Introduction 1 Introduction Features Your color digital video recorder (DVR) provides recording capabilities for 8 or 16 camera inputs.
Introduction Technical Overview In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation, your DVR has many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than even the most advanced VCR. The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost instantaneously; there is no need to rewind tape.

Note You cannot mix NTSC and PAL equipment. For example, you cannot use a PAL camera and an NTSC monitor.
Installation Connecting Audio Note It is the user's responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio. Your DVR can record audio from up to two sources. Connect the audio sources to Audio In 1 and Audio In 2 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect Audio Out to your amplifier. Figure 2-4 Note Audio Connectors The DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you need a speaker with an amplifier.
Installation Figure 2-6 Note Video Out Connector The VGA and Video Out (BNC) connectors may be connected to individual monitors for simultaneous operation. Connecting the DVR for Remote Access Connecting the RS-232C Port An RS-232C port is provided to connect an external modem for remote monitoring, configuration, software upgrades, and to connect a remote control keyboard. Use a modem cable with a DB-9S (female) connector to connect to the DVR.
Installation Caution The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire intended for outdoor use. Connecting the RS485 Port The DVR can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. The RS485 connector can also be used to control PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras. Connect the RX-/ TX- and RX+/TX+ of the control system to the TX-/RX- and TX+/RX+ (respectively) of the DVR.
Installation Note All the connectors marked GND are common. NC/NO (Relay Alarm Outputs) The DVR can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device to the C (Common) and NC (Normally Closed) or C and NO (Normally Open) connectors. NC/NO is a relay output which sinks 0.5A@125VAC and 1A@30VDC. See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring alarm output.
Installation Caution When you use the Factory Reset, you lose any settings you have saved. To reset the unit, you need a straightened paperclip: 1. Turn off the DVR. 2. Turn it on again. 3. While the DVR is initializing, the front panel LEDs blink. When the front panel LEDs blink, poke the straightened paperclip to the unlabeled hole in the left of the Alarm Output connectors. 4.
