REMOTE UNIT INSTALLATION
2. REMOTE UNIT INSTALLATION
This chapter describes installation procedure of the remote video surveillance unit that is the
essential part of the DVS package. The remote DVS unit is a standalone device that does not
need any direct connection to a PC on remote monitoring site. The unit's exterior is shown in
Figure 1.
The remote unit should be placed on the site that requires monitoring, anywhere within the
reach of a telephone line. It is recommended to place the DVS unit as near to the video cameras
as possible to avoid image quality degradation or use of expensive high-grade video cables.
Maximum video cable length is 100 meters and may vary depending on cable quality.

First, you should check DVS unit CONFIGURATION in order to make appropriate DIP-
switch SW settings on the back panel of unit (see Figure 2). All possible operation modes
are tabulated:

Provided that you will use device with internal modem configuration, connect the telephone
line (RJ11 plug) to the Line connector on your DVS unit (see Figure 2). If the same line is
also to be used for as a regular telephone line or to connect a fax machine, then use the
