3. Installations
The installations described below should be made by qualified service personnel or system
installers.
3.1 Basic Connections
Please refer to the following diagram for the connections.
Please make sure to set the NTSC/PAL Selector Switch on the back panel
according to
the local TV system for the digital video/audio recorder to work correctly.
Cameras
Connect the camera video input connectors to the video outputs from system cameras or
other composite video sources via coaxial cables.
Main monitor
Connect the main monitor output connector (BNC or S-video) to a surveillance TV
monitor. The TV monitor displays selected live or recorded cameras in any available
split window format.
Hard disk drive(s)
Make sure to install at least one hard disk drive inside the hard disk tray. If there are two
HDDs, please set both HDDs as (1)
master
for two independent cables, (2)
master/slave
for one cable with two connectors, or (3)
cable select
. The settings should be described
on the HDDs or in the manuals come with the HDDs.
Note 1: Whether the upper HDD or the lower one is set as HDD#1 is fine for the system.
But it’s always a good habit to connect the upper one to HDD#1 cable or set it as
master
for one cable with two connectors.
