5. Operation
a) Power ON
Before turning power ON make sure the HDD has been locked, and the power LED is red. After pressing the
POWER button, the POWER LED will turn to orange and all the other LEDs will turn RED, except the LED for HDD.
The screen will display "HDD Detecting" ; power on period will be approx. 5 to 15 seconds. If HDD is set as master,
the screen will display "HDD Master Connect". If HDD is set as slave, the screen will display "HDD Slave Connect".
In order to shorten the power on running time, we suggest setting the HDD as master (by means of the jumper on the
HDD itself). When the
DVR1A
has powered on completely, the POWER LED will turn to green.
b) Recording
Your
DVR1A
offers a variety of flexible recording modes. You can set it up to record continuously or programmed, or
only to record events ; you can even set the recording speed and resolution. All these options are set through the
system menu. If there should be a power cut during recording, the device will automatically resume recording when
the power returns. The original recording set-up will be respected.
There are 4 recording modes for your device: alarm recording mode, external trigger recording mode, programmed
recording mode and manual recording mode. All recording modes are described here:
1) Alarm Recording
When the
DVR1A
receives an alarm input, it will start to record immediately. The recording speed & quality will be as
set in the alarm recording mode set-up.
The screen will be as displayed on the right.
A = alarm trigger

OW = HDD overwrite
32GB = if the OW location shows 32GB, it means that there is
32GB recording capacity left on the HDD.
2) External Trigger Recording
The
DVR1A
can be programmed to start recording when it receives a trigger from an external device. When a 'REC
START' command is received (RS232 pin 6), the recording will start. The recording speed and quality will be as set in
the recording mode set-up.
The screen will be as displayed on the right.
