To attach the mouse to the DVR unit, plug the end of the mouse into the mouse PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The mouse PS/2 Port can be identified by the green color. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors diagram for more information.

The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in many different shapes but are most commonly shaped like an arrow.

Your mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and releasing one of these buttons is called clicking. Sometimes you will need to double-click – or click the same button twice quickly.

In this manual, click means to position your mouse point on an icon and to single click the left button. When a right click is required, this is stated clearly. Double-click also refers to the left button.

The ratchet wheel in between the two buttons is added to provide easier scrolling capability. By simply moving the wheel with your index finger, you can quickly move through multiple pages, line, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third button allowing you to quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item.

2.4 Monitor Setup

Attach the Monitor to the Rear of the DVR unit using the VGA cable supplied by the Monitor Manufacturer. Refer to your monitor manual for detailed information on how to setup and use it.

NOTE: The monitor you use must be capable of having a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and display colors of at least 24 Bit

2.5 Power Setup

Attach the AC power cable to the rear of the DVR Unit. See Rear Panel Connectors for more information.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from the electrical outlet or the

computer.

2.6 Connecting a Video Source to the DVR

There are different types of Video Sources that can be plugged into your DVR unit including DVD players, VHS players, and CCTV Cameras. The back of the DVR unit contains up to 16 video inputs depending on the DVR model. The connectors use the BNC standard. On the KV-PCDVR32 32 Channel DVR, all 32 of these ports are used as inputs.

KV-PCDVR16 Shown

Figure 2.6

Video Inputs – The Video inputs are RG-59 BNC connectors. Simply plug one end into your video source (DVD,

Camera, etc.) and plug the other end into the desired BNC input on the DVR unit.

2.7 Looping Output Termination

When terminating the outputs becomes necessary, the DVR unit has built-in termination that allows you to select individual outputs to be terminated. Generally it is not necessary to terminate the output when using it. It is dependant on if the device to which you are connecting it, has internal 75 ohm termination. As a rule, if the image appears distorted or virtually unviewable, it most likely needs to be terminated.

Terminating the Looping Outputs

Always leave the dipswitch set to the ON position when the Looping Outputs are not used.

2.8 Connecting Sensors to the DVR

Each DVR unit may have up to 16 Sensor inputs. These inputs can be used with devices such as Infrared devices, motion devices, glass breakage alarms, door and window trips, and many more. The Sensors can be set to Normally Open or Normally Closed inside the software.

There are 4 Commons (-) and 16 inputs (+). There is no power supplied to the ports so an external power supply must be used if power becomes necessary.

External Power Supply ( DC 12V)

• Use 12V, below 300mA. For controlling lights or other devices, use another external relay.

• Maximum voltage is 24V AC @ 1 amp

• Output uses a Form C Relay

2.10 Looping Outputs

The 8 and 16 Channel DVR units may have up to 16 Looping outputs. Depending on the destination of the outputs, each output may have to be terminated (See section 2.10).

Looping Outputs – The Video inputs are RG-59 BNC connectors. Make sure there is a video source connected

to the input and then connect a cable to the Channel Out. The looping outs can be connected to video monitors or combined with adapters to connect to VCR’s.

2.12 Optional Components

To fully utilize your DVR unit’s potential, several optional Surveillix components are listed below. Contact your dealer for more information.

Extra Video Storage Hard Drive – Each DVR unit has a virtually unlimited storage potential. By adding additional

1) Video Data Hard Drives you can extend the amount of Video Data your DVR system can store before overwriting older data.

NP-FM56USB 56K External Modem – This 56K modem allows you to connect the DVR to a standard phone

PW-UPS UPS Power Backup – UPS Power Backups allow your DVR unit to remain fully functional even

NP-4PKVM 4 Channel KVM Switch – The 4 Channel KVM switch allows you to have multiple boxes (up to

6) MO-F70L 17” LCD Monitor – 15” Flat screen monitor.

7) MO-T17 17” CRT Monitor – 17” Standard CRT monitor.

8) MO-T19 19” CRT Monitor – 19” Standard CRT monitor.

line. Using this modem you can either connect the unit to the Internet or allow a direct DVR to computer connection.

in the event of a power failure. UPS Power Backups also even the fluctuating power current out to provide a consistent, reliable power flow. This creates a stable environment for the DVR unit and reduces failure.

4) using only one keyboard, mouse and monitor. You can simply switch between the DVR units using the keyboard.
