About this Manual

This manual is written for the QT family of Conventional and SDI DVRs. Not all features and capabilities are shared across all models so you may see features described which are not applicable or available on your machine. In addition you may see screen images that do not exactly match those on your display.

This manual was accurate at the time it was completed. However, because of our ongoing effort to constantly improve our products, features and functions may have been added or changed since that time and on-screen displays may change. We encourage you to visit our website at www.Q-See.com to check for the latest firmware updates and product announcements.

Throughout the manual we have highlighted warnings and other important information that will assist you in operating your new system in a safe and trouble-free manner. Please take the time to read and follow all instructions and pay attention to alerts as shown below:

IMPORTANT! Red boxes with this icon indicate warnings. To prevent possible injury or damage to the product, read all warnings before use.

NOTE! Text in blue boxes with the Information icon offer additional guidance and explanations about how to make the most out of your system.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CONVENTIONAL AND SDI SYSTEMS

Depending upon the model, your DVR is equipped to work with conventional analog cameras or digital high definition SDI (Serial Digital Interface) cameras. Both cameras use similar cables and connectors, (see Section 2.5 for connection instructions) but they are not interchangeable as they are two completely different - and incompatible - technologies. If you are adding cameras beyond those that came packaged with your DVR, be sure to check that they are compatible with your system.

Aside from this, the operation of the DVR is identical regardless of the technology. The primary difference is in resolution. While recent breakthroughs in analog video technology have allowed conventional cameras to be able to deliver resolutions up to 1000 TVL (Television Lines) as of this writing, Q-See's SDI cameras record in 720p and 1060p high definition which offers the advantage of a higher pixel count and no loss of clarity due to having to convert the video signal between digital and analog formats. Similarly, the conventional DVRs can only record files up to the D1 (704x480 pixels) or 960H formats (960x480 pixels) while the SDI systems will record in formats up to 1060p (1920x1080 pixels).

INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1

FOR YOUR SAFETY

To prevent damage to your Q-See product or injury to yourself or to others, read and understand the following safety precautions in their entirety before installing or using this equipment. Keep these safety instructions where all those who use the product will read them.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!

• Check the unit and any accessories included in the package immediately after opening. If items are missing or damaged, repackage and return to the point of purchase.
  Use the proper power source. Only use the power adapter supplied with your system. Do not use this product with a power source that applies more than the specified voltage (100-240V AC).
  ■ Never insert anything metallic into the DVR. Inserting anything into the DVR or its case can be a source of dangerous electric shock.
  ■ Do not operate in dusty areas. Avoid placing the DVR in places that are dusty.
  Do not expose this product to rain or use near water. If this product accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact Q-See immediately.
• Keep product surfaces clean and dry. To clean the outside case of the DVR, gently wipe using a lightly dampened cloth (only use water, do not use solvents).
• Do not operate this DVR without the cover securely in place. Do not attempt to do any repairs to the DVR yourself. If there are unusual sounds or smells coming from the DVR, unplug it immediately and contact Q-See technical support. Under no circumstances should the cover be removed while the device is connected to a power source. You should only remove the cover to install/replace the hard disk drive (See Chapter 9) or replace the standard 3v lithium cell battery on the motherboard. These are the only user serviceable parts. You may need to replace the battery if the internal clock resets itself after a power outage
• Handle the DVR carefully. If you accidentally drop your DVR on any hard surface, it may cause a malfunction. If the DVR doesn't work properly due to physical damage, contact an authorized dealer for repair or exchange.
  ■ Make sure there is proper air circulation around the unit. This DVR system uses a hard drive for video storage which generates heat during operation. Do not block air holes located on the bottom, top, sides and back of the DVR as they are designed to keep the system cool while running. Install or place this product in an area where there is ample air circulation.
  ■ Provide proper ventilation. This DVR has a built-in fan that properly ventilates the system. Do not cover or impede this fan.

In addition to the buttons on the front of the DVR, your system can be controlled through the USB mouse and the remote control. We have found that the majority of our customers prefer to operate their DVRs using the USB mouse because of its ease of use and flexibility and our manual is set up with this in mind.

2.2 MOUSE

The mouse is the default tool for navigating through the menus. Specific instructions for its use within a function appear in the appropriate sections of the manual, but a basic overview is below:

In Live View:

Double-click the left button on any camera view in split-screen mode to bring it to full-screen display.

Double-click again to return to split-screen mode.

Right-click to show the control bar at the bottom of the screen.

Right-clicking again will hide the control bar.

In Setup:

Left-click to make a selection. Right-click to cancel setup or return to previous screen.

To Input Values:

Illustration of a computer mouse with a black body and white bezel, no text or symbols present.

PICTURE 2-1

Move the cursor to a blank field and click. A virtual keyboard will appear which supports numbers, letters and symbols. The Shift function will access symbols in addition to upper case letters.

Certain values, such as time settings, can be changed using the mouse wheel.

