SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Connecting Devices to the CVG-M This section explains how to connect devices such as cameras or a sensor to the CVG-M unit.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide To connect an RS232 P TZ controller: The RS232 controller cable should end with a female 9-pin RS232 connector. • If you are only connecting the RS232 PTZ controller to the unit, and are not connecting any RS485 PTZ controllers, plug the 9-pin RS232 connector directly into the RS232/485 connector on the side panel of the unit.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Connecting Sensors Sensors are devices that detect events such as a door being opened or a light being turned on. A dry-contact input sensor can be connected directly to the unit. Alternatively, the sensor connector on the unit can be used to connect a switch to change the active outline or the display on a connected CCTV monitor. In addition, if you wish, you can connect either an ADAM Data Acquisition Module or an IA-3126-2 relay board to the unit.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Connecting Sensors Using an ADAM Module If you want to connect additional dry sensors to the CVG-M, you can do so by connecting an ADAM Data Acquisition Module to the unit. Up to 16 additional dry sensors can then be connected to the unit through the ADAM module. NOTE: Alternatively, you can connect additional sensors using an IA-3126-2 relay board, as explained Connecting Sensors and Activators Using an IA Relay Board, page 21.

SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide For information about connecting sensors and activators to the IA 3126-2 relay board, and about connecting the relay board to a power source, please consult the relay-board’s documentation. NOTE: If you are connecting less than 16 activators or 16 sensors to the relay board, be sure to connect them to the relay beginning with the lowest connector, and do not leave open connectors between those that you use.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide 2. Plug the microphone connector into the Audio In (Ain1) connector on the side of the unit. Connecting a Speaker or Headphones The CVG-M unit contains a built-in, 1-watt, internal speaker, which is located on top of the unit. You can also connect an external speaker or headphones to the unit. The speakers (and headphones) allow you to hear audio that is transmitted from client applications.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide When choosing a monitor to connect to the unit, ensure the monitor supports the video format used by the cameras (NTSC or PAL). Some SECAM monitors will also work when the PAL video format is used. If you choose a monitor with touchscreen support, you can use the monitor to view recorded video as well as live video. For information about recommended types of touchscreen monitors, please consult your vendor.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Plug into RS232/485 connector on CVG-M RS232 connector Figure 23: RS232/485 adapter 4. If the monitor is touch-sensitive, it is recommended that you calibrate it before you use it. For information about how to calibrate the monitor, please refer to the monitor’s documentation. Connecting a Switch If you wish, you can connect a switch to the unit to change the display on the monitor. The switch must be connected to the In1 connector.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Connecting the CVG-M to a Network The CVG-M can be connected to a local network using a network cable. Once connected, it can be accessed either from a PC on the same LAN network or via the internet through the LAN’s gateway (router). The unit also contains a cellular modem that allows it to connect wirelessly to a cellular network and, through the cellular network, to the internet.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide To insert a SIM card into the unit: 1. Using the tip of a paper clip, a ball-point pen, or a similar item, firmly press the release button at the side of the SIM-card slot on the rear of the CVG-M. The SIM-card holder pops partway out of the slot. SIM-card slot Release button Figure 24: SIM-card slot and release button 2. Pull the holder out of the unit and turn it over. 3.

SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Connecting the GPS Antenna A GPS receiver is built into the CVG-M unit. When the GPS antenna is connected to the unit, this receiver can be used to track the location of a vehicle in which the CVG-M is installed. To connect the GPS antenna: 1. Connect the supplied GPS antenna cable to the GPS Antenna connector on the side of the unit. 2. Place the other end of the antenna as high up as possible in the vehicle or on the roof of the vehicle.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Connecting the CVG-M to a Power Source The CVG-M can be connected either to an electrical outlet using the supplied power-supply cable, or to the ignition of a vehicle, using the supplied power cord. Once it is connected, the unit starts up automatically. During the start-up process, the Power LED on the top of the unit flashes at various intervals.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Figure 29: No wire connector connected to Power connector Figure 30: Wire connector connected to Power connector In order to connect the unit to the vehicle battery, the wire connector must be connected to the Power connector on the unit. Therefore, if your unit was supplied as a demo unit or as part of a small order, you must remove the wire connector from the power-connector cable and connect it to the unit.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide 3. Connect the power supply cable to the Power connector on the unit. 4. Plug the power-connector cable into the outlet. Connecting the CVG-M to a Vehicle Battery Normally, the unit is connected to a vehicle battery and to the ignition using 16 AWG cable (not supplied).

SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Appendix 1: Removing the MicroSD Card The CVG-M unit stores all recorded video and event information on a standard microSD card. The unit is supplied with a 4 GB microSD card. You can remove this card from the unit in order to copy video files from it and/or replace it with a different microSD card. NOTE: The CVG-M cannot record video or event information unless an appropriate microSD card is in the card slot.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide To insert a m icroSD card into the unit: • Hold the card as illustrated below and push it gently into the card slot until it clicks into place. Hold the card on this edge, with the lettering facing up.
SerVision CVG-M Installation Guide Appendix 2: Using the 12VDC Power Out Connector The CVG-M can supply power directly to cameras and other devices via the 12VDC Power Out connector on the rear panel of the unit. However, only a limited amount of power can be supplied by the CVG-M in this way. If the devices connected to the 12VDC Power Out connector draw a total of more than 250 mA at one time, the unit may overheat or otherwise malfunction.
