Time Lapse speed; it will allow for the longest recording durations as it records less  
information. Please refer to Appendix # 5 for the different recording times.  
Note: Audio does not record at a speed lower than 8 IPS.  
(iii) REC SELECT: Selects which channels will be recorded to the HDD.

button and you will be asked “REALLY?”. Select [Y] to confirm the HDD Clear.  
Note: If you have a SLAVE HDD connected as well and the HDD Slave option  
is set to [Y], then you may also choose to Clear the contents of your  
Slave HDD.  
(v) HDD OVERWRITE: Select [Y] to have the DVR automatically overwrite previously recorded video in the  
event of the HDD becoming FULL. If you select “Y” it will display OVWR (Overwrite)  
in the on-screen display. If you select “N”, the DVR will terminate recording once it  
reaches its capacity.  
Note: HDD Overwrite replaces the earliest recorded video with additional  
video being recorded. When the HDD is Full and Overwrite is active,  
the first piece of video that you recorded will be lost.

backup to the Master HDD, providing extra storage space.  
To connect a Slave HDD, you will need an External IDE drive with a built-in power supply.  
how to obtain an accessory External HDD Bay with IDE connection.  
Note that once you have connected a Slave HDD, it needs to be activated in the HDD SLAVE  
option of the HDD / REC SET submenu (refer back to page 12 for further details).  
Note: any HDD that you connect to the system must be Cleared.  
When recording to the Master HDD becomes Full, the Slave HDD commences receiving the  
earliest recorded data from the Master HDD. Therefore, data is not lost, as it gets transferred to  
the Slave HDD. The most recent recordings are found on the Master HDD.

APPENDIX #1 – INSTALLING the HDD  
The HDD serves the same purpose in a DVR as a video cassette does in a VCR.  
However, installing the HDD is a bit more complicated. Please follow the next steps  
carefully in order to ensure proper installation.  
The compartment located on the front panel of the DVR is the removable Cartridge Casing in which you  
insert the HDD. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your reference.  
1. Remove the Cartridge Casing from the DVR  
Lift the Handle and pull towards you. The Cartridge Casing will slide out of the DVR.  
Cartridge Casing  
1. Keyhole  
2. LED indicator lights  
(Power indicator & HDD Access indicator)  
3. Handle  
YOU MAY FIND THAT THE CARTRIDGE CASING IS LOCKED. IN THIS CASE, SKIP  
AHEAD TO STEP 8 TO FIND INSTRUCTIONS ON UNLOCKING THE CABINET, THEN

3. Connect the HDD into the Cartridge Casing  
Take the Hard Disk Drive and Connect the two cables from the back of the Cartridge Casing to the HDD.  
The cables should be pushed in firmly, but not forcibly.  
The 4 Pin connection is the DC Power cable, and the wider cable is the standard Hard  
Drive IDE type connection.  
4. Secure the HDD in the Casing (optional)  
Use screws and tighten them, positioning the HDD into place. This step is optional, but it is recommended.  
5. Slide the top Cover over the Cartridge Casing  
Slide the Cover forward over the Cartridge Case. Ensure it is secured in place over the release latch.  
6. Reinsert the Cartridge Casing into the DVR  
Fully insert the Cartridge Case into the DVR.

APPENDIX #4 - RS232 Remote Protocol  
The RS232 / Alarm input allows you to control the DVR system from your PC. In order to achieve this, you will require an RS232 COM  
Port communication program installed on your PC. There are many of these software programs available on the internet, some of which  
Use an RS-232C cable to connect the DVR Combo to your computer.  
The remote connection on the DVR uses 8 data bits, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit. Below is an example of the data stream with the control  
codes shown.  
ACT – OxFF  
OxCO  
ID  
CODE