2.3 REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control allows you to perform most of the day-to-day functions from a convenient distance. It functions as a typical remote control with additional buttons allowing you to navigate through menus and control functions. We recommend that you configure your DVR using the mouse controls, reserving the remote control for operations such as live viewing, file search and playback.

There are three models. All use two AAA-sized batteries. If the remote's performance degrades, check the batteries as well as that the IR receiver window on the DVR is unobstructed.

2.4 VIDEO DISPLAY

QT-Series DVRs can use a television or a 19" or larger monitor as a main video display. Certain models also provide the option of using a high definition display, such as an HDTV. A video display is not needed for day to day use of your DVR if you are only monitoring it remotely via a mobile device or using a computer, but one is needed for initial setup. It should also be noted that, at present, it is not possible to change settings on the DVR itself using the QT View mobile remote viewing apps and certain settings cannot be changed using the remote monitoring software on the computer.

CONNECTING A VIDEO DISPLAY

Instructions on connecting a desired video display are included in the Quick Start Poster that came with your system but are included here for your convenience.

VGA Monitor

Using a standard VGA monitor - the type used with most computers - with your DVR is the preferred method and the DVR is configured with this in mind. Due to resolution restrictions, you must use a monitor that has at least a 19° diagonal display. This information is typically found on the back of the monitor if you are uncertain.

STEP 1. Plug a VGA cable into the port marked "VGA" on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the other end of the VGA cable into the similar port on the back of the monitor.
STEP 3. Plug the monitor's power cable into the surge protector.

PICTURE 2-6

High Definition Television

Some QT-Series DVRs include an HDMI video out port allowing you to use a high definition television or other display that has an HDMI video input.

STEP 1. Plug an HDMI cable into the "HDMI" port on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the other end into the "HDMI" port on the television.
STEP 3. Plug the television's power cable into a surge protector.

PICTURE 2-7

Changing Display Resolution

You can adjust the DVR to optimize its output to best match the capabilities of your monitor or HD display through the following steps:

STEP 1. Open the Basic window in the Setup window which is located in the Main Menu.

STEP 2. Click on the System tab.

STEP 3. Use the Video Output pull-down to select your desired resolution.

STEP 4. Click on Apply to save your settings and then click Exit.

STEP 5. Your system will restart. You will have to re-log in afterwards.

PICTURE 2-8

Television

A third option for a video display is any television with an RCA video input. The DVR's Video Out port uses a BNC (British Naval Connector) type for coaxial cable. Depending on model, your DVR may include a BNC-to-PCA cable or adapter. The latter converts the BNC jack to an RCA port allowing you to connect the DVR to the television using a readily available RCA cable. If you use a television as your video display, you will need to switch the DVR to use that as a primary output by following Step 4, below:

PICTURE 2-9

STEP 1. Connect a BNC-to-RCA cable to the "Video Out" port on the back of the DVR.
STEP 2. Plug the RCA end into the "Video In" port on the television.
STEP 3. Plug the television's power cable into a surge protector.
STEP 4. Press and hold the STOP, STOP/ESC, EXIT, ■/ESC or VGA/TV (depending on model) button on the front of the DVR for 10 seconds or until you hear a beep to indicate that the video mode has been changed.

'MISSING' MENU

If you are able to see your camera's video feeds, but you are unable to see your mouse cursor or menu, the most likely cause is that your video mode has been changed. In this case, you need to follow Step 4, above and you should see the cursor and/or menu after the beep.

MULTIPLE MONITORS AND SPOT OUT

Some DVRs include a Spot Out BNC port on their back panel. This allows you to connect a second video display that will show selected channels in sequence, but will not display the menu and therefore cannot be used to control the DVR. This is covered in Section 4.2 Live Configuration. Some users will want to take advantage of the unused video display outputs (ie; using the BNC Video Out port when the VGA port is being used for the main display. This "extra" display will mirror whatever is shown on the primary display but it will not show the menu or cursor. It is not possible to divide channels across two displays.

Loop Out

Some of our larger DVRs, such as the QT518 and QT536 include one or more ports marked Loop Out. These ports work with the included dongle(s) that split the video signal allowing the user to connect one monitor per channel. In this case, the menu will not be displayed on any of these additional monitors.

2.5 CAMERAS

CONNECTING CAMERAS

Your DVR uses BNC connectors and ports to ensure quick and secure connections for your cameras' video cables. While both conventional analog and digital SDI (Serial Digital Interface) high definition cameras use this interface, they cannot be connected to a port intended for the other type because of incompatible signals. It is therefore important to ensure that you are attempting to connect to the proper port.

STEP 1. Connect the BNC and power leads on the camera to the matching connectors on the power and video cable.

NOTE: The male power end fits into the matching power lead on the camera.

STEP 2. Connect the BNC connector on the other end of the cable to any of the Video In ports on the back of the DVR.

STEP 3. Plug one of the power leads on the power splitter (if your camera kit includes one) into the power lead on the power and video cable. If you are connecting only a single camera, connect the power lead to the power adapter and skip to Step 6, below.

