Installation instructions
2.1 Check unpacked DVR The key functions on the front panel and various interfaces on the rear panel are introduced in detail in this instruction book. Please check the model on the front panel against your purchase order carefully. The barcode label on the rear panel is very important to our aftersales service. Don’t tear it off or discard it (otherwise we won’t provide warranty service. When you call our company for after-sales service, we always need you to provide the product’s serial No.
2.2 Installation precautions Please ensure this unit is connected to a correct power supply and where possible use a surge protection device. 2.2.1 Install HD This DVR uses serial type SATA hard drives and has no master/slave settings. 2.2.1.1 How to choose hard disks High speed HD 7200 rpm or more is recommended. About brand, the Samsung HDD is strongly recommended. 2.2.1.2 How to choose HDD size 1. Single HD capacity For single HD, the user can fit a 10Gb minimum HDD, but for better stability, 160G-500Gb HDD is recommended. 2 How to calculate the total capacity of HDDs The computing formula of total HDD size is: The total capacity (M) = channel numbers * recording hours * HDD used per hour(M/h) So we can get the computing formula of recording hours: recording hours= the total capacity (M) HDD used per hour (M/h) DVR adopts MPEG4/H.264 compression technology. This technology will produce considerable dynamic range when compressing data. So when you calculate the total HD capacity, you should estimate the average HDD capacity per hour per channel. For example: For 4-ch DVR, the average capacity of HDD used per hour per channel is 200M/h. Now if you hope the DVR can record for 30 days with 24 hours per day, the total capacity of HDD needed is: 4 channels * 30 days * 24 hours * 200 M/h = 576Gb. So you need to install two 300Gb HDDs or four 160G HDDs. 2.2.1.3 HDD installation (see chapter 3 for installation diagram) Data ribbons & fastening screws are provided in the accessories supplied for installing the maximum number of HDDs. One point you should take special attention of, is that this DVR takes Serial ATA hard drives. These have no master or slave jumpers. After HDD installation, please check connection of data ribbons and power cords, then refit the outer cover.

2.2.2 About DVD/CD burner When fitting a DVD/CD burner in this DVR ensure that it is a serial device and not parallel. Ask for DVD200. It is also recommended that the first serial drive port connects to a SATA HDD and the second port connects to the DVD/CD writer. Subsequent HDDs can be fitted to port 3 onwards. 2.2.3 Connection of exterior mains power supply Ensure that the machine supplied is suitable for the mains voltage supply. 2.2.4 Install DVR in the machine cabinet The size of DVR is 2Ustandard industrial case,441mm (Wide)x430mm (Deep)x89mm (High) Put the cabinet in a ventilated place. Avoid extreme heat, humid and heave dusty conditions. After long time use, you should clean inlet opening, cooling fan etc. with a soft dry brush.
2.3 Connection of video/audio input/output 2.3.1 Connection of video input The video input interface is BNC. The request of video input is PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0V p.p 75ohms. The video signal should comply with national standards. High SNR, low distortion, low interference, natural colour and suitable brightness are also needed for the video signal. Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal: The camera should be installed in a suitable place. Where backlighting issues or low illumination surroundings are encountered the user should use backlighting compensation or low illumination features on the camera. The power supply of the camera should have the same grounding with the power supply of the DVR to ensure the normal operation of the camera. Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line Use high quality, good shielded BNC and choose suitable BNC model according to the transmission distance. For long distance you should use twisted pair cable with baluns or use optical fibre transmission to ensure video quality. You should keep the video signal away from strong electromagnetic interference, especially from high voltage power lines. Ensure connections are well made and kept clean The video line and shielded wire should be firmly connected and kept dry and clean. 2.3.2 Audio input HD1 4/8-ch use BNC. 16-ch uses RCA audio cable via a 25-pin connector. Due to high impedance of audio input, you must use live sound input. Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Avoid interference, keep clean and dry and do not locate near power lines. 2.3.3 How to choose and connect video output device Video output includes a BNC(PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP- P, 75O))output and a VGA output. We recommend you use a heavy duty standard metal case CCTV monitor as video output device for best results. This monitor has the following advantages:
1. Will adapt to industry standards for a longer time, will resist heavy wear and tear and is less likely to break down.
15
2. Has higher definition and better colour reproduction than popular consumer products. 3. Better stability and anti-interference abilities, & generally more adaptable. When PC-type monitor is used to replace the monitor, the following points should be noticed: 1 The PC should not be powered on continuously for a long time. 2 Regular degausing will be necessary. 3 Keep away from strong electromagnetic fields. Using a TV as video output device is not a reliable method. The user also needs to reduce the hours of use and control the interference from power supplies and other devices. Using low cost television products can present problems concerning unreliable protection circuits that could result in damage to this DVR. 2.3.4 Audio output The audio output parameter of DVR is 200mvp-p (BNC), can connect directly with low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-driven audio output device. To avoid feedback ensure that the microphone is not placed too close to the sound amplifier. Also note the following: if feedback or poor quality audio occurs:1 Use better sound pick-up with better directing property. 2 Reduce the volume gain of the sound amplifier or audio pre-amplifier. Using more sound-absorbing materials in the location can reduce echo and improve acoustics. 4 Change the positioning of the equipment to alleviate feedback problems. 2.4 Connection of alarm input and output devices Before connection, please pay attention to the following points: 1. Alarm input a. First confirm if the alarm input is grounding alarm input or voltage alarm input. b. Alarm input: for D1/HD1series, 5~15v is needed for voltage alarm input. For CIF series, grounding signal is needed for alarm input. 2. Alarm output The alarm output port should not be connected directly to a high power load to avoid heavy current which may damage the relay, but you can use the connection between the alarm output port and the load. 3. How to connect PTZ decoder a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR, otherwise you may fail to control the PTZ. Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the ground. b. Avoid high power surges. Install power surge protection equipment. c. For long RS485 data lines, 120 ohm resistor should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end to guarantee the signal quality d. The RS485 A,B connections on the f DVR cannot be parallel connected with other RS485 control devices. e. The voltage between of A,B lines of the decoder should be less than 5v.

