1.2 Rear panel & Connections
Before powering up your new DVR, please connect cameras to the BNC inputs (2), LAN cable
from the Network port (7) to your router (or switch), mouse to a USB port (8) on the back panel
(TIP: Leave the USB port empty on the front panel for easier backup drive access), and the
VGA (6) or HDMI (7) port to a high definition monitor, or the V-OUT jack (4) to a standard
monitor with a video input. If you have a motorized PTZ camera, connect its data control wires
to the RS485 A-B terminals (9) following the instructions that came with the camera.
Finally,
connect the included 12VDC regulated power supply (10) that came with your DVR
. Caution:
Using a power supply from another source can cause erratic operation, or circuit failure.
