2 Open-package check and cable connection
2.1 Open-package check
When you receive the DVR, please check first .
First, please check whether there is any visible damage to the package appearance. The protective materials
used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation.
Then, please open the box and get rid off the plastic protective materials. Check whether there is any visible
damage to the DVR appearance.
At last, please open the machine crust and check the data wire in the front panel, power wire, the connection
between the fan power and the main board.
1.Front panel and rear panel
The key function specification in the front panel and the interface specification in the real panel are in
the specification.
Please check the product type in the front panel whether is accordant with the product type you order.

The label in the real panel is very important for the after service. Please protect it carefully. When you
contact us for after service, please provide the product type and serial number in the label.
2. After open the case should be checked
In addition to checking whether there are obvious signs of external damage, please note that before the
inspection panel data lines, power lines and motherboard connection is loose.
2.2 Frame installation
The specification of machine box is standard 1U.It can be installed in the standard frame.
Installation approach and notice:
1、Mare sure the house temperature under 35℃(95°f).
2、Keep the DVR away from other equipments at least 15 centimeters(6 inches).
3、Frame installation from bottom to top.
4、If installing multiple components in the frame, take precaution to avoid the overload of the jack.

2.6 Audio and video input and output connections
2.6.1 Video input connections
The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω).
The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the high signal to noise ratio, low
aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the appropriate brightness.
Insure the camera signal stable and credible
The camera should be installed in the appropriate location where is away from backlighting and low
illumination or adopts the better backlighting and low illumination compensation.
The ground and power supply of the camera and the DVR should be shared and stable.
Insure the transmission line stable and credible
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the transmission
distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video compensation
equipment and transmit by fiber to insure the signal quality.
The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other equipments signal
lines. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.
Insure the connection stable and credible
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which avoid false and joint welding and
oxidation.
2.6.2 Video output connections and options
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω) and VGA output(selective configuration).
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.
1、Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
2、Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3、Stay away from the electro magnetic Interference.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control the power
supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The creepage of low quality TV can lead
to the damage of other equipments.
