Connecting the DVR

The Rear Panel of the DVR

1) Video Inputs 1 - 4: These are your primary video inputs.

Each accepts a standard composite video signal and connects

via a BNC connector.

The channels are labeled by number in the same order as they

will appear on your DVR’s interface.

2) Video Inputs 5 - 8/9: As 1) but apply to the 8 and 9-channel

model only. Video input 9 is located in the same location as

Audio Input 1 on the 8-channel model - three audio inputs are

removed to allow the space for the extra BNC connector.

3) Audio Input(s): These will accept a standard line-level

signal (<1V). The four and eight channel models feature four

audio inputs. The nine channel model features one audio

input.

4) HDMI Output: The primary output of the DVR. For the

highest possible video output quality, we suggest using this

output.

• For best results, use a monitor/television capable of

displaying Full HD 1080p.

• Note that many televisions which can display 1080p

signals are not actually Full HD. These kinds of televisions

downscale a 1080p signal to the resolution of the screen.

For the best possible image, use a television/monitor

which can display 1920 x 1080 or higher.

5) VGA Output: For connecting a television or PC monitor

with a VGA input.

6) Audio Output: A standard line-level audio output.

7) Network Port: Where you can connect the DVR to a

network, typically directly into the router or network switch.

8) USB 2.0 Port: For connecting a USB mouse or a USB storage

device. We suggest connecting USB storage to the USB port

on the front of the DVR, and using the rear port for the mouse.

9) eSATA Port: To connect an external hard drive which

will act as a live recording drive in the same manner as the

installed HDD.

10) PTZ (RS485) Port: To connect the RS485 cables to control

a PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) device to the DVR.

11) DC 12V Power Input: Where you connect the included DC

12V power adapter. Use only the supplied power adapter with

the DVR, and use the power adapter only with the DVR.