PICTURE 2-10

STEP 4. Repeat for each camera included with your package to ensure proper connection and function.

STEP 5. Connect the single end of the power splitter to the power adapter.

STEP 6. Plug the power adapter into a surge protector. You should now see a live video food from each of your cameras.

PICTURE 2-11

Some camera bundles may contain more than one camera power supply and splitter. Repeat the steps above as necessary to connect all of your cameras. For bundles containing multiple types of cameras, make sure to connect to the proper power supply as mixing and matching may either cause damage or insufficient power to your cameras.

You may now mount your cameras.

CAMERA PLACEMENT

When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but for other considerations as well:

Distance from viewing/recording device. The further the camera is from the DVR or monitor, the higher the chances of signal degradation. Typical 75Ω Video Cable provides acceptable signal at distances up to 200° (60m). At greater distances, UL-Listed shielded RG59 should be used. The camera's power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the distance exceeds 200° as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in a decrease in video quality.

Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference. Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.

Place camera out of reach to avoid damage.

Avoid direct exposure to weather. Do not place the camera where rain or snow will hit the lens directly nor should the camera be placed so that the sun or bright light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not work when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not directly exposed to water and are protected from the elements.

Indoor cameras should not be used outdoors. Even if they are in a sheltered location, they can still suffer damage due to humidity, dust and other environmental factors. Each camera has an ingress Protection (IP) rating which defines how protected the internal workings of the camera are from solid objects - such as fingers or bugs - dust and moisture. In an IP rating, there are two numbers that follow the letters "IP." The first represents the protection from solids while the second represents the housing's protection from moisture. A camera should have a minimum rating of IP65 for trouble-free use outdoors.

Mounting surface. The mounting surface must be sturdy and able to hold at least five times the camera's total weight.

Legal Considerations. Always check state and local laws before installing cameras. (2011 NEC 820.44)

Do not place camera behind a window. If there is a light source behind the camera, it can cause a reflection in the window that will obscure events on the other side of the glass. Likewise, the camera's infrared LEDs will reflect off the glass and shine into the lens, thus degrading the image.

Light levels should be approximately the same between camera and target

area. A camera in a brightly-lit area looking into a shaded area, or vice versa, may produce inadequate results.

The above are guidelines and the optimal location for your camera will depend on your unique circumstances. As a general rule, the locations highlighted in Green in the picture to the right indicate the best locations to mount your camera. Both locations are sheltered from rain or snow and offer good sight lines to allow your camera to monitor a wide area.

PICTURE 2-12

Because your camera is weatherproof, it requires less protection than weather-resistant cameras and it can be placed in more exposed locations if needed. Keep in mind that most Q-See cameras are designed to operate between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°) with a relative humidity of up to 95%) and consider wind chill and other environmental factors when selecting your location. Specialty cameras are also available from Q-See which are able to operate in more extreme environments.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Most users prefer to operate their systems with the DVRs recording only when motion is detected. This provides the most efficient use of the hard drive's capacity, plus making it easier for a recording to be located. However, if the a camera's location has a lot of "environmental" motion, such as a fan, wind, or the like, you will receive a lot of "false alarms." Usually, these events can be avoided by simply adjusting the placement of the camera. Other situations may require some fine-tuning of your settings. Chapter 8 Alarms, covers these settings in detail, but some easily avoidable situations are presented below:

TV/Computer Screens. If the camera can see a video screen, it will trigger a motion alarm any time the screen changes, whether there is a video or simply a screen saver. The screen can be masked out as described in Section 4.2. You can also reduce the level of motion sensitivity in specific areas of the screen by following the instructions in Section 8.3.

Fans/Machinery. Motion is motion and if machinery within the camera's field of view starts automatically, it will cause an alert. Similarly, if the camera is mounted on a wall with machinery on the other side that causes it to vibrate, that can also cause it to detect motion. Moving machinery within the camera's field of view may be masked off as mentioned above, or motion detection may be turned off for that channel. If there is another camera that covers access to the area where the machinery is located, you can set it so that the first camera will only be recording when triggered by a motion event detected by this second camera. See "Triggers" in described in Section 8.3.

Bugs. An occasional insect flying through the field of view is usually not enough to trigger an alert. However, some flying insects are attracted to infrared light and will swarm the camera. This is usually a temporary situation that occurs at only a certain time of the year. Lighting the area with yellow "bug light" of sufficient brightness can keep the camera operating in daylight mode and keep the infrared LEDs turned off. A second solution is to set the channel to record all the time, and turn motion detection off at night until "bug season" is over. Reducing the motion sensitivity (Section 8.3) can also reduce alerts as can using another camera to trigger recording as described above.

Additionally, keep your cameras clear of spider webs as the movement of the webs due to wind or critters in the web will cause an alert. The reflection of the infrared off the webs and back into the camera will also reduce the night vision range.

