2.4 Connecting to alarm in/out device

The alarm input is switch signal，if the alarm input is not switch signal, such as voltage signal, then please follow the connection method below.

If alarm output interfaces are connect to DC/AC load, then please refer the suggestion below.

Please pay attention to the different application of JP4 in these applications. If the interface is connected with DV load, JP4 can be used in these two methods safely, and suggest that this should be used within the limit of 12V/1A. if the interface is connect with AC load, then JP4 should be cut off, unplug the short circuit object. Please use external relay for safety. (as shown in the figure)

There are 4 short circuit objects in the mother board, every alarm output interface correspond one of them, and they are JP4, JP5, JP6 and JP7. It is short circuited after the DVR is produced, so these short circuit objects should be unplugged when AC load is connected.

Attention! If the alarm output interface is used for control the AC circuit, short circuit objects on mother should be unplugged, and external relay is needed to make sure the safety of device, and prevent electric shock.

Note: If you change this option, please reboot DVR to make parameter into effective.

Resolution: The higher resolution is, the clearer the image is. The resolution options from low to high are: QCIF, CIF.

For DS-8000AHI/AHLI/AHFLI-S DVR: all channels can only max support CIF resolution.

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. 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 r ate si ze.

MaxPreRecord is to save all data in PreRecord buffer. The PreRecord time is related with 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”,

Page 67 Total 116

DS-8000AHI/AHLI/AHFLI-S Embedded Net DVR

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 Minutes, 5 Minutes and 10 Minutes.
