2.5 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio

2.5.1

Audio Input

These series products audio input port adopt BNC port.

Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up.

Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose contact

andit shall be away from high tension current.

2.5.2 Audio Output

The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (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.

HDCVR

- 13 -

 Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve

acousticsEnvironment.

 Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

2.6 RS485

to the

PTZ device. RS485 is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ device can’t return any data to the unit. To

enable

X28 9H 2 89 H2 8 9H X

Since RS485 is disabled by default for each camera, you must enable the PTZ settings first. This

series

DVRs support multiple protocols such as Pelco-D, Pelco-P.

To connect PTZ devices to the DVR:

1. Connect RS485 A,B on the DVR rear panel.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the camera.

Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction

1) Background Introduction

Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to access

theDVR via the registered domain name. Besides the general DDNS ,the Quick DDNS works with thedevice

from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.

2) Function Introduction

The quick DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client end. It realizes the bonding of

thedomain name and the IP address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our own devices only. Youneed

to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly. There is no user name,password or

the ID registration on the server. At the same time, each device has a default domain name(Generated by

MAC address) for your option. You can also use customized valid domain name (has notregistered.).

3) Operation

Before you use Quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address, port valueand

domain name.

 Server address：www.quickddns.com

 Port number：80

 Domain name：There are two modes: Default domain name and customized domain name.

Except default domain name registration, you can also use customized domain name (You can inputyour

self-defined domain name.) After successful registration, you can use domain name to logininstalled of the

device IP.

Do not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60 seconds.

Too many registration requests may result in server attack.

System may take back the domain name that is idle for one year. You can get a notification emailbefore the

cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.

UPnP

The UPNP protocol is to establish a mapping relationship between the LAN and the WAN. Please

inputthe router IP address in the LAN

 Status: When the UPNP is offline, it shows as “Unknown”. When the UPNP works it shows“Success”.

 Router LAN IP: It is the router IP in the LAN.

 WAN IP: It is the router IP in the WAN.

 Port Mapping list： The port mapping list here is the one to one relationship with the router’s portmapping

setting.

List：

 Service name：Defined by user.

 Protocol： Protocol type

 Internal port：Port that has been mapped in the router.

 External port：Port that has been mapped locally.

Default: UPNP default port setting is the HTTP, TCP and UDP of the DVR.

Add to the list: Click it to add the mapping relationship.

Delete: Click it to remove one mapping item.

Double click one item; you can change the corresponding mapping information.

Important:

When you are setting the router external port, please use 1024~5000 port. Do not use

well-known

port 1~255 and the system port 256~1023 to avoid conflict.

For the TCP and UDP, please make sure the internal port and external port are the same

toguarantee the proper data transmission.

Please enable the SNMP function. Use the corresponding software tool (MIB Builder and MG-SOFT

MIBBrowser. You still need two MIB file: BASE-SNMP-MIB, DVR-SNMP-MIB) to connect to the device.

Youcan get the device corresponding configuration information after successfully connection.

 Please follow the steps listed below to configure.

 Check the box to enable the SNMP function. Input the IP address of the PC than isrunning the

software in the Trap address. You can use default setup for the rest items.

 Compile the above mentioned two MIB file via the software MIB Builder.

 Run MG-SOFT MIB Browser to load the file from the previous step to the software.

 Input the device IP you want to manage in the MG-SOFT MIB Browser. Please set thecorresponding

Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction

1) Background Introduction Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to access the DVR via the registered domain name. Besides the general DDNS, the quick DDNS works with the device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.

HDCVR WEB

- 91 -

2) Function Introduction The quick DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client end. It realizes the bonding of the domain name and the IP address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our own devices only. You need to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly. There is no user name, password or the ID registration on the server. At the same time, each device has a default domain name (Generated by MAC address) for your option. You can also use customized valid domain name (has not registered.).

3) Operation Before you use Quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address, port valueand domain name

 Server address：www.quickddns.com

 Port number：80

 Domain name：There are two modes: Default domain name and customized domain nameExcept default

domain name registration, you can also use customized domain name (You can inputyour self-defined domain name.) After successful registration, you can use domain name to logininstalled of the device IP.

 User name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.

Important

 Do not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60 seconds.Too

many registration requests may result in server attack.

 System may take back the domain name that is idle for one year. You can get a notification emailbefore

the cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.
