If you would like to connect your video source to another device, you can use the Loop 
BNC connectors.
NoteThe Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do NOT connect 
a cable to the Loop BNC unless it is connected to a terminated 
device because it will cause poor quality video.
Connecting the Monitor
Figure 2-4 Video Out Connectors
Connect the main monitor to either the Video Out or SVHS Out connector.
NoteUse the SVHS input if your main monitor supports it because it 
will give you better quality video display.
NoteThe Video Out (BNC) and SVHS Out connectors may be 
connected to individual monitors for simultaneous operation.
Up to four Spot monitors can be connected to the DVR. Connect the spot monitors to 
the SPOT 1, SPOT 2, SPOT 3 and SPOT 4 connectors as needed.
NoteWhen the DVR is in Search mode, it can display live video on the 
SPOT 1 monitor as displayed on the main monitor during the live 
mode.

Connecting a VGA Monitor
Figure 2-5 VGA Connector
A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer 
monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to 
the DVR.
NotePressing and holding DISPLAY on the front panel for 5 seconds 
or longer will switch the video output between Video Out (BNC or 
SVHS Out) and VGA Out. During clip copy, you cannot switch 
the video output between Video Out and VGA Out.
CautionThe DVR will NOT record video for about 3 seconds while 
switching the video output between Video Out and VGA Out.
Connecting Audio
NoteIt is the user’s responsibility to determine if local laws and 
regulations permit recording audio.

Your DVR can record audio from up to four sources. Connect the audio sources to 
Audio In 1, Audio In 2, Audio In 3 and Audio In 4 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect 
Audio Out to your amplifier.
NoteThe DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you will need 
a speaker with an amplifier. The DVR does not have a 
pre-amplifier for audio input, so the audio input should be from 
an amplified source, not directly from a microphone.
Connecting Alarms
Figure 2-7 Alarm Input Connectors
NoteTo make connections on the Alarm Connector strip, press and 
hold the button and insert the wire in the hole below the button. 
After releasing the button, tug gently on the wire to make certain 
it is connected. To disconnect a wire, press and hold the button 
above the wire and pull out the wire.
AI 1 to 16 (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 4.3V and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected.  
See Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring alarm input. 
						

							Installation
26
GND (Ground)
NoteAll the connectors marked GND are common.
Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the GND connector.
AO 1 to 16 (Alarm-Out)
Figure 2-8 Alarm Output Connectors
The DVR can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device to 
the AO (Alarm-Out) and GND (Ground) connectors. AO is an active low open collector 
output which sinks 5 mA@12V and 30 mA@5V. See Chapter 3, Configuration for 
configuring alarm outputs.
ARI (Alarm Reset In)
Figure 2-9 Alarm Reset Input Connectors
An external signal to the Alarm Reset In can be used to reset both the Alarm Out signal 
and the DVR’s internal buzzer. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the ARI 
(Alarm Reset In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold voltage is below 0.3V 
and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected. Connect the wires to the ARI 
(Alarm Reset In) and GND (Ground) connectors.

Connecting to the RS485 Port
Figure 2-10 RS485 Connector
The DVR can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a 
control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. The RS485 
connector can also be used to control PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras. Connect RX-/TX- 
and RX+/TX+ of the control system to the - and + (respectively) of the DVR. See 
Chapter 3, Configuration and the PTZ camera or remote controller manufacturer’s 
manual for configuring the RS485 connection.
Connecting to the USB Ports
Figure 2-11 Front USB Connectors
Figure 2-12 Rear USB Connector
Three USB ports are provided to connect external hard disk, CD-RW or flash drives for 
video clip copying or system upgrades. One USB port is located on the rear panel and 
the other two are on the front panel. Position external drives close enough to the DVR 
so that you can make the cable connections, usually less than 6 feet. Use the USB cable 
provided with the hard disk drive to connect it to the DVR.
A USB mouse (not supplied) can be connected to one of the ports. You can use the 
mouse to navigate through the screens and menus much like you would on a computer.
A PostScript™ USB printer (not supplied) can be connected to one of the ports. You can 
print selected images resulting from a search. Refer to Chapter 4, Operation, Searching 
Video.
A USB to Serial converter can be connected to the USB port. Multiple text-in devices 
can be used with a USB to Serial converter.

Connecting to the RS232 Port
Figure 2-13 RS232 Connector
An RS232 port is provided to connect an external modem for remote monitoring, 
configuration and software upgrades, and to connect a remote control keyboard. Use 
a modem cable with a DB-9S (female) connector to connect to the DVR. See Chapter 3, 
Configuration for configuring the modem.
NoteThe DVR is not supplied with a modem cable, and many 
modems are not supplied with cables. Make certain you have the 
correct cable when purchasing the modem.
Connecting to the Ultra Wide SCSI Port
Figure 2-14 SCSI Connector
A SCSI port is provided to connect external storage devices for recording or archiving 
video. Connect the external SCSI hard disk drive (RAID) cable to the high-density 68-pin 
female UltraWide SCSI port. The length of SCSI cable should not exceed 5 feet (1.5 
meters). You can connect up to 8 UltraWide SCSI devices with SCSI IDs set from 0 to 
15 except for 7, which is assigned as the Host ID.
NoteThe SCSI bus must be terminated, otherwise the DVR will not 
operate properly.

CautionDo NOT connect or disconnect SCSI devices while the DVR 
power is on. The DVR must be powered down to connect or 
disconnect SCSI devices. Power up SCSI devices so they are 
ready for operation before powering up the DVR. Power down 
SCSI devices after powering down the DVR and then disconnect 
SCSI devices.
CautionIf the SCSI device is shut down while the device is operating, the 
DVR system might not operate normally.
Connecting to the Network Port
Figure 2-15 Network Connector
The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a Cat5 
cable with an RJ-45 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.
CautionThe network connecter is not designed to be connected with 
cable or wire intended for outdoor use.

Factory Reset
Figure 2-16 Factory Reset Switch
The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the left of the USB port on the rear panel. This 
switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to 
the original factory settings.
CautionWhen using the Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have 
saved.
To reset the unit, you will need a straightened paperclip:
1. Turn the DVR off.
2. Turn it on again.
3. While the DVR is initializing, the front panel LEDs will blink. When any of the 
Camera 1 to 8 LEDs blink, poke the straightened paperclip in the unlabeled hole 
to the left of the USB port.
4. Hold the switch until all the LEDs on the front panel are lit.
NoteWhen the DVR successfully resets to factory defaults, all the 
LEDs on the front panel will flash five times.
5. Release the reset switch. All of the DVR’s settings are now at the original settings it 
had when it left the factory.
