1. Introduction  
1.1 Overview  
The DVR, model SLD240, is a storage media of digital video images, which uses hard disk drives  
instead of VCR tapes to store video. It enables you to enjoy the extreme flexibility of digital image  
archiving instead of clumsy tape management, and it is compatible with most multiplexers on the  
market. With a wide range of comprehensive features, such as playback picture-by-picture, quick  
search by time and event, an Ethernet connection for remote viewing, the upgradeable software of the  
system, the expandable capacity of the hard drive, and much more, the DVR makes your applications  
far more flexible and effective than ever before. The DVR is going to prove to be the timely substitute  
for the Time-lapse VCR.

3.2 Hard Disk Drive Installation  
The DVR is equipped with two compartments for hard disk drives. The unit usually comes with one hard  
disk drive installed in the compartment HD1, which is default-configured as a master. If you need a  
second hard disk drive, it should be installed in the compartment HD2 (Mobile). If there is only one  
hard disk drive, and it is in the mobile compartment, please set the HD2 USAGE option to REC (Please  
refer to Section 5.5) before proceeding to record. The jumper-settings arrangement of installed hard  
disk drives for the system (Table 3.2 A. ) is shown in the tables below.

4. BASIC OPERATIONS  
This section shows you how to operate and manage the DVR.  
4.1 Configure Recording Settings  
Recording Time settings (Recording Rate and Picture Quality Setting)  
Recording time will vary depending on the image size, recording rate, and the capacity of th e hard disk  
drives. Generally, the DVR comes with a built-in hard disk drive for continuous recording from one to four  
weeks under most recording conditions. Table 4.1.2 shows the possible recording times based on an  
80GB hard disk drive at certain refresh rates and the corresponding image quality. With one or more  
hard disk drive(s) in operation, please calculate the necessary recording time using the table below. For  
example, if the unit is set to record images withBEST quality at a 60 fps record rate, n ormally an 80GB  
hard disk drive will be filled in 15 hours (See the gray area in the table). If a 240GB hard disk drive is in  
use under the same refresh rate and picture quality, it will be filled in 45 hours (3 times the rate of an  
80GB hard disk drive).  
Set up the REC Time Mode when a multiplexer is connected  
If a multiplexer is connected, for optimum image recording and playback, the record speed of the  
multiplexer must be correctly adjusted to match the DVR and set the MULTIPLEXER option on the  
setup menu to ON. This can be done by the method detailed below.  
4.1.1 Multiplexer Setup  
Connect the SW. OUT terminal in 9-PIN D-SUB connector on the rear panel of the DVR to the  
multiplexer’s trigger contact. The DVR will provide the timing signal to the multiplexer.  
Note: The DVR will only send out a timing signal while it is in RECORD mode.  
In the multiplexer’s menu, set the recording mode to SYNC for recording in all DVR refresh rates except  
60fps and 30fps. In SYNC mode, if the DVR changes the recording speed, the multiplexer will  
automatically adjust the recording to match. Be sure to set your multiplexer’s timing signal to falling. If  
you wish to record in 60fps or 30fps, put the multiplexer in real-time instead of SYNC. 60fps and 30fps  
timing signals are constantly negative/falling.

NOTE: When connecting to a LAN, each connected DVR must be assigned a unique IP,  
which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses are  
written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 192.168.0.1  
Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for example , the first  
three sets of numbers of the DVR IP address must be the same as the network  
address. If the connected network is identified as Class B, the first two sets of  
numbers of the DVR IP address must be the same as the network address. If you

10. Index Table  
The following description details how the DVR manages an index table issue.  
The DVR will generate a time index table indicating recorded data kept on a particular HDD. This allows the  
user to individually select the recorded data to be displayed via the alarm list search and full list search. The  
maximum number of lis ts for a given HDD is 3,000. When the list of any given HDD is used up and the disk is  
not full, the unit will still use the rest of the space for recording. In such a case, an index for the recent  
recorded data will be generated, and the index of the next oldest data will be erased so that the list does  
remain 3,000 in total. For any newly-recorded data, this approach will be applied until the disk becomes full.

In the rewrite recording mode, when the archived hard disk drive is full, the DVR will start overwriting the  
oldest data recorded. As the previous recorded data was partially overwritten by the recent recording, the  
indicating time index of that data will be changed corresponding to the starting time of the remaining s ession.

11.3 Internet Browser Viewer  
The DVR can be viewed from a PC without the use of the included NetViewer software. The only  
requirement for this viewing option is that the computer used for viewing must have Microsoft Internet  
Explorer 5.0 or later. Most systems come with this software included. If it is not already on your  
system, a free download can be found on Microsoft’s website.  
Internet Browser:  
1. Open Internet Explorer  
2. On the “address” line, type in the IP address assigned to the DVR in Section 9.  
?? Example (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)  
?? If the login screen fails to load, click on the REFRESH button at the top of the screen.  
3. The DVR login screen will come up.  
4. In the USER NAME box, type “admin”  
5. In the PASSWORD box, type the password you assigned to the DVR in Section 5.6.  
6. Once the program has started, the DVR can be controlled by clicking on the functional  
buttons on the bottom of the screen.  
7. Under the DVR menu, click on the tab SETUP to change the DVR’s recording properties.  
8. When finished with the viewer, click LOG OUT and exit the browser.  
* While multiple systems are logged onto the Viewer, if one user clicks LOG OUT, all  
connections will be lost. If this occurs, start the above processagain.  
NOTE: Multiple computer systems may watch the Viewer simultaneously. Viewer refresh  
rate greatly depends on the available resources on the LAN. With each  
connection  
to the Viewer, or other excessive strain on your LAN connection such as network  
dependent software programs, the refresh rate will suffer.  
NOTE: The remote viewer will function best when only one computer is directly linked to the  
DVR, as in Section 9.1.1.
