1. Product Introduction
1-1 Introduction and safety information
Thank you for purchasing DIGISOL NVR!
This user manual is a reference guide for the installation and operation of your NVR. The
DG-SR3004, DG-SR3008, DG-SR3016 & DG-SR3024 are 4, 8, 16 & 24 channel NVR
respectively. This user manual is common for above mentioned NVR. Before installation and
operation please read the following safeguards and warnings carefully!
Important Safeguards and Warnings
Do not place heavy objects on the NVR.
Do not let any solid or liquid fall into or infiltrate the NVR.
Please brush the printed circuit boards, connectors, fans, machine box and so on regularly.
Before the dust cleaning please switch off the power supply and unplug it.
Do not disassemble or repair the NVR yourself.
Do not replace the components yourself.
Environment
Please place and use the NVR between 0ºC and 40ºC. Avoid direct sunlight & keep the NVR
away from heat source.
Do not install the NVR in damp environment.
Do not use the NVR in smoky or dusty environment.
Avoid collision or strong fall.
Please ensure the NVR level installation in a stable workplace.
Please install in ventilated place. Keep the vent clean.
Use within the rating input and output scope.

2-6 Audio and video input and output connections
2-6.1 Video output connections and options
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC VGA output & HDMI 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. Stay away from the electromagnetic 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.
2-6.2 Audio signal input (Only for 16/24 Channel)
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 electromagnetic Interference and connected
credible which avoid false and joint welding and oxidation. The high voltage current should be
avoided especially.
2-6.1 Audio signal output (Only for 16/24 Channel)
Commonly the output parameter of NVR 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.

NVR User Manual

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.
2-6.2 PTZ decoder connections (Only for 16/ 24 channel)
2-6.2.1The grounding of the PTZ decoder and NVR must be shared otherwise the common-
mode voltage will lead to the PTZ control failure. The shielded twisted pair is
recommended.
2-6.2.2Avoid the entrance of high voltage. Make the layout. Take precaution from the thunder.
2-6.2.3In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and
insure the signal quality.
2-6.2.4The 485 AB lines of NVR cannot connect with other 485 output equipmentsparalleled.
2-6.2.5The voltage between the AB lines of the decoder must be less than 5V.
2-6.3 Front equipment grounding note
Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the chip.
2-7 Speed dome connections
1. Connect the 485 interface of the speed dome with the NVR 485 interface.
2. Connect the video line with the NVR video input.
3. Power ON the speed dome.