2.5 Select and configure recording mode The DVR can provide multiple recording modes. The user should select and configure the recording mode due to actual needs. To get the best balance between the recording time and HDD space used, the user should pay attention to the following points: 1 The recording period for the motion detection or alarm recording cannot overlap with the schedule recording. 2 Under poor illumination, the user should avoid using motion detection recording. He had better use more stabilized alarm recording with linked light control to assure the recording quality and rational use of HDD. 3 The sensitivity of motion detection should be adjusted according to environmental test to avoid false triggers.
2.6. Network connection DVR provides a standard RJ45 port and embedded TCP/IP protocol to connect LAN or Internet. During construction of LAN, please use switch instead of HUB to guarantee adequate bandwidth and avoid an excessively long wiring distance. Ethernet cable should be made according to standard.

Chapter 6 Network Operation 6.1 Configure the DVR to operate with a modem router. For experienced installers
Configure the DVR as follows: a. It is assumed you have a PC working on Broadband Internet. b. Check IP address in P.C and record IP Address, Subnet Mask & Gateway Address. Example: IP Address 192.168.1.10 Subnet: 255.255.255.000 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 c. Connect LAN cable from router to DVR. d. Assign DVR a private IP address Example : 192.168.001.108 You need to assign the DVR an IP address similar to PC. The IP address you assign must be unique but the first three levels must match your local network. When configuring the DVR’s IP address information, the version of firmware within the units may display the IP addresses differently. For simplicity 192.168.1.108 may have to be configured as 192.168.001.108 1. Enter the DVR Menu –Go to Settings > Network 2. Enter Network menu 3. SET IP ADDRESS (see above), Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 (example), GATEWAY 192.168.1.1 (example - Router local address), Service Port 37777, HTTP Port 80, Protocol TCP and Max Connections 10 and press SAVE. 4. EXIT MENU. 5. Now turn Router off and on. This will take about one minute to reset. 6. Your DVR is now ready for access via the local PC using the Client or Sight Boss Software. 7. Refer to your modem/router manual for instructions on how to configure it to allow incoming Internet access. 8. If you fail to access DVR check all steps again.

Important Notes : If using a BT phone line you must use an ADSL modem router, if using a NTL or cable phone service you must use an appropriate cable router. Be aware that when connected to the Internet, the router has two IP addresses: internal and external. The internal address is seen by devices connecting to it’s Ethernet ports, the external address represents it’s connection to the local exchange via the telephone line. Tasks : • • • • • • • • • • • •

8. FAQ 1. Can this system run in windows 98? Yes but you will need to install DIRECTX 7.0 or higher first. Note that performance on an older type PC may be degraded. Note that SightBoss must be run on Windows 2000 or XP and there are restrictions using Vista (see SightBoss manual.) 2. System cannot detect hard disk. First check serial data cable and power cord are correctly connected inside DVR. 3. I cannot use Schedule record function. Please note the recording time unit takes one day as a working unit i.e.: from 0000hrs to 2400hrs. Do not overlap recording slot times and only setup slots within the same 2400 hour period. For example setting 22:00 ~ 06:00 motion detect and 06:00 ~ 22:00 continuous recording is set as follows: Timeslot 1 00:00 ~ 05:59 highlight Motion Detect column Timeslot 2 06:00 ~ 22:00 highlight Regular column Timeslot 3 22:01 ~ 24:00 highlight Motion Detect column 4.
