ALARM OUT
Set how the alarms are handled and transmitted in this window. This controls any device 
attached to the ALARM OUT port on the back of the DVR. There are three tabs; 
Alarm Out
Schedule and Buzzer.
Alarm Out Tab
You can set the relay alarm out name as well as the hold time. Hold time is the interval 
between consecutive alarm activations so multiple events within the interval will not cause the 
alarm to sound again.
Schedule Tab
The default setting is for the ALARM OUT to be active all the time, but this can be changed 
to meet your particular requirements in a similar manner to 
Schedule in SECTION 4.4.
Buzzer Tab
As with the Alarm Out hold time, the internal buzzer can be enabled and given a hold time.

HARD DISK DRIVE
CHAPTER 9
Your DVR uses a standard desktop or 3.5” SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) 
hard disk drive and will support drives up to 2TB (terabytes). These drives are the current 
industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on 
where you purchased your DVR, your hard drive may already be installed. But, we recognize 
that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this DVR is designed to 
make installation and replacement easy for the average user. A 5400RPM drive will work but a 
7200RPM drive is recommended for optimal performance.
It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case besides the 
battery and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care 
must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case. Such damage will 
not be covered.

9.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk 
of static discharge which can damage electronic components.
Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the 
steps are largely the same:
STEP 1. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
STEP 2. Remove screws (the number will vary depending on your model) from the side 
and rear of your DVR as indicated in 
Picture 9-1

STEP 3. Remove the case by sliding it 
backwards and then lifting off.
STEP 3A. If removing a hard drive, you 
will need to unscrew the four drive 
mounting screws at the bottom of the 
DVR or on the internal mounting rack.
