  • Page 20 Installing the Camera(s) and Monitor • The DVR is typically connected to one camera that is installed inside the car. Other cameras can also be installed in different locations in the car (for example, use a waterproof camera on the outside of the vehicle). A typical monitor’s power supply would usually connect to the car’s cigarette-plug adapter.
  • Page 21: Video I/O Requirements

    1.9 VIDEO I/O REQUIREMENTS Cameras and CCTV monitors attached to this DVR must use copper-based 75 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG-59, RG- 6, or RG-11) with BNC connectors (preferably male, or female via a female-female adapter). Due to the possibility of impedance mismatch and undesired loss/reflections, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG-58) and 75 ohm foil shield antenna cable and other types of coaxial cable are not compatible.
  • Page 22: Alarm Contacts Installation

    1.11 ALARM CONTACTS INSTALLATION The 2/4 alarm inputs can be used to trigger recordings or to adjust recording rates. These inputs can also trigger alarms that cause the feed of the connected camera to be displayed on the surveillance monitor, or they can trigger buzzers, e-mail alerts and network alarms.
  • Page 23: Network Connection

    1.13 NETWORK CONNECTION This section only describes physical connections to an Ethernet network. This step must be completed before the DVR can connect to the network.
