Baxall Vivid Digital Video Recorder
•
Consult the appropriate rack-mounting documentation for the rack cabinet being used before attempting to install any
Vivid DVR into a rack,
•
Before attempting to install a Vivid into a rack make sure the rack is stable by either fully extending its anti-tip legs (if
mounting the Vivid on a slide-out shelf) or ensuring the rack cabinet is firmly located or attached to the floor,
•
Baxall recommend that in all cases the rear or sides of a rack-mounted Vivid DVR should be supported by suitable rack
shelves or supports in addition to the main rack ears at the front of the unit
•
In a mixed installation, install the heaviest installation items, such as RAID devices or UPS, in the lowest possible positions
in the rack
•
If installing additional Vivid DVRs, install the remaining systems from the lowest system upward into the rack.
Note: Baxall Ltd always recommends that a ½U vertical gap is left between rack-mounted equipment.
Connect Cameras
Connect a coaxial cable to the video output BNC connector of the CCTV camera. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable
to the top row camera 1 video input BNC connector on the Vivid DVR. The lower connector is a loop-through connector for
connecting the video signal from the camera through to other equipment.
Depending on the model of Vivid DVR ordered, up to 6, 10 or 16 CCTV cameras can be connected to a single Vivid DVR.
Connect Main Monitor
Connect the Vivid DVR to the main monitor. This can be achieved by either using an S-Video cable to connect the Vivid DVR
to the S-Video input on the monitor, or by using a coaxial cable to connect the MON A video output BNC connector on the Vivid
to a video input BNC connector on the monitor.
The MON B video output connector is used for connecting a second SPOT monitor to the Vivid DVR, if required.
Connect Cameras and Main Monitor to Power Supply
Connect the CCTV cameras and main monitor to the power supply, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Ensure the CCTV cameras and main monitor are powered up before powering up the Vivid DVR.
Connect to Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the Vivid DVR and the other into a local Ethernet network port.
Note: Contact your IT/IS department for advice on which external network port to use and also to ask if the local network will
provide an IP address automatically, using DHCP, or whether the IP address of the Vivid needs to be configured manually? In
the latter case, ask them to provide you with details of all the IP addresses you will need later on in the installation process.
Make a note of the numbers they provide you with here:

Connect DVR to Power Supply
Plug the Vivid DVR external power supply into the 12 Volts socket on the back of the unit. Connect the power cord supplied into
the external power supply and plug the power cord into your mains power source or UPS (recommended).
The Vivid DVR will now commence its power up and self-test routines:
•
On power up, the Vivid DVR will momentarily sound its alarm buzzer.
•
The fans and disk drives will power up and the green power LED on the front panel will light up.
•
After about one minute the monitor screen will momentarily display the Vivid DVR welcome screen and, if a camera is
connected to the camera 1 video input BNC, the Vivid DVR will then display a full screen live image from camera 1.
•
Finally, the blue recording LED on the front panel will light up, to confirm the unit is recording. Also, if DHCP is in use, the
blue network LED on the front panel will light up to indicate that the Vivid is connected to the local network.
