Tighten the thumb bolt. First Alert cameras can be either ceiling or wall mounted by simply reversing the camera stand mounting. See “Camera Orientation” Info box. Holes are provided on both the bottom and back of the camera housing to accommodate most mounting requirements. Run cable from camera to DVR location.
See Information box below on “Longer Cable Runs”.

Why Set a Date & Time?
It’s important to set the proper date and time before continuing so that you can easily locate recorded events.
Inaccurate dates and times on files may affect their admissibility as evidence in court. In addition, when changing current time settings, to avoid possible confusion with the time stamps on recorded and currently recording files, stop all ongoing recording processes before altering the system time and restart recording using the new settings.

Audio/Video Recording
Caution: Audio surveillance in some states is illegal or requires permission from one or both parties to record someone’s voice. Laws are also different from residential vs. commercial applications.
Some federal, state, and local laws prohibit certain surveillance activities and/or the use or distribution of the information obtained from such activities. Prior to using this system, you should become familiar with the pertinent laws to ensure compliance with those applicable to surveillance activities.
NTSC or PAL?
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is the video system or standard used in North America and most of South America. In NTSC, 30 frames are transmitted each second. Each frame is made up of 525 individual scan lines.
PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is the predominant video system or standard mostly used overseas. In PAL, 25 frames are transmitted each second. Each frame is made up of 625 individual scan lines.

RECORD Mode
Configure Recording Options:
You have three recording options: Continuous, Schedule and Motion. By default, the DVR is set to record continuously. Set parameters as follows:
1. From the Main Menu click RECORD. Under SWITCH, use the drop-down menus and select ON/OFF to enable/disable recording from the selected channel. Note: If SWITCH is set to OFF, then Motion Detect, Alarm and Manual
Record are also disabled for that channel.
2. Under RESOLUTION, select CIF, HD1, or D1.
NOTE: NTSC: @30fps, PAL: @25fps. Recording capabilities for both NTSC &
PAL: Channels 1 & 2: D1, HD1, CIF; Channels 3-8: HD1, CIF.
3. BITRATE (Kbps): See table for details.
4. FRAMERATE: Choose the recording frame rate 1-30, (fps – frames per second). The lower the value, the less life-like and more jerky the recorded movements will be. However, a lower frame rate uses less HDD space. Make your choice depending on the precision with which you want to follow the events being recorded. Frame-rate of each channel can be adjusted but is limited by the total resources available. The total frame rate for all channels combined cannot exceed 420 (NTSC) fps. Note: Although the chipset is NTSC
480, part of the resources are used for other internal functions and cannot be allocated to recording resources.
The ratios of D1, HD1 and CIF are as follows: 1 D1= 4 x CIF, 1 HD1 = 2 x CIF.
5. AUDIO, select ENABLE or DISABLE. If audio recording is enabled, the system will record audio from connected audio capable cameras (not included). See caution statement on audio recording in Video/Audio section.

CCTV Resolution
CCTV resolution is measured in vertical and horizontal pixel dimensions and typically limited by the capabilities of both the camera and the recorder that you are using for your CCTV surveillance installation. CCTV systems use an analog video signal. For television specifications (which CCTV uses) the highest resolution that can be captured and stored is 704 x 480 (NTSC for the United States) and 720 x 576 (PAL for Europe). This resolution is known as D1 resolution. A high end CCTV recorder is capable of recording at up to D1 resolution.
