WARNING: Do not operate the DVR on a carpet or other soft surface that might block
ventilation holes. If you are installing the DVR in a cabinet or rack, make certain there
is adequate ventilation.
Your DVR is designed to work a variety of other equipment. In this section each type of
equipment will be discussed. The basic DVR will consist of a video camera and system
monitor.

User’s Manual
Video In (1-4)
Four video inputs and four video loop outputs are provided for video source connections using
standard BNC connectors. The video inputs accept monochrome or color composite video
signals. The looping video outputs (Loop 1-4), provided for each camera are used to loop
the video signal to other equipment.
NOTE: The BNCs on the DVR are self-terminating. Do not connect a cable to the
Loop connector unless it is connected to a video device because this will defeat the
termination.
Video Out
A composite video output is provided on the Video Out BNC for connection to a B/W or color
video monitor. The SVHS output (mini-DIN connector) is provided for SVHS monitor
connection. Both Video Outs can be used at the same time.
Audio In
One audio input is provided on the Audio In RCA connector. The input only accepts the
line-level signal, so an external pre-amplifier is required to connect a microphone.
Audio Out
One mono audio output(line-level) is provided on the Audio Out RCA connector. This
output allows monitoring of live audio signals or audio signal during playback. An external
audio amplifier is required.
Network Port
The Network Port is a RJ-45 port that supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections.
Modem Port
The Modem Port is a RJ-11 port that supports a telephone line connection.
Text In/PTZ Port
The Text In/PTZ Port is used for either text input or PTZ control. When using for the Text In
port, it supports standard RS-232C ASCII text input on a DB-9P connector. This text source
may be from POS devices, cash registers, ATMs, access control systems, or other sources that
output asynchronous ASCII information. When controlling the PTZ camera via RS485 input,
the additional RS232 to RS485 converter is required.
4
Four-Channel Digital Video Recorder
RS232 Port
A second 9-Pin male plug is provided for RS232C serial communication for either an external
modem connection or a remote controller connection.
Power In
The power connector is provided for connecting DC 24 volt power supply. Connect the DC
power cord of the adaptor to the DVR, and connect the AC power cord to the adaptor and then
to the wall outlet. AC input specifications of the provided adaptor are 100~250 VAC, 50~60
Hz and 1.0 A. The output specifications of the adaptor are 24 VDC and 2.9 A.
Terminal Strip Connections
Alarm In
Four alarm inputs (1-4, 2-ground) are provided for manual alarm activation. The inputs
accept switch closures (door contact, panic buttons) or TTL (transistor-to-transistor) opencollector input signals.
Alarm Out
Two external alarm outputs (both either NC or NO contacts) and one internal buzzer (ARI, G)
for alarm indication are provided. The alarm status is monitored using the alarm output
connected to a visual or audible indicator (flashing light, bell) and the internal buzzer.
Pressing
alarm output during alarm activation. Permitted current is up to 0.6 A for 125 VAC or 110
VDC, 2 A for 30 VDC.
NOTE: The NTSC/PAL switch is located between RS232 plug and Network Port, and
Factory Reset push button is between Network Port and Modem Port.
ALARM resets the alarm (both alarm outputs, and internal buzzer) status by releasing
