Video Loss; Other Alarm; Alarm Out; Hard Disk Drive - Q-See QT SERIES User Manual

Schedule Tab
This is also set to be on all the time by default and it can be adjusted in the same manners as the
Motion Dection Schedule configuration in SECTION 4.4.
1. Highlight individual hours for specific days by
using the pencil tool in the upper right of the
window to add hours. The adjacent eraser tool
removes the highlighting in a block, turning off
alarm notification for that time period. Double
click on either the pencil or eraser tool to turn
them off. Settings can be copied and applied to
any or all of the channels and to any other day.
2. Blocks of time to be recorded can also be set up by double clicking on a field adjacent to a day.
Multiple schedules can be created and saved with start and stop times down to the minute. These
can then be applied to multiple days and cameras.
Schedules made in one of these methods can be altered by the other method.

VIDEO LOSS

In the event that signal is lost by one camera,
others can be activated to record while additional
devices can also be triggered.
Like the Trigger tab in the Alarm Handling
section of the Sensor menu, you can select the
events that you wish to occur in the event that a
video input is lost. Both Alarms and PTZ events
can be scheduled as in the Sensor menu above.

OTHER ALARM

There are certain other situations which can affect the operating status of your DVR and which you will
want to be notified of if and when they occur. In this menu you can set the DVR to alert you to a full Hard
Drive, IP Conflict on the network or a Disconnection.
You can set the response as well as at what
threshold of remaining disk space you wish to be
alerted.

ALARM OUT

Set how the alarms are handled at the DVR itself. Your system has an internal speaker which can
produce a loud, audible alarm when an event occurs. You can set the hold time, or the interval between
consecutive alarm activations so multiple events within the interval will not cause the alarm to sound
again.

HARD DISK DRIVE

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.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!
The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well as from
the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the DVR or its components as well as injury or death.

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 from the side and rear of your DVR as indicated in
Remove Screws
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.
