up device with good direction.
Adjust sound box volume，make it lower than noise range.
Using absorb sound material in the environment，which can reduce sound reflect, improve the sound environment.
Adjust the position of the sound pick up device and sound box, it can lower the noise.
5. Power supply
Connect to DC12V power adaptor
6. USB interface
Connect mouse, USB flash, USB mobile device interface. USB device can upgrade and backup the software.
7. UTP network port
Connect to Ethernet devices, e.g. Ethernet switch, Ethernet hub, etc.
Note：when the Ethernet device connect to the network card directly, use cross wire. When the Ethernet devices connect to the computer,
use parallel cable.
8. VGA output
Connect to VGA display，support CRT、LCD display。
9. Alarm output
Send alarm signals; connect to alarm buzzer or lamp. Alarm output cannot connect large power device（Not exceed 1A）. When alarm
output, we should prevent over current destroy the device. If using large power device, must be separated by contactor.
Alarm input
Receive alarm signals; connect to alarm sensor, such as wave sensor, door status switch and shock sensor.
Alarm detector’s GND port connect with com port（Alarm detector should connect with external electricity）；
Alarm detector’s GND port connect with DVR’ s GND port.
Alarm detector’s NC port connect with DVR’ s alarm input port.（ALARM）；
Alarm input and DVR use the same GND port.
RS485 interface
Connect to P.T.Z device.
PTZ should use the same GND port with DVR,or it may cannot control PTZ. We suggest use the shield cable, the shield one can connect

Page 12/78
to the GND.
Prevent the high-voltage, install the cable in good position to prevent the ray.
Input 120 Ω resistance to reduce reflect ,to make sure the good signal.
DVR’ s 485 AB cable cannot connect to other 485 output device.
Voltage between Decoder AB cable should be small than 5V。（Note A connect to + B connect to -）
