Chapter 2 GETTING STARTED Installation Guide Camera and Monitor Installation This manual will help you assemble and configure your digital video recorder system. It is easy to setup your digital video recorder just follow the instructions on pages 15 through 29 for your basic setup. If you have any comments questions about this manual, please feel free to call us at 800-335-9777. 1. Remove your monitor from the box for testing your cameras and cables. You can use a TV set with a video input if you don t have a monitor. Plug your monitor into a 110-120 AC power source. Do not mistake the antenna input on the TV for a VIDEO INPUT. Monitors and TV s have video inputs clearly marked. The TV RCA input will look some what like the image below (labeled VIDEO INPUT). This connector is an RCA female input jack. 2. Remove your cameras and camera power supplies from the box. Make sure your using power supplies that have a REGULATED POWER SUPPLY 12 VOLT OUTPUT (very important). Most power supplies have a label on the back that will tell you the type of output the power supply is capable of producing. If there is no label, DO NOT USE THE POWER SUPPLY. 15
NOTE: Unregulated power supplies are common and will damage your cameras. 3. Connect each one of your cameras to your regulated power supply and cable assembly. Most cable assemblies are 100 ft long or more. You will see all types of cable configurations here is one example of a cable below. 4. Connect each camera directly to the video monitor, using a new power adapter and cable for each camera. This will test each component of your video system. 16
5. Connect the digital video recorder to cameras. DMR1 and Camera Installation 17

RECORD SETTINGS In this section we will cover General Menu Settings to get you started. When you become more familiar with the DVR settings later, you can tailor your DVR. Your DVR can record video data from hours to months depending on the MENU SETTINGS. The key MENU SETTINGS are: 1. RECORD IPS 2. RECORD QUALITY 3. MOTION TRIGGER RECORD 4. MOTION DETECTION Let s not worry about setting the MENU at this time, but try to understand how to use the chart below. The chart below will help you decide what settings to choose from in RECORD IPS and RECORD QUALITY. Under the RECORD IPS (Images Per Second) you will have 6 options and 4 options in RECORD QUALITY to choose from: 1. IPS: 1. 25A 2. 15 3. 8 4. 4 5. 2 6. 1 2. RECORD QUALITY function you will have 4 options to choose from: 1. Best 2. High 3. Normal 4. Basic The RECORD QUALITY feature provides different levels of video quality depending on your application. Sometimes we are willing to give up on video quality to get more hours out of our digital video recorder. IPS is IMAGES PER SECOND or the number of pictures your digital video recorder will take in 1 second. A good example of IPS is to imagine your self taking 25 pictures with a digital camera of 24
some one walking across a room. If you laid out the 25 pictures, what you will have is a smooth flowing sequence of pictures of someone crossing a room. If you take out every other picture, you would have 12 pictures and a snap shot picture affect. The 12-pictured video is not considered to be real time. 25 to 15 images per second are considered to be real time and 12 to 1 will reduce the real time affect. It s very difficult to see the difference between 25 frames a second and 1 frame a second. One frame a second is pretty good video for most applications. Here is an example to further explain the chart below: Let s say we want to record for 7 days, that s 24 hour s a day times 7 = 168hr s. If we look at the chart we have four choices: 1. 180hr 2. 226hr 3. 192hr 4. 320hr If you like high quality video, then your choice would be 180hr. You would select 8 and BEST for entries for your RECORD IPS and RECORD QUALITY. If you would like a better flowing video, then your choice would be 192hr. You would select an IPS of 15 and RECORD QUALITY of NORMAL as your entries. Proceed on to RECORD IPS and RECORD QUALITY settings. 25

Continue with motion setup by going to ALARM DURATION and setting up recording time for motion detection. ALARM DURATION The MOTION trigger recording time will depend on ALARM DURATION mode setting and it will record from the last trigger time. Example 1: If you set the ALARM DURATION to 1 min, and motion is detected at 9:00:00. The recording time will be from 9:00:00 to 9:01:00. If the motion detection triggers again at 9:00:40 while still recording the triggered recording time will change from 9:00:00 to 9:00:40. The full recording time will be from 9:00:00 to 9:01:40.