Snow/Rain. As with bugs, this is usually a seasonal event and may require motion detection to be temporarily disabled to avoid false alarms. However, positioning the camera further under shelter, such as closer to the wall and away from the edge of the eaves, can make the rain or snow too small for the camera to notice. Adjusting motion sensitivity may also help in some situations.

960H CAMERAS

A new standard for analog video cameras, 960H increases the width of the image from D1's 720x480 pixels to 960x480 pixels. When connected to a DVR with 960H capability, this allows the camera to take advantage of the wider aspect ratios of most monitors and HD screens to deliver a wider, clearer image, without the distortion caused by stretching to fit the screen. This is demonstrated in the image below:

Exterior view of two white cars parked on a road with people nearby, surrounded by greenery (no visible text or symbols)

Standard analog camera image stretched to fit HD aspect ratio.

PICTURE 2-13

You can use 960H cameras with analog DVRs that don't have that technology, but the DVR will be unable to take full advantage of the capabilities for best results.

QT4 Series DVRs are set to record in real-time (30 frames per second) in the CIF format. Depending on the model, one or more channels may be set to record in the higher resolution in real-time, or all channels may record in D1, but at a reduced frame rate. QT5 Series DVRs, along with the QT454, are configured to record in real-time on all channels in the high-resolution D1 format. SDI DVRs will only record at 1060p resolution. The QT2124 can only record in the CIF format. There are five sets of options; Enable, Record Bitrate, Time, Stamp and Recycle Record.

Enable Tab

Select some or all of the cameras to record to the DVR. Depending on your DVR model, you can set up to 16 cameras to record audio in addition to video. This will require cameras equipped with microphones or separate microphones co-located with the camera(s). You can globally select all the cameras regardless of their individual settings by selecting the All box below each column.

Record Bitrate Tab

Set up the resolution, quality, encoding, quality and maximum bitrate of the video stream according to your needs. You can set each camera individually, or globally by using the All function at the bottom of the window.

NOTE! While each camera can have its resolution and frame rate set independently of the other cameras, the DVR may limit the frame rate available to a camera based on the settings of other cameras.

Parameter	Options	What It Means
Resolution	D1, CIF 1080P	D1 = Full TV resolution, CIF = I/2 D1. D1 takes more room on the hard drive than CIF1080P = Full HD resolution. Only available (and only option) on DVRs with SOI. Will only record at 7FPS. (see below).
FPS	1-30	Frames per second. More frames makes for smoother video but takes up more room on the hard drive.
Encode	VBR, CBR	Variable Bit Rate versus Constant Bit Rate. VBR provides better image quality for video with motion in it, but at the expense of a larger file size.
Quality	Lowest – Highest	Only available when VBR is selected. The higher the quality, the more drive space required. CBR's default setting is for higher quality.
Max Bitrate	256-2084kbps	This sets the maximum bitrate that each camera will record at with VBR encoding selected.

Time Tab

You can set the length of time the DVRs record an event before and after a motion detection or alarm is triggered as well as how long an individual record is preserved.

Pre-alarm record time: This sets the length of time showing events prior to a motion detection or sensor-triggered event that is included in the record.

Post-alarm record: Sets the length of time - from 10 to 60 seconds - that is added to the record after the event is finished.

Expire time: The time - up to 60 days - that an event is saved on the drive before it could be overwritten (See Recycle Record below).

Recycle Record Tab

This is selected by default. Recycle record allows the DVR to record over old events when the hard drive is full. Otherwise, the DVR will stop recording when there is no more space available.

4.4 SCHEDULE CONFIGURATION

Your DVR is configured to record whenever motion is detected. If this is your desired setting then you will not need to make any changes. However, you may configure each channel to record at specific times based on time of day, motion detection or other sensor input. There are three tabs; Schedule, Motion and Sensor

Schedule Tab

The schedule for automatic recording can be set either of two ways.

1. By highlighting individual hours for specific days by using the pencil tool in the upper right of the window. The adjacent eraser tool removes the highlighting in a block. Double click on either the pencil or eraser tool to turn them off. Settings can be copied and applied to any or all of the channels and to any other day.

SCHEDULES Monday Mode: Calendar Channel 1 20:00 24:00 00:00 12:00 16:00 20:00 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Apply Settings to Edit Channel Copy Double-click and setup schedule Default Apply Exit

PICTURE 4-19

1. Blocks of time to be recorded can also be set up by double clicking on a field adjacent to a day. Multiple schedules can be created and saved with start and stop times down to the minute. These can then be applied to multiple days and cameras.

Schedules made in one mode can be altered in another mode.

PICTURE 4-20

Motion Tab

Motion detected during the highlighted hours will cause the DVR to start recording. Setup is similar to that used in Schedule above. The default mode is for 24/7.

Schematic Waveform Frequency 1 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 Apply Settings to: OK Cancel OK Cancel OK OK Cancel

PICTURE 4-21

Sensor Tab

This enables the DVR to record based on input from other sensors connected to the DVR. Like motion detection, it is default scheduled to be able to record at any time. It is also configured in the same manner as explained under Schedule.

