Installation Connecting the Video Source Connect the coaxial cables from the video sources to the BNC Video In connectors. Figure 2-2 Video Input Connectors Connecting the Loop Through Video If you would like to connect your video source to another device, you can use the Loop BNC connectors. Figure 2-3 Note Video Loop Through Connectors The Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated.
Installation Note The audio input is from an amplified source. The DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you will need a speaker with an amplifier. Setting Unit for CVBS or VGA Output Set the switch to CVBS or VGA for monitor output. Select CVBS for spot monitor, and select VGA for RGB monitor. Figure 2-5 CVBS/VGA Switch Note The DVR might not support some LCD monitors or some monitors don't support Multi Sync. Note You cannot use spot monitor output and VGA output at the same time.
Installation Figure 2-6 Note Video Out Connectors For SPOT monitor Output, set the CVBS/VGA selector switch to CVBS. Connecting the RGB Monitor A VGA port is provided for RGB monitor output. Connect the RGB monitor to the VGA connector if required. Connect an RGB cable with a DB-15 (male) connector, which is usually less than 10 feet, to the DVR connector. Figure 2-7 Note VGA Connector For RGB monitor output, set the CVBS/VGA selector switch to VGA.
Installation Figure 2-8 Alarm Input Connector Strips AI 1 to 4 (Alarm In) You can use external devices to signal the DVR to react to events. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold voltage for NC (Normally Closed) is above 4.3V and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected. The threshold voltage for NO (Normally Open) is below 0.3V. See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring alarm input.
Installation Connecting to the Network Port The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a Cat5 cable with an RJ-45 jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a computer for remote monitoring, searching, configuration and software upgrades. See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring the Ethernet connections. Figure 2-10 Caution Network Connector This Network Port is not designed to be connected with cables or wires that are intended for outdoor use.
