Precautions Power Supply 4-CH DVR uses DV 12V as its power source; 8-CH DVR uses DV 12V as its power source; 16-CH DVR uses standard ATX as its power source. Please confirm your voltage prior to the use of the DVR. If the DVR should not be used for a long time, the power would better be disconnected completely. And unplug the power cord from the electric outlet.
Safety If any solid or liquid gets into the DVR, please disconnect the power supply immediately. And it can be restarted only after checked by qualified technicians. The DVR is a sophisticated equipment, hence, in the event of any fault, the user should contact with distributors or ask for help from qualified technicians instead of repairing the DVR by the user himself.
Installation It should be installed horizontally. Pay attention to the earthing of the outer casing. Make sure a hard disk is installed in the initial installation. Please avoid the live opening of the case and the live replacement of hard disk. Hard disk at a high speed of 7200 revolutions per second is highly recommended. In order to prevent the DVR from overheating, please select the appropriate installation site of good ventilation. It can not be installed near heat source, such as radiator and air duct. Besides, it can not be installed in places which are of direct sunlight or excessive dust, and are prone to mechanical vibration and impact.

Chapter 1 About Product 1.1 Brief Introduction DVR of this series consists of digital monitoring equipments of high quality and precise positioning, which is specially designed for the field of security. It adopts embedded processor and embedded operating system, applies high-performance compressed coding and decoding chips and brings in the most advanced technical achievements in IT field, such as audio coding and decoding, large hard disk storage and TCP/IP network. It solidifies codes in flash, which makes the system more stable, pictures much clearer and functions more powerful. DVR of this series can be both used independently and connected to form a powerful network monitoring center. It has been widely used for security in banks at home and abroad, telecom, electric power, justice, transportation, residential areas, factories, warehouses and sectors of water resources. In addition, it plays an important role in household security system. Product of 8 circuits is taken as an example in this guidebook for detailed explanation and pictures used in this guidebook are also based on 8-circuit product. The operation of 4-circuit/16-circuit products can make a reference to this guidebook.

◎Obvious phenomenon of moire · Check if there is short circuit/open circuit, poor weld or poor connection of video cables. · Video cables are impacted by heavy current.
The wiring of video cables and the wiring of heavy current circuits should be mutually independent. Please use
high-quality shielded cables. · Only single-point earthing of host can be adopted in the whole system.
Multi-point grounding is not allowed. The earthing of DVR host should be done
through grounding screw on the back of host. · If there is any ageing phenomenon in camera/monitor/circuits.
◎Color distortion of real-time images and videos · If input/output video parameters are well tuned. · Check if there is any fault in connection.
◎Image distortion/screen tearing/colour cast in using computer monitor · Check if there is good common ground between VGA cables and DVR host. · The operating ambient temperature of DVR host may be too high, or the DVR host may be of poor heat dissipation, or parameters of corresponding circuits may - 83 -

Annex 2 Alarm Input End 8 circuits for alarm input, input type can be normal open or normal close; The grounding end of alarm detector (GND) should be parallel connected with com end (the alarm detector should be powered by the external power supply); The grounding end of alarm detector should be parallel connected with the earthing end of DVR; The NC end of alarm detector should be connected with alarm input end of DVR (ALARM); If it is needed to remotely reset triggered alarm, the power supply of DVR, which is DC 12V, should feed the alarm detector, such as smoke detector. When external power source is used to feed warning equipment, it should share common ground with DVR. Alarm input circuit
