Step 1 - Installing the Hard Disk Drive
(Skip this step if your DVR comes with a hard disk drive
already installed)
CAUTION:
Do not open the cover when DVR is running!
Make sure the HDD is set to MASTER.
1. Remove the screws around the top cover.
2. Remove the top cover carefully.
3. Connect the power cord and data cable to the hard disk carefully. Ensure the jumper/s on the
hard disk is set to MASTER.
4. Use the provided screws to fix the hard disk onto the rack.
5. Then replace the cover on the case and fix it to the case.
Connect your cameras (1) to the
Video Input
sockets (CH1 - CH4) on the rear panel of the DVR
unit. If your camera has RCA male plugs, you will first need to fit the supplied BNC to RCA adaptors
to the
Video Input
sockets (2) and connect your camera(s) to each of these.
Connect a BNC to RCA adaptor to the
Monitor Output
connector
(3) on the back of the DVR,
then connect the
Male RCA Cable (a)
(*only one supplied) to this connector. Connect the other
end of the RCA cable to your
TV
or
Security Monitor’s
Video Input
socket
(4).
Make sure your monitor is on the appropriate AV input channel. If you have an
AV TV
with RCA
sockets, you will need to switch the
TV
to the
AV
channel on the
TV
to view the DVR.
This channel may be activated by a button on your remote control which is marked with this symbol
, or L1, L2 or possibly AV, AV1 or AV2.
Step 2 - Connecting your cameras
Step 3 - Connecting your DVR to your monitor
* To extend the operating distance from your TV or VCR you will need to purchase an A/V extension cable
(sold separately) which are available at most electronics stores.
Note
: We do not recommend extending the camera cable length past 330 Feet/100 metres with a single
cable run to avoid loss of signal.
Multiple cable sections connected to make up one cable length can drastically reduce the video signal run
distance.
