About This Document This document introduces the HRXD Series Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and describes how to install, configure, and operate the DVR. This guide covers the 9- and 16-channel HRXD Series DVRs. The DVRs are identical except for the number of cameras and alarms that can be connected and the number of cameras that can be displayed. For simplicity, the illustrations and descriptions in this guide refer to the 16-camera model.
• • • • Appendix H, Map of Screens, provides a graphical illustration of the menu screens. Appendix I, System Log Notices, lists all of the System Log notices. Appendix J, Error Code Notices, lists the system upgrade and clip copy Error Code notices. Appendix K, Specifications, lists the DVR specifications. Important Safeguards 1. Read Instructions All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. 2.
8. Power Cords Operator or installer must remove power, BNC, alarm, and other connections before moving the equipment. 9. Lightning For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges. 10.
17. Correct Batteries WARNING! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. 18. Operating Temperature An operating temperature range is specified (see Appendix K, Specifications) so that the customer and installer may determine a suitable operating environment for the equipment. 19.
Introduction 1 Introduction Features Your color digital video recorder (DVR) provides recording capabilities for nine or 16 camera inputs.
Introduction Technical Overview In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation, your DVR has many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than even the most advanced VCR. The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost instantaneously; there is no need to rewind tape.

Installation Figure 2-1 16-Channel DVR Rear Panel SVHS Out Video In Power Connector Audio In/Out Spot Out Video Out USB Port Alarm Inputs RS232 Port SCSI Port VGA Port Factory Reset Switch RS485 Ethernet Port Alarm Reset In Alarm Outs Your DVR can be used with either NTSC or PAL equipment. Note You cannot mix NTSC and PAL equipment. For example, you cannot use a PAL camera and an NTSC monitor.
Installation If you would like to connect your video source to another device, you can use the Loop BNC connectors. Note The Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do NOT connect a cable to the Loop BNC unless it is connected to a terminated device because it will cause poor quality video. Connecting the Monitor Figure 2-4 Video Out Connectors Connect the main monitor to either the Video Out or SVHS Out connector.
Installation Connecting a VGA Monitor Figure 2-5 VGA Connector A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to the DVR. Note Caution Pressing and holding DISPLAY on the front panel for 5 seconds or longer will switch the video output between Video Out (BNC or SVHS Out) and VGA Out. During clip copy, you cannot switch the video output between Video Out and VGA Out.
Installation Your DVR can record audio from up to four sources. Connect the audio sources to Audio In 1, Audio In 2, Audio In 3 and Audio In 4 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect Audio Out to your amplifier. Note The DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you will need a speaker with an amplifier. The DVR does not have a pre-amplifier for audio input, so the audio input should be from an amplified source, not directly from a microphone.
Installation GND (Ground) Note All the connectors marked GND are common. Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the GND connector. AO 1 to 16 (Alarm-Out) Figure 2-8 Alarm Output Connectors The DVR can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device to the AO (Alarm-Out) and GND (Ground) connectors. AO is an active low open collector output which sinks 5 mA@12V and 30 mA@5V. See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring alarm outputs.
Installation Connecting to the RS485 Port Figure 2-10 RS485 Connector The DVR can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. The RS485 connector can also be used to control PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras. Connect RX-/TXand RX+/TX+ of the control system to the - and + (respectively) of the DVR.
Installation Connecting to the RS232 Port Figure 2-13 RS232 Connector An RS232 port is provided to connect an external modem for remote monitoring, configuration and software upgrades, and to connect a remote control keyboard. Use a modem cable with a DB-9S (female) connector to connect to the DVR. See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring the modem. Note The DVR is not supplied with a modem cable, and many modems are not supplied with cables.
Installation Caution Do NOT connect or disconnect SCSI devices while the DVR power is on. The DVR must be powered down to connect or disconnect SCSI devices. Power up SCSI devices so they are ready for operation before powering up the DVR. Power down SCSI devices after powering down the DVR and then disconnect SCSI devices. Caution If the SCSI device is shut down while the device is operating, the DVR system might not operate normally.
Installation Factory Reset Figure 2-16 Factory Reset Switch The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the left of the USB port on the rear panel. This switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the original factory settings. Caution When using the Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have saved. To reset the unit, you will need a straightened paperclip: 1. Turn the DVR off. 2. Turn it on again. 3.
Installation Connecting the Power Cord Figure 2-17 Power Cord Connector Connect the AC power cord to the DVR and then to a wall outlet. WARNING! Caution ROUTE POWER CORDS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT A TRIPPING HAZARD. MAKE CERTAIN THE POWER CORD WILL NOT BE PINCHED OR ABRADED BY FURNITURE. DO NOT INSTALL POWER CORDS UNDER RUGS OR CARPET. THE POWER CORD HAS A GROUNDING PIN. IF YOUR POWER OUTLET DOES NOT HAVE A GROUNDING PIN RECEPTACLE, DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG.
