INSTALLATION AND

CHAPTER 2

CONNECTION

 

Please note that it is important to keep in mind common safety guidelines when installing your DVR or connecting additional devices – including turning off and unplugging your DVR before installing internal components.

POWER

The DVR’s power supply plugs into the DC power socket on the back of the DVR. It is absolutely essential that you only use the power supply that came with the DVR to ensure proper operation and to avoid damage.

We also recommend that you use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) so that the system will continue to operate in the event of a power loss. In addition, you should connect the DVR into a UL-1449 rated surge protector. It should have a joule rating of at least 400, a response time of 10 nanoseconds or less and a clamping voltage of no more than 330 volts.

Some models feature a power switch on the rear panel, while all models have a soft power switch on the front. For those models with a rear panel power switch, it must be flipped to the On position to start the DVR. The other models will power up as soon as they are plugged in.

When shutting down the DVR, it is essential that you do so by pressing and holding the soft power switch on the front until the DVR enters standby mode. Once the display goes blank, you may either flip the rear power switch to Off or unplug the DVR.

If you wish to restart the DVR from standby mode, then you may do so by pressing and holding the soft power switch again.

USB PORTS

With the exception of the Model QS464, the port on the front of the DVR is reserved for external USB drives - whether to back up saved files or to install a firmware upgrade. The USB mouse should be plugged into the port on the back of the DVR. The QS464 has dual USB ports on the front panel with the upper port used for the external drive and the lower port available for use by the mouse. The QS464 features a third USB port on the rear panel for use by the mouse should you prefer.

VIDEO DISPLAY

The DVR can output video to either a standard VGA monitor or television. The monitor is connected via a VGA monitor cable (not included) to the VGA port on the rear of the DVR. The television is connected to the BNC Video Out port on the DVR’s back panel through the use of the included BNC (Male) to RCA (Female) adapter (Picture 2-1) which

plugs into the RCA Video In port on the backPICTURE 2-1of the television.

Both displays may be used at the same time, however they will both show the same images and they cannot be combined. The mouse cursor will only appear on one screen at a time and this may be selected by rolling the mouse scroll wheel forward (VGA) or backwards (television).

The second display may be used as a “Spot” monitor in a location away from the DVR to allow another person to view, but not control, the system.

IMPORTANT! The default resolution of this DVR is 1024 x 768 pixels. Some monitors smaller than 19” may not display video properly.
