SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ventilation Slots: Do not block the ventilation openings or slots on the cover.
Limits for Temperature, umidity and Power: Do not operate the device beyond its specified
temperature, humidity or power source ratings. Do not use the device in environments with very high
temperature or humidity. Use it at temperatures between -20~ ºC (-4~131ºF). The input power source for
this device is 10~36VDC.
Servicing: Do not attempt to service this unit by yourself. Do not attempt to disassemble the device.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Refer all work on this device to qualified service personnel. Handle the device with
care. Do not strike or shake it, as this may damage the device.
Cleaning: Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the device’s cover. Use a damp cloth to clean the device when it is dirty. If the dirt is hard to
remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.
Attached Devices: Do not attach devices that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Power Outlets: Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this could cause fire or electric shock.
Power Cables: Power cables and their connectors should be placed where they are not likely to be walked
on, crushed or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Foreign Objects: Never push objects of any kind into this unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock. Do not let any
metallic parts drop through the slots, as this could permanently damage the device. If this happens
accidentally, turn the power off immediately and contact qualified service personnel for support.
Liquids: Do not expose the device to water or moisture, and do not try to operate it in wet areas or near
water – for example: near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool, in an unprotected outdoor installation, etc. Take immediate action if the device becomes
wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage the device
and can also cause electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
Read All Instructions: All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
Retain These Instructions: The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

 Installing the Camera(s) and Monitor
The DVR is typically connected to one camera installed inside the car. Other camera(s) can also be installed in
different locations (for example, use the waterproof camera to the outside of vehicle). For installation procedure,
please refer to the guide that came with the camera(s) you purchased.
The Monitor power supply connects from the Automotive adapter (cigarette plug)
Monitor and cameras must be purchased separately.
 Connect the Camera(s)Connect the power connector from the camera(s) harness into the CAMERA
POWER OUT jack on the back panel of the DVR.
Connect the primary camera(s) video connector to the CAMERA INPUT and the audio connector to the AUDIO
INPUT in the back panel.
Adjust the camera(s). After the camera is installed, connect a monitor directly to the camera and observe the
image.
Make any adjustment if necessary.

1.8 VIDEO INPUTS/OUTPUTS INSTALLATION
Cameras and CCTV monitors must use copper center conductor/copper braid 7 Ohm video cable (e.g. RG- 9,
RG-6, RG-11) with BNC connectors.
To avoid impedance mismatch and undesired loss/reflections, 0 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG- 8), or 7 ohm foil
shield antenna cable and other types of coaxial cable are not compatible.
All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp NTSC or PAL standard video signal.
When converting other transmission types (twisted pair, fiber optics, radio) for the video inputs, be sure to verify
accurate receiver calibration and signal levels.
ATTENTION: In order for the system to auto-detect the appropriate video format (NTSC or PAL), make sure that
there is a video signal on video input 1 upon power-up.
1.9 AUDIO INSTALLATION
This DVR provides 2 line level audio inputs and 1 line level audio output.
ATTENTION: The direct connection of a non-amplified microphone is not supported (a microphone amplifier is
required). The audio output requires an amplifier to drive a speaker or headphones.
The installation must be connected with audio coax cable and RCA plugs.
AUDIO RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY:
Audio recording is activated / deactivated in the Camera Menu for Camera #1~2 respectively. Please check and
always comply with local laws and regulations when using audio recording.
The audio channel is always recorded together with video and is independent of the image recording rate. Though
the audio record control is done in the Camera #1~2 screen, there is no specific camera allocation.
1.10 ALARM CONTACTS INSTALLATION
The alarm inputs can be used to start recording or for recording rate adjustment. In addition, alarm reactions such
as camera display on the monitor, buzzer, e-mail and network alarm are available. The alarm output relay can be
switched if required. Alarm input response actions can be controlled according to a flexible schedule.

11
1.10.1 Alarm Input Contacts
This DVR provides one alarm input per camera. All inputs are programmable N.O. (Normal Open) or N.C. (Normal
Closed) Inputs have to be switched by dry contacts. All settings are programmed in the ALARM menu (Section 0).
Alarm input with N.O. (Normal Open) contact Alarm input with N.C. (Normal Closed) contact

1.10.2 Alarm Output Relay
The relay output provides either Normally Open or Normally Closed dry contacts.
Output relay in idle state
1.11 USB-Mouse installation
Connect the USB mouse to one of the 2 USB ports. (This can be done while DVR is powered on) The rear USB
V1.0 port is recommended to reserve the higher speed front USB V2.0 port for video copy/export.
NOTE: Recommended mouse types are Logitech® and Microsoft® wired USB wheel-mouse. Wireless USB
mouse is not supported.

12
1.12 NETWORK CONNECTION
This section only describes physical connection to an Ethernet network. This step must be completed before the
DVR can connect to the network. There are two basic types of connection:
1.12.1 Direct PC Connection t roug Crossover Network Cable
The point-to-point connection of DVR and PC requires a crossover (crossed) network cable. This type of
connection is ONLY used for direct connection to a single PC. Make sure that the PC is equipped with a 10/100
Mbps compatible network connection.
Figure 1-3 Direct PC Connection
Pinout of crossover-cable

13
1.12.2 Network Connection t roug Patc Cable
The connection to an existing network requires a normal patch cable (straight-through). The illustration shows the
connection to a network switch or router.
