2.3.3 Alarm Output Connection Guide
Alarm Output Connection Example
Please kindly pay attention to different connection for JJ1. While connecting to DC load, the
2 connection mode for JJ1 are both okay,yet it is suggested to use it under 12V,1A. While
connecting to AC load,then JJ1 must be open(unplug the short-circuit port on main board).
For safety consideration, it is recommended to use external relays while connecting to AC
load(As the right side figure shows).There are 4 short-circuit port on main board that refers
to each alarm output channelas JJ1, JJ2, JJ3, JJ4, which are all in short-circuit mode by
default, and must be unplugged while connecting to AC load.
Wanings！Short-circuit port must be unplugged on connect to AC load, and users
should also use external relays to avoid device damage and shork hazard!

Note: If you change this resolution option, please reboot DVR to make it into effective.
Bit Rate Type: There are two options: “Variable” and “Fixed”.
If you select variable bit rate, DVR will adjust the actual bit rate according to the video
movement. When there is not much movement, DVR will use low bit rate, while there is much
movement, DVR will use high bit rate. In this case, DVR can save HDD usage and network
bandwidth.
If you select fixed bit rate, DVR will use the fixed bit rate to compress iamge. The bit rate
size is defined in “Max Bit Rate” option. In this case, we can calculate the recorded file size
and network bandwidth that we need.
Max Bit Rate: If you select variable bit rate, when the video input has great movement,
we need to limit the max bit rate. The max bit rate has following options (bps): 32K, 48K, 64K,
80K, 96K, 128K, 160K, 192K, 224K, 256K, 320K, 384K, 448K, 512K, 640K, 768K, 896K, 1M,
1.25M, 1.5M, 1.75M, 2M and “User define”.
The max bit rate selection has relations with resolution. If you select high resolution, you
must select high bit rate. For CIF resolution, the typical max bit rate is 384K-768Kbps. For
DCIF resolution, the typical bit rate is 512K-1Mbps. For 4CIF resolution, the typical bit rate is
1.25Mbps-1.75Mbps. Of course, you will select the proper max bit rate based on the camera,
background and image quality requirement.
Bit rate: You can select bit rate size for fixed bit rate type. It is the same as “Max Bit Rate”.
Image Quality: If you select variable bit rate type, you can define image quality. There are
6 options: Highest, Higher, High, Average, Low and Lowest. High image quality needs high bit
rate size.
Frame Rate: Frame per second. Options are: Full (PAL is 25 FPS and NTSC is 30FPS),
20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16. For low frame rate, you can select low bit rate
size.

recording, you can define prerecord time. The options are: No PreRecord, 5 Seconds (default
selection), 10 Seconds, 15 Seconds, 20 Seconds, 25 Seconds, 30 Seconds and Max
PreRecord.
MaxPreRecord is to save all data in PreRecord buffer. The PreRecord time is related with
User Manual of DS-8000HMFI Mobile DVR
Page 64 Total 104
bit rate. The lower bit rate, the longer PreRecord time is.
If the bit rate (Max bit rate) is very low, and you select “PreRecord Time” as “5 Seconds”,
maybe the actual perrecord time is more than 5 seconds. On the other side, if the bit rate is
high, and set “PreRecord Time” as “30 Seconds”, the actual prerecord time maybe is less than
30 seconds.
PostRecord Time: When external alarm or motion alarm is stopped, DVR will continue
recording time. The options are: 5 Seconds (default), 10 Seconds, 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2