PICTURE 4-22

4.5 NETWORK CONFIGURATION

The Network Configuration window is used to control how your DVR works in a networked environment. This section offers a brief overview of how to set up your DVR so that it can be remotely monitored from another computer on your network, over the Internet or from mobile wireless devices. Full, in-depth instructions on the functions and settings available in this window are presented in the Remote Monitoring Guide which is on the disk that came with your system or which can be downloaded from our website at www.Q-See.com/Support. The four tabs in this window are Network, Sub-Stream, Email and Other Settings. If you will only be monitoring the DVR from another computer on your network, you will only need to use the first three tabs.

It is important that your DVR is connected to your network router and that the router is powered on before proceeding.

This window displays the information on the DVR's local network and Internet addresses which will allow you to access the DVR on a network. As discussed in the Remote Monitoring Guide, you will use the local network address to access your system from the same wireless or intranet network that the DVR is connected to. When you are outside of that area, you will use the Internet address shown (see below) or the DDNS address that you will set up.

IMPORTANT! The majority of routers available on the market since 2008 have Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) capability, which allows the DVR to connect automatically to the network. Consult the Quick Networking Poster or the Remote Monitoring Guide before changing Network settings.

Network Tab

HTTP Port - This is the port the DVR will use to communicate through the router. When accessing the DVR remotely from the Internet, you will need to enter your network's remote IP address (obtained in the next step) in the address bar of an Internet Explorer window. For example: http://88.116.0.25

NETWORK Network Substream Email Other Settings HTTP Port 53 Server Port 600C Options to IP address automatically ✓ IP Address 127, 433, 301, 110 Subsea Mask 255, 202, 255, 100 Gateway 127, 433, 301, 110 Preferred DNS Server 839, 433, 301, 110 Alternate DNS Server 127, 433, 301, 110 PPPoE User Name Password Test Default Apply Exit

PICTURE 4-23

NOTE! The default value is 85. If port 85 is already occupied by another device on the network, then another port will need to be selected. Choose another number in the same range; 81-89. In this case, you will have to add the port to the IP address when entering it into the Internet Explorer window. For example, if the port is now 82, then you will need to enter http://88.116.0.25:82

Obtain IP Address Automatically – Clicking this box will obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP from the router.

PPPOE - Selecting this enables Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) which allows you to directly connect your DVR to the Internet through your modem. Do not use this unless you are connected to a modem instead of a router. Contact your ISP for your account information including user name and password. The TEST button will verify that your information is correct.

Definitions and descriptions of network configuration:

Parameter Definition
HTTP Port The	network port number for accessing the DVR from a remote location,The default port is 85
Server Port The	port number for data. The default port is 6036
Static IP
IP Address The	IP address of the DVR on your network
Subnet Mask The server's subnet mask
Gateway The gateway of the router
DNS Server The	address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server
PPPoE
User Name User	name of the broadband account
Password Password for broadband account

Substream Tab

The substream is the data that is sent to remote monitoring devices. Due to bandwidth concerns, these data streams are generally smaller than those sent directly to the DVR itself. These streams run in parallel with the main stream sent to the hard drive and they do not affect each other.

Substream settings are configured in the same manner as that used for the primary stream settings in the Record Bitrate tab in Section 4.3 Certain settings will be grayed out and cannot be changed due to throughput concerns. The definitions are repeated for your convenience:

PICTURE 4-24

Parameter Options What It Means
Resolution CIF		CIF = 352 x 240 pixels. Only this resolution is available in the substream.
FPS 1-30		Frames per second. More frames makes for smoother video but may not be possible due to bandwidth.
Encode VBR, CBR		Variable Bit Rate versus Constant Bit Rate. VBR provides better image quality for video with motion in It, but at the expense of a larger file size.
Quality	Lowest - Highest	Only available when VBR is selected. The higher the quality, the more drive space required. CBR's default setting is for higher quality.
Max Bitrate	256-2084kbps	This sets the maximum bitrate that each camera will record at with VBR encoding selected.

Email Tab

This tab allows you to set how your DVR will send out e-mail alerts. You will be able to send e-mail alerts to three addresses.

NOTE! Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a dedicated e-mail address specifically for the system to send alert notices. If you do not have your own e-mail system (such as a corporate mail server) you should consider using a free e-mail provider. However, because many free e-mail services allow only a limited amount of e-mail traffic we specifically recommend using Google's

Gmail service with its higher limit. Similarly, you will want the alert emails to go to a different account than the one sending them. This will case your management of these alerts and help keep your mail account from overflowing.

If you do not have your own e-mail system, please set up a free account which the DVR can use to send out alerts before proceeding.

For the example below, we will use Gmail. The settings can be found under Options when logged into your Gmail account.

Clicking on any of the fields will bring up the virtual keyboard allowing you to enter the data. The virtual keyboard is capable of handling upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and symbols. Click the ENTER button to enter your input or ESC to exit the field without applying any changes.

