2.6.1 Video input connections
There is no video input connection.
Insure the vision signal stable and credible
The vision should be installed in the appropriate location where is away from backlighting and low
illumination or adopts the better backlighting and low illumination compensation.
The ground and power supply of the vision and the DVR should be shared and stable.
14 / 91
2.6.2 Video output connections and options
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0V
(selective configuration).
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice
1. Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
2. Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3. Stay away from the electromagnetic Interference.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control the
power supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipment strictly. The creepa ge of low quality
TV can lead to the damage of other equipments.
2.6.3 Audio signal input
, 75Ω) and VGA output
P-P
Audio port is BNC connection.
The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electromagnetic Interference and connected
credible which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage current should be avoided
especially.
2.6.4 Audio signal output
Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ (BNC) which can
connect the low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipments through
15 / 91
power amplifier. If the sound box and the tone arm cannot be isolated, howling phenomena is often
existed. There are some methods to deal with the above pheno mena.
1. Adopt better directional tone arm.
2. Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling phenomena.
3. Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.
4. Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.
2.7 Alarm input and output connections
Before connecting the device, please pay attention to follow situations:
*note: Some products have no alarm input/output functions.
1.Alarm input
A. Alarm input is grounding alarm input.
B. Alarm input demand is the grounding voltage signal.
C. When the alarm is connected with two DVRs or connected with DVR and other equipments, it
should be isolated by relay.
2. Alarm output
Alarm output cannot be connected with high-power load (no more than 1A).When forming the output
loop it must prevent the big current from relay damage. Use the contact isolator when there is a
high-power load
3. PTZ decoder connections
A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and DVR must be shared otherwise the common-mode
voltage will lead to the PTZ control failure. The shielded twisted pair is recommended.
B. Avoid the entrance of high voltage. Make the layout reasonably. Take precaution from the
thunder.
C. In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and insure the
signal quality.
D. The 485 AB lines of DVR cannot connected with other 485 output equipments paralleled.
E. The voltage between the AB lines of the decoder must be less than 5V.
4. Front equipment grounding note
Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the chip.
5. Alarm input type unlimited

The grounding of the alarm and the DVR should be shared.
The NC port of the alarm sensor must be connected with the DVR alarm input port.
The grounding of the power supply and the alarm sensor must be shared when used in external power
supply.
2.7.2 Alarm output port specification
2 channels alarm output. There is external power supply when using the external alarm equipment.
Please refer to the relay relevant parameters to avoid the overload that damages main machine.

2. Connect the video line with the DVR video input.
3. Electrify the speed dome
3 Basic operation
Note: The button in gray display indicates nonsupport.
3.1 Turn on
Plug the power supply and turn on the power supply switch. Power supply indicator light shining
indicates turning on the video recorder. After the start up you will hear a beep. The default setting of video
output is multiple-window output mode. If the startup time is within the video setting time, the timing video
recording function will start up automatically. Then the video indicator light of corresponding channel is
19 / 91
Shining and the DVR is working normally.
Note:1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.
2. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.
3.2 Turn off
There are two methods to turn off the DVR. Entering [main menu] and choosing [turn off] in the [turn
off the system] option is called soft switch. Pressing the power supply switch is called hard switch.
Illumination:
1. Auto resume after power failure
If the DVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and resume previous
working status after power failure.
2. Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the real panel must be turned off.
3. Replace the battery
Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved and the power supply switch
in the real panel must be turned off. The DVR uses button batt ery. The system time must be checked
regularly. If the time is not correct you must replace the battery, we recommend replacing the battery
every year and using the same battery type.
Note: The setting information must be saved before replacing the battery otherwise
information will lose.
3.3 System Login
When the NVR boots up, the user must login and the system provides the corresponding functions
with the user purview. There are two user settings. The names are admin, and default and these names
have no password. Admin is the super user purview; default’s permissions are preview and video
playback. User admin’s password can be revised, while their permissions can’t be revised; user default
is the default login user whose permission can be revised but not its password.
