1 Features and Specifications
1.1 Overview
This series NVR is a high performance network video recorder. This series product support local preview,
multiple-window display, recorded file local storage, remote control and mouse shortcut menu operation,
and remote management and control function.
This series product supports centre storage, front-end storage and client-end storage. The monitor zone
in the front-end can be set in anywhere. Working with other front-end devices such as IPC, NVS, this
series product can establish a strong surveillance network via the CMS. In the network system, there is
only one network cable from the monitor centre to the monitor zone in the whole network. There is no
audio/video cable from the monitor centre to the monitor zone. The whole project is featuring of simple
connection, low-cost, low maintenance work.
This series NVR can be widely used in many areas such as public security, water conservancy,
transportation and education.

2.3 Alarm Connection
Please refer to the following sheet for alarm input and output connection.
There are two alarm input types for you to select: normal open (NO) and normal close (NC).
1. Alarm input
a. Please make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
b. Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
c. Alarm input needs the low level voltage signal.
d. Alarm input mode can be either NC (normal Open) or NO (Normal Close)
e. When you are connecting two NVRs or you are connecting one NVR and one other device, please use
a relay to separate them.
2. 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 may result in relay damage. Please use the co contactor to realize the
connection between the alarm output port and the load.
3. Please make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed.
Improper grounding may result in chip damage.
