Basic Hardware Connection
Before you can access the station via network, you need to properly power on the station
and connect it to network.
Network Connection
Note: Consult your network administrator before installing the station to avoid possible
network conflicts.
Use the network port on the rear panel and a network cable with RJ-45 connectors to
connect the station to your network.
Output Connection
Connect a VGA cable or HDMITM cable to the video out interface (VGA or HDMITM) on the
station.
Connect the VGA cable or HDMITM cable to the display unit.
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. Remove the cover from the NVR by unfastening the screws on the back and side.
2. Install the HDD using the provided screws and fasten the screws on the bottom to fix
the HDD.
3. Connect the HDD to the motherboard of the NVR with the included data cable.

5. Repeat the above steps to install other hard disks onto the NVR. After having
finished the installation of all hard disks, re-install the cover and fasten 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.
Notes:
If the alarm input is not an open/close relay, please connect an external relay
between the alarm input and the device.
The following figures only for reference, subject to the actual 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

Quick Start Guide of PRO-NVR-Smart
12
motherboard in the NVR). Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 2 jumpers (JP1, and JP2) 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 2 of the NVR, then you must remove the
JP2.
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.
Power Connection
Plug the power supply (refer to the Specifications) into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY
recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the
device.
Starting Up and Logging In to NVR
