2.5 Audio and video input and output connections

2.5.1 Video input connections

The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0V

P-P

75Ω).

Insure the transmission line stable

For video transmission, a high quality shielded RG-59 cable should be used. The length of the wire run to the camera should be no longer than 1000’ as a rule of thumb. If the transmission distance is too far, you should adopt shielded twisted pair and an active video balun to transmit your video signal.

The video signal line should be away from the electromagnetic Interference such as 110V wires or stringing the cable over florescent lights.

Insure the connections are tight

Insure the video lines are connected properly and secured on tight so as not to cause improper video display.

2.5.2 Video output connections and options

The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0V

P-P

, 75Ω) and VGA output (selective

configuration).

Things to keep in mind about your monitor:

1、Do not leave your monitor running 24 hours a day if avoidable.

2、Keep the computer display normal working by degaussing regularly.

3、Keep the monitor away from electromagnetic Interference if possible.

2.5.3 Audio signal input

The audio in port is a RCA connection with high input impedance.

The audio signal line should be firmly connected and kept away from the electromagnetic Interference. High voltage lines should be especially avoided.

2.5.4 Audio signal output

The output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ (BNC) which can be used to

Page 9

connect to low impedance earphones, computer speakers or other standard audio input equipment. If the speakers and microphone cannot be isolated from each other, a howling phenomena is often exhibited. There are some methods to deal with the above phenomena.

1、 Adopt better directional microphone.

2、 Adjust the speaker volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling phenomena.

3、 Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.

2.6 Alarm input and output connections

１、Alarm input

A. Alarm input is grounding alarm input.

B. When the alarm device is connected with two DVRs, or connected with DVR and other

equipment, it should be isolated by a relay.

２、Alarm output

The alarm output cannot be connected with a high-power load (no more than 1A).

３、PTZ decoder connections

A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and DVR must be shared otherwise the common-mode voltage will lead to the PTZ control failure. B. Avoid the introduction of high voltage to the input. C. In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and insure the

signal quality.

D. The 485 AB lines of DVR cannot connect with other 485 output equipments paralleled. E. The voltage between the AB lines of the input must be less than 5V.

4、Front equipment grounding note

Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the chip.

5、Alarm input type unlimited

Appendix 3.Hard disk capability calculation

Make sure the hard disk installed to the DVR for the first time. Pay attention to the IDE hard disk

lines connection.

1、 Hard disk capability There is no limit for recording machine. We recommend 120G~250G size to keep better stability. 2、 Overall capability option The hard disk capability formula is: Overall capability（M）=channel number*time（hour）*capability in an hour（M/hour） The recording time formula is:

Recording time（hour）=

overall capability（M）

Capability in an hour（M/hour）*channel number

The DVR introduces the H.264 compression technology. Its dynamic range is very large so the

hard disk capability calculation is based on the estimation values of each channel creating files in an hour.

Example:

For one piece 500G HDD, real time CIF for recording, it will keep recording for about 25 days.HDD spaces per channel is 200M/H, if 4channels real time CIF at 24hours recording uninterrupted, it can last:500G/(200M/H*24H*4ch)=26 days

Return Policy

Merchandise may be returned for a refund or exchange for 15 days from day of receipt as long as the equipment is still in "as new" condition. There is no return on Clearance items. A 15% restocking fee may apply. Shipping costs are not refundable.

"As New" means that all items must be undamaged and in their original cartons and packaging along with all accessories, documentation, and parts. No wires or pigtails can be cut. The product exterior must be intact and unmarked. The original carton must be in another "shipping" box. No postmarks or labels shall be on the original box. Cable must be unopened (or still on reel).

A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained from Discount Security Cameras prior to the return of any merchandise. An RMA number is only valid for 14 days.

To request an RMA number, call (904) 855-1121.

Free and Discounted Product Offers

From time to time, DSC will offer a free or discounted product as a special offer along with another product. For example, we might offer a free monitor with a DVR system. In a case like this, if the product is returned (eg, the DVR system) then the free or discounted product must also be returned (eg, the monitor) in order to receive the full refund for the order. The free or discounted product must also be in 'as new' condition as described above. If the free or discounted product(s) is not returned with the rest of the order then DSC will charge the customer for the retail price of the free product (or the difference between the discounted price vs. the retail price of the discounted product) thereby reducing the amount that the customer would receive in the refund. For example, if a free monitor was not returned and the retail price of the monitor is $129 then the refund to the customer would be reduced by $129.Similarly, if a discounted monitor was not returned which was sold at $59 that was normally $159, then the refund to the customer would be reduced by $100.

Package Offers

If a customer returns an item that was purchased as part of a package (and so paid a reduced package price) or using an order discount or coupon, DGP will calculate the correct amount to be refunded as follows:

The total cost of the items will be added up according to the price if each item was purchased separately. Then the percentage of discount will be calculated based on the price paid for the package.

For example, if the items in the package purchased separately is $750 and the package price paid was $699 then the percentage of discount was 1 - (699/750) * 100 = 6.8%.

In this example, if an item is returned, the amount credited would be the individual retail price - 6.8%. For example, if one camera was returned which costs $79 individually, the refunded amount would be:

Page 72

$79 - 6.8% or $79 - ($79 * .068) = $79 - $5.37 = $73.63

In this case, $73.63 was the actual amount paid for the camera given the package or coupon price. If a restocking fee is charged it will be based on this actual amount paid ($73.63 in this example). If you have any questions about this policy please feel free to call us.
