Connecting External Devices

Step 1: Connect the cameras
Connect the coaxial cables from the cameras to the VIDEO IN connectors (1 Vp-p, 75 ohm).
Step 2: Connect the monitor
Connect a VGA cable (not supplied) to the VGA interface and/or an HDMI cable (not supplied)
to the HDMI interface. Connect the other end to a monitor (do not use a TV). Simultaneous VGA
and HDMI output is supported.
Step 3: Connect the mouse
Connect the supplied USB mouse to the USB 2.0 interface.
Step 4: Connect the Ethernet cable
Connect the supplied CAT5e Ethernet cable to the network port. Connect the other end to a
router on your network.
Step 5: Connect audio devices (if applicable)
To record audio, connect the audio sources to the AUDIO IN connectors. To play audio, connect
an audio output device (low-impedance headphones, speaker, or amplifier) to the AUDIO OUT
connector (200 mV / 1 kilohm).
Step 6: Connect alarm devices (if applicable)
Connect alarm devices to the alarm in/out interface. If the alarm inputs use external power, the
device must have the same ground as the DVR. See
Input/Outputs
Step 7: Connect a PTZ camera (if applicable)
To communicate with a PTZ camera, connect it to the RS485 A and B input. It is recommended
to use shielded twisted pair cable with the shielded layer used to connect to the ground. The
ground should be the same as for the DVR and the voltage between the A and B lines should
be less than 5 V.
Step 8: Connect the power cable
Connect the supplied 12 V DC power adapter to the power input. Use of an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) is strongly recommended.
