Maintenance and Cleaning
The product is maintenance-free.
Before cleaning the product, disconnect it from the power supply (unplug the mains plug).
Then, wait for at least 30 seconds until the magnetic disks in the hard drive have come to a

Getting Started
Set-up
• Select a suitable installation location. This location should be a place where the digital re-
corder is protected from unauthorised access.
• Protect the digital recorder from direct sunlight and heat. The cooling of the digital recorder
and the installed hard drive takes place via air convection. Never cover the digital recorder, do
not place any other devices or objects on it.
• For example, if the digital recorder is installed in a cabinet, a suitable cooling system is
required in order to avoid heat accumulation.
• Keep in mind that the digital recorder must not be exposed to vibrations or agitations, other-
wise the hard drive will be damaged. All previous recordings will be lost.
Connection
• Connect the BNC video inputs to your surveillance cameras. Depending on the version of the
digital recorder, 4, 8 or 16 inputs are available.
• You can connect a surveillance monitor either to the BNC video output or to the VGA output.
In 8 - and 16-channel digital video recorder also has an HDMI-compatible video output.
• Connect the USB mouse enclosed to one of the USB ports.
• Insert batteries into the IR remote control.
• Connect the digital recorder with the circular low-voltage plug of the power adaptor provided.
Connect the power adaptor to a standard mains socket, using the Euro-power cable sup-
plied. The digital recorder performs a self-test (approx. 10 seconds) and afterwards, it is
operational.
Do not move the product with an installed hard drive when the latter is in operation.
Movement during operation may cause the write/read heads in the hard drive to
make contact with the magnetic disk. This may not only lead to data loss but may
also damage the hard drive!
The same applies to the 30-second period after the digital recorder has been
switched off, until the magnetic discs in the hard drive have come to a complete
stop.

There 3 different options to enter the OSD menu:
1. Right-click with the mouse and select the bottom menu point “Main Menu”.
2. Press the button “Menu/Enter” on the IR remote control.
3. Press the “

“88888888” as user name.
The selection can be done either via USB mouse or via arrow keys “
S
” or “

” on the
digital recorder or the IR remote control.
Click into the input field to the right of “Password” using the USB mouse, or briefly press the “

button on the digital recorder or the IR remote control.
Now enter the password either with the IR remote control or via numerical key “8” or “6” on the

mouse), the OSD menu will be started.
Formatting the hard disk
During initial start-up, the installed hard drive has to be formatted in the setting menu of the
digital recorder. This will result in the loss of all data stored on the hard drive.
Without formatting the hard drive, you won’t be able to record video footage from the connected
surveillance cameras.
Please observe the manufacturer’s English instruction manuals.
