Introduction 1 Introduction Features Your color digital video recorder (DVR) provides recording capabilities for 4 camera inputs. It provides exceptional picture quality in both live and playback modes, and offers the following features: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Rev 3.
Introduction Figure 1-1 Typical DVR Installation Multi-screen Monitor VGA Monitor Sensors 1–4 1–4 cameras VGA Spot Siren Audio input 1–4 Alarm output Audio output Digital Video Recorder Flashing light Internal CD-RW ATM/POS USB backup device Technical Overview Your DVR can replace both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation. However, it has many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than even the most advanced VCR.
Introduction The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full or it can be set up to record over the oldest video after the disk is full. Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter video. You can view live video, search for images, and control your DVR remotely by connecting via external modem or Ethernet. You can use the USB port to copy video clips to USB-IDE hard disk drives, USB CD-RW drives, or flash drives. Rev 3.03 3 Document 900.

Installation Figure 2-1 DVR Rear Panel Video in Video out SVHS out Alarm in CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN ! CAUTION:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
Installation Note The Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do not connect a cable to the Loop BNC unless it is connected to another terminated device because it will cause poor quality video. Connecting Audio Note It is your responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio. Figure 2-4 AUDIO IN 1 Audio In and Out Connectors AUDIO IN 2 AUDIO IN 3 AUDIO IN 4 AUDIO OUT Your DVR can record audio. 1. Connect the audio source to Audio In. 2.
Installation Setting Unit for CVBS (SVHS) or VGA Output Figure 2-5 CVBS (SVHS) VGA Switch CVBS SVHS VGA Set the switch to CVBS (SVHS) or VGA for monitor output. Select CVBS (SVHS) for a spot monitor or VGA for an RGB monitor. Make sure you set the CVBS (SVHS) or VGA selector switch before turning on the DVR. You cannot change the setting while the unit is running. Rev 3.03 Note The DVR may not support some LCD monitors. Also, some monitors do not support Multi Sync.
Installation Connecting the Monitor Connecting the Spot Monitor Figure 2-6 Video Out Connectors VIDEO OUT SVHS OUT Connect the Spot Monitor to either the Video Out or SVHS Out connector. Note For Spot Monitor output, set the CVBS (SVHS) VGA selector to CVBS (SVHS) (see Figure 2-5). If your monitor has an SVHS input, use it to give you better quality video display. Note The Video Out (BNC) and the SVHS Out connectors may be connected to individual monitors for simultaneous operation.
Installation Note For RGB Monitor output, set the CVBS (SVHS) VGA selector switch to VGA (see Figure 2-5). Connecting to the Network Port Figure 2-8 Network Connector NETWORK The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a CAT5 cable with an RJ45 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.
Installation Note The DVR is not supplied with a modem cable, and many modems are not supplied with cables. Make certain you have the correct cable when purchasing the modem. Factory Reset Figure 2-10 Factory Reset Switch RS - 232C Factory reset switch The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the right of the RS232C connector. This switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the original factory default settings.
Installation Note 5. When the DVR successfully resets to factory defaults all the LEDs on the front panel flash three times. Release the reset switch. All of the DVR settings are now at the original settings it had when it left the factory. Connecting Alarms Figure 2-11 Alarm Input Connector Strips AI1 AI2 AI3 AI4 GND ARI To make connections on the Alarm Connector Strip: 1. Press and hold the button. 2. Insert the wire in the hole below the button. 3.
Installation ARI (Alarm Reset In) An external signal to the Alarm Reset In (ARI) can be used to reset both the Alarm Out signal and the DVR internal buzzer. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the ARI (Alarm In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold voltage is below 0.3V and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected. Connect the wires to the ARI (Alarm Reset In) and GND (Ground) connectors.
Installation Connecting to the USB Port Figure 2-14 USB Connector USB Use the USB port to connect external hard disk drives, CD-RW drives, or flash drives for archiving video. 1. Position the external hard disk drive close enough to the DVR so that you can make the cable connections, usually less than 6 feet (1.83 m). 2. Use the USB cable provided with the hard disk drive or CD-RW to connect it to the DVR.
Installation WARNING! Route power cords so 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 into one circuit. Your DVR is now ready to operate. See Chapter 3, Configuration and Chapter 4, Operation. Rev 3.
