2-5 Audio and video input and output connections
2-5-1 Video input connections
The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC
(1.0VP-P, 75Ω).
The video signal must be according to the stated standard which has the high signal to noise ratio,
low aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the
appropriate brightness.
Ensure that the transmission line is stable and credible
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen depending on the
transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair,
video compensation equipment and transmit by fiber to ensure the signal quality.
The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other equipment
signal lines. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.
Ensure the connection is stable and credible
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which can avoid false and joint
welding and oxidation.
2-5-2 Video output connections and options
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P, 75Ω) and VGA output (selective
configuration).
When you replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.
1. Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
2. Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
3. Stayaway from the electro magnetic Interference.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control the
power supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The usage of low
quality TV can lead to the damage of other equipments.

2-5-3Audio signal input
Audio port is BNC connection.
The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electro magnetic Interference and connected
credible which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage current should be
avoided especially.
2-5-4Audio signal output
Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ (BNC) which can
connect the low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipments
through power amplifier. If the sound box and the tone arm cannot be isolated, howling phenomena
is often observed. There are some methods to deal with the above phenomena.
1. Adopt better directional tone arm.
2. Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling
phenomena.
3. Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.
4. Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.
2-5-5 Front equipment grounding note
Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the chip.

3 Basic operation
Note: The button in gray display indicates no support.
3-1 Turn on
Plug the adapter and turn ON the power supply switch. Power supply indicator light indicates
turning on the video recorder. After the startup you will hear a beep. The default setting of video
output is multiple-window output mode. If the startup time is within the video setting time, the
timing video recording function will start up automatically
Note: 1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the DVR power supply.
2. Power supply demands: 220V±10%/50Hz.
We suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions.
3-2 Turn off
There are two methods to turn off the DVR. Entering [main menu] and choosing [Shutdown] in the
[Logout] option is called soft switch. Unplug the power adapter to turn off the DVR.
Illumination:
1. Auto resume after power failure
If the DVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and resume previous
working status after power failure.
2. Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, unplug the power adapter to turn off the DVR.
3. Replace the battery
Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved. The DVR uses button battery.
The system time must be checked regularly. If the time is not correct you must replace the battery,
we recommend replacing the battery every year using the same battery type.
