Technical Overview

In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation, your DVR has many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than even the most advanced VCR.

The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost instantaneously: there is no need to rewind tape. The technology also allows you to view recorded video while the DVR continues recording video.

⑥ Factory Reset Switch

Your DVR can be used with either NTSC or PAL equipment.

NOTE: You cannot mix NTSC and PAL equipment. For example you cannot use a PAL camera and an NTSC monitor.

Operation Instruction

Audio In/Out

Your DVR can record audio from up to four sources. Connect the audio sources to Audio In 1, Audio In 2, Audio In 3 and Audio In 4 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect Audio Out to your amplifier.

NOTE: It is the user's responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio.

The DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you will need a speaker with an amplifier. The DVR does not have a pre-amplifier for audio input, so the audio input should be from an amplified source, not directly from a microphone.

Alarm Input/Output

NOTE: To make connections on the Alarm Connector Strip, press and hold the button and insert the wire in the hole below the button. After releasing the button, tug gently on the wire to make certain it is connected. To disconnect a wire, press and hold the button above the wire and pull out the wire.

Alarm In 1 to 8: You can use external devices to signal the DVR to react to events. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the Alarm In and GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold voltage of electrical switches for NC (Normally Closed) is above 2.4V and for NO (Normally Open) is below 0.3V, and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected. The voltage range of alarm input is from 0V to 5V. See Chapter 3 - Configuration for configuring alarm input.

GND (Ground): Connect the ground side of the Alarm input and/or alarm output to the GND connector.

NOTE: All the connectors marked GND are common.

NO (Normally Open): Connect the device to the COM and NO (Normally Open) connector. NO is a relay output which sinks 1A@30VDC. See Chapter 3 - Configuration for configuring alarm output.

Connector Pin Outs:

Alarm In (1 to 8)	Alarm Inputs 1 to 8
GND	Chassis Ground
COM	Relay Common
NO	Relay Alarm Out (Normally Open)

RS485 Port

The DVR can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. The RS485 connector can also be used to control

Network Port

The DVR can be networked using the 10Mlb/100Mlb/1Gb Ethernet connector. Connect a Cat5 cable with an RJ-45 jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a computer for remote monitoring, searching, configuration and software upgrades. See Chapter 3 - Configuration for configuring the Ethernet connections.

CAUTION: The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire intended for outdoor use.

Video Out

A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to the DVR.

An HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector is provided so that you can use an HDMI monitor as your main monitor.

NOTE: Connect the monitor before the DVR boots so that video can be displayed on the monitor with the resolution you have set during system setup. If you want to use both the HDMI and VGA Monitor connectors, one of the monitors should be connected before the DVR boots, and the other monitor should be connected after the DVR boots.

Factory Reset Switch

The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the left of the HDMI connector on the rear panel. This switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the original factory settings.

CAUTION: When using the Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have saved.

Operation Instruction

WARNING: ROUTE POWER CORDS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT A TRIPPING HAZARD. MAKE CERTAIN THE POWER CORD WILL NOT BE PINCHED OR ABRADED BY FURNITURE. DO NOT INSTALL POWER CORDS UNDER RUGS OR CARPET. THE POWER CORD HAS A GROUNDING PIN. IF YOUR POWER OUTLET DOES NOT HAVE A GROUNDING PIN RECEPTACLE, DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT BY PLUGGING TOO MANY DEVICES IN TO ONE CIRCUIT.

CAUTION: Ensure the DVR is not near any heat source that could cause overheating.

CAUTION: The DVR does not have an internal fan so leave a clearance of at least 6 inches near ventilation hole areas on each side panel of the unit for proper ventilation.

Your DVR is now ready to operate. Refer to Chapter 3 - Configuration and Chapter 4 - Operation.

Chapter 4 — Operation

NOTE: This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not, please refer to Chapters 2 and 3.

The DVR's controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing, and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.

Time Overlap

If the DVR's time and date have been reset to a time that is earlier than the existing recorded video, it is possible for the DVR to have more than one video stream in the same time range. In this case, you can search overlapping video streams individually by selecting a specific segment. For example, when the DVR has recorded video from one to five o'clock and the user changes the time backward from five to three o'clock and then continues recording until six o'clock, there will be two video streams and segments from three to five o'clock.

You can search overlapping video streams by selecting a specific time or time range. If you want to search recorded video at four o'clock during the overlapping time range using a search menu such as Go to the Date/Time, select the segment you want to search.

If you want to search recorded video from four to five o'clock during the overlapping time range using a search menu such as Event Log Search, Text-In Search or Motion Search, it is possible for the DVR to have two overlapping start and stop times. You will be asked to select one of the overlapping start and stop times from the search time ranges as follows:

• From four o'clock of the first segment to five o'clock of the first segment
• From four o'clock of the first segment to five o'clock of the second segment
• From four o'clock of the second segment to five o'clock of the second segment
