Installation  
Installing the Hard Drive  
Caution The HRTL-One must be powered off before installing a new hard disk drive  
or removing an existing hard disk drive.  
Do not remove the hard drive until after the HRTL-One has been powered  
down for at least 60 seconds. This will protect the hard drive from possible  
damage.  
The hard drive must be installed before the HRTL-One can record video. For a list of  
compatible hard drives, see Appendix B.  
To install the hard drive:  
1. Pull the active-handle outwards, then insert the miniature key (supplied in the hard  
drive cartridge) into the key hole, turning the key counter-clockwise to the “power  
off” (unlocked) position.

Connect to the VCR trigger recording terminal of the multiplexer to synchronize  
recording signals. The default mode is falling (negative) edge.  
This pin becomes Low when hard drive errors occur and remains High under normal  
operation.  
This pin can accept the external trigger signal to activate record mode from an  
external device. Options are:  
Low: (default) When the external signal turns to Low it triggers the HRTL-One record  
mode.  
High: When the external signal turns back to High the HRTL-One stops recording.

Recording Video  
Your HRTL-One DVR offers a variety of flexible recording modes. You can configure it to:  
Record all the time  
Record for scheduled time periods  
Record upon alarm activation  
You can also configure record speed and resolution (quality).  
The desired recording parameters are configured using the menu setup screens (see  
Chapter 3). During normal (recording) operation, if power stops accidentally, after the  
HRTL-One recovers power, it will continue to record after booting up.  
Note  
You an also record manually by pressing the REC button on the front panel.  
Manual recording overrides timed recording.  
System Status Reporting  
System operational status is reported on the On-Screen Display (OSD).  
The HRTL-One automatically detects:  
The remaining hard drive capacity  
A full hard drive  
A system error  
Loss of video signal from connected camera(s)  
There are four record modes:  
Alarm Record  
External Trigger Record  
Scheduling Timer Record  
Manual Record  
An alarm trigger causes the HRTL-One to immediately start recording at the recording  
speed and quality configured for Alarm mode setup (see Alarm Mode Setup, page 27).

express warranty unless confirmed to be such in writing by Honeywell International. You  
assume full responsibility for selecting products to achieve your intended purposes, for  
properly installing and using those products, and for verifying the results obtained  
therefrom.  
Your exclusive remedy and Honeywell’s entire liability arising from or in  
connection with your use of the products and/or this agreement shall be repair  
or replacement of defective products, as set forth above. Honeywell  
International shall not be subject to and disclaims: (A) Any other obligations  
or liabilities arising out of breach of contract or of warranty, (B) Any  
obligations whatsoever arising from tort claims (including negligence, and  
strict liability) or arising under other theories of law with respect to goods sold  
or services rendered by seller, or any undertakings, acts, or omissions relating  
thereto, and, (C) all consequential, incidental, special, and contingent  
damages whatsoever, even if Honeywell has been specifically advised of the  
possibility of such damages.  
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Honeywell specifically disclaims any  
liability for property or personal injury damages, penalties, special or punitive damages,  
damages for lost profits or revenues, loss of use of goods or any associated equipment,  
cost of capital, cost of substitute goods, facilities or services, down-time, shut-down or

Warranty  
slow-down costs, or for any other types of economic loss, and for claims of customer’s  
customers or any third party for any such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow  
limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or  
exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall Honeywell’s total liability for any damages  
to you or any other person in connection with the products or this agreement exceed the  
lower of the suggested list price or the actual price paid for the products, regardless of  
whether such liability arises from contract, tort, warranty, or any other form of claim.  
If any provision of this agreement is found to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, that finding  
shall not affect the remaining provisions, all of which shall be enforced to the full extent  
permitted by law. If any remedy hereunder is determined to have failed of its essential  
purpose, the limitations of liability and exclusion of damages set forth above shall remain  
in full force and effect. This agreement may be modified only by a writing signed by a duly  
authorized representative of Honeywell International.
