2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Hardware Set-Up
1 Connect power to the unit via the 12 V DC supply provided or if using an external
supply, AfterBurner requires a 10 to 20 V DC supply, drawing approximately 0.7A at
12 V when recording, 1.2 A when burning DVDs.
2 Connect a camera to the BNC video input. AfterBurner automatically configures itself
for PAL or NTSC operation. If required, the VIDEO OUT connector provides a
monitor of the video input with the AfterBurner onscreen display included.
NB: In time-lapse mode, best results are obtained by using a fixed camera.
3 If required, connect left & right audio inputs. The audio input is at line level (300mV
peak to peak nominal, 2.5 V pp max) with an input impedance of > 10 k.
NB: Audio will only be successfully recorded when the video set to real-time mode.
With the video is set to time-lapse mode, it is strongly recommended the audio
recording is not enabled unless audio is required during alarm recording. See
Section 4.4.
