Connecting your cameras.
Your Cameras have 2 plugs
attached, one is a BNC connector
(for the video) the other is for

the sockets on the end of one of
the cables included in the kit.

Once you have connected all the
cables successfully connect the
DVR & Camera power leads to a
power outlet. Switch on your TV
and select the HDMI socket you
have DVR connected to.

DVR Power
You can connect your system to
a HD TV using a HDMI Cable, you
can also connect them together
using an RCA lead, or to a
monitor using a VGA lead.
The face detection feature can tolerate an angle error of up to 45
degrees. Clear facial images will decrease the chance of an omission
from the face capture list.
Horizontal Angle Vertical Angle
The horizontal angle is the angle
between the camera and the
horizontal direction away from
the face pointing at the camera.
The limit should be below 45
degrees. It is recommended not
to exceed 30 degrees.
The vertical angle means the
angle above and between
camera and person’s face.
The limit should be below 45
degrees. It is recommended not
to exceed 30 degrees.
The proportion of the face
inside the screen is a critical
factor for face detection. The
minimum height of the face
should be more than 8% of the
screen and the recommended
height is 20% of the screen.
Baring in mind the above
requirements, you can gure out
how to choose the lens according
to the size of the camera’s
sensor.
You will also need to connect yout
DVR to a TV or monitor. You can
connect your system to a HD TV using
a HDMI cable, you can also use the
RCA (Video Out) socket or the VGA
socket on the back of the DVR.
Further, more detailed instructions on how to operate your DVR are included in the main manual which is on the set up disc included.
We refrain from printing these large manuals in an effort to limit our impact on the environment.
