camera.

Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line

BTTTB

Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according to the

transmission distance.

If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video

compensation devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.

You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially

the high tension current.

Keep connection lugs in well contact

BTTTB

The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint,

lap welding and oxidation.

3.6.2 Connecting Video Output

Video output includes a BNC(PAL/NTSC1.0V

System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time.

When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following

points:

z To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.

z Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.

z Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.

Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce

the working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low

quality TV may result in device damage.

3.7 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio

3.7.1 Audio Input

These series products audio input port adopt BNC port and video compression card.

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 and it shall be away from high tension current.

3.7.2 Audio Output

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

z Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.

z Reduce the volume of the sound box.

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

acoustics environment.

z Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

3.8 Alarm Input and Output 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. How to connect PTZ decoder

a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with NVR, otherwise you may not control the PTZ.

Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.

b. Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures. c. For too long signal wires, 120Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end

to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.

d. “485 A, B” of NVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.

e. The voltage between of A,B lines of the decoder should be less than 5v.

4. Please make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed.

Improper grounding may result in chip damage.

3.8.1 Alarm Input and Output Details

You can refer to the following sheet X for alarm input and output information.

3.8.2 Alarm Input Port

Please refer to the following sheet for more information.

z Normal open or Normal close type.

z Please parallel connect COM end and GND end of the alarm detector (Provide external

power to the alarm detector).

z Please parallel connect the Ground of the NVR and the ground of the alarm detector.

z Please connect the NC port of the alarm sensor to the NVR alarm input(ALARM)

z Use the same ground with that of NVR if you use external power to the alarm device.

3.9 RS232

You can connect the NVR with POS or Keyboard through RS232.

With POS system, the NVR can communicate through RS232 and network. For the POS system, the

NVR can integrate the text content and even search the record through the info.

The series NVR also support NKB operation. You can operate the NVR from the keyboard controls

instead of using the control pad on the front panel of the unit.

To connect a NKB keyboard to the NVR:

1. Assemble the KBD keyboard according to the instructions in its accompanying installation manual.

2. Connect the KBD keyboard into one of the RS232 ports on the NVR or through network.

3.10 RS485

When the NVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up the coaxial cable

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

unit. To enable the operation, connect the PTZ device to the RS485 (A,B) input on the NVR. See

X289H289H289HFigure 3-8X.

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

series NVRs support multiple protocols such as Pelco-D, Pelco-P.

To connect PTZ devices to the NVR:

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

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

3. Please follow the instructions to configure a camera to enable each PTZ device on the NVR.

3.11 Other Interfaces

There are still other interfaces on the NVR, such as USB ports.

4 Understanding of Menu Operations and Controls

Before operation, please make sure:

z You have properly installed HDD and all the cable connections.

z The provided input power and the device power are matched. z The external power shall be AC100～240V 50+2% Hz.

z Always use the stable current, if necessary UPS is a best alternative measure.
