Connection diagram
Connecting to Video and Audio Input and Output
4.2.1 Video Input
The video input port is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0 V
The video signal should comply with your national standards.
The input video signal shall have high SNR, low distortion; low interference, natural color, and suitable
lightness.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal
The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from the conditions such as direct sunlight,
inflammable, and explosive substances.
The camera and the DVR should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of the
camera.
Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line
, 75 Ω).
P-P
Use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Select suitable BNC model according to the transmission
distance.
36
Page 47
User’s Manual
If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video compensation
devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.
You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially the
high tension current.
Keep connection lugs in well contact
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint, lap
welding, and oxidation.
4.2.2 Video Output
Video output includes a BNC (PAL/NTSC1.0 V
supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, pay attention to the following points:
To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce the
working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low quality TV
may result in device damage.
4.2.3 Audio Input
This series of products audio input port adopt BNC port.
Due to high impedance of audio input, use active sound pick-up.
Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose contact

P-P
4.2.4 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200 mv 1 KΩ (BNC or RCA). It can directly connect to
low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device.
If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In this
case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
Reduce the volume of the sound box.
Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve
acoustics environment.
Adjust the layout of speaker and pickup to reduce squeaking.

Connecting to Alarm Input and Output
Read the followings before connecting.
Alarm input
Make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
Alarm input needs the low level voltage signal.
Alarm input mode can be either NC (Normally Closed) or NO (Normally Open).
When you are connecting two DVRs or you are connecting one DVR and one other device, use a
relay to separate them.
Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A)
to avoid high current which might result in relay damage. Use the contactor to realize the connection
between the alarm output port and the load. The next device connected to the port must meet the
fire enclosure requirements.
How to connect PTZ decoder
Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR; otherwise the PTZ might not be controlled.
Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.
Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
For too long signal wires, 120 Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end to
reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
“485 A, B” of DVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.
The voltage between of A, B lines of the decoder should be less than 5 V.
Make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed
Improper grounding might result in chip damage.
