SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
VERY IMPORTANT!
You have two options for connecting cameras to the MDVR. The fi rst option will let you use the power
from the MDVR to power the camera (providing cameras do not exceed 12V 250ma). This option will
give you the best portability. The second option requires for you to use a camera an external power
source when using cameras that require more than 250ma. DO NOT USE CAMERAS
REQUIRING MORE THAN 12V250ma, WITH THE FIRST OPTION. DOING SO WILL
DAMAGE THE MDVR.
You will get two different cables, the
trick is to use the correct cable for the
option you select. Option 1 has the
L shaped MDVR connector with the
black 12VDC 250ma power connector.
Option 2 has the straight MDVR connector used with cameras requiring an
external power supply.
OPTION 1:
The following parts are needed to setup option 1, using a camera that does not exceed
12V250ma power requirement. Use the L shape connector cable (1) and connect it to
the controller (3). From the small controller use the multi-pin bus cable (2) for the controller to DVR connection.
1. L shaped connector cable with a marked black 12VDC 250ma connector.
2. Multi-pin/ Bus
3. Controller
NOTE: When connecting the
Controller to the MDVR using
the bus cable (2), the MDVR will
power ON and OFF
automatically . Use the
controller to turn the MDVR ON,
OFF and Rec.
