Part 1: Setting up the DVR Hardware

1.1 Layout of Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
AC POWER: Using the supplied power lead, connect this to a wall socket, using an extension lead if required. Uses
IEC13/14 connectors (this is the same plug that most desktop computers use).
VGA PORT: For the DVR to be connected to the LCD screen. A small VGA cable runs from the back of the LCD
screen, this should be plugged into the VGA connector.
LAN: Used to connect the DVR to a local area network. Use a standard networking cable if your network is
connected to a multi-port router or network switch/hub. Use a cross-over cable to connect the unit directly to a
computer. It uses standard Ethernet (cat5 or higher) networking cables (not included).
AUDIO IN: Connect to an active audio source, either built into a camera or a separate device. Requires a "line-level"
signal, connects using a standard RCA connector.
VIDEO IN: Connect your cameras to these inputs, in the order you would like to see them when you monitor multiple
channels (input 1 is shown in the top left of the screen in multi-view mode, and 4 in the bottom right). You can, if
required, send video signals into these inputs from any compatible video device.
USB: Can be connected to a USB mass storage device (such as a USB flash drive). You can easily backup recorded
images directly to the USB device without connecting the DVR to a computer. Also, you can use a USB device to
update the firmware for the DVR.
NOTE: The USB flash drive must be formatted with a "FAT32" file structure. See 4: Upgrading Firmware for
more information on how to do this.

1.2 Connecting Cameras to the DVR

The DVR will automatically detect what sort of cameras you have attached to it when it is turned on. Thus, it is
important that all cameras are attached correctly before the DVR is turned on! To attach your cameras correctly:
1.
Place your cameras in the desired locations.
2.
Ensure that your cameras are supplied power, using the correct power supplies.
3.
Attach the video cable from the camera to the DVR. The cameras will have either an RCA or coaxial cable,
and a BNC connector. To use the BNC connector correctly, push into the video input and twist to lock into
position. If your cameras have an RCA connector, use an RCA to BNC adaptor.
4.
If the camera is a model which monitors audio, attach the audio cable to the RCA connector marked "Audio
IN".
NOTE: The DVR has only one audio input. This means you should select the audio that you are recording carefully –
it's usually worth testing all available audio sources and choosing the one that gives the best results. If you really
need to record multiple audio sources simultaneously, consider using an external audio mixing console to record
multiple sources. This is optional and purchased separately.
1.3 Check VGA Connection
Though they are one unit, the LCD screen has a small VGA cable extending from the back of the monitor. This
should be attached to the VGA connector immediately to its right. Check that this is the case and re-attach the cable
if it has come loose in transport. This cable and connector are located outside the unit to allow for the connection of
other screens to the DVR (if required).

1.4 Connecting Power to the DVR

Using the supplied power cable (an IEC13 cable), attach to the AC POWER connection on the DVR. Plug the other
end of the cable into a wall socket. If there are no wall sockets nearby, use an extension cable. The DVR will turn
itself on as soon as power is connected.
SUGGESTION: To ensure the continual operation of the DVR during power failures, consider using a UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply). Doing so is optional and they are available separately.
