A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer
monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to
the DVR.
Connecting to 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 RX-/TX-
and RX+/ TX+ of the control system to the - and + (respectively) of the DVR. See
Chapter 3, Configuration
