2. CONNECTION AND SETUP
Before the DVR is powered on, make sure you have installed a hard disk and connected
at least one camera. For details, please refer to the following sections.
Note: The DVR is designed to automatically detect the video system of the
connected cameras (NTSC or PAL). To make sure the system detection is
correct, please check if the cameras are connected to the DVR and
power-supplied before the DVR is powered on.
2.1 SATA HDD Installation
A SATA HDD must be installed before the DVR is powered on.
Note: It’s recommended to clear all data in the hard disk when the DVR is
powered on and the date & time are set correctly to ensure the recorded
data are not mixed with other data previously saved in the same hard disk.
For details, please refer to “5.6.6 Clear All HDD Data” at page 27.
