1. Introduction
A VP-100 package includes one VP-40 video capture card and a DVR on chip FLASH ROM. VP-40
supports 4 camera input ports. After install them in a PC, it becomes a dedicated DVR system after power
up. The DVR System is a high performance digital video recorder with built-in mini web server and
real-time video capturing capability. The video is grabbed and compressed for faster transmission to your
PC through 10/100Mbps Ethernet. The video also can display through local VGA output . Besides,
VP-100 supports digital recording function. It can record / playback / browse video simultaneously and
save video data by cyclic recording to PC hard disk.
VP-100 supports full motion live video and audio through Internet, Intranet connection. When supporting
more than 4 camera ports, extra VP-40 cards can be installed on the same PC of VP-100. A DVR on chip
FLASH ROM can support maximum 4 VP-40 capture cards. This makes the PC supporting up to 16
cameras.
After installing VP-100, the PC is ready as a DVR. When power up, it starts local DVR functions such as
monitoring through VGA output and recording to hard disk if it is configured to do that. For remote
monitoring or access to historical data, you will have to set up the LAN or Internet environments and
configure VP-100 IP information. When all these installation are done successfully, VP-100 delivers
real-time full-motion audio/video transmission to anywhere anytime. A PC with Internet browser and our
proprietary plug-ins software can do that. The camera can be remotely controlled to do zoom in and out,
and the unit can be triggered to initiate certain events. Configuration of VP-100 can be done by an IR
remote control unit or a mouse . A sample configuration is shown as below.

2. Getting Started
2.1 Summary of the installing
Before install VP-100 to your PC platform, please make sure the PC’s Hardware is compatible with the
motherboards, which we have recommended in the appendix.
VP-100 contains:
Plug VP-40 onto the PC’s PCI slot. There is a flat cable comes with a DOM. Insert one end of the flat
cable into primary IDE slot. Then insert DOM to the slot at middle of the flat cable. There is also a power
cable comes with the DVR chip. Plug one end of the power cable to PC’s DC power plug and then insert
the small power plug into DVR chip. Please refer to fig 2.1 below for detail.
After complete the above installation, connect a VGA monitor to the VGA output of the PC. You will
need a LAN card on the PC for remote access. The VGA & LAN cards use on the PC shall both be
compatible to the supporting list, too.
Maximum of two hard disk units install on secondary IDE slot is recommended. You can install a third
hard disk at primary IDE slot as a slave unit. But this is NOT recommended. Please contact your local
reseller or Formosa21 customer service for more information.
Connect video signals to the camera input ports of VP-40. These signals can be Camera, VCR, TV or
VCD/DVD player as long as they are NTSC/PAL compatible composite videos.

2.2 Installation
Step 1 : Installing Motherboard
We recommend motherboards that support Linux device drivers. If you purchased a non-recommended
motherboard yourself make sure it works. We are not responsible for non-approved motherboards. We
carry recommended motherboards for system integrators to use. Put the motherboard together just like a
regular PC.
Step 2: Installing CPU
We recommend any Pentium 4 Class CPU. Install as usual and attach the heat sink and fan.
Step 3: Installing Memory
We recommend installing a good brand name 256MB DDR memory.
NOTE: If you choose MPEG4 compression standard, please install 512MB DDR memory.
Step 4 : Installing VGA Card
We recommend VGA cards as in supporting list (Please check appendix) .We carry VGA cards for system
integrators. Insert the VGA card into the AGP slot. Not all VGA cards will work due to unsupported
Linux device drivers.
Step 5: Installing VP-40 Capture Card
Our capture card is proprietary and will only work with our DVR chip. Install the capture card into an
available PCI slot. Once the system boots the DVR firmware will automatically detect how many capture
cards are in the PCI slots.
Step 6: Installing the hard drives
For a single drive make sure the jumper settings is set on primary. Attach that with any ordinary IDE
cable onto the secondary IDE channel. For dual drives make sure one hard drive is set on primary and the
DDR Memory
VP-40 Capture card

secondary on slave. Attach those to the IDE cable and plug into the secondary IDE channel. The max hard
drive size supported is 500GB each. For a total of 1TB.
Note: When VP-100 based DVR is working for the first time, the system will erase the data in the hard
disk. If there is important information in the hard disk, please remember to backup the data in another
storage before the hard disk is used in the VP-100 based DVR.
Step 7: Installing the VP-100 DVR module
The VP-100 DVR module sits on the primary IDE slot on the motherboard. If attaching a CD-RW to your
unit then put the VP-100 DVR module in the middle of the yellow IDE cable included. And then put the
end of the yellow IDE cable to the CD-RW and the other end to the primary IDE channel. The yellow
IDE cable must be used with the VP-100 DVR module and not any generic IDE cable. Then attach the
power connector from the VP-100 DVR module to a free lead from the power supply.
Step 8 : Installing I/O Card (Optional)
GPI and GPO are use for alarm inputs and outputs control.
Note: I/O card is an optional device; if you need it please contact us.
Power Supply
We recommend using a 400W ATX power supply for the DVR unit.
2.3 Power On
After complete the installation , you can power on the PC as usual. Live videos should be displayed on
VGA screen if everything is OK.
2.4 Configuration
When you get videos display on VGA screen, you can configure the VP-100 PC DVR unit using mouse
or the IrDA controller comes with the VP-100 package. Please refer to User manual “Chapter 3

operating DVR by mouse , Chapter 4 Operating DVR by IrDAcontroller.
Change from GUI mode to IR mode
Default operation mode is GUI mode. DVR provides a GUI mode with mouse support. Be sure to plug in
a PS2 mouse at the back of the unit before or when it starts to boot. Go to the running mode in the system
settings. Change it from mouse mode to IR mode. The unit will reboot. Mouse mode is the only mode
where a log can be found.