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com

Port: 465 (standard port for Gmail - others may vary)

SSL Check: You will need to select this for Gmail. Other ISPs may vary.

Send Address: Enter your new address. This will appear on alert emails sent from the DVR

Password: Enter the password you created for this account. Remember, it will be case-sensitive.

Receive Addresses: You may set up to three e-mail addresses to receive alerts. It is strongly advised that you do not use the same address that the DVR is using to send alerts.

Advanced

Attaching Image Amount: The alert emails can include up to three images

Snap Time Interval: The interval of the images can range from every second to every five seconds.

PICTURE 4-25

Other Settings

Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. When they do, you will lose the ability to remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-of-network device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DONS). This will give you a domain name that can be linked to your IP address and will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote connections to your network when the IP address changes.

Q-See offers DDNS for free at MyQ-See.com. Create a domain name, user name and password before proceeding. DynDNS.com also offers a similar free service. This is covered in-depth in the Remote Monitoring Guide.

Select the box in the DDNS field to enable DDNS. You will then enter the user name, domain name and password you created into the appropriate fields. You can also select the interval in days at which the DDNS checks to see whether your IP address has changed. Intervals range from every 30 minutes to once a day.

BACKUP

CHAPTER 5

This DVR supports backing up files to USB flash drives, USB hard drives and USB DVD burners through the USB port on the front panel. Remote backups can be performed over the Internet. Refer to Section 2.4 Remote Backup in the Remote Monitoring Guide.

NOTE! External USB hard drives used for backing up data will need to be in the FAT32 format. Most new drives will need to be reformatted before use with this DVR.

FORMATTING A USB DRIVE IN FAT32

To format a USB flash drive with FAT32, plug it into a PC running Windows XP or later. Go to My Computer to locate the drive's icon. Right click on it and select Format in the list of available options. Select FAT32 and check the box marked Quick Format before clicking Start.

For USB drives over 32GB in size, you should use a FAT32 format utility such as those available through CNET.com.

BACKING UP A FILE

Selecting BACKUP in the Main Menu will open the Backup configuration window.

The search for files to backup is much like the method used to search for files to play back as was covered in the previous chapter.

Set the start and end times as well as channel(s) you wish to back up. Clicking the Search button will bring up the search results in the Data Backup list box.

Save File Type: Choose between DVR and AVI. The former will save the video in a proprietary format while the latter will create a standard .avi file usable by most media playback software. If you choose the DVR format, you need to select the Desktop Player option (see Picture 5-2) as well. This will save a stand-alone playback program in a separate folder labeled Video Play on the same drive.

Clicking on the Start button will begin the backup and the progress bar will display the progress.

Windows PC - You may play AVI formatted files using Windows Media Player, QuickTime, DIVXplayer or other media players. The files can be opened and played in a similar manner to any other media file. You may need to download and install the K-Lite Codec as described above.

The Superplay.msi program is a PC-only application and is saved onto the same drive as video files when the Backup Player option is selected. Launch the software in the normal manner and then click on Open Path and navigate to the folder containing the video files and select the file you wish to play back.

Apple Macintosh - At this time, you must use the Remote Backup feature to save the file to your computer through the remote viewing software. See Section 2.4 of the Remote Monitoring Guide for instructions on this process.

You MUST select the AVI format when backing up the video file for playback on a Mac computer. You can use the QuickTime player or other video player and open the video file in the normal manner.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Audio

If you have recorded audio with the video file that you wish to back up, you MUST select the .DVR format for your file. You will also need to ensure that the box next to Desktop Player is selected as well. If you are sharing the video with anyone, such as law enforcement, the player will allow them to hear the audio along with seeing the video. You may also use the player to convert the file to the more conventional .AVI format and the audio tracks will be included in the video. Please note that files backed up via a Macintosh computer will not retain audio.

Locking the file

In situations where the video file is to be used as evidence, we recommend locking the file first as described in Section 4.8 File Search, Playback and Management. This can be done either locally on the DVR, or remotely through your mobile device or computer. Please see the Remote Monitoring Guide for instructions on performing this function away from the DVR. Once it has been locked, it cannot be erased or overwritten unless the entire hard drive is reformatted.

PICTURE 6-11

Firmware upgrades are available from Q-See at www.Q-See.com/Support and may be found by looking up your specific model. Firmware should only be upgraded to fix a specific problem or add features as ongoing development may result in features being removed,

The firmware download should be loaded onto an empty USB flash drive from the downloading computer and then transferred to the DVR using a USB port.

IMPORTANT! Please make note of your settings before updating the firmware on a QT426 or QT446 as the upgrade process will restore factory defaults. Other models will retain their user settings.

NOTE! While a Macintosh computer can read and write to a drive in the FAT32 format, it cannot reformat a USB flash drive to that standard. We suggest that you use a PC to reformat your USB flash drive to FAT32 and it is recommended that you download firmware updates on a PC. Beginning with version 3.1.71, you can use the Upgrade feature in the Remote Monitoring software (see Section 2.5 of the Remote Monitoring Guide) to upgrade without a USB flash drive.

