Some models may support this function. Take 16 CH alarm inputs and 1 CH alarm output for
example.
Alarm Input:
Alarm IN 1~16 are 16 CH alarm input interfaces. There are no type requirements for sensors.
NO type and NC type are both available.
The way to connect sensor and the device is as shown below:
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. If the input is not an open/closed relay, please refer to
the following connection diagram:

The way to connect alarm output device:
Pull out the green terminal blocks and loosen the screws in the alarm-out port. Then insert the
signal wires of the alarm output devices into the port of NO and COM separately. Finally,
tighten the screws. Provided that the external alarm output devices need power supply, you can
connect the power supply as per the following figures.

2 Basic Operation Guide

2.1 Startup & Shutdown

Please make sure all the connections are done properly before you power on the unit. Proper
startup and shutdown are crucial to expending the life of your device.

2.1.1 Startup

Connect the output display device to the VGA/HDMI interface of the NVR.
Connect with the mouse and power. The device will boot and the power LED would turn
blue.
A WIZARD window will pop up (you should select the display language the first time you
use the NVR). Refer to 3.1 Startup Wizard for details.

2.1.2 Shutdown

You can power off the device by using remote controller or mouse.
By remote controller:
Press Power button. This will take you to a shutdown window. The unit will power off
after a while by clicking OK button.
Disconnect the power.
By mouse:
Click StartShutdown to pop up the Shutdown window. Select Shutdown in the
window. The unit will power off after a while by clicking OK button.
Disconnect the power.

2.2 Remote Controller

It uses two AAA size batteries.
Open the battery cover of the remote controller.
Place batteries. Please take care the polarity (+ and -).
Replace the battery cover.
Key points to check in case the remote doesn’t work.
1. Check batteries polarity.
2. Check the remaining charge in the batteries.
3. Check IR controller sensor for any masking.
If it still doesnt work, please change a new remote controller to try, or contact your dealers.
You can just turn the IR sensor of the remote controller towards the IR receiver of the NVR to
control it when you are controlling multiple devices by remote controller.
There are two kinds of remote controller. The interface of remote controller is shown as below.
