Layout of the Rear Panel

1) CH1 ~ CH16 (Video Inputs): These are the
sixteen camera inputs, labelled as per their
channel in the DVR's interface. Thus, plug the
camera you want to be associated with Channel
1 into the port marked CH1 and so on.
2) Video Outputs: This sends a composite video
signal out of the DVR. Each of the two ports can
be connected to separate monitors. The output
marked MAIN will show the main DVR interface
(all channels accessible plus menus, unless you've
configured the DVR to use the HDMI / VGA as the
main output). The SPOT output is for connection
to a secondary monitor, to display select channels
or events as they happen.
3) Audio Inputs (CH1 ~ CH4): Four labelled
audio inputs. These will accept standard line-level
signals (<1V) and can be assigned to channels
later. To connect more audio devices, use the
serial adapter (see "10").
4) Audio Output: 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.
The top output is the MAIN audio out, the lower
one is the SPOT audio output.
5) HDMI Output: For connection to an HDMI
compatible monitor or television. This will display
the same image as the MAIN video output, but at
a higher resolution.
6) VGA Output: For connection to a VGA
monitor. This will display the same image as the
MAIN video output at a selectable resolution up
to UXGA resolution(1600 x 1200).

7 Above) USB Mouse Port: For connecting the
included USB mouse (other standard USB mice will
also work). This port will not accept a USB flash
drive – this port will work with a mouse only.
7 Below) USB Backup Port: For connecting a
USB flash drive for the purposes of backing up
footage.
8) Alarm/Sensor/RS485 Connections: For
connecting external sensors, alarms or external
devices to the DVR. The most often used ports
are located on the upper left: this is the RS485
port, used primarily to connect PTZ (pan, tilt,
zoom) devices.
9) Power Connection: 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.
10) Audio Inputs (CH5 ~ CH16): An additional
12 audio inputs. These require use of the included
serial port adapter, but otherwise work in the
same manner as the primary audio inputs.
11) 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.
12) Power Switch: Turns the DVR on (I) or off (O).
