2 – DVR unit Installation
2.1 Installation Location
Before installing the security system, it is essential to plan where to locate the DVR unit.
Below are a few points to consider
The DVR unit should be located in a central location with easy access to cameras and installed cables
If you plan to use remote viewing features, the DVR unit should be located near your modem / router or network point
The DVR unit should be installed in a secure location to avoid tampering
Do not place heavy objects on top of the DVR unit
Do not block ventilation holes on the top and sides of the DVR unit or use in an enclosed area which may cause overheating
Plan out where you would like to place your cameras and test all connections BEFORE permanently installing cables and cameras
Cameras can be placed covertly so no one can see them which is suitable for indoor locations where you do not want to see them every day, however, placing cameras in plain sight outdoors will act as a deterrent to would be intruders

7 – Appendix 2 – Troubleshooting & Support
7.1 – Troubleshooting
Problem
I have no picture
Solution
1. Check that power is on and the Power LED is lit up
2. Check the video cable is attached from the Video
Output 1 on the back of the DVR to the yellow video input on your TV or monitor
3. Set the TV or monitor to the correct video input channel. On most TV’s you can change inputs by pressing the button labeled source, input, A/V, channel
0 etc.
I have no power
How do I stop the DVR from beeping?
Make sure the power adaptor is connected to the back of the DVR and the other end is plugged into a socket that is turned on
To turn off the audio beep set the Buzzer setting to
OFF in the Alarm > Motion menu
Why are some camera images discoloured?
Your cameras are equipped with a night vision filter to help them see at night. This can make some colours appear discoloured. Try adjusting the colour settings in the display menu
My night vision image is very dark or just a black screen
The cameras will work to about 10m in the dark. If you are getting a dark image, the camera may be aimed at a target further than 10m away. Try aiming it closer or down towards the ground to make sure they are working
My night vision image is very bright and I can’t see anything when aimed out a window
The infrared light is bouncing off the window and reflecting back into the camera. Either place the camera on the other side of the window or make sure the camera face is flush with the glass surface
Motion Detection settings keep recording all night long
Night vision uses infrared light to ‘see’ an image at night. It relies on small amounts of ambient light to function correctly. The less light there is the harder it is for the camera to see an image. This can result in artifacts in the image. If there are too many artifacts and motion recording keeps triggering, try adjusting the sensitivity settings in the Alarm menu to a lower value, see

7.1 – Troubleshooting
Problem
Where do I place my cameras?
Can I add more cameras?
Solution
Camera placement depends on your application.
For homes, suggested camera placements are near doorways, under eaves looking down the driveway, the backyard or in a child’s room. For small businesses, high traffic areas near doorways, over cash registers, or down aisles are suggested
The Cocoon DVR unit accepts up to 4 cameras. You can replace any of the cameras with other cameras however there is no way to add additional channels to the DVR
What is a PTZ camera?
PTZ or Pan / Tilt / Zoom cameras are generally high end cameras that allow you to aim the camera where you want and zoom in. The DVR has built in functions to control the PTZ features when connected to the RS485 port
My hard drive is full
Can I add a bigger hard drive?
The remote control is not working
How long will my DVR record?
We have changed the password but we do not remember what it is
If your hard drive fills up you can either format the hard drive or turn on the Overwrite feature. Setting
Overwrite to Enable will overwrite the oldest footage first to ensure there is no down time. Turning motion detection on will only record when motion is detected saving additional hard drive space
Yes, the Cocoon DVR unit accepts HDD’s up to 2TB in size. If you are unfamiliar with hard drives and changing computer components we strongly suggest you consult a professional. Any damage or modifications to the internal components may void your warranty. Always ensure there is no power to the DVR unit when opening the casing
Change the batteries to ensure they are not flat. Make sure you are aiming the remote control at the front of the DVR unit
Depending on recording settings, resolution and number of cameras you can record for up to 120 days on the lowest settings or approximately 7 days on the highest settings. We recommend setting motion detection to ‘enable’ to record only when motion is detected to record even longer

7.2 Glossary of Terms

DVR

PTZ Control
Motion Recording
D1, HD1, CIF Resolution
Description
The main unit is a DVR or Digital Video Recorder. It has all of the smarts to detect motion, record, playback and connect to the net
CCTV or closed-circuit television uses video cameras to view on a monitor. The DVR can then be used to record the images
The connectors used by the DVR and cameras are camera connectors.
They are quick turn and attach or release connectors
The cameras are equipped with infrared LEDs which emit light the human eye cannot see which allows vision in low light or “night vision”
Some higher end cameras are equipped with PTZ or Pan / Tilt / Zoom functionality. When connected to the DVR, the DVR can be used to control the camera
The DVR is equipped with motion detection technology. When enabled, if motion occurs in the vision of the camera the DVR will begin recording
D1 is the highest resolution, essentially DVD quality, HD1 is literally half of D1 quality while CIF is one quarter of D1. Recording in CIF will record longer but with lower resolution while D1 will record with the best resolution but take up the most space