WARNING! Updating the firmware incorrectly or using the wrong update can permanently damage the chipset on the DVR and render it unusable. Updates are written to either resolve issues or add features to the DVR. If you are not experiencing performance issues or do not need a feature added by we recommend not running the update.

6.5 LOGOFF

Logging out of the DVR is recommended when there are multiple users or when physical access to the DVR is not restricted. Clicking on the Logoff icon will bring up a window asking for confirmation.

After logging off, a user can log back in by clicking on the Menu icon and entering their user name and password.

6.6 SHUT DOWN

This is a "soft power down" of the DVR. It shuts down the firmware and hard drive, but does not power down the DVR itself.

WARNING! It is vital that the DVR be instructed to shut down using the Shut Down menu option prior to unplugging the device in order to avoid damaging the firmware or hard drive itself.

PAN/TILT/ZOOM CAMERAS

CHAPTER 7

7.1 CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA

All QT-Series DVRs can support one or more Pan/Tilt/Zoom, or PTZ cameras. These cameras connect to the DVR through the same ports as a conventional camera, but the control wires connect through the RS485 block on the back of the DVR. Picture 7-1, below, is only a representation and your actual connector may look different. Please consult Chapter 2

Connections and Controls to find the diagram representing your model for the location of your connector block.

The RS485 connector uses a single-direction protocol meaning that it can send commands out to the camera(s) but not receive any data back from the unit meaning that video images will be delivered through the video cable as with any other camera.

The DVR is set by default for RS485 to be disabled for each channel. Therefore, PTZ settings must be enabled before PTZ cameras can be utilized. This system supports 26 of the most common protocols including Polco-D and Polco-P.

When connecting a PTZ camera, the following should be taken into account:

• The 485 port of this DVR cannot parallel connect with the 485 port of another device
- The voltage between the A and B lines of the camera should be less than 5V.

RS-485
STEP 1. The data cable from the PTZ camera must be connected to the ports highlighted in Picture 7-1. Multiple PTZ cameras can be connected to this port, but you may require an expander port to do so.
STEP 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the camera
STEP 3. Connect the camera video and power cables as you would any other camera.

ALARMS

CHAPTER 8

Many QT Series DVRs feature connections for external alarms – both input and output. Please consult Chapter 2 Connections and Controls to determine whether your model includes this feature and where the connection block is located. The alarm connector block shown in Picture 8-1 is only a representation and your actual connector may look different.

When an event is detected the system can notify local users or send notification to a monitoring service. At the same time, the system can accept signals from motion detectors, smoke detectors or other alarms and begin recording based on that input and your settings. You will need to have the manual for your alarm(s) handy to ensure the proper settings within the DVR.

8.1 ALARM INPUT

When attaching alarms, the following criteria must be met:

1. The alarm input must be grounded.
2. A grounding signal is required for the alarm input
3. When connecting the DVR to another device - including another DVR - through the alarm input, a relay should be used to separate them.

8.3 ALARM CONFIGURATION

Alarm configuration allows the DVR to begin recording based on input from other remote sensors such as infrared motion detectors or contact alarms which are connected to it. There are five submenus; Sensor, Motion, Video Loss, Other, and Alarm Out.

SENSOR

In this window you can setup optional external sensors to cause the DVR to begin recording. There are three tabs in this window: Basic, Alarm Handling and Schedule.

Basic Tab

This allows you to enable the input from attached sensors. You can also identify the sensors by name for ease in determining location.

Set the alarm type according to whether the alarm is NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed). See your alarm's manual for details. Alarms can be individually configured or globally set using the All button.

MOTION

Motion Tab

As with the Alarm function above, it incorporates hold time and can trigger procedures. Select which cameras you wish to start recording on motion detection. Set the holding time which determines the length of time the cameras continue recording after motion stops.

In the Trigger setting, you can set multiple channels to record when motion is detected by a camera that has been set to activate upon motion detection.

For example: If Camera 1 detects motion, you can have it trigger Cameras 2 and 3 to begin recording as well.

In addition, the user can set the sensitivity of certain areas within the field of view by clicking on the Select button selecting the Area field for the respective camera.

Specific areas can be made sensitive by applying a blue grid to the desired section of the screen. The blue grid can be applied to the entire screen - signifying that the entire field of view is sensitive - by clicking on the star button. The trash can button will remove the grid completely. Click and drag with the mouse on the screen to draw or erase the grid in select areas.

PICTURE 8-8

As sensitivity is influenced by color and light level, you can adjust its values according to your specific conditions. The default value is "4." A setting of "6" is most sensitive while a setting of "1" is minimally sensitive.

Right-clicking in the screen will show or hide the control menu at the bottom of the screen.

Test your settings by moving something or someone through the grid area in the camera's view. Motion should not be detected outside of this area but you should see a yellow humanoid figure appear in the screen once the DVR detects movement within the grid. Removing the grid where there is a flag or trees that frequently move in the wind will prevent false alerts. Click on the Disk button to save your settings before exiting the setup process by clicking on the X button.

