SENSOR (ALARM-IN) CONNECTION
(Alarm-In)
GNDNo.1 Sensor
(Alarm-In)
GNDNo.9 Sensor
Your DVR system is capable of transmitting electrical signals to external devices when an event occurs. Mechanical
or electrical switches can be connected to the Alarm-In and Ground (GND) ports. The individual Alarm-In ports can
be configured from the System Setup menu as either NC (Normal Close) or NO (Normal Open).
Alarm-In Connection
1. Connect one of the external device’s signal lines to the desired Alarm-In port.
2. Connect the remaining line to the Ground port (GND).
08_ connecting with other devices
ALARM (ALARM-OUT) CONNECTION
Your DVR system is capable of activating warning lights, sirens, and other types of external devices.
External device s can be connected to the unit's Alarm-Out and COM ports.
Alarm Connection
1. Connect one of the external device's signal lines to the desired alarm (Alarm-Out) port.
2. Connect the remaining line to the COM port.
• The alarms (Alarm-Out) operate in conjunction with the sensors (Alarm-In). When an event signal is
received through a sensor, an electrical signal is transmitted from the corresponding alarm to activate
the external device connected to that alarm.
• Alarms can be configured to function in unison with motion detection, video loss, object detection, and
other software features.
02 CONNECTING WITH OTHER DEVICES
connecting with other devices _09
RS485 CONNECTION
It's possible to control an external device by the DVR using the RS485 interface for communication.
The RS485 port can be used to control PTZ cameras, speed domes, keyboard controllers and other types of external
devices.
Connect the RX+/TX+ & RX-/TX- of the external device to the + & - of the RS485 port respectively.
Check the polarity (+/-) when making the connection. Faulty wiring can damage both devices.
Electrical Hazard: Please carefully read through the Safety Warnings and Precautions section.
Warning
It’s not possible to connect a PTZ device and a keypad device (SSC-2000) to the RS485 port and use the two
devices at the same time. In order to use a PTZ device with a keypad or another type of external device, you
will need to install a separate COM port expansion card.

NETWORK CONNECTION
Ethernet/UTP Cable (CAT5)
LAN/WAN
Internet
Switch Hub (100Mbps) Router
Your DVR system supports network-based remote monitoring, remote search, remote control, and remote software
upgrade. SEC recommends the use of the TCP/IP protocol and a switching hub for LAN/WAN applications.
Network Cable Connection
1. Connect a Ethernet/UTP cable to the network port located at the rear of the system.
2. Connect the opposite end of the Ethernet/UTP cable to the switch hub.
• Before connecting your DVR system to the network, please contact your network administrator to
prevent the system from causing a network conflict.
02 CONNECTING WITH OTHER DEVICES
connecting with other devices _11
EXTERNAL KEYPAD CONNECTION
The SSC-2000 keypad can be used to control up to 255 DVR and PTZ units.
Connect the DVR's RS485 (+/-) port to the SSC-2000 keypad's RS485 port.
• Turn the power off both units while connecting the SSC-2000.
• Pay attention to the polarity of the RS485 connections.
• Refer to the SSC-2000 manual when attempting a RS232 connection.
• When using a keypad device, please ensure that communication settings for both the DVR and the
keypad device are the same. Communication settings mismatch can prevent the keypad device and the
DVR from making normal communication. (Set communication protocols for both the keypad and the
DVR as Half Duplex.)
It’s not possible to connect a PTZ device and a keypad device (SSC-2000) to the RS485 port and use
•
the two devices at the same time. In order to use a PTZ device with a keypad or another type of external
device, you will need to install a separate COM port expansion card.
