RS485, and two RS232 extended externalports which allow connection
toappropriate devices according to requirements of vehicles;
3. Power Connection
To connect the yellow cable of the power cord to ACC, the control circuit switch of the
vehicle, and the red and black ones are respectively connected to positive and negative electrode
of the vehicle power supply and then to vehicle MDVR. When testing the wiring condition,
twisting the red cable and yellow cable together and connect to the positive electrode, while the
black one is connected to the negative electrode.
Figure 2 Power Wiring Diagram
It is suggested that the MDVR power cable to be directly connected to the positive and negative
terminals of the vehicle battery cell (or the vehicle battery cell with fuse box). DO NOT connect
the MDVR power cable to any metal conductor subjects of the vehicle, which may influence
normal operation of the MDVR due to negative pulse; The power cable used for positive and
negative terminals shall have diameter of φ1.5mm or above.

methods, from the Setup menu →Channel Mode interface, select
the desired connection mode and save it and the system will
automatically restart. Then, from the Setup menu →Record Setup
→Main Stream and IPC setting, where you can set video resolution,
frame rate, picture quality, audio recording and IP address for each
channel (Following figures show JH4-HYBRID setting interface.
Settings for the 8 channelsMDVR are similar).
