according to the instructions. The battery shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, re or the like.
19. Tmra
A manufacturer’s maximum recommended ambient temperature (Tmra)
for the equipment must be specied so that the customer and installer may
determine a suitable maximum operating environment for the equipment.
20. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient
temperature (Tmra).
21. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount of
airow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
22. Mechani cal Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading.
23. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply
circuit and the eect that overloading of circuits might have on over current
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
24. Reliable Grounding
Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

^ USB Ports
•Storage Device Connection
Connect an external USB hard drive or a USB ash
memory device to one of the USB ports for use with
the Clip Copy feature. The external storage device
should be placed as close to the NVR as possible.
It is recommended that you use a connection
cable that is no longer than 180cm in length. Use
the connection cable included with your external
storage device to connect the device to one of NVR's
USB ports. For more information Clip Copy, refer to
the 5 Clip-Copy on page 73.
•Peripheral Device Connection
Use the USB ports to connect peripherals such as a
USB mouse to the NVR. You can also use a USB-to-
serial converter and connect multiple text-in devices
to the NVR at the same time.
For USB ash memory devices, the NVR supports
the FAT32 le format only.

Rear Panel Connections
Video Input
Connect the coaxial cables from the video sources to the
BNC Video In connectors.
Video Loop Through
Connect the coaxial cables from the video sources to the
BNC Video In connectors.
The 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.
Audio Connection
Connect the audio device to AUDIO IN 1 to AUDIO IN
16 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect AUDIO OUT
to speakers with a built-in amplier. Use the provided
audio extension cable to connect the audio sources to
AUDIO IN 5 to 16.
•This NVR does not feature a built-in audio amplier
unit and therefore requires the user to purchase a
speaker system with a built-in amplier separately.
It's possible to connect an amplied audio source to
the NVR, but microphones that do not have a built-in
amplier will not function properly if connected
to the NVR directly. If this is the case, connect the
microphone to the NVR via a pre-amp.
•Check your local laws and regulations on making
audio recordings.
Video In Port
•Video In Port
This port does not support PoE. It's possible to establish
a network with network cameras and external hubs
using a Cat6 cable.
•Green LED on the right will turn on if connected to
a 1000 BASE-T network. Orange LED on the left will
then ash once a link has been established.
•When using a Cat5e cable, the data transfer speed
may decrease depending on how to establish a
network.
•If more than 16 cameras from video encoders are
registered on the NVR, video may not be displayed
smoothly in a remote program.
Network Port
The NVR can be networked using the 10Mb/100Mb/1Gb
Ethernet connector. Connect a Cat5e cable with an
RJ-45 jack to the NVR connector. The NVR can be
networked with a computer for remote monitoring,
searching, conguration and software upgrades. For
more information on ethernet connection setup, refer to
Network Setup on page 54.
Connector directions may vary depending on the NVR
model.
eSATA Connection
Connect external hard drives to these ports.

Part 1 – Introduction
16
Do not connect or disconnect an eSATA device while
the NVR is powered on. To connect an eSATA device,
rst turn o the NVR and unplug the power cable.
Connect the eSATA device and then power the eSATA
device rst and then NVR back on. To disconnect an
eSATA device, rst turn o the NVR and unplug the
power cable. Turn o the eSATA device and then
disconnect the eSATA connection cable.
RS-485 Connection
This NVR supports the RS-485 half-duplex serial
communication protocol for connecting to external
devices such as POS units. The RS-485 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 NVR.

•Alarm In 1 through 16
This NVR is capable of responding to event signals
from external alarm in devices. Connect mechanical
or electrical switches to AI 1 through 16 and the GND
(ground) connector. In order to be recognized by the
NVR, the signal from an alarm in device must be less
than 0.3V and maintained for at least 0.5 seconds. The
alarm in voltage range is 0V to 5V. For more information
on alarm in setup, refer to the Alarm-In on page 50.
•GND (Ground)
Connect alarm in or out's ground cable to the GND
connector.
All connectors marked "GND" are common connectors.
•NC/NO (Relay Alarm Outputs)
This NVR is capable of activating/deactivating buzzers,
lights, and other external devices. Connect a mechanical
or electrical switch to C and NO connectors. NC/NO is
a relay output which sinks 2A@125VAC and 1A@30VDC.
For more information on alarm out setup, refer to the
Alarm-Out on page 57.
ARI (Alarm Reset In)
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 and GND connectors.
