Hardware Requirements
Before you are able to fully use the DVR IP & Anologue camera systems you need to make
sure you have the correct peripheral hardware connected.
Below is a list of devices you will need to connect to the DVR before camera footage
monitoring is able. You will need to connect them before powering up the DVR.
Monitor - any computer monitor with a VGA or HDMI connecon.
Mouse - Either PS2 or USB connecons.
Keyboard (oponal) - only takes a USB connector.
USB Flash memory storage device - This to store and transfer selected video clips.
USB Hard drive - If you require more memory storage than the USB ash device.
PELCO Standard Anologue PTZ Cameras: Non-PELCO cameras will not be compable.
Startup Procedure
Connect surveillance cameras to one or more of the DVR’s BNC connectors found at the
end of the cable aached to the back of the DVR.
Note: Do not mix and match NTSC and PAL cameras. The Qvis DVR is designed to handle only
one video standard at a me. NTSC and PAL are video footage standards, which are used all
around the world. Each country uses one or the other but not both. NTSC captures video at
29.7 frames per second, whilst PAL captures at 25 frames per second (the UK uses PAL as its
standard).
Before powering on the DVR, ensure that the display, network cable, mouse, and keyboard
(oponal) are all properly connected to the unit.
Power on display/monitor.
Power on the DVR and wait about 60 seconds for system to boot up.

Startup Proceedure (connued)
When the DVR has fully booted, the rst image that will be displayed on the monitor
will be mul-led video monitor window (as shown below). This will display the video

You can shutdown the DVR at any point during use, as long as you have completed using the
interface and/or you understand that your CCTV security system will be fully shutdown and
oine once you have instructed the system to switch o. This includes any recording of the
video feeds from the cameras aached to the device/system.
Firstly hover the cursor over the boom of the interface area . This will allow the hidden
‘Toolbar’ to appear giving you four buon opons to choose from.
Go to the ‘Toolbar’ at the boom of the screen and click on the ‘Qvis DVR shutdown’
icon:
A pop up window will ask if you are sure you would like to shutdown, select ‘Yes’ and the
system will iniate shut down procedures.
The Qvis DVR is an embedded Linux computer running complex video soware. As with all
computers, their integrity is maintained beer if they are formally shut down, rather than
having their power abruptly removed. In addion to allowing the operang system to clean
up, the recorded video streams can be properly closed, among other acvies.
Note: Linux is a type of operang system like Microso Windows. It is mainly used on network
systems for its simple, reliable and ecient setup.
