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.
