3 Device Installation

1.1Check Hardware

When you receive the in the packaging, unpack it, and check all sides of the NVR to see if there is any physical damage. The protective materials used for the packaging of the NVR can protect most accidental damage during transportation, but to ensure that your equipment is operating as expected, it is recommended to inspect the product before proceeding further.

On the NVR unit, check specifically that the label on the bottom of the NVR is not damaged. The serial number of the unit is usually needed to provide support.

Please check that all required items for your NVR are present and accounted for. To check what is included with your purchase, go to http://qcam.com/ and find the product you purchased, then scroll down and click the “What’s Included” tab. If any item is missing, please contact us as soon as possible so we can send you the missing component.

1.2Hard Drive Installation

It is recommended to use a hard disk drive (HDD) of 7200rpm or higher.

Please follow the instructions below to install a hard disk drive (HDD).

All the figures listed below are for reference only. Slight differences may be found on the front or rear panel.

.

4.Turn the device upside down and then turn the screws in firmly in the chassis.
5.Attach the HDD firmly.

6. Connect the HDD cable and power cable.

.

.

.

Note:

7. Put the cover on in accordance with the clip and then place the upper cover

8. Secure the screws in the rear panel and the side panel.

An HDD is included with the NVR by default.

To connect the HDD, connect the HDD data cable and the power cable before attaching the HDD in the device.

To remove the front cover, push the clip first, and then slide the cover off.

3.3 Connection Port Information

1. Loosen the screws of the upper cover and side panel.

2. Attach four screws in the HDD (Turn three times).

3. Place the HDD in accordance with the four holes on the bottom.

1.1.1 Connection

Please check to make sure the input voltage is correct and the power button is in the off position when connecting the power supply.

We recommend you use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to guarantee steady operation of the NVR, as well as to elongate the life span of the NVR and other peripheral equipment such as attached cameras and other accessories.

1.1.2Audio Output Connection

The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC or RCA). It can directly connect to a low impedance earphone, active speaker, or amplifier-drive audio output device. If the speaker and the microphone cannot be separated spatially, it may create a feedback loop. In this case you can adopt the following measures:

Use a better directional microphone.
Reduce the volume of the speaker.
Using more sound-absorbing materials in the surrounding area can reduce voice echo and improve the acoustic environment.
Adjust the layout of the audio output cables to reduce the occurrence of a feedback loop.

3.4 Device Assembly

Before setting up the NVR, you will probably need the following items. The items are not included:

A computer monitor or TV with either an HDMI or VGA input
A power strip with room for 4 large power plugs

Note: It is recommended to connect all components of the system as shown below BEFORE mounting any of the cameras. This is to ensure all components are working. If any components are not functioning, please contact Qcam Support.

To set up the NVR hardware, there are 6 major steps:

1.Connecting a monitor to the NVR. The NVR is compatible with any monitor that uses a VGA or HDMI connection. For purposes of this guide, we will use a VGA connection.

2. Connect a USB mouse to the front of the NVR.

3

Connect an Ethernet cable to your router, and then connect the other end of the cable to the NVR.
