3.5.1 Connecting Video Input

The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC （1.0VB The input video format: BNC（0.8VP-P，75Ω）, The video signal should comply with your national standards. The input video signal shall have high SNR, low distortion; low interference, natural color and suitable lightness.

Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal:

The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable, explosive substances and etc. The camera and the DVR should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of the camera.

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 contactBTTTB

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

3.5.2 Connecting Video Output

Video output includes a TBNC(PAL/NTSC, 1.0VP- P， 75Ω）output, a VGA output and a HDMI output. 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:

 To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.  Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.  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.

3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio

3.6.1 Audio Input

BNC port is adopted for audio input port. 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.

3.6.2 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:

 Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.  Reduce the volume of the sound box.  Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and

improve acoustics environment.

 Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

3.7 Alarm Input and Output Connection

Please read the followings before connecting.

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 DVRs or you are connecting one DVR 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 DVR, 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 DVR 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.

4 Overview of Navigation and Controls

4.1 Boot up and Shutdown

4.1.1 Boot up

Before the boot up, please make sure:  The rated input voltage matches the device power on-off button. Please make sure

the power wire connection is OK. Then click the power on-off button.  Always use the stable current, if necessary UPS is a best alternative measure. Please follow the steps listed below to boot up the device.

 Connect the device to the monitor and then connect a mouse.  Connect power cable.  Click the power button at the front or rear panel and then boot up the device. After

device booted up, the system is in multiple-channel display mode by default.

4.1.2 Shutdown

Note

 When you see corresponding dialogue box “System is shutting down…” Do not click

power on-off button directly.  Do not unplug the power cable or click power on-off button to shutdown device

directly when device is running (especially when it is recording.)

There are three ways for you to log out.

a) Main menu (RECOMMENDED) From Main Menu->Shutdown, select shutdown from dropdown list. Click OK button, you can see device shuts down.

b) From power on-off button on the front panel or remote control Press the power on-off button on the DVR front panel or remote control for more than 3 seconds to shutdown the device.

c) From power on-off button on the rear panel.

4.1.3 Auto Resume after Power Failure

The system can automatically backup video and resume previous working status after power failure.

4.1.4 Replace Button Battery

Please make sure to use the same battery model if possible. We recommend replace battery regularly (such as one-year) to guarantee system time accuracy.

Note: Before replacement, please save the system setup, otherwise, you may lose the data completely!
