2.     Connect the ground terminal on the back of the Encoder to an 
earth ground. Refer to local codes for proper grounding.

Step 3. Install a monitor, mouse, power

For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo for the location of 
connectors. 
1.     Install and setup your monitor in accordance with the instructions 
provided with the monitor. Do not power it on at this time. 
2.     Cable the HDMI or VGA connector to your monitor’s VGA or HDMI 
input. The HDMI interface provides the best performance.
3.     Plug the mouse into the USB connector on the front or back of the 
Encoder. 
4.     Plug a drop cable from your local area network (LAN) into the RJ45 
LAN connector on the back of the Encoder.
5.     Connect the power cord to the power connector on the back panel 
of the encoder, and then into a UPS (recommended) or surge protector.

Step 4. Install cameras

Install your security cameras. Always follow the installation instructions 
provided with the camera.

Step 5. Connecting it together – initial system setup

1.     Plug the coaxial cables from the cameras into the BNC camera 
input connectors on the back of the Encoder.
2.     Power on your cameras.
3.     Power on the Encoder using the power on / off switch on the back 
panel. 
4.     Power on the monitor.

Note: 

Some monitors have multiple inputs including VGA, HDMI, 

BNC, etc. If you are using this kind of monitor, configure your monitor to 
display the input connected to your Encoder (HDMI or VGA). 

Step 6. Using the Wizard for basic configuration setup

Power on the Encoder. Normally, a DIGIOP logo splash screen appears 
within two minutes. 

The default password is Digiop123

Important notes for using Wizard:

When configuring the encoder, consider the following:
•     

Password

When logging into the Encoder for the first time, create a 

“Strong” administrator user password. Follow the on-screen instructions 
and save this password, and the GUID file created by the firmware in a 
secure location. 
•     

Date and Time:

 Set the time zone, date and time correctly. 

•     

Network Settings:

 

By default, the recorder acquires its network 

settings using DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol). Depending 
on the network, these settings may change. To easily change the DHCP 
acquired network settings to fixed network settings, un-check the 

Enable 

DHCP 

option in the network setup menu, and then click Apply. 

Step 7. Access the Menu System

After the initial setup of your Encoder using the Wizard, the Menus 
interface enables you to refine your configuration settings and expand 
the functionality of the system. To use most menus, the user must log 
into the firmware system, either locally or remotely, with administrative 
privileges. To open the Menu system from the Live View screen, right 
click anywhere in the screen, then click 

Menu

Installing the System

Step 1. Getting Started: Unpacking the Equipment

What’s in the box

Your system includes: 
 

• DIGIOP HD16 Series encoder

 

• USB mouse

 

• HDMI cable

 

• Power adapter for Encoder

 

• Ethernet cable

Remove the equipment from its packaging and place it on a flat, clean 
surface. Inspect each item. If any visible damage is present, contact 
your supplier for a replacement. Verify that your order is complete. 

What you need

Although each security system installation is different, most require the 
following items not included with your system components:
 

• Cameras and cables compatible with the encoder. The Video  

 

Input ports on the back panel support most analog CCTV  

 

camera brands and HD-TVI, AHD and 960H analog  

 

 

cameras (up to 2MP cameras.)

 

• Tools to install the cameras and route power, video and  

 

audio cables

 

• Fasteners to attach the cameras to the mounting surfaces,  

 caulking.
 

• VGA or HDMI compatible computer monitor to connect to  

 

the Encoder (An HDMI cable is provided.)

 

• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended. This  

 

device is used to ensure system stability during voltage    

 

surges, sags, and outages. If a UPS is not available, a power  

 

strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended.

Step 2. Install the Encoder

For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo above for the 
location of the connectors.
1.     Place the Encoder in a location that is secure, well ventilated and 
clean.  The Encoder should be positioned such that the back panel 
connectors are accessible and the ventilation holes on the sides are 
not blocked. 

If ID Authentication is not disabled (see the 
Menu | Configuration | General settings), a 
login window will open. In the Login 
window, select a User Name with adminis-
trative privileges, enter its password, then 
Click OK. A window of Menu icons will open.
