This product is an excellent digital surveillance equipment with high definition
designed specifically for the field of security. Embedded LINUX operating system,
making the system more stable; using standard H.264MP video compression
algorithms and a unique spatial and temporal filtering algorithm to achieve a
high-quality, low bit-rate synchronous audio and video surveillance; powerful network
services greatly enhance the ability of network data transmission and remote control
capabilities.
Part one Basic Operation
1. Basic Installation
1.1 Hard Disk Installation
For the first time use, please install the hard disk. The quantity of Hard Disk is based
on requirement and specifications of the device.
Remark: AHD / DVR &XVR can run and monitor normally without hard disk, while it
can’t record and playback.
1.2 Mouse Connection
There are 2 USB ports with the device. These 2 USB ports could be used for
mouse, U disk and WIFI module. Mouse connection is depend on products
specifications based on different products.
2. Starting
Plug the power supply and turn on the power supply switch (Some modes are
without the switch). Power supply indicator light shining indicates turning on the video
recorder. After finishing the start up you will hear a beep, and the default setting of
video output is multiple-window output mode.
Remark: Restart the power after the abnormal power off, AHD/DVR &XVR will
automatically recover the state before power off.
3. Turn Off
There are two methods to turn off the AHD / DVR &XVR which are soft switch and
hard switch. Entering [Main menu] and choosing [Log out] in the [Turn off the system]
option is called soft switch. Pressing the power supply switch is called hard switch.
Remark: The setting information must be saved before replacing the battery
2
otherwise information will lose.
4. Login
When the AHD / DVR &XVR boots up, user must login and the system provides the
corresponding functions with the user purview. There are two user settings which are
admin and guest; and the password is 123456 .“admin” is the super user purview;
“guest” is the common user purview which have right to preview and recording
playback. User ”admin” and “guest” can change the password, but can’t change the
right.
Password protection: If the password is continuous wrong seven times, the alarm
will start. (Through reboot or after half an hour, the account will be unlocked
automatically) For your system security, please modify your password in “User
management” after first login.
5．Preview
Login normally and choose the multi-menu preview status.
The system date, time and channel name are shown in each viewing window. The
surveillance video and the alarm status are shown in each window. Each channel
contains a navigation bar at the top of the screen, including record control, PTZ control,
Speed PTZ control, colour setup and hidden function button
The normal interface have icons as bellow: channel name, recording mark, audio
mark. When trigger alarm, it will be display: video detection, video shelter, video
loss ,and etc .

6. Recording Setting
Enter [Menu] → [Record].
Remark: at least one hard disk to set as read/write disk.
6.1 Select Channel
Two ways:
1. Click drop-down button, choose channel, if choose “all”, it will set all channel
unified.
2. Put mouse cursor on channel number, scroll mouse wheel to find channel to set.
4
6.2 Redundancy
Redundancy function is to keep record file double backup. It needs two hard disk to
record, one is used as read/write disk, the other is used as redundancy disk.
6.3 Length
Each record file time length is defaulted 60 minutes. (no alarm record produced)
6.4 Prerecord
Prerecording means detect /alarm record start at the pre-recorded time before
alarm signal occurs.
6.5 record mode
Recording mode includes: manual, stop, schedule.
[Manual] Manual record all the time no matter what status the channel is
[Stop] No record no matter what status the channel is.
[Schedule] If choose this type, need to set record types and time periods.
Record type
[Regular] Record file format is “R”. It records by regular type when no special
situation occurs in the time you set.
[Detect] Record file format is “M”. When one of the three signals triggered in the
5
time period you set, which are “motion detect’, “video blind” and “video loss”, it will
record by detect type.
[Alarm] Record file format is “A”. When “alarm input “signal triggered in the time
period you set, it will record by alarm type.
Time period
Record works in the time period you set.
Set the parameters on week and period. There are four time period which can be
continuous or discontinuous or repeated. Three record types are behind each time
period to choose.
For example : As picture shown below (Tuesday), the record plan is as below:
00:00--03:00 Record all the time from 0 o’clock to 3 o’clock, and the record file
format is “A”.
03:00--08:00 Record only motion detected, and the record file is “M”.
08:00--09:00 Stop recording.
09:00--11:00 If motion detected and enable linkage record, then start recording,
and the record file format is “M”. If there is an I/O alarm and enable linkage record,
then start recording, and the record file format is “A”.
7. Playback
Enter [main menu]->[record]->[playback]

10.--300 se
After completing the recording channel setup, it still depends on the "recording
setup” in the settings. Enter [main menu]>[Record].
If you want to record motion detection image, you need to set the time period
corresponding to the channel, so that the "disarm period" in the "recording setting
period", generally select "00:00 - 24:00" button and here [detect] the box below to
select, after saving setup. For more information, see chapter video settings
