Layout of the Connection Panel

I / O Switch) The master ON (I) / OFF
(O) switch. To quickly turn the DVR on
or off, use this switch.
External I/O) For connecting the I/O
cable. The I/O cable has four video inputs
(VIN1 ~ VIN4), four audio inputs (AIN1 ~
AIN4) and the RS485, alarm and sensor
connections attached. Exercise care whilst
handling this cable (see page 5).
Video Outputs) This sends a composite
video signal out of the DVR. Each of the
two ports can be connected to separate
monitors, or external recording devices.
However, there is no requirement to use
these - the built-in monitor usually does
the job just fine.
Audio Outputs) Two mono audio output
channels. These output a standard 'line-
level' signal, and can easily be connected
to the audio inputs on a television or
stand-alone audio device.
LAN Port) To connect an Ethernet cable,
allowing the DVR to be connected to
a local area network. This network, in
turn, can be used to give the DVR a
connection to the Internet.
USB Ports) There are two USB ports
on the side of the DVR. The one closest
to the LAN port is for connecting a
standard USB mouse (nothing else will
work in this port). The second USB port
is for attaching a USB storage device,
which can be used to back up footage
from the DVR.
DC 12V) For supplying power to the
DVR. Use only the supplied power
adaptor, and do NOT change or modify
it in any way. Modifications to your
power supply radically increases the
risk of electrocution or fire, and will
immediately void your warranty.
AIN 1 ~ 4
Audio Inputs
The other end of the I/O cable
VIN 1~4) These are the four Video
INputs (where you'll connect your
cameras) labeled as per their channel in
the DVR's interface. Thus, VIN1 will be
shown and recorded in Channel 1 on
the DVR, and so on.
AIN 1 ~ 4) Four labelled Audio INputs,
each one paired with the correspondingly
numbered video input. These will accept
standard line-level signals (<1V).
RS485) For connecting a PTZ (pan, tilt,
zoom) capable system.
