KEYBOARD SETUP
To attach the keyboard to the DVR unit, plug the end of the Keyboard into the keyboard PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine.
The keyboard PS/2 Port can be identified by the purple color. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors diagram for more information.
MOUSE SETUP
To attach the mouse to the DVR unit, plug the end of the mouse into the mouse PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The
mouse PS/2 Port can be identified by the green color. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors diagram for more information.
The mouse uses a cursor. Cursors come in many different shapes but are most commonly shaped like an arrow.
Your mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and releasing one of these buttons is called clicking.
Sometimes you will need to double-click – or click the same button twice quickly.
In this manual, click means to position your mouse cursor on an icon and to single click the left button. When a right click is required,
this is stated clearly. Double-click also refers to the left button.
The scroll wheel in between the two buttons is added to provide easier scrolling capability. By simply moving the wheel with your index
finger, you can quickly move through multiple pages, line, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third button allowing you to
quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item.

OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
To fully utilize the NVR’s potential; several optional Surveillix components are listed below. Contact the dealer for more information.
Extra Video Storage Hard Drive
Each DVR has a virtually unlimited storage potential. Add additional Video Data Hard Drives to extend the amount of Video Data the
DVR system can store before overwriting older data.
UPS
UPS Power Backup
UPS Power Backups allow your DVR to remain fully functional even in the event of a power failure. UPS Power Backups also even
the fluctuating power current out to provide a consistent, reliable power flow. This creates a stable environment for the DVR and
reduces failure.
NP-4PKVM
4 Channel KVM Switch
The 4 Channel KVM switch allows you to have multiple boxes (up to 4) using only one keyboard, mouse and monitor. You can simply
switch between the DVRs using the keyboard.
Hot Swappable Redundant Power Supplies
Every DVR has the option of a dual redundant hot swappable power supply. In the event of a component failure the inoperable power
supply may be removed leaving the DVR running so no break in recording occurs. Simply replace the power supply with a new one
and you are finished.
Raid Controller
A raid controller is available for increased performance or data reliability.
External RAID storage
An external RAID device is used for independent data reliability & provides much greater storage expandability
Gigibit NIC
Provides support for Dual Nic configurations
SCSI Interface adapter
Allows for external storage devices to be connected
