ALARM OUT

Set how the alarms are handled and transmitted in this window. This controls any device attached to the ALARM OUT port on the back of the DVR. There are three tabs; Alarm Out, Schedule and Buzzer.

Alarm Out Tab

You can set the relay alarm out name as well as the hold time. Hold time is the interval between consecutive alarm activations so multiple events within the interval will not cause the alarm to sound again.

Schedule Tab

The default setting is for the ALARM OUT to be active all the time, but this can be changed to meet your particular requirements in a similar manner to Schedule in SECTION 4.4.

Buzzer Tab

As with the Alarm Out hold time, the internal buzzer can be enabled and given a hold time.

HARD DISK DRIVE

CHAPTER 9

Your DVR uses a standard desktop or 3.5” SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk drive and will support drives up to 2TB (terabytes). These drives are the current industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your DVR, your hard drive may already be installed. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this DVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user. A 5400RPM drive will work but a 7200RPM drive is recommended for optimal performance.

It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case besides the battery and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case. Such damage will not be covered.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!

The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so can result in damage to the DVR or its components as well as injury or death.

9.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL

It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk of static discharge which can damage electronic components.

Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the steps are largely the same:

STEP 1. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.

STEP 2. Remove screws (the number will vary depending on your model) from the side and rear of your DVR as indicated in Picture 9-1
