The F1/N, F2/N, and F1/F2 series DVR supports the AHD video input. You must define each analog channel to
TVI/CVBS, AHD or IP signal input before connecting the camera. And the channel must be connected with the
same video input type which you configure on the menu.
Steps:
1. Enter the Signal Input Status interface.
Menu > Camera > Signal Input Status
2. Check the checkbox to select different signal input types: TVI/CVBS, AHD and IP (For E series DVR, there
is no signal input configuration interface.).

selected, only the AHD signal input can be connected.
