verysimplesteps.Thebasicconnectionforvideoandaudioareverysimilar
toaVCRorDVDplayer.Theoneareathatdiersfromwhatyoumayhave

toanyofthefour(4)wires.
Tohelpmaketheconnectionseasier,thecablesthataachtothebackof

theinputsinthepictureonpages12and13.
You will need a single 12 volt power source for the system with
just one (1) power and one (1) ground source needed.
Westronglyrecommendthatthepowersourcebefromswitchedpower
thatisonlyhotwhenthevehiclekeyisinthe‘ON’position.Thisshouldbe
ave(5)ampfusedpowersource.Toeliminateinterference,thereshould
benootherequipmentonthiscircuit.
It is also very important that the ground be a good chassis
ground source and not tied into the ground of other equipment.
NOTE: Actual camera appearance may vary from illustration.
When the DVR’s door is unlocked to allow access to the SD
cards the system is automatically powered down to protect the
les on the SD cards. When the door is locked, the DVR system
will be able to accept power and turn on again.
