3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio
3.6.1 Audio Input
These series products audio input port adopt BNC port. Due to high impedance of audio input,
use active sound pick-up. Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid
interference, dry joint, loose contact and it shall be away from high tension current.
3.6.2 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC or RCA). It can directly
connect to low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device. If
the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In
this case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
Reduce the volume of the sound box.
Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve
acoustics environment.
Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.
3.7 Alarm Input and Output Connection
Read the followings before connecting.
1. Alarm input
a. Make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
b. Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
c. Alarm input needs the low level voltage signal.
d. Alarm input mode can be either NC (normal Open) or NO (Normal Close)
e. When you are connecting two DVRs or you are connecting one DVR and one other device, use
a relay to separate them,
2. Alarm output
19
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than
1A) to avoid high current which may result in relay damage. Use the co contactor to realize the
connection between the alarm output port and the load.
3. How to connect PTZ decoder
a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR, otherwise you may not control the PTZ.
Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.
b. Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
c. For too long signal wires, 120Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end
to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
d. “485 A, B” of DVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.
e. The voltage between of A,B lines of the decoder should be less than 5v.
4. Make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed.
Improper grounding may result in chip damage.
3.7.1 Alarm Output Port
Provide external power to external alarm device.
To avoid overloading, read the following relay parameters sheet carefully.

Dahua DDNS and Client-end Introduction
1) Background Introduction
Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to
access the DVR via the registered domain name. Besides the general DDNS, the Dahua DDNS
works with the device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.
2) Function Introduction
The Dahua DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client end. It realizes the bonding
of the domain name and the IP address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our own devices
only. You need to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly. There is no
user name, password or the ID registration on the server. At the same time, each device has a
default domain name (Generated by MAC address) for your option. You can also use customized
valid domain name (has not registered.).
3) Operation
Before you use Dahua DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address,
port value and domain name.
Server address：www.dahuaddns.com
Port number：80
Domain name：There are two modes: Default domain name and customized domain name.
Except default domain name registration, you can also use customized domain name (You can
input your self-defined domain name.) After successful registration, you can use domain name to
login installed of the device IP.
66
User name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.
Important
Do not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60
seconds. Too many registration requests may result in server attack.
System may take back the domain name that is idle for one year. You can get a notification
email before the cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.
