operation of the 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.

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

The low quality TV may result in device damage.

Figure 3-2

3.7 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio

3.7.1 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.

Figure 3-3

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.

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.
