3.5 Connecting Video Input and Output Devices
3.5.1 Connecting Video Input
The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0VB
B75Ω. See X283H283H283HFigure 3-1.X
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.
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.
BTTTB
3.5.2 Connecting Video Output
Video output includes a TBNC(PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0VP- P， 75Ω）output and a VGA output.
System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time. See
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.
Important
Please use the connection cable (not provided) when you use the VGA output.

3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio
3.6.1 Audio Input
These series products adopt BNC port.
Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up. See
Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose
contact and it shall be away from high tension current.
The 4-pin aviation-level port is shown as below. It is to input the audio and video.

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:
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.
Please refer to

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. 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.