ALARM OUT

Set how the alarms are handled and transmitted in this window. This controls any device attached to the ALARM OUT port on the back of the DVR. There are three tabs; Alarm Out, Schedule and Buzzer.

Alarm Out Tab

You can set the relay alarm out name as well as the hold time. Hold time is the interval between consecutive alarm activations so multiple events within the interval will not cause the alarm to sound again.

PICTURE 8-13

Schedule Tab

The default setting is for the ALARM OUT to be active all the time, but this can be changed to meet your particular requirements in a similar manner to Schedule in SECTION 4.4.

Buzzer Tab

As with the Alarm Out hold time, the internal buzzer can be enabled and given a hold time.

HARD DISK DRIVE

CHAPTER 9

Your DVR uses a standard desktop or 3.5" SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk drive and will support drives up to 2TB (terabytes). These drives are the current industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your DVR, your hard drive may already be installed. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this DVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user. A 5400RPM drive will work but a 7200RPM drive is recommended for optimal performance.

It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case besides the battery and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case. Such damage will not be covered.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!

The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so can result in damage to the DVR or its components as well as injury or death.

9.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL

It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk of static discharge which can damage electronic components.

Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the steps are largely the same:

STEP 1. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
STEP 2. Remove screws (the number will vary depending on your model) from the side and rear of your DVR as indicated in Picture 9-1

Remove Screws VIAO 2017 VIAO 2018 VIDEO IN

PICTURE 9-1

STEP 3. Remove the case by sliding it backwards and then lifting off.

STEP 3A. If removing a hard drive, you will need to unscrew the four drive mounting screws at the bottom of the DVR or on the internal mounting rack.

Hoise for Hand Disk Drive Mounting Screws

PICTURE 9-2

STEP 4. Connect the power and data cables. Press firmly, but do not force them onto the pins or you may damage them. The connectors are "keyed" to ensure they are connected in the proper position.

STEP 5. Attach hard drive to the base of the DVR with screws using the four mounting holes.

STEP 6. Replace the DVR cover and secure.

9.2 CALCULATING THE RECORDING CAPACITY OF A HARD DRIVE

While the physical data capacity of a hard drive is fixed, how much video you can record upon it depends on your recording configurations. Higher quality recordings will take up more space on the drive and setting the DVR to record for more frequently will fill it up more rapidly.

To determine the optimal capacity for your purposes, the chart below to estimate the size of hard drive that you'll need.

VIDEO FORMAT	RESOLUTION FRAME RATE (PPS)		VIDEO QUALITY	BIT RATE (bps)	SPACE USED (Mb/h)
NTSC/PAL	CIF 30/25 Highest	1000k 465
			Higher 768k 297
			Medium 512k 230
			Lower 256k 115
			Lowest 128k 56
	D1	30/25	Highest	2M	912
			Higher 1.5M	512
			Medium 1M	468
			Lower 768k 300
			Lowest 512k 244
	D1	7.5/6	Highest	500k	228
			Higher 375k 128
			Medium 250k 117
			Lower 192k 75
			Lowest 128k 61
	1080P 30/25 Highest	48M	5400
			Higher	36M	4052
			Medium	28M	3152
			Lower	16M	1800
			Lowest	6M	676
		7.5/6	Highest	12M	1350
			Higher	9M	1013
			Medium 7M	788
			Lower	4M	450
			Lowest 1.5M	169

The formula for calculating the required disk space is:

Total Recording Capacity = Used space per hour (MB/h) x Recording time (hour) x number of channels

Example: A customer is using the NTSC format (30 frames per second), CIF resolution with video quality set to Lowest and a total of 16 Channels. He wants the unit to record continuously for a month. Therefore, the calculation will look like this:

56(MB/h), x 24 (hours/day) x 30 (days) x 16 (channels) = 645,120MB or 650GB

Installing a 750GB SATA hard drive should provide enough space for one month's continuous recording time at those settings.

A.3 RACK MOUNTING

The QT446, QT4332, QT4532, QT518, QT5116 and QT536 all use 2U cases and include brackets and screws allowing them to be secured in a standard server rack or server cabinet. These DVRs are designed for horizontal mounting only.

The DVR must rest on a shelf sufficient to hold its weight. The included mounting brackets are only intended to keep the system from shifting and they are not sufficient to suspend the DVR alone. You will also need to provide bolts to attach the brackets to the rack.

Two mounting brackets and four screws are contained in the accessory box that accompanied your DVR. Some brackets will have three holes but only two screws are required to mount the bracket to the DVR.

The flanges to secure the DVR to the rack should be towards the front.

The DVR must have sufficient support when installed. The brackets are only to keep the DVR from moving. Ensure that all four holes on the two mounting brackets line up with holes in the rack.

If you will have limited access to the back of the DVR, it is best to make sure that all cameras and other cable connections on the back of the DVR are secure before bolting the brackets to the rack.
