The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full or it can be set up to 
record over the oldest video after the disk is full.
Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter 
video.
You can view live video, search for images, and control your DVR remotely by 
connecting via external modem or Ethernet. You can use the USB port to copy video 
clips to USB-IDE hard disk drives, USB CD-RW drives, or flash drives.

NoteThe Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do not connect 
a cable to the Loop BNC unless it is connected to another 
terminated device because it will cause poor quality video.
Connecting Audio
NoteIt is your responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations 
permit recording audio.
Figure 2-4 Audio In and Out Connectors
Your DVR can record audio. 
1. Connect the audio source to Audio In. 
2. Connect Audio Out to your amplifier.
NoteThe DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you need a

The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a CAT5 
cable with an RJ45 jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a 
computer for remote monitoring, searching, configuration, and software upgrades. See 
Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring the Ethernet connections.
Connecting to the RS232C Port
Figure 2-9 RS232C Connector
Use the RS232C port to connect an external modem for remote monitoring, 
configuration, and software upgrades, text input, and to connect a remote control 
keyboard. Use a modem cable with a DV9S (female) connector to connect to the DVR. 
The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a CAT5

made. 
CautionIf you wish to use the same DVR name registered on the DVRNS 
server after initializing the system using the factory reset, you 
need to contact the DVRNS server manager. Please record and 
save the help desk information before performing a factory reset.
To reset the unit, you need a straightened paper clip:
1. Turn the DVR off.
2. Turn it on again.
3. While the DVR is initializing, poke a straightened paper clip in the unlabeled hole

AI 1 to 4 (Alarm In)
You can use external devices to signal the DVR to react to events. Mechanical or 
electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The 
threshold voltage is for NC (Normally Closed) is above 4.3V and should be stable at 
least 0.5 seconds to be detected. For NO (Normally Open), the threshold voltage is 
below 0.3V. See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring alarm input.
GND (Ground)
Connect the ground side of the Alarm input to the GND connector.
