Q9: when DVR starts, it displays "please wait..." all the time

First option: hard-disk data cable is causing the problem.

Solution: shut down and unplug the DVR from the power, check the cables connected to the hard-disk are connected. If this does not solve the problem try using different cables.

The second possible reason: DVR is forced to stop because hard disk has disabled track which causes the system checking hard while the disk cannot skip. Solution: Change another new hard disk or reformat the HDD.

Q10: How to input password and digital numbers

The method to input password and digital numbers is to click the password box, and thenavirtual keyboard will appear. Select the desired character (the initial password is 123456). To add the password, use the digital keys in the front panel or the digital keys on the remote controller.

Q11: Why is the hard disk used in a DVR identified as a new hard disk if directly used to another same type DVR? And why must we format it again?

When DVR only uses one hard disk, the hard disk removed from one to another same type DVR can work normally without format. However, when a DVRadds to a new hard disk, it will identify the hard disk as a new one and inquire whether to format no matter whether this hard disk used or not in another same type DVR before. In this condition, it can be used normally after formatted according to the guide; if two or more hard disks used in different DVRs, when used in another DVR with the same type, they will be identified to be two or more new hard disks, and all of them need to format. In general, please do not try using disks removed from a different DVR because the data may be lost.

Appendix BCalculate Recording Capacity

Users can calculate the size of hard disk according to the saving time and DVR recording settings. The DVR uses fixed video bit rate. The below are the details at different settings.

Video Format	Resolution	Frame RateTotally(FPS)	Video Quality	Bit Rate(kbps)	Used Space(MB/h)
NTSC CIF	30		Highest	1M	465
			Higher	768k	297
			Medium	512k	230
			Low	384k	173
			Lower	256k	115
			Lowest	128k	56
PAL CIF 25			Highest	1M	466
			Higher	768k	295
			Medium	512k	235
			Low	384k	175
			Lower	256k	112
			Lowest	128k	56.4

The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity = Usedspace perhour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) × recording time (hour) × channel numbers (D1 resolution uses 4 times more space then CIF resolution)

For instance, one customer uses PAL cameras, set resolution to CIF, video quality to Lowest, frame rate to 25fps for enabling total 16 channels. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:

Total Recoding capacity =56.4(mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X16(channels)= 649728(MB)≈650(GB)

Therefore, customers just install two SATA HDDs with 320GB, it can almost record for one month.
