3 Installation and Connections

Note: All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electric safety rules.

3.1 Check Unpacked DVR

When you receive the DVR from the shipping agency, please check whether there is any visible damage to the DVR appearance. The protective materials used for the package of the DVR can protect most accidental clashes during transportation. Then you can open the box to check the accessories.

Please check the items in accordance with the list on the warranty card. Finally you can remove the protective film of the DVR.

3.2 HDD Installation

3.2.1 Choose HDDs

We recommend Seagate HDD of 7200rpm or higher.

3.2.2 Calculate HDD Size

This series have no limit to HDD capacity. You can use 120G-750G HDD to

guarantee higher stability.

The formula of total HDD size is:

Total Capacity (MB) = Camera Amount * Recording Hours * HDD Usage Per Hour

(M/h)

H.264 compression is ideal for standalone DVRs. It can save more than 30% HDD capacity than MPEG4. When you calculate the total HD capacity, you should estimate the average HDD capacity per hour for each channel. For example, for a 4-ch DVR, the average capacity of HDD usage per hour per channel is 200M/h. Now if you hope the DVR can record the video 12 hours each day for 30 days, the total capacity of HDDs needed is: 4 channels * 30 days * 12 hours * 200 M/h = 288G. So you need to install one 300G HDD or 2 160G HDDs.

3.2.3 HDD Installation

Data ribbons, fastening screws and smart HDD shelf design are already provided in the accessories.

Please follow the instructions below to install hard disk.

1. Loosen the screws of the upper cover.

2. Remove the HDD bracket from internal unit.

3. Dismantle the upper HDD bracket.

5. Screw the two bracket parts together.

6. Put HDD bracket back and then fix firmly.

7. Loosen the power cable.

8. Connect to the SATA ports and then connect power cord to the HDDs.

9. Place the upper cover back and screw firmly.

After HDD installation, please check connection of data ribbon and power cord. 3.3 CD/DVD Burner Installation

To connect each video input:

1. Connect a coaxial cable to the camera or other analog video source.

2. Connect the coaxial cable to the video in connector on the rear panel. Please refer to Figure 3-1 for more information.
