1) Infrared (IR) Extender Port: By default the NVR has a built-in IR receiver on front panel, allowing you to use the
remote control. However, if the distance between the remote control and the NVR is too large, you need to
install an IR extender into the IR extender port.
NOTE: The IR extender is not included.
2) HDMI Output: This is considered as the main output of the NVR. We recommend using this output for the best
available video output quality.
• For ulmate result, use a Full HD 1080p-capable monitor/TV.
NOTE: Please be noted that in many cases the TV which can display 1080p resoluon is not always a Full HD. In
reality they downscale a 1080p signal to the resoluon of the screen. For the best image quality, we recommend
to use a monitor/TV that can display a resoluon 1920 x 1080 or higher.
3) Audio Output: The supplied camera does not support audio recording. For normal operaon, the Audio Output
is not required.
4) VGA Output: If an HDMI monitor is not available, use this connecon to connect to a PC monitor using VGA
connecon.
