2.5 Audio/Video IO Connections
2.5.1 Connec t Video Input
The DVR has BNC video input connectors. Signal requirements：PAL/NTSC BNC（1.0V，75Ω）。
Video signal should conform to the national standards with a higher signal-to-noise ratio, low
distort ion and low i nterference; r equiring pic ture to be cl ear, with no image distorti on, with natural color
and appropriate brightness.
Ensure stable and reliable camera signal:
Install the cam era i n appropriate l ocations to avoid bac klighti ng and surroundi ngs with dim light or
use low illumination camera and camera with ef fective backlight compensation.
Cameras should share reliable common ground with the DVR to ensure the normal operation of the
camera.
Page 9
Ensure stable and reliable line transmission of signal:
Use high-qual ity, shielded vi deo coa xial cabl e. Selec t the ri ght t ype dependi ng on the trans mi tting
distance. I f the distance is extensive, you should consider the use of cable with twisted pairs, v ideo signal
enhancing devices and fiber-optic cables to maintain the signal quality.
Keep the video transmitting line away from other devices and circuits that generate strong
electromagnetic interference. In particular, protect it against high voltage power surge.
Ensure secure wire connections:
Signal li nes and shi elded cabl es shoul d ha ve tight connecti ons. Avoid fal se sol dering and pre vent
oxidation of the solder connection surface.
2.5.2 Selection and Connection of Video Output Devices
PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0V
, 75Ω) video output and VGA output exist （ They can operate
P-P
simultaneously）
When using a computer monitor as an alternative surveillance display, pay attention to the following:
1. In order t o pr ol ong the li fe of the equi pm ent, do n ot l ea ve the m onitor powe r-on for an extended
period of time；
2. Perform demagnetizing regularly to ensure proper working status of the monitor；
3. Keep it away from devices generating strong electromagnetic interference.
TV is not a r eli abl e alter native as the video ou tput de vice. It al s o req ui res m i nimizing the power -on
time and ti ght c ontrol of interference from surroundi ng power source and devices. Possible electricity
leakage from low quality TV could result in damage to other devices.
2.5.3 Audio Signal Input
AV interface for audio input.
With higher impedance, active pickup is required.
As with video input, th e audio transm ission li ne should minimize inter ference, prevent inad equate
soldering and faulty connections. Pay special attention to protection against a high voltage power surge.
2.5.4 Audio Output:
The par ameter of the DVR audio output s ignal i s usually greater tha n 200m v 1kΩ ( AV). It can be
Page 10
directly connected to low impedance headphones, powered speakers or drive other audio output devices
through an ampl if ier. If spatial isolation cannot be established between external speakers and pickups, it
could result in a whistling sound. In the event, you may:
1、 Use pickups with better directivity;
2、 Adjust speaker volume to the level below whistle threshold;
3、 Use sound-absorbing materials in the working environment to reduce sound reflection and
improve room acoustics;
4、 Adjust the layouts of pickups and speakers to reduce the occurrence of whistling.
Connections to PTZ
A. The PTZ decoder must share a common ground with the DVR or possible presence of
common-mode voltage may cause you to lose control of the PTZ.
We recommend shielded twisted pair cable with its overall shield being used for common
ground;
B. Prevent against high-voltage power surge. Wire cables must be able to protect equipment from
lightning
C. Connect a 1 20 Ohm res istor in par allel at the far-end to reduce reflec tion and guarant ee the
signal quality;
D. T he AB-wire connecti ons of the DVR’s 485 cable cannot be combined wi th 485 c ables from
other output devices;
E. AB line voltage of the decoder should be lower than 5V.
Ground Wires of front-end equipment
Incorrect grounding may result in chips being burned.

Step 1: In Figure 3. 10, use arrow ke ys to rotat e the PT Z to the des ired pr eset direc tion. Cl ick
Set key to enter Figure 3.15. Select the left boundary and return to Figure 3.10;
Step 2: Use arrow keys to selec t the des i red pos iti on. Cli ck Set to enter Figure 3.15 and sel ect
the right boundary. Then return to Figure 3.10;
Step 3: Complete the setting for left and right boundaries of the position.
Note: When left and right boundaries are on the same horizontal level, PTZ will rotate counter
clockwise from left boundary to the right;
If they are not on the same level, PTZ uses the end of the horizontal trace connecting to the left
boundary as the right boundary point and rotate anticlockwise from the left to the right.
